>>64449372Shame old thread got axed so quicklyI need to get new pics and hit up the range again
why was previous thread pruned from the archives?
>>64449372Apparently glass bedding M1As in my area is a lost arcane art. Every gunsmith I've called who advertise bedding say they can do it only for bolt actions and that M1s are too complicated. I guess I'll be getting an EBR chassis instead of a McMillan stock if I replace the wood.
>>64449571U no
>>64449806That is a retarded excuse. There is a great M1A specific tutorial by gunblue490 on youtube though, if you're game for it. I've found synth GI stocks fit well enough you don't really need to do shit to them unless you're chasing sub MOA.
>>64450325Yeah it sounds like bullshit to me. I'll check out the tutorial, the juice might not be worth the squeeze if I have to buy a lot of tools though. My wood stock is already treated with epoxy and bedded, I just don't want to have to worry about babying it for scratches. I like your camouflage btw.

Not page 9 on a Tuesday
Guys, I learned scar is kill last night :( what do I do now with it? Do I sell it and get whatever fn does next at shot show? I love the 17S but I don't want to pay another BR level money for parts that are drying up. I could buy a fal for the price of a bolt and barrel :( it is what it is though I guess. Maybe they'll reveal something better and more aesthetic than the mrgg and licc at shot show so I can cumsoom. I just want parts available so I can take care of my BRs bros. They all deserve virgin components that aren't stripped from a previous rifle.
Hey /brg/, I got a Springfield M1A and six mags in ALICE kit. Shit is cash money, but short of burdening myself in 60rnd 7.62 Bandoliers, what is the most handy way to carry more boolits? Two mag pouches hold 2 mags each, plus one in the rifle and the 6th in a pant pocket; 1 canteen w/ cup and stove, and AMES E-tool. I could drop a pistol pouch and the holster, to add two more mag pouches, but I'm thinking the weight of two bandoliers at 60rnds (120) v four more mags (80) would favor clips. Plus, $49/mag is goofy price. Korean M1 kit because aura
>>64453652Nice Korean war setup. For my M1A I use M1956 kit. I just put the extra rounds, magazines and whatever else is left in the buttpack. When I'm at the range and want more I just load up an ALICE pack
>>64453652Oh for the ALICE rig that you got, are you just standard ALICE M16 mag pouches? I was thinking about making an ALICE set up to mitigate the wear on my M1956.
>>64453580I can trade you a G1 kit, excellent condition, no rcvr for it?
>>64453728I already have a fal platform from DSA so I'll have to pass, I appreciate it tho ma brotha!
>>64453707I would like to find a M67 repro butt pack, the woodland ones are for a different system. It would make the belt heavier, and could inhibit an ALICE pack. >>64453710standard new old stock, 2000s production ALICE pouches They fit 2 standard M1a mags, 3 AR15, a stack of Garand clips, or a family size bag of M&Ms. I recommend using this over M56 because the old canvas wears out, and the ebay chinese movie prop tier repros don't fit.
is the XCR-M really worth the price tag?
>>64453803Cool. I was thinking about switching to ALICE to protect the canvas, wasn't sure about mag pouches until your response.
>>64453917It is to me, but I have no plans to buy one.
>>64454003Bear in mind you will have to cut the webbing dividers, but on most ALICE mag pouches you will encounter those are already missing anyway.
>>64450882>>64450944Anyone know how much it and the vest are worth? I got them both from Kommandostore 9-10 years ago and have literally never worn them. The jacket is worn, some velcro needs new stitching, and there is a soldiers initials and service number on the inside of the top flap. The vest was never issued and has a 1988 date on the tag on the map flap.
>>64454453If I was selling to a friend I'd probably part with it for around 180, but you could probably sell it for 280.
>>64454464>itSo $280 for the jacket or is that for both as a price. Sorry for needing clarification.
>>64454478Sorry by vest did you mean the chest rig? I was referring to the battle jacket only for the 180-280 price. The chest rigs will go for around $75.
Agressive herpes infected monkeys have escaped in my area. wut do?
>>64454795Shouldn't change much in MS desu
>>64454795>mfw frt for PTR91Steel case beware.
>>64454488Yeah I have a pat 83 jacket and chest rig.
