My milspec Garand will still punch 12" at 300 yards in rapid fire(prone position). I have friends still flying F15's that have thousands of hours on the airframe. You can still occasionally pick up boxes of 45 that have been in storage since Korea, 100 percent success in working the action. :) Not trying to start a battle but a lot of milspec stuff is very well engineered, manufactured, and maintained. Enjoy. Don don.dory@gmail.com On 1/29/07, Philip Forrest <photo.forrest@earthlink.net> wrote: > > They exist because they are the sole IT source for the US military.
