>>64935682Oh new thread
>>64935682Finally I can relax
>>64935682Comfort thread is up, time to post muh 14. I promise I'll post groups eventually
Is buying an FAL the most confusing/difficult thing a gun owner can do? >Boomers buying every kit that drops >Kits may or may not be shit, and if they aren't, they all are missing the hardest to source component: the receiver>Literally one (1) FAL receiver is viewed as being any good in its entire history >Gunboomer sellers lie about what their supposed Imbel rifles actually are>Imbel owners willing to sell are few and far between, and all of them know their gun commands a big premium >Kit builds are actually more expensive than just buying one that isn't >Magazines are horribly expensive and hard to source, and there are like eighty different kinds, and whether or not they are metric is important>Zero options to put modern optics on them without having a rail welded to the top >Expensive in all cases, including the guns who have a reputation for being shit for some reasonFuck this.
>>64937097thats just standard gun show boomer trickery. AR10s are almost as bad desu.
Do chrome-lined .260 Remington barrels exist?
>>64937097I made the two in >>64936786 from just parts, not even incomplete kits, I bought at good prices. The 12 inch SBR is on a cast and the long boy on a forged, they both work, the cast isn't some pariah like boomers make it out to be. Keepshooting has good metric mags for $35, but of course they go oos fast. Also, who the fuck is welding rails to FALs? That's G3s.
>>64937476>Also, who the fuck is welding rails to FALs? That's G3s.There is am Imbel on Gunbroker right now with one.
>>64937111>AR10s are almost as badI don't see how, unless you're trying to spend as much money on one as you might an objectively better gun like the MARS. There are perfectly good, budget AR-10s just like there are perfectly good, budget AR-15s. Plenty of people on this board will literally tell you that there's nothing wrong with buying a $500 AR and calling it a day once you put a red dot on there and maybe change the trigger.
>>6493748099% of people use the DSA cover, and 1% use the STANAG mount if truly autistic.
>>64937097Most parts and mags you will find are 'metric'. It is super easy to tell the difference between an 'inch' mag and a 'metric' mag, literally just google it. Learn how to look through photos on auctions. Seems fishy they don't have more photos? Ask. They don't provide more photos? Don't bid. Finally if you are having these types of questions/concerns you are in no way shape or form ready to actually build a FAL. Buy a DSA and call it a day.
>>64936952The Scout series is fucking kino.
>>64936241Wtf. Yeti, is that you?
>>64938248>Buy a DSA and call it a day.Pretty much this.

>03-08-26/brg/ bros, .308 day is coming up!
>>64939856Hopefully I'll have my new stock installed by then.
>>64939956What handguard is that on the G3 clone?
>>64940048AC Unity G3 Handguard. Looks like they're on sale at Atlantic if you wanna cop one.
>>64939653t. Knower
>>64940106>anons just casually using a viking as target practice It feels nice not to be among the poors honestly
>>64940140Yeah she was an '00 and I was tired of the yearly $900 tune ups so got a new (open box) one
>>64940187>paying for a beer and beef cooler when you can just stick shit in the snow/brg/ is the epitome of opulence.
>>64939593Is Saltech worth picking up?
>>64940082Thanks, maybe when I get my PTR in a month or sot. aspiring /BRG/ member
When i shoot the AR15 i kinda miss the feel of recoil you get with 308 ;_; Man, gun limitations sucks hard. Heaviest pill i can shoot is 77gr, that shit is too expensiv so Lube stays with 62 and sometimes 68gr HPBT
>>64940767I have never had any problems with it.
>>64935682What do you guys think ? I'm adding an angled foregrip here soon
>>64940767>Is Saltech worth picking up?It is to me. At 85.6cpr/inc tax, free sh I'll lay in a case. It's the free shipping that drives my pre-midterms impulse. As uncle Burt says, better to have it and not need it.
>>64940777Aim high, youngling.
>>64940767Someday, there will be a drop-in super safety for the PRT91 and you will need all that ammo you've been stacking.