>>64449372 Just ordered one of these off apex. Pretty much everything regarding guns has ranged from mid to outright fake and gay with the new administration, but at least we can get kits with intact barrels again. With that in mind, what’s the best kit to larp inna woods with a Cetme?
>>64450924You can get them for stupid cheap at >https://southafricanmilitarysurplus.co.za/products/pat-83-battle-jacket-usedBeats paying like $300 if you're getting it in the states.
How stupid would it be to rice up my PTR to make it look like a PSG1 without going all out and getting a barrel/cocking tube swap on it? Looking at Pic related as inspiration for the build. Priced everything out, and it comes out to around $1200 in parts, and that's not even with a scope since I'm not really sure what kind of scope I'd like to put on it. For reference, I have the claw mount since my rifle doesn't have the pic rail on the receiver itself.
>>64454415I was going through some of my old gear. The LBV-88 integrated with your ALICE belt might be a good option. you can fit 4 M14 mags in it. The single mag pouch will fit one but the double (for M16 mags) is barely two small and will likewise only fit one M14 mag.
>>64456986Having looked at SVDs available on the market this is a cheaper option for a tighter grouping rifle if you want a Cold War DMR gun for your collection.
is MCX SPEAR sig sells to civies and mil the same rifle down to the quality of parts?
>>64458863Wouldn't bet on it, SIG is known for spotty QA to begin with
>>64456986The P(oor)SG1 is a common clone build. Not stupid, but your $1200 estimate would go a long way on a Bergara or Savage MSR10, which isn't what you want. Do the P(sudo)SG1.
/br/o should apply for janny and infiltrate.
>>64459312Too late now
>>64450901kek you guys still do that? God bless you guys.
>>64459337>Too lateNext year we will stack the tranny squad like Trump stacked the SCOTUS.
>>64453580Keep the scar, or trade it for something collectible. A G1 kit is sweet.
>>64453917Yeah they look good
I want to go shooting this weekend but I only have 180 rounds of .308 left. I'm going to start making an ammo bought to saved ratio. I'm thinking I'll start saving 40% of the ammo I buy. Maybe that's too aggressive of a ratio.
>>64461235>saving 40% of the ammo I buyI'm at 100%, sadly. That is going to change ...soon.
>>64461235I only have 120 not including the 100 I'm taking to the range tomorrow, but it's good ammo and I have a few k of 5.56 so I'm not too worried. I'm going to try to keep it 1:1 from here on out.
>>64461235I'm at saving 200% (reloading) currently
Found in "The Closet". A 4 pouch SA or Rhodie chest pouch and a couple spare 30s. The "problem" I found here is finding gear for 30rnd mags. This faithful repro is pretty poor, but true to '50s pattern? I hope to upgrade the back straps and belt with an FHF Airframe harness. Same desire for my FLCs. https://fhfgear.com/products/airframe-harness
I love the unique ones and I've never seen this type up for sale yet. Hammer price estimate a little fuzzy due to that. I'll guess $25k?
>>64462370>guess $25k>This 1943 Ford GPA amphibious vehicle was acquired by the current owner’s spouse in 1958 and underwent over $269k of work as part of a rotisserie refurbishment completed by L’Cars Automotive Specialties of Bruce, Wisconsin, from 2021 to 2022.NM, I'm sure the reserve is far more than $25k.
>>64462385>Meanwhile his son had a cavity he couldn't afford to fix due to crippling monthly student loan bills.
Is Bendy Bill out of his fucking mind?
>>64463753I know, right? How can he sell it if it's out of stock? He's so dumb.
>>64461808Where'd you get it from? I was planning on getting some 30 rounder G3 magazines if I can find them for less than a hundred bucks each.
>>64461235I've got 620 rounds right now, buying in cases of 400-600 when I can, plan on having 3-4k before Democrats get back in power.
>>64464223Quick search reveals: https://www.sarcoinc.com/bren-30rd-308-combat-khaki-south-african-magazine-vest/I may have even bought mine from Sarco. Also in camo: https://www.sarcoinc.com/bren-30rd-308-combat-rhodesian-type-grass-pattern-magazine-vest/
>>64464578Planning on midterms or 2029?
>>64464824I'm gonna be buying before midterms as well but I'm thinking that the NYC mayoral election is gonna go to the race communist and is going to torpedo dems in the midterms
SCARey savings @ PSA. Last chance...
