Special Forces Worry About M110 Durability

[Alaskapopo]

Dunno, but the SOTIC Committee at Bragg said, "That ain't a sniper rifle," due to the fact it doesn't shoot accurately enough.

The heavy barrel version? That sucks I hoped it would do better.

Lets mark this thread with a sticky so that when every fan boy asks me to "post a link" we can have it readily available. I love the KAC gun, but it seems that some folks want to act like it has never had it's issues. For the price these are commanding in private sector, they should be bullet proof.

I shot one in Afghanistan. It was minute of man accurate out to about 600....

The Mk20?

[steyrman13]

What besides rail and buttstock a is different from the SR-25?
Is the barrel a different material or design?
Why is the SR-25 civy side not seeing the same issues? or are they? I haven't heard of any of them here.
Could this be ammo or maintenance related rather than design or parts issues?

The Mk20?

Is this for me?

I don't know if it was an actual mk20, but it was a SCAR-H with a suppressor. It had a 6x Elcan on top.

Here's a pic of the one I shot:

When M118LR is required to pass lot acceptance under 1 MOA ES, I will be willing to discuss accuracy issues.

Given that the M24 was a 2 MOA (by requirement) gun, and the requirements that the US Army listed for the M110, the gun seems to meet the Army's requirement for "sniper rifle".

I apologize if this comes across as less than jovial, but when a product meets the requirements, beats everything else put up against it, is named one of the best acquisitions in its time period, and has the company's own list of product improvements denied, one should really be asking who failed who here.

The Army got exactly what they asked for.

It sucks when contractors write the requirements document, staff it, then ignore the field's input.

This.

The only thing that makes this really difficult is that the green suitors assigned to wrangle the contract writers aren't working on behalf of the guys who need the gear. They're really trying to suck the buttholes of the guys who are writing the contracts.

Shit maybe I need to go be an acquisitions guy...dive into contracting for Uncle Sam.
