    Maybe he was using an 03a3. He could have been the Barney Fife of his unit.

    Is he also one of those types who thinks that calling the 5.56 round a tumbler round means it goes end over end in the air? I knew a few people in the Army that thought that's what it meant.

    When we were cleaning our M1 Garands, NO ONE ever mentioned for us to take it easy with the steel cleaning rods so they don't "bugger UP" the muzzle by letting the rod press heavily against the bore. None of us young recruits seemed to give a shit about the integrity of the bores.

    I've had people in the Army tell me with a straight face that "The Soviets have an advantage over us because their guns can shoot our rounds but our guns can't shoot theirs."

    Ahh, you guys are great!!!! I'm somewhat new(3 years but non-military)) to shooting, I just didn't want to tell him he was full of shit about the "one rifling groove" in the barrels of his rifle when he was in service, without having served, and being new to shooting. It just seemed to be really against everything I have learned these past three years about firearms, that's why I asked. I just wanted to make sure he was out in left field. The bouncing bullet around in the barrel was just dumb. But he was telling me how ALL military barrels only had ONE groove. He swears by it. It's not like he's doing a false valor thing, I know he was in service(82nd Airborn, he says), he has pictures of himself in Kuwait with desert shots and other service guys there too. Where do these guys get this weirdness from?

    Place a bet with him, for as much money as he's willing to lay down, that he cannot get his hands on and show you a gun with one groove. Heck, I'm fairly certain no production gun was ever manufactured with a single groove barrel. At the least, it would cause an imbalance in the projectile and be wildly inaccurate.
    This guy requires public humiliation. Sometimes it's the only way.

    One groove barrel is unpossible.

    I thank him for his service, but he musta took a shot to the brainpan. Probably a fist for saying something stupid.