Just ordered 200 rounds of T*rkish M80 ball and 100 rounds of 175gr match ammo.
>>64465366>T*rkish M80 ballMKE? I remember when Wally World was selling that at $5/20 –then $3/20 on clearance.
>>64465408Yeah MKE. Was it any good? When was this? When I got into battle rifles, I remember thinking .40 cpr was good and this was in 2015.
>>64465408Mine has 6.5 stabil powder, lg rifle primers and $99 bucket o 22 so things could be worse
shitty photo pls forgive. I have the stock DSA furniture on my SA58 and want to change it out due to them feeling overall poor quality (seams and vents have sharp edges from the molding). Are belgian/imbel handguards the same feeling, otherwise what alternatives are there?
>>64465852forgot to mention i'd like polymer or similar handguards, will be using wood stock and either wooden or SAW grip
>>64465852Surplus handguards will also have some play in them, but they'll have that nice glossy shine to them that repros can't seem to get.
>>64465852>>64465857If you wanna keep the polymer handguard I'd just file the flash/burs off myself and save money.
Think there will be any deals on ammo for Black Friday this year? Hoping to stock up on some .30-06, 7.62 NATO, and 9x19.
>>64465968>>64465972Thanks anon. DSA ones don't have any play so I'll try and DIY it, otherwise surplus it is
>>64466017I'd recommend PPE as DSA uses glass in their polymer furniture if you're going to sand/polish the stock furniture, just in case.
Boys, I've got a PTR A3S on order and it should show up in the next week or two. Any furniture or other cool shit PTRfags recommend?

>>64466745Link it, brotherman.
>>64465416>Was it any good? It's OK plinking ammo. This is probably the best group I've gotten from it as far as consistency: around 5" at 100 yards from my Israeli Mauser. >When was this? All the stuff I bought had 2014 headstamp dates. It was imported by Zenith Quest International.

FN Surplus or Fiocchi factory new?
>>64467180>>64467108Aaaand it’s $75k.
>>64468682If you're talking about the FN surplus from max arms that stuff is good to go. I ordered 1200 rounds (so far) and it was all wrapped well and came out shiny looking new from the packaging.
>>64469634That's the stuff thanks, wanted to get some while its still sub 70 cpr
Anyone know what the origin of these grey parkerized M1A mags are? Marked with a "P" in a circle, can't find shit on them except they're also for sale on Apexgunparts, they don't seem to be promag. Worked fine in my norinco.
>>64470189Can you show the back of the magazine?
>>64470262Here it is, and the front has only 7 spot welds, and they look more like pegs going through the front overlapping metal.
>>64470313Looks like a checkmate magazine to me. I'm thinking the P is just some sort of proof mark.
FUCK. I fucked up the address for my ammo delivery and I don't think I'm going to be able to get the sender to change it in time. I'm going to have to stake out the address like an autist and catch the truck.
>>64470589Has it shipped?
>>64470595Yeah it shipped today, placed it last night, scheduled to be delivered Monday. Hopefully I can intercept it or fast ammo will put a hold on it quick enough. I doubt they will do it tomorrow.
>>64456986What >>64459065 said. You want x buy x don't worry about y.
>>64462370>>64462385Lol yeah a Ford made amphicar with war history is going to be insanely expensive.>>64462746Lots of people are asset rich cash poor now due to inflation. A $100k a year job a decade ago got you a $350k house that now worth a million in today's dollars. Problem is if you sold it you wouldn't be able to pay taxes on an equivalent house with that same $100k income. Probably only went to $150k in the same time period if that. I'm barely making any more than I did 5 years ago. Probably a quarter less (%) including inflation.
>>64470580That'd be interesting, I pulled out one of my CMI mags to compare (left in pic). I bought these "P" ones at a gunshow still sealed in old cloudy clear plastic with oil, figured maybe they were some weird chinese mag but guides say those were unmarked.
>>64454795Really mean spirited to talk that way about Indian truckers
>>64470661Ok, I finally found an updated pictorial guide, these most closely resemble a KCI mag minus the amount of spot weld dimples at the front (7 versus 10, but exact same look, no weld pool on the front). They work fine and were cheap, so any fellow M1A enjoyers give em a look if you want.
>>64468847>Aaaand$80k aaaand.... 10 days left! Oddly, these "backyard" tanks (and snowcats) go for more than I can keep track of.
