Really?

watching an episode of Alaska state troopers. And the trooper says "he has an M-16 assault rifle."

Really? You think a poor native living in barely more than a shanty has an "M-16"?

Priorities, the shanty owner has them.

Obviously you have been missing out on what our compadres to the south own.

Hey... At least the term "assault rifle" would apply if the guy did have an M16.

If he bought it in the 70's or early 80's he could easily own one. Before 86' full autos didn’t command the kind of premiums they do now and I’ve read stories from some long time owners that during the 70’s there were times when they were cheaper than semis.

Recently though things have gotten out of hand :) http://www.machinegunpriceguide.com/...hine_guns.html

Disregard, I can't read.

Maybe I was the last to learn that there was a time when a transferable M-16 could be bought for less than a semi AR.

But hey I was also surprise that RDIASs have gone up 120x in that same timeframe.

We just got 40 M16 rifles from the Army. They are outstanding. In Alaska the State Trooper is GOD. Doesnt matter which god you like. They are it. Wish I wah younger I would move to Alaska.

I wish I had an M16