>>64936952That thermal shift is a bitch, was basically chasing zero the whole time. Oof
>>64940767Absolutely >>64940777May wanna get an older used one. I got mine about 10 years ago and love it, but I've heard the qc is trash as of late
AsukaGods. Is it over? Did we just win forever?
>>64941750What's being depicted there is one amongst a myriad of realities that were consolidated to the Rebuild timeline.
>>64939593SG has an ever so slightly better deal going if you buy 1,000 rounds. It's literally just five dollars in terms of difference (if you bought 1k rounds from Black Basin), but the point is that it's still /a/ difference. Black Basin's pricing is a temporary sale (it ends in about 5.5 hours). I am mentioning this to those who miss out and still want reasonably priced Saltech @ .77cpr w/ free shipping.
And we're back
Want to get back out there but I'm sick
I need some help /brg/. I fairly recently inhereted a FAL from my grandfather and took it to the range for the first time today. It's shooting 2-3 inches left and I've run out of windage adjustment on the rear sight.as far as I can tell the front sight is not canted and the barrel *looks* straight. Can anyone give me some causes / fixes? Thanks.
>>64943828bent barrel?
>>64941862The way those cases are ejecting they have the rifle comically under gassed.
Forgive me for posting this here but I checked the catalogue and found no other thread came as close, and my question doesn't really warrant making one just for my question.I'm modeling an M82 for fun and wanted to ask if you see anything particularly off about it? I'm not going for super realism, it's a bit on the low poly side so it's meant to be a bit simplified compared to the real thing, I'd just like to nail the "essence" of the gun if that makes sense.Is the scope too big? The barrel is on the short side because I like the more compact look of it but I imagine it'd be miserable shooting this irl
>>64943853Side view
>>64943838Not out of the question at all, if so it's subtle.
>>64943857I don't see anything that is heinously wrong. The front bit of the muzzle break looks too long
>>64943843>comically under gassedMany such cases, what's even the point of a .308 gun if you're too scared to dial up the gas regulator
>>64943828If it's a parts kit, it could be tolerances stacking enough to throw POA off that far from POI
>>64944182Fairly sure it is a parts kit, but all the serials match. If so would changing the receiver be a possible solution?
>>64944207Any manufacturer marks?
>>64944245I cant find a single proof mark anywhere but the receiver is Entreprise Arms
>>64944182it could be straight but where the sights connect to the gun isnt
>>64937097And it's absolute pottery that the same boomers that won't sell off collections at fair prices to private buyers (in a Republican recession) will soon die off and all there stuff is going to be offloaded on FFLs for pennies on the dollar if not outright destroyed at gun buybacks
>>64939398If your going to paying current msrp for DShitA you may as well save a little more and get a Robinson XCR-M. At least those take AR10 mags and basically are an evolved FAL-K2-AK hybrid. For whatever reason No Leo or Gov has ever bought any, ever. Maybe just maybe that means the company actually doesn't engage in corruption
>>64944462>may as well save a little more and get a Robinson XCR-MThis has a valid perspective.>maybe that means the company actually doesn't engage in corruptionWhy are you so consistently based? Personally, I feel the US.gov is still persecuting the Mormons for the 1857-1858 Utah War ("Buchanan's Blunder").
>>64943891Understood, thank you kindly for the input anon, 'preciate it
>Saltech packages their ammo so they tear open along the mountain range printed on themHoly based. I love great design so much. >>64944462Can't you buy a DSA for 40-50% less, moreso if you are buying used. At a minimum, the XCR-M starts at 2,700, right? With those sorts of margins, you're better off saving up even more and buying an LMT, no?
>>64944462Yeah might be a good idea if you have an extra $1,295 burning a hole in your pocket, but I built my Imbel FAL on a forged receiver for $1,400 and shit works just fine, still prefer my PTR 91 though.
>>64944462>>64946156>in for a.penny, in for a poundThe very definition of budget creep.>establish your budget>evaluate you desires vs options>select>executeDone. You now have a rifle you both want and can afford.
>>64946395I agree, I was just showing him how his thought process was not well examined.
got my first br bros
>>64946764Nice.