>>64470589>poarch pirateLol.
>>64471043Yeah, in a neighborhood I just moved into too. Luckily the "address" is literally just a street crossing without a house thats on the same block as I'm on so it shouldn't look too weird.
>>64461808>Found in "The Closet">It puts the lotion on.
>>64471053So how is the USPS/UPS driver expected to deliver to a lot with no structure/residence? Will you set up a lemonade stand?
>>64471062>Found in "The Closet">>64449372>post woodThere you go.
>>64471076I'm not working so, I'll post out around the time it's expected to arrive, tentatively between 10-2, but hopefully before then I can get in touch with a person to have it put on hold.
I'm really digging the XCR-M, found a used one for a good price and seriously considering it if it's around long enough for me to save up the money. I hear nothing but great things from everyone who owns one, and considering SCAR is kill, not looking like such a bad option afterall.
>>64471656>long enough for me to save up
>PTR charging handle getting harder to run>on inspection the handle’s pin has walked out enough to start gouging the inside of the cocking tube and filling the receiver with metal shavings>newly formed marks inside the tube are also wearing a mark on the bolt carrier’s finish>is completely jammed in the handle support and no amount of hammer+punch can get it outI already put in for an RMA but its very disappointing out of a new gun, not surprised though
>>64472034Unfortunately PTR's quality has tanked, again. At this rate the CA sporters may be equivalent value.
>>64471717>considering payment plansare you legit retarded ? you are going to pay more in the end, might as well save up the cash and buy it when you can.>>64471656i haven't tried the XCR-M, personnaly i have a B&T APC308 and it work like a charm
>>64465852Buy a deburring tool and go to town.
Got the grill paint on my DSA barrel to finally start bubbling this range trip today. I was doing some cqb larp training so rapid fire targets. Its definitely less pretty now but I'm glad that the finish is failing before the internals.
>>64471717Financing any firearm is fucking nuts, don't do this
>>64472923This is one of their GIRK models too which are *supposedly* a little nicer. I understand why DSA gets by with their QC when they have buyers from other countries for servicing older FALs still in use but its completely insane for a company like PTR who makes a relatively niche gun thats $1300-$1800 to think cutting corners like PSA will help
One Herpes monkey down. Two remain on the lose.
>>64472931>are you legit retardedWith gun, you don't need to save.>>64473655Just cover this.
>>64474779>One Herpes monkey downI feel like I lost a brother, yet feel there should.be more of this. I'm so conflicted.
Intercepted the fedex truck with my ammo. Went way smoother than I thought it would, pissed off some boomer for blocking the road for like 30 seconds lol.
I wanted a PTR but the new QC issues are putting me off. Are DSA FALs good to go? Specifically looking at the 16 inch & PARA models.
>>64477638They work just fine, DSA qc can be spotty but they're pretty good about fixing any defects. You'll get better results in a new DSA than a parts kit franken gun honestly, especially for the price. Just make sure you know how an adjustable gas system works and you should be fine.
I want a FAL bros. I hate being a noBR
>>64478248Buy one. I believe in you.
>>64477638>new QC issuesI thought they used to be pretty good, what happened?
>>64478486I think its just the same anon who got a bad one and refused to send it back like we told him too and he's been saying PTR has gone to shit lately for the last 5y
>>64461808>Found in "The Closet"The closet is deep. Praise the closet. 6 pocket replica, way nicer than >xx808.
>>64478833And a Belgian BAR bando. Pretty sure this is a replica, too. Nice for BAR/HCAR 20s, takes 6.
>>64478486I believe 9hole and some gunsmith did a video on it, basically just sloppier QC and shittier manufacturing processes since surp HK parts dried up
>>64479197>>64478486Their tooling (IIRC it was portugese) has worn out so they had to replace a lot of it with new, shittier machines.
>>64479197>>64479210PTR has shifted manufacturing premises like 4 times now, which can’t be good for worker retention.
>>64477394kek, nice>>64477638yea DSA FALs are fine
>>64453580>I don’t think I’ll regret selling a discontinued gun when it becomes a segment on Forgotten WeaponsIf you have a good rifle you might as well keep it

>>64480520>>64480527What's their problem?
Why the fuck does PTR not make a PSG1 clone? Do they hate money?
