Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

If there is a French expert here please let me know what I have bought from Gun Broker. I just got this auction but was not at all expecting to. It is a matching rifle so thats why I bid on it. Any info would be great, I have been watching these and they seem to sell much higher which is the real reason I'm surprised I got it.

Tim the Mle16 uses a 5 round Mannlicher type clip,the bottom of the mag is a hinged cover. I've been told you can use the 5 round in a 3 round magazine by only loading the 3 in it.At least the 5 round ones can be had-I've never even seen a 3 rounder.-TR

You know I took that rifle out the other day. I only had a single 5 round clip. I loaded the clip worked the bolt, pulled the decent trigger and Bang my shoulder fell off and I only have one good arm. Boy that thing has a kick! And my buddy after the first 3 shots refused to shoot it, so I had to forced my self to finish the remaining 2 rounds with a sand bag against my shoulder!!!