>>64946764Looks like a ood 'un.
2 inch FAL and no one believes me.>>64946764Is that the SR762 the dude in wichita falls has been trying to sell forever? Nice catch either way.
Happy .308 day erryone
>>64947489Snuck up on me and I was expecting it!
>>64947549Sounds like my mother in law-Bill
>>64937097The FAL is not worth it anymore imho. They were fun, interesting 3-4 MOA beaters back when you could build one from a cheap parts kit, but those days have been gone for over a decade now. Unless you have the biggest hard-on in existence for it, I would try to find something else :( I honestly wish I could help you, but I sold the two I owned for cheap to buddies.
>>64947718Thats a good one! I like to call mine "The Crypt Keeper"-Dale, USMC (ret) 1988-1992
>>64947751Quitter talk. The FN lebanese kits are like $750.
>>64947489Coincidence? I think not!>streaming 'Promises, promises', Naked Eyes
>>64947489Happy .308 Day, Frens
>>64935682Chile makes a good br
Are DSA FALs still good?
>>64949578Everything except whichever model was at the lowest price point
>>64947751>tfw bought SLR for €400
SGAmmo is selling 1,000 boxes of Saltech for $770. That's the lowest we'll likely see of ammo that does have some catch for a while given how things are going. It's absolutely abominable out there for 7.62. Even worse than I imagined.
Hi frens, anyone here interested in milsurp FAL mags for $40/each? sold my SA58 a while ago and my other BR is an M1 so I don't need the mags anymore.
Posted here before about building out an M110ish clone. Should I just get the PSA and cope that its good enough? I know the proper rails are unobtanium and the stock is a bit different
>>64949795oo thanks for the heads up
>>64949795>$770Beats my deal (barely): >>64939593 i will say they shipped same day and is delivered today.
>>64946921FUCK I want an M1903 so badly
>>64952259Yeah, that ship sailed about 20 yrs ago. I mean they are out there...
>>64940106>>64940187>I will never get to this point>I will be a ~65k/yr wageslave chump forever
>>64952324That's enough if you're frugal and only have 3 dependentsJust have no debt that's over 4%
>>64952259Do it now.>>64952271>that ship sailed about 20 yrs agoIt’s back in port now. $1k will easily get you a nice shooter M1903; you can still find one for significantly less if you’re patient and diligent but for less than the cost of any BRs ITT you can have one by the end of the month.
>>64952359Of these 3, i am missing the middle one. Do the stacking swivels line up across these? The Garand looks off.>tankerOf course it's off.
>>64947784dry and dusty... reminds me of desert storm, and i got about as much action in that desert as i get in this one! hahaha -RickUS Army 1990-1995
How often do you all go shooting? I just can't justify 308 at these prices.
>>64952377>Do the stacking swivels line up across these?They’re close enough that you can make it work.
Can I play?
>>64944438Yeah, well they know what they got.
>>64946764Good. Keep all your brass. BOTL for a single stage press for making your own ammo. That will add a great deal of accuracy to your shooting. Measuring your powder, sorting bullets by weight, seating the bullet to your rifle's individual headspace, improving concentricity, and checking finished rounds in a bullet gauge, this reqires less investment than a more expensive rifle and you will outshoot those who have them.
>>64944438>offloaded on FFLs for pennies on the dollar>53 long arms>$18,500Come up with $18.5k and burrow into "the network" if you want to play. Protip, of those 53, 20% will be dogs.
>>64952844Nice.
>>64952119Your deal ended on the 7th.
Any idea why an rfb would still lock open with the gas knob all the way loose? I fully cleaned and lubed it up but it seems over gassed as fuck and the carrier won't go into battery sometimes, it stops short about half an inch when shooting or just loading it and I have to push on it to close. Is lelkek just shite?
>>64955388I had issues with my FAL failing to feed like that and it ended up being an issue with one of DSA's plastic mags having the world's strongest spring and gumming everything up with excess friction
The Anon with the green LMT is dumping it on Gunbroker. Or he was. Extremely good deal. If it's still there, you'll know it when you see it since it's the only green one around.
