anyone know about AR15/m16/M4's?

@ Enigmatic, i had the 0317mos as well, i would personally go with the M4, you have more options,ie optics and such.
plus, you can get the M4 version in 7.62, which means, heavier barrel, also, you can def reach out and touch something 500yds+ with accuracy!!! :-)

dont worry, im definantly going to have some 7.62's in my collection

but lets say i got an M16A2, would all the aftermarket uppers work for it? or would i need some special bolt or something, cause i want an original, bu twas planning on getting a 16'' flat top upper for it also

Scout Sniper (0317) Basically No# for your job title,
But you cant just be an 0317, you have to be in the infantry first, then try out for STA platoon (Scout Snipers) , this is called a "Indock" then they will send you to the Scout Sniper school, after you graduate from school (which has a huge drop out rate) you get the (0317) mos (MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY)

thats it in a short!

you really got to watch alot of the aftermarket stuff for it honestly, if you do get one, I would stay away from the cheaper ones and go with something like a Bushmaster or colt or something like that, they make alot of there own aftermartket stuff. Quality stuff.

thats good to know, cause i absolutly refuse to buy any M16/M4 that isnt a Colt lol, i love colt too much

[darren0311]

I personally like colts and bushmasters, ther is a new company out there that makes a half decent one also, there higher end stuff is nice, "Panther Arms" is the name..

FYI, it took me 8 years in the Marines to get into the Scout Snipers if that tells you anything. its the toughest school in the military next to "SERE" school in MY Opinion

damn, 8yrs? how long have you been sniping? and also, how many deployments in those first 4yrs? thats all i would sign at first, then see if i want to re-enlist
