| does Dillon make one? |

Quoted:
I just read an article in the new G&A, that the GOV wants round counters on their new M4's. They could have made them to try and win that contract? BlueNuts this is not at you but at what a stupid idea it is to put a round counter on a rifle. I mean come on, talk about wasting money. What would a soldier need that for, to go in the middle of a firefight, "OMG I JUST SHOT 500 ROUNDS!!!!" End of rant. Scott |

Dillon used to make them, they go for pretty decent price on used market, $40+. I still have mine I used just for 9mm. My goal in life was to get it to 99999 and watch it roll over to 00000 but somewhere along the way in the 29000 range I accidentally reset the thing :-( |