>>64955388>Is lelkek just shite?Well, yes, mein Fuhrer. Their QC is absolutely randomized. You can take 2 guns from the same production batch and one of them works fine right out of the box and the other one will necessitate multiple trips back and threat of legal action to get fixed.
>>64955899And he shut us out...
>>64953012lmao, a fucking sightmark
>>64943828Check the lower/upper for slop. Mine is like this and I used brass shim material on the mating service to move it back into alignment. Rear sight is mounted to lower.
Imbel for $1200 or DCI for $1k? From what I understand, DCI was a small time producer but made good receivers.
Of you can get a .mil arsenal receiver over a cov one, id do that, but DCI/Coonan arent bad.
>>64956020they know their target audience
Got a G3 coming from a builder, want to pile up some 308 as this will be my first BR. I see Saltech getting a lot of praise and am gonna order 2k of it. Anything wrong with Igman, GGG? Any brands you all would avoid?
>>64956911>Anything wrong with Igman,I saw an interesting "plant tour" on YouTube for the Igman facility and have full confidence. I stacked several cans, i have yet to shoot i am told it runs a little slow. Not concern to me.
>>64944462>Western Governments dont order Battle Rifles from the 1940sWow!
>>64956020>>64956163>>64953012Keltek makes the best battle rifle you can get right nowAnd it's this. Keltec... and it's a bullpup...
>>64955388That sounds awfully lot like a weak recoil spring issue that my buddy had with his AUG. I'd try replacing the spring.
non-BR haver here. have an AR and a Mini14. like em both. been wanting a 308 BR even though I have no real "need" for it as dont hunt or do any 308-necessitating stuff. just want a big boolet longgun for larping. so i'm saving up (poorfag lol) for a Scar cause i just think its neat. and probably going to go full retard and budget another 3-4k for an elcan 1.5-6 cause why not at that point. so yeah, gonna get a 8k+ rifle setup thats far more capable than i could possibly appreciate with my low skill level because why not.now give it to me straight brg. am i rarted?
sell me on an optic for a 16.5" mr762a4
>>64953267The trick is to just sell them on consignment. If the next of kin aren't retarded/feuding they'll be cool with it
>>64958488What features do you want?
>>64958716That's why I like one of my local big gunstores, their consignment section is just a never ending assortment of Boomer/Fudd guns. If you want a nice non turkshit double barrel for less than 800 or a Browning Auto 5 in good condition there's almost always one available.
>>64958346Yeah, probably.
>>649471725 shot groups for moa claims. 5 is the standard.
Greetings gents, I have a simple question.How should I mount a fal in a trunk like picrel? I was thinking a simple gun rack or something up high near the spare tire area.I just want it to be secure in the trunk so it doesn't thump around all over on my trips to the range. Doesn't need to be fancy or expensive, it just needs to JustWork. Thank you.
>>649591485th was behind the tape>>64951682Centurion is back to making proper rails and receivers.
>>64958346>now give it to me straight brg. am i rarted?A little or alot? May I suggest... just get an AR10.
>>64959247>5th was behind the tapeIs this cheating or fixin' the data?
>do you like apples?How do you like them apples?
>>64959386I was just showin the holes that were furthest from each other, pls don't send me a pipebomb.
>>64959406>Note to self: check mail box for rattlesnakes before getting mail
>>64956020I have one of these https://www.sightmark.com/products/ss2000-flashlight and the thing is great.
>>64955388Ironically had this same issue with mine. Turned out I had a whole recoil spring sheared inside my bolt carrier assembly. Mine had some rust issues but I guess it eventually ate away at one of my springs.Took a quick trip back to KT and they fully replaced the springs. They'll also test fire it, and maybe remove the rings on your piston if it helps cycle.Hope you're the original owner so you can get free shipping and service. I've claimed to have lost the receipt before and still got full warranty service and shipping.
