Potential Vickers Tactical "Battle Rifle" Class

[aguy09]

I'm interested in a battle rifle course. Sign me up.

Yeah man I would love to attend a training class. It would be my first so not sure if i would qualify if there are pre req's for attending. And I assume an AR would be a suitable battle rifle right?

Only if it is an AR-10 pattern. "Battle rifle" implies 7.62mm NATO or equivalent.

Cool...

Now all we need is to take up a collection for the "Help JW afford a battle rifle so he can take this class" fund.

....Of course I could always show up with my Garand......

Shoot, the gun is the easy part. I'll need to donate a kidney to get some ammo!

The term "battle rifle" usually means a semi-auto rifle of .30 caliber/7.62x51mm and up.

Pea-shooters....err....um......AR15's need not apply.

Think FAL, M14/M1A, etc.

If I had a .308 I'd be in. Anyone want to give me a M1A??

I would probably be in for a 3 day pistol/carbine later this year though.

I'd love to shoot my M1 Garand for a class like this but ammo and 'clips' would likely cost me $1K.

Give? No. Loan? Sure.

Actually, I think a .30-06 Garand might be cheaper to run than a .308 rifle.

No doubt. The Greek HXP from CMP is good stuff.

I see a lot of guys are in the same boat as me. They want to take the battle rifle class but don't have a rifle for it. I see some mad as hell "Better Halfs" in our futures and it don't take a crystal ball to see it.
