    I wished I had that Sako, kind of my Holy Grail Kalashnikov variant.

    Beretta will be happy to provide you with a modern battle rifle (for a modest fee, of course):

    Yes.
    With an unchangeable A2 pistol grip, a long hot exposed barrel, 1950's era sling attachments, non standard sights, and vertical dimensions interfering with common magazine standards.

    The stuff they do to guarantee they fail as a mainstream, popular option pains me.

    I got out in '76. Still whining.

    I wasn't even a Marine (I was a corpsman), and I wholeheartedly agree.

    My first K-pot was an XL and I had to wear a watch cap or boonie under it just so it wouldn't keep falling off my head.

    Hey, the Argentine military has embraced it (although that's probably not saying much)