>>64481197I don't think zoomers care about them and millenials are broke.
>>64481019From the original thread, it seems like it's some 100 IQ jobless sperg that thinks he's the next Terry. He's spamming images of the game he's worked on for a decade that looks like ass compared to Terry's work and thinks a conventional explosion is a nuke because muh mushroom cloud. He's a NEET so he is spending his whole day manually spamming this board.
>>64481197Because that’s a standard they know they can’t meet.
This thing, ye or ney?It will be used as a hunting / basher rifle.
I bought an EBR chassis and a new cantilever mount since my sadlak mount isn't compatible. Its on backorder, so I'm hoping I get it soonish. >>64482486I saw one at my local range, it looked pretty nice but I'm still not sure.

>>64484786Cans can be brighter w nods
What's my best bet for a chrome lined AR10 upper? Seems harder to come by than I expected.
>>64485149The deer don't have nods and if its 2 legged game you're schizoing about good luck with mass produced thermals.
>>64485355I don't think people care as much about chrome with .308, 20k rounds is a whole lot of rounds and most people seem to go for precision so that means $$$ not just your average m80.
>>64486100>with .308I should clarify, this is ar10s only. Not other brs.
>>64486100>>64486104Makes sense. I don't know if it's explicitly necessary, I just tend to try to maximize longevity & reliability so that's what I've been looking for. It's a lot harder than I would've expected to find a chrome lined .308 with decent magazine availability. Barring the XCR-M, I suppose.
My apartment got broken into, and renters insurance didn't cover the PTR, I get to start over again. Real demoralizing.
>>64486470Sorry to hear that man, I hope whoever stole it ends up on a shitty T-shirt before long
>>64486470For an apartment to get broken into that seems pretty targeted. Most renters have jack shit worth taking. Can you tell me more about what insurance said? How can they not cover that? Every policy I had claimed $100k does that somehow exclude guns?
>>64486532It was a plan the complex mandated for everyone, and I didn't realize it just covered damage to the property. My own stupid fault. And yeah, I don't really have much else of value. I'm guessing whoever it was saw me coming back from the range or something.
>>64486470It is a violation and real loss. You have my sympathy.
>>64486565>plan the complex mandatedAlso called extortion in the fine print.
>>64486565Oof yeah sorry, I had one of those too and it wasn't clear what that covered. When I moved in you had to have a policy but then after a few years they added that and you still had to have your own. That fucking sucks. You need to get out of there asap.

Went to a gun show a week or two ago. only about half filled with tables and none of the typical boomer secondary sellers. Why are things so bleak that even the boomers are showing up to sell at gun shows?
>>64493014>none of the typical boomer secondary sellers. Why are things so bleak that even the boomers are showing upAren't?
>>64493014Boomers are dying off. No ones buying guns at gun shows anymore for good reason too. Gun shops are also poaching boomer hoards now instead of letting estate sale agencies handle it.

>>64497960I like it, but there goes the accuracy.

>>64498891Yeah, I want to test it with it at least once before I get my EBR chassis. I saw an interesting post on the M14 forum where when properly installed, the M2 bipod can increase accuracy.
>>64501051>the M2 bipod can increase accuracy.I speculate that the bipod will ruin barrel harmonics, as has been well established. But _will_ increase shooter proficiency by creating a more stable hold than offhand, kneeling, squatting or even prone. You should see scores come up with a bipod over these positions, but it will also degrade accuracy. Also, looks great and I have been wanting.>6-7, hands weighing motion
>>64501156>ruin barrel harmonicsDumb question, but that would only be temporary right, like as in when it's installed?
>>64501174Yes
>>64501174Temporary for internal balistics. Once the bullet exits the muzzle, external balistics are factored; wind, drop, stability. Upon reaching the target (nonpaper, lol) terminal balistics are considered, penitraltion, expansion, shockwave. Permanently affects internal balistics (barrel harmonics) until dismounted. Again, typically overshadowed by the increase in platform stability.
>>64501179Or this.
>>64501179>>64501198>>64501201Thank you. I am a solid 48 hours without any meaningful sleep, so I'm a bit more retarded than usual.
>>64471656I have an XCR-L and have nothing but good things to say about it. They're the rifles that always should've been what was adopted.
>>64494873If only.