>>64955900Never had to threaten anything for my warranties. Always gotten help and they've taken care of my problem child. I will not deny that the QC is complete shit, but they do take care of you (source: I'm the RFB anon with 5 warranty trips)
>>64959713Not knocking KT here but after the 2nd warranty trip I'd be ditching it altogether, let alone 5. I've tossed around the idea of getting a RFB but I don't know if I have the patience for that much maintenance
>>64956911Ever since Lake City surplus dried up, it's fallen to Saltech to become the new "standard" in best M80 ammo. They simply straddle that line of being more expensive than the cheapest stuff (i.e. reloads or Igman or some other random shit), but being better and more consistent in return. At the same time it also doesn't do what retarded shit like Winchester or Federal where they think they deserve to charge you 1.75 per round and simultaneously, somehow, still be bad. There are more expensive and more accurate ammo out there than Saltech, but it's much more expensive and not range ammo. Similarly there's much more expensive and better penetrating ammo, but it's all surplus and costs around $2-10 a round depending on how the boomer selling it feels.
>>64956911Oh, and the box Saltech packages its ammo in is cuuuuuute.
>>64958346>want br>mr762 is cool>but I don't like the forward assist>look at slick slide models>decide to veer away from AR pattern>G3 is cool, but banned in this state>enjoyed playing engi in bf 3>scar would be nice but recently discontinued>lgs gets one>on the high end of my budget>buy it>shoot it>love it>ranger nearby has 200 yard section for sighting hunting rifles>saving for elcan 1.5-6 to sight in there in spring>NEW FOR 2026 SCAR GEN IINow is that money I was saving up still for the elcan or is it for a gen II?>>64959383I'd say for most people an ar10 is probably the right choice.Get something you like and want to shoot. I've put more rounds through a gun I bought 6 months ago than one I bought 10 years ago.
>>64959816If you have the SCAR, you should dump it at some point before the new one comes out and is readily available, then you'll be in a hole. I am willing to bet you spent $3200 on that SCAR since that's around what everyone is scalping at. If the new one comes out, and FN doesn't drip feed like they did the original SCAR then the value will deflate to become commensurate with the going rate of the new one. Happens without fail unless the old one is rare and/or mechanically better, and it probably won't be the latter and it definitely isn't the former.
>>64959780Completely understandable. This is just a very sentimental rifle since it's my first gun purchase. It will never be an heirloom to pass down, but I just like it God damn it.
>>64959159Ive seen heavy wire covered in pipe insulation used before but its very much function over form.
>>64960959Got a photo of that? I don't mind function over form
Snows gone and I already want it to come back
>>64962028t. Me every day after it's gone
>boomer just sold me 1550 rounds of Lake City and PPU for an absolute sweetheart of a dealThere is at least one good boomer in the world.
>>64961569It was at a range I went to a while back, they bent some thick wire into a hook shape that they then fed through a pegboard and put some 1/2 inch pipe insulation on the hook. They were anal about the guns always facing downrange so each bench had had a pegboard setup with enough hooks for 3 rifles or shotguns each
>>64962028>t. sicko
>>64962284>There is at least oneThe more you know...
>>64962743>...the harder they fall
>>64959840Good advise financially but I plan on shooting my nostalgic rifle until it till it breaks in 10 years because I voided my warranty by putting a suppressor on it.Also everything in my safe is discontinued, some to the point that there are gen 3 version of them out now.
>>64959695Found the problem. Damn you whoever said the rfb is the most slept on Semi auto 308. I'm the faggot who listened to strangers on 4chan.I know kel tec is kel tec but still it looks neat. I figured for the price and how it's been out a while, it wouldn't be such dookie. Thankfully I am the original owner so I can get it fixed for free but I just can't feel good about owning it anymore. It's a cool gun and lots of fun at the range but shit like this gives me a sad about having bought it over an ar10 or 10 hi points.
>>64963944This is exactly why I hate Keltec. It'd be one thing if they made shitty looking guns poorly, but to make cool looking guns poorly is an unforgivable crime.
>>64962743>>64963667He even was telling me about how he had sold off most of his collection because he was too old, and had only kept a few rifles for sentimental reasons to give to his kids.
