Depends on who you plan on fighting.

DPCU may trick a few sand niggers from seeing them, but it'll stand out like fuck with NV.

Usually first world countries treat their patterns with an IR solution to prevent them from showing up on NV at all.

I'm still a fan of CADPAT for operations anywhere with green:


The appropriate A-TACS work really well in their respective enviroments as well:

CADPAT rules, it'd stick out real bad here though. Too dark. And too green. Green is an alien concept here.

That CADPAT is awesome

The others are kind of meh, but the CADPAT would be perfect for Oregon/Washington/Canada

CAMOUFLAGE IS FOR BOURGEOIS PIGS



Ushanka is somewhere between '44-'46, so basically WWII. Telogreika is late 60s pants, early 70s jacket (so not a shirt-collar WWII one). Boots are just dad's wellies. It was actually cold enough to justify dressing up, and holy fuck was I warm.

Yeah, shit stance. I know. I went out to rip a couple rounds into the hill before it started raining again. My last two shooting trips have been fucked over by weather.

I still need to get an Ushanka or have some Soviet style gear for kicks.

Guy on Gunboards blew $2,400 on building an M14 EBR from a Springfield M1A, with his reasoning being "PSLs are crap". He shot 1.5MOA with surplus... so for all that money he got the same accuracy he would from a "crap" PSL that costs about a third as much as his humped M1A. Good work, duder! The best part was when an actual designated marksman came in and owned him:

+1 I Much prefer the PSL having used both rifle's and seeing them both in combat (using one and being shot at with the other)!

Meatmissle carried the same rifle in Iraq. Yes I was hitting consistant targets with it however the stock is crap! The rifle is to front heavy and not well balanced! If your not careful with it the stock adjustor can come loose and the entire adjustable stock assembly will sit at an angle. Besides have you tried to break down the rifle to clean it or perform user maintanence on it. I hated and so did the other designated marksman in the unit having to take the forend apart to just to clean the rifle. The screws for the stock are easy to strip and thats why we went back to the wood stocks the rifles originally came with!

IMHO even the Plastic Stocks for the M14's are a better choice! Hey but what do I know, try humping that thing up and down hills over walls up and down stairs with a full combat load and tell me what you think then. I could carry the PSL all day and get the same results in performance!

Also I am totally in agreeance with that, fuck Sage stocks. They are overrated and pretty much pointless, are much easier to fuck up than a solid stock, and are gross looking to boot. Yet another piece of tactical fluff people blow retarded amounts of money on for zero performance gain.

You know the guys at Ironworks Design have PSL stocks so you dont have to use the thumb hole stocks any more ha.

And I ever come across a MAK-90 and buy it for a good price I'll be replacing the thumb hole stock, urgh hate it, love a pistol grip feel. I'm going to start getting in the AK market soon, I'll stray from the Mosin Nagants for now unless if I see something of interest for cheap.

The point isn't to use the surplus ammo though. The point is to use match ammo. I agree that its not the best combat weapon, but they are fucking awesome, and I have seen incredible groups with US military match ammo.

Not everything has to be functional. An AR-10 is a clearly superior weapon, but the M1A is a very fun toy.

Yeah, but if it runs 1.5 with NATO surplus and a PSL runs 1.5 with WP surplus... I don't see what the point of blowing all that money was. Your average 91/30 sniper will shoot just over or at MOA with the right surplus, and under with good match, hunting, or handloaded ammo anyway, so I dunno... for the price he paid I'd want to be shooting sub minute-of-penny.

Never seen a 91 run 1 MOA with any ammo.

Seen plenty of M1A run .5 with a good scope and brand new Federal FMJ (not crappy NATO spec, talking fancy here).
