So, are these now "uber-crickets" we are hearing?
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

I have never seen where the US military has ever bought the AR-7 in any numbers. I believe some of the early Armalite AR-7's were bought and tested, but I'm not aware of either ever being adopted. I have never seen one stamped US Property. The M4 and M6 were both bought and used in far greater numbers than the AR-5. I have never seen an AR-5 in civilian hands, which makes me think there weren't many produced. As slick as the AR-7's are, they were never bought by the US Military.
Specifically Survival Arms is two companies removed from the timeframe that the AR-7 was evaluated. So it's a commercial product, that was sold commercially and it was never used by the military.

Where'd Safariman go? Ironbender asks a few questions and "poof", eh? In all honesty, they were not difficult questions, just related to information that was promised several times by Mr. Claiborne about the ill-fated PAC elephant and buffler hunt.

Good questions, and as you say, he DID promise to report back on that thread and never did. I'd like to know what the outcome eventually was, as well.

I do not have high hopes for honest answers.
YMMV.

I've figured about the best way to tell Mark is going to start a new con is that he starts the thread "hey friends", or I rarely ask for prayers

Specifically Survival Arms is two companies removed from the timeframe that the AR-7 was evaluated. So it's a commercial product, that was sold commercially and it was never used by the military. Thanks, some references said that the USAF used them for a significant time, others do not. Most probable that this one was and is strictly a civilian piece. As to the rest of the crap, I announced several pages ago that I would not reply to posts that were about anything other than the gun. One last time, and I did state this before in this thread, The Cape Buf hunt went great, the Elephant hunt did not go as well even though everyone got an Elephant. FWIW I was not on that hunt/trip. DeFlave, the rifle is still shooting terrific. No more work needs to be done to it and I am pretty satisfied that this one is not MilSurp or have any Military connections. Fine with me as it is (now) a fun and useful little gun. Info or queries relating to the AR-7 will be replied to, hijacking posts about anything else, not so much.

Holy crap! Did you READ the thread that was linked about the trouble you gave a couple 'Fire members? How they nearly didn't even get to BE in the clusterF you arranged? (That might have been a blessing to not go). You stated in that report thread that you were waiting on reports from the next group. You NEVER followed up in that thread as you PROMISED several times. Clearly your ideas of "great" and "promise" are different than that of an honest man. You sir, are full of shiit.

He's a lot dirtier and a LOT more insidious as simply being some random washed-up member with delusions of grandeur that's pathetically FOS. Virtually every single word that comes out of him is centered around some Mickey Mouse hustle or another he's got running in his head. I give more credit to the cats on the street running a game of Three Card Monte. Credit where it's due, man.