>>64964117>he had sold off most of his collection because he was too oldAnd if you had been in his life sooner, you may have caught that wave. I went over to my neighbor's yard sale to look at his crap secondary, and meet him and chat primary. He's 80.
>>64963944>I just can't feel good about owning itBy the time you "ship of Theseius" it, you will have a new rifle! Hang in there, champ!
>>64963944Oof, thanks for the info at least I was tempted to get one to pair with my FAL.
>>64963944Not familiar with RFB, what am I looking at? A piece that the recoil spring is resting against broke off?
>>64959159I would JB Weld neodymium magnets to the trunk lid and add a replacement gas strut from a Dodge Caravan rear door. Then cover it with crushed red velvet with velcro edging for opsec. Finish lining the trunk in black velvet and adhesive spray and add an Elvira tribute photo to tie it all together. Handcuffs, zipties and duct tape optional accessories.
>>64964957I just moved to this area, and he lived about 10 miles away. I only found him in incidentally but you make a good point about neighborliness.
Will buying a Stgw 57 parts kit ever pay off or is trying to get a receiver for it just a pipe dream
>>64965374Does Tortort make them?
>>64965437Doesn't look like it
>>64965374>just a pipe dreamThere is definitely one build posted here. Keep asking for advice each there and he'll show up.
>>64937097>Order a DSA improved battle rifle>DoneThey're built on original machinery for making FALs too. No reason to screw around with parts kits.

SL7 $2250: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1162344990You could do worse.
>>64965698Yeah, everyone on FALfiles is 22 years old and not decrepit boomers as we all know.
>>64965747>the boogie man is real and he's over 50yoMy last 4 kits weren't from falfiles. One was from FN. One appeared as an unissued FALO, also not falfiles. Maybe you need to expand your horizons and stop blaming?
>>64965477Send them an email, thought they had some a few years ago
>>64953012Based sideways a2 flash hider.
>>64958346A little but it’s still a good gun. It would be more retarded to spend that much on a bad gun.
>>64959159Don’t you think your rifle would be more comfortable riding up front?
>>64964999Happened to mine as well, was the reason for warranty trip #4. The recoil spring works against the tube, which is welded to the bolt carrier. It can break off, causing the gun to work with only one of the two recoil springs.
>>64965796You're a fucking retard.
>>64966773>still blamingTypical.
>>64958346I dumped like 4k into a Suppressed FAL 16" setup we're all retarded here, but that's half the fun of owning a Battle Rifle. Outside of needing a cheap AR with a red dot and flashlight (don't even need a proper mount just tape a semi decent flashlight on) for home defense why would I want to fantasize about needing a rifle to not die?
>>64935849...and the US Army choose M14 over it.
>>64965666Just got mine, quality’s really good and the guy that makes them is super easy to get ahold of for questions
>>64966989The T48 and AR-10 were robbed, we were so close to greatness.
>>64966995>T48AR-10 is better design by a long shot.
>>64967012Only because the AR-10/AR-15 has had way more dumped into refining it. Out the bat the only thing special was the use of aluminum.
>>64967024For example, we could have had a NATO RPK in the T48 with AR-10s being the service rifle, that way we didn't have to get into fire mode autism with .308 and just let the riflemen focus on accurate fire with one guy per fireteam with a more controllable 30 round burst, which is exactly what happened in vietnam with chopped down L1A1s.
>>64935682 Hey /brg/ rate my wood.
Hello BRG, I am acquiring (in the near-ish- future) a PTR-91. I am looking to run this thing with a suppressor, the Velos 7.62 LBP which I already have.The rifle has a 16" barrel, so am I correct in assuming I'll need a #17 locking piece to ensure proper function, even though the can is a low back-pressure can?
>>64965036Can't weld magnets.
>>64967279JB Weld is an epoxy
>>64967072>chopped down L1A1sUhh you mean the L2A1?
>>64967024>Out the batVs.>off the bat>out of the gateHmmm. Did he mean horses or baseball?
>>64967124Solid/10.
>>64966990I got my 80% and kit from him literally 6 years ago now. I email him like once every 6 months and he never replies. All I am trying to do is get my STGW57 finished by him and I have the money to drop right now, and it seems like he ignores me. Do I need to email a few times in a shorter burst or does he hate me or something?
