Pull in with a brand-new Ferrari and park it between your Vette and my Buick. and we'd be totally ignored! Pull out your "old iron"....I'll be there with my RPA Palma rifle....guess what most people are going to want to look at! "New" and "interesting" aren't mutually exclusive!

Why would I clean a rifle at the range? Stupid question.I guess you were not trained proberly

You've never met my father or grandfather, so you have little basis for your attempted insults.

How many have gone home and do not clean their rifle till the next day or forget until the next shooting match.I've seen it many times.
NEVER by me! You clean firearms in a CONTROLLED environment whenever possible. That way you do an effective, thorough job without b!tching anything up, losing parts, or accumulating dirt and grit in things you are trying to get clean. Like I said the first time, cleaning at the range if you have alternatives is like washing your clothes in a cesspool!

And as far as the old M16icon being different than the new breed. What's the difference? A new barrel, different sights and different handguard. Everything else is still interchangeable
Different upper receiver, TOTALLY different trigger....yep, other than the barrel, receiver, trigger, most of the stock, and sights....they's 'zactly the same!