I already know the answer is "of course not, you idiot" but I still kind of want to do it. As far as I can tell, the receiver, barrel and assembling are all done by PTR with what's likely surplus Portuguese kits. I don't care that it looks like a hunk of shit, G3s are ghetto 3rd world rifles anyway, but it's just such a crapshoot. I have no idea what I'm going to get.
anyone have experience with the older (((sig))) 716 (not the 716i) or Ruger sr 762 models? i like the look of them but not sure if they're any good as most of the discussion of them online is fudd shit
>>64501294At that cost you could do a best of 2 and probably have a better result than a PTR
>>64499457/brg/ is just /k/ mid life crisis: the general
>>64501294I got one and I'm gonna swap out the spring and charging handle when it gets in because those 2 things are apparently the shitty parts that break first. The barrels are also apparently a luck of the draw with some of them being super accurate and others are unable to hit paper at like 30 yards.
>>64501924I'll get back to you after I wash my "starter Vette".

>>64502644>>64502659No idea but bump for the answer hopefully, wtf are those?
>>64502807Looks like a stoner 63 to me but that would be incredibly unusual.
>>64502889Cadillac gauge started making them during 64 in warren, which is only 20 miles or so from detroit, so it's a reasonable possibility

Got 200 rounds of MEN surplus 7.62 NATO for $100 at a gun show today, not a bad show for once.
>>64449372Take this bump to protect you from the schizo spam.
>>64503364I see purple. Not even mad.
>>64503221>Got 200 rounds of MEN surplus 7.62 NATO for $100 at a gun show today, not a bad show for once.I shot the last of my MEN last weekend. Probably the most consistent ammo I've ever put through my PTR91.
>>64501294I love mine. Straight sights and good finish. Only problem is shitty ptr charging handle.

I'm about to give up and put this STANAG up for sale, does absolutely anyone have rings that fit the fucker or a hensoldt for not stupid money? I've exhausted every option thus far (emailing machinists, emailed ARMS, checked gunbroker, ebay, armslist, tgt, etcetera). I have these old 1 inch Sako optilok rings that came off a claw mount but they're too fat, and I don't want to drill the mount bigger and bugger the holes.
>>64514385What is the A.R.M.S. #?
>>64514456They are #21, been OOS since maybe January or earlier.
>>64514491>OOSYes, I spent some time last night and you are right. Checking again this morning, found this at $29/ea: https://www.armorypartspro.com/product/a-r-m-s-21-stanag-30mm-scope-rings/Wouldn't process my card, probably due to my billing addy =pob. Seen it before, but tried it for the price. Sometimes a fresh day makes all the difference.
Evenin gents. Got another wall certification, 2 raises this month.
I was thinking of putting a TA-11 ACOG on my PTR-91. I know people recommend LVPOs like its gospel, but I want a fixed power optic that Just Werks™. Does anyone here have experience with such a setup?
>>64517511Get a TA33 instead it has 2x the eye relief and you won't notice the mag difference.
>>64517511>Does anyone here have experience with such a setup?Yes.>>64518089The TA11 has plenty of eye relief for a PTR91.
>>64515904You feel like that might be scammy/like RKS where they list things in stock but make you wait for over half a year or more to get it cause it's not? I'm hesitant.
>>64518204>The TA11 has plenty of eye relief for a PTR91.Seconded. I have a TA11 on a SCAR 17 and eye relief is completely fine.
>>64518235>You feel like that might beYes, card hacked within hrs. Fortunately, Dean Wormer has my fraud protection set to double secret probation and all fraudulent charges were denied instantly and I was alwrted in seconds. I'll try to delete post, but never have much luck with that.
>>64518476>never have much luck with that.So typical.
>>64518089>>64518204>>64518250Thanks anons, I think I'll go with the TA-11. The 33 seems like it has some QC issues anyways after a bit of research.
Finished getting the last of the spare parts I needed for my SCAR 17. Now all I need is a spare barrel assembly to be extra safe and some more magazines once the panic buying is done. Yeah buddy
>>64517511Can’t speak for the PTR, but the TA-11 was sublime on my FAL >>64499162
How bad does the tavor 7 suck?
>>64518476I called ARMS (again) about it and got an answer finally. They are indeed still going to make them, when they go back in stock is a mystery.
