The SEALs and the T223

[Talyn]

When it comes to SEALs in Vietnam, there didn’t seem to be many, if any, rules—at least when it came to their firearms. They were new and were willing to try a lot of guns in Vietnam. one of which was known as the T223.

The SEALs and the T223

Did you know the SEALs took an HK designed, H&R produced 5.56 roller delayed blowback rifle called the T223 to Vietnam? You bet they did!

My HK93’s are capable of decent—for a service rifle—accuracy. With good ammo, and I’m on my game, one of them will do a 2” group at 100 yards, which is rack-grade AR comparable.

But, if you want to get a roller-delayed rifle really accurate, you need to look into the modifications that were made to the PSG1, or the later SR9TC.

To the best of my knowledge, HK never made these modifications to a 556 model…at least not any that became available to the public.

RUDY, omg what a hoot he was. He made Survivor actually worth watching, never watched another season after he left. God he made me laugh, and was tough as nails still at his age of 72.

I would add a couple quotes but they would probably get me excommunicated.
