The barreled kits died when the powers that be decided that a barrel once mated to a select fire receiver was a "machine gun" part and therefore banned from import. That's the main reason the WASR 10/63 always came with surplus parts and a 'new" Romanian barrel and new receiver. The next time we have a Democratic president I expect all imports of AK/AKM variants will be banned.

922r.....Yeah I don't give a fat rat's scrotum about that too, lol.

I knew that's what happened, I just didn't know the reason behind it. I guess that got lost in translation (not to you) when I was talking about barreled kits.

I don't give a crap about 922 either. Never have, never will.

I guess the "machine gun part" is the key phrase? Although full auto parts aren't illegal to have?

90% of my engagements in Afghanistan were within 100 meters. Probably 30% of those were what we consider near ambushes. At least they were initiated as near ambushes and other elements would be farther off within that 100m zone. Almost all of them were complex ambushes using multiple firing positions or combinations of SAF and IED threat. I’d say 65-75% of those always utilized RPGs. I couldn’t have gave a shit less about 6.8 from my point of view.

The farthest shots my snipers took were probably 500m.

I received the M855A1 enhanced round about a third of the way through my deployment. It was a significant difference on the ground. It would penetrate mud huts like a SOB and was leaving much nicer exit wounds for a fact. It would blow the backside out of guys like I had never seen a 62gr penetrator do.

some of my other squad leader peers were a bit concerned with collateral in regards to the M855A1 just blazing through multiple mud walls or both sides of a hut. A few opted to move back to the 62gr green tip for their boys. I gladly took all of their m855A1 and distributed it my squad. It was a better performer.

example. Night ops, gunfight outside of mosque on a movement to contact. 35-50m engagement distance. Stitched up a dude squirting from the inside of mosque to outside. One round entered his gut just under sternum, zipped down and exited out his lower back/ass cheek left about a dip can sized hole. Anchored his ass right there.
Everything I have read about the M855A1 points to enhanced like M855 penetration with M193 wounding characteristics. Lots of folks don't know or remember the awesome wounding mechanism of M193. Not the best barrier penetrater, but 55 grain fragmenting M193 ain't no joke when it comes to wounding. Fist size exit holes at terminal velocities greater than 2700 feet per second (100 meters with a M4, 200ish meters with an A2) are the hallmark of a M193 hit.

When I first saw it was like “damnnnn thats weird” then after I saw it a few times I was like

Also when we got em I remember I could spin the copper tip freely. I would kind of use it like a fidget spinner. It wasn’t all of them but most of them could spin freely. I didn’t know if they were supposed to spin or not spin until like a month ago when me and @Bigigloopt2 were taking about it and he googled it and found out some odd percentage of them spun freely during army testing but didn’t create any kind of difference down range lol. It was a late term comforting feeling lol