>>64520255I'd prolly be in for.a 30mm pair.
is it worth it? I know all about century's reputation for QC but that price is hard to argue with
>>64520521Cheapest BR on the market, right now. Outside of BCA.
>>64520206its ok
>>64520521Love mine. Shoots decently smooth. Only issue is it needed a new charging handle and charging handle support to make cocking smooth.
>>64521410What are the actual bad points other than its origin country?
>>64520521>I know all about century's reputation for QC but that price is hard to argue withIt's built by PTR, whose current QC is pretty mediocre even on their own products. I don't think you'll be worse off going with the CA3 over a PTR91.
>>64520521I don't have a G3 yet, I'm tempted at such a price since I paid almost 3 times for my DSA.
>>64523804>I don't have a G3 yetAnd you won't. It will be "G3 like". Different mags, at very least.
>>64525066>Different mags, at very least.The CA-3 uses G3 mags, Anon.
Pg9 rainy Sunday morning bump.
>>64527087o7
>>64527087Finally got to shoooootNow my guns are all wet. Time for coooom
I take back thinking STG-58 handguards are cool. They got way hotter than I thought. Yes indeed I am retarded.
>>64529291>note to self >metal gets hot
>>64529291How many rounds? I think Im fiberglasspilled on handguards because they're the only ones that are okay to handle when the barrel is cooking from my experience.
My chassis arrives tomorrow. I can't wait.
I'm going to buy a Jakl in .308. I know about the QC risk with PSA, but I want a BR and I dont really want my first one to be surplus or just another AR. Should I get the 14.5 or 16in?
>>64530493I wouldn't go shorter than 16, good luck.
>>64530493I had a 5.56 JAKL, it didn't give me any problems, but I'm not keen on the use of screws to hold everything together, keep an eye on those. Also most of our BRs aren't true surplus rifles, they're just military designs to keep that in mind.
>>64530501>hey're just military designs to keep that in mind.kinda what I meant. I dont want to buy a new-build FAL or G3 as my first one.
>>645301622-3 mags, too hot to hold for me after that. What did Austria mean by this? I already put my fiberglass IMBEL guard on, I've even added a ghetto heatshield using metal ductwork tape that works alright.
>>64531368Ouch, that's about as bad as my WASR. Something tells me people either never got to do actual intense shooting drills or they were just told to wear gloves.
>>64530501>Also most of our BRs aren't true surplus riflesAll mine are semi auto clones.
>>64532315One of mine is real.Never got an M1 b4 grampa died so he could shoot at racist japanese caricature targets one last time :(
>>64532315To be fair a lot of G3s/FALs got converted to semi auto in their later years of common usage.
>>64534630>One of mine is real>>64534682>To be fairPerhaps I wasn't fair to myself, or my Korean war era, International Harvester M1. It is as real as the get. The stock even has a cigarette burn in it.>inb4 smokers are filthyI know.
>>64534955It was even used by MPs to put down Yuromutts (probably)
Da Claw(esque) mount, from our friends at RTG.
>>64535541Are these stable or are the two points of contact not enough?
>>64535885My JLD91 had an MTI adapter mount before I got Da Claw. It had 2 point contact with a "diving board" type cantilever Weaver mount that seemed fine, before my upgrade. For the weight of an RDS, it should be fine?
That was a pain in the ass to install, but now I am ready for Operation Metro 24/7 1200 tickets fast spawn.
>>64453917they are obnoxiously front heavy
I Just bought a CA-3. I haven't owned a BR since I sold my chink M1A. Fingers crossed I don't get a lemon. Either way I think I'll refurbish wood furniture for it.
>>64535957Is it as heavy as people say?
>>64536202It is heavier than my wood stock for sure, the balance shift wasn't as severe as I thought. I thought balance wise it would be comparable to my suppressed M4gery, its not quite on that level. For some reason installing the chassis made my trigger take up tighter, I'm going to have to retorque all of the screws once I get the heads I need for my torque wrench, hopefully that solves it.
>>64536202i wanted to mess with an lpvo, came out to 14 pounds unloaded
>AR-10 (Ruger or S&W)>FAL or FAL Clone>M1AIf these are generally what's available in my area and they are within a couple hundred bucks of each other, what would be best go go for? My heart says a FAL/FAL Clone, but an AR-10 seems like the practical bet. I don't see the brands generally in stock in my area recommended in the usual online memelists though.
