Still kind of amazed that the military adopted a round that runs at 80,000. i'll be amazed if we ever see it issued. This is about the fourth "new Army rifle" they have adopted since the M16 came on the scene... I remember all the hype about the SCAR just a few years ago --- the rest just...

its tempting to say 10mm as i have a current fascination with the round and they can have a bunch of capacity-- have a small Glock that is concealable, larger Glock and a 1911 for other things and now there are a couple of carbine variants in the AR platform that are GTG -------- But i will waffle o...

Doug, your thread makes me realize I need a better first aid kit than an airway tube and an Israeli bandage that I forgot how to use.

I have Novak sights on my 3" Ruger GP100 Wiley Clapp. Planning on changing the rear sight to a Novak adjustable sight. I like the sight picture.
Best wishes as you proceed..

I just looked up the Wiley Clapp GP-100 - the Novak sights look great on there