>>64537110What's your use case?
>>64536974When you installed your chassis did you find that your trigger pull felt different? Mine feels stiffer, not sure if its the change of tolerances, or just the change of motion going from a traditional stock to a pistol grip. I already ordered a trigger shoe which will hopefully remedy it.
>>64537118Fun first and foremost, filling the niche of a higher caliber battle rifle I guess. If there isn't really a clear use case besides "I want one", that might be a sign that it's a waste of money right now.
>>64537173Then I'd buy the one you think looks the coolest.
>>64537155trigger pull was the same, maybe take the receiver out of the chassis and just attach the trigger group to see if its still an issue
>>64537190Yeah gonna give that a try, I also need to retorque everything today, the hex heads I needed haven't arrived yet so I think that will help. It seems to be getting smoother the more I cycle and dry fire
Been awhile, hoping you're all doin ok. Got myself a lighter can to keep the rear balance of my RFB, so far its been great.
>>64537805Gonna show my friend my FAL I've put about 500 rounds through so far, if I can get him into Battle rifles he's gonna get a G3, likely a Century because of the price.
Think one of these things can accept a collapsable stock?
>>64449372Is it as stupidly front heavy as it looks?
>>64538244svt40? no
>>64538238Yes. But those are pretty uncomfortable desu. They do look really cool though.
>>64538250>>64538244 was meant for >>64536974. Oops
>>64538465m14ebr? no
This is a battle rifle. A SCAR I would unironically own. Oh, except for the price. And the poor color match. Were they even trying?
>>64538387That and the handguards you can put on emhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/sTqq8BH_U-c
>>64538894>I would buy this except that I wouldn't buy thisok, and?
>>64538536I don't have any evidence or experience, but I just don't believe you desu.
>>64539401its rear heavy but still weighs a shitload for what it is
>>64520521I bought 3 of these things and the bolt gap is .016" on all of them, pretty decent if you ask me.
>>64539397Jez sayin'.
>>64538894They were up until recently 3200-3400 and had been for years. We're getting a new SCAR though and fingers crossed because its more of an AR looking thing its not going to be 3000 dollars for plastic.
>>64539668>rear heavyStop lying.
>>64538238Collapsible G3 stocks are actually bad.
>>64449372gm
>>64540251Nice.
>>64540172i know what front heavy is and the ebr definitely isnt. while holding it up by the handguard it tilts backwards easily
>>64540175Elaborate
>>64540468NTA but I also didn't think it was too bad, it worked decently with the aimpoint, but would have been undesirable with irons or a scope that required any amount of eye relief. On the other hand, I paid around $450 for it ca 2020, at least they're cheaper now with the MKE ones being on the market.
>>64540475Crap, and I was gonna run it with just irons
>>64540578Its not like its unbearable. I'd say its comparable to an AK with a Romanian/E. German wire folder or an underfolder. I just thought with the Aimpoint on a standard mount it was like any other dot with a riser. If I had NVGs at the time, I'd recon it would make for a good passive aiming gun.
>>64540297>while holding it up by the handguardYou don't know what front heavy means. No shit if you hold something in front of its center of gravity, it will tilt back.
>>64540678...so front heavy to you means something other than being heavier in the front than in the rear
>>64540728If you hold anything far in front of it's center of gravity, it will want to tip backwards. A gun being front heavy means that its center of gravity farther forward than what would be comfortable. If you don't speak english well, then stop talking.In anycase, I've looked it up and yes, the ebr is famously retardedly front heavy. Literally all people say about it is that it's overly heavy, stupidly front heavy, and cool looking.
>>64541089and yet its still rear heavy at the exact center where you wouldnt even be holding it since thats where the magazine goes
I'd say the CG on the EBR is like 2/3rds the way down it, maybe a few inches from the magazine.
>>64540678>>64541089You're arguing with an ESL chimpanzee who's never even heard of gravity, let alone CoG. Stop wasting your time.
>>64541089>Literally all peopleLiterally literally or literally subjectively?
Where is she? Where is mu topless milktruck?
>>64541780Is it already time, Mr Freeman?
>>64541487the center of gravity on an ebr is the magazine well. anyone saying its front heavy is probably running a bipod which shouldnt count
>>64541801Wake up and smell the ashes
>>64542271Now that's a milktruck.
We're gonna need a new thread