>>64967496I asked him about building my kit, and he said he’s pushed a year and a half out on builds. From what it sounds like, PE-57’s and STGW-57’s are all a side project for him, and he works a regular job outside of it
>>64967296I think I read "JB" as "just". Everything makes more sense now.
>>64967333I'll bet you dollars to doe nuts he's just ESL.
>>64967764I could feel muh culture being appropriates and subverted as I read it. Foot balls aren't round, just sayin'.
>>64967759Just sayin' don't skimp on the trunk. A tac trunk lid would be an awesome project. https://store.kreepsville666.com/blogs/kreepsvision/elviras-car-the-true-story-of-the-macabre-mobile
Got my tax return back. Redpill me on a RAK308-C vs a PTR? I am generally not a fan of Riley Defense but .308 AK sounds based. Is one easier than the other to mount an optic on? Or are both going to shake your optic like an Irish baby?
>>64968231How does that shoot is it accurate? Is that one of the piston ones?
>>64968301It is gentle and more accurate than me. Normal MWS DI. Currently wearing https://lmtdefense.com/product/13-5-7-62-nato/ pinned and welded to 16". Maybe adding a socom762 mini next.
>>64965721>9 more days>still at $1850 & no bidsBid $1850, it will still be $2000 w/sh, tax and FFL fee. And you'd stiill be getting a better battle rifle than PSA, DSA & PTR. But, I'm biased.
>>64970328I am waiting to see what happens, personally. I want it, I've seen your posts before, it's a beauty, but I am not going to get into a bidding war over it.
>>64968658Nice. I got an lmt bcg and I didn't think it would make a difference but there is a lot less felt recoil now. Something about that modified cam path.
>>64970576>I am not going to get into a bidding war over it.Just bid it and forget it. You will be informed when you win or out bid. I just bid my max and turn away. >t. I peek every few daysIt's the 10rnd mags that suck.
>>64970870>bid my maxThat said, this 9ne has a "buy it now" price that heads off any bid war. Sending a cashier's check, deducted the CC fee, but it can get complicated.
>>64970870How expensive are the mags anyway? I am thinking about how I made off like a bandit on my FNAR and the guy giving two 20 rounders he thought were 10 round mags.
>>64970918>How expensive are the mags anyway?It hurts my mouth to speak those words.
Anon who wanted a M1903 are you lurking? >https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1163278292Late WW2 rebuild, probably a Greek return sold through the CMP.
>>64971011It's unlike promag to leave money on the table like this.
>>64972884I'll never forgive HK for not making the SL7 G3 mag compatible. SL6 could have one with the HK93 series, but no, let's make them different.
I wonder what the market would be for making repro mags in a small shop setting. I guess the first problem would be overhead, would you be able to make magazines without needing to buy specialized machines. The second would be getting TDPs or at least accurate measurements. Imagine how much you could make making repro Type99 LMG magazines?
>>64971711Wow that's a great price, I'd jump on that if I didn't already have mine. Such a fun rifle to shoot.
>>64973359Could be decent money just doing the bare minimum to make working mags for niche guns out of sheet metal, I'd do it myself desu if I wasn't living in an apartment
Anybody have experience with Mesko 308? I have 400 rounds of it I might sell at current prices. I've read it's both accurate but also potentially corrosive. It's really sad to see people tripping over themselves for 80 cpr saltech when it was 73 cpr the last election year. Is the dollar that fucked?
Yes.
>>64974805>80 cpr saltech when it was 73 cpr the last election year>+7cprThat's less than 10%, regardless of shipping differences.
>>64974805>80What are you talking about? It's 77 on SG right this minute.
>>64973359>>64973694The biggest hurdle is a jig. Otherwise its a lot of tedious sheetmetal bending and double checking dimensions. The closer to a factory solid steel jig the easier it is. Milled sheet metal screwbuilds are easier but will look homemade and obviously not as nice as a single sheet.
>>64976245It’s gotta be hard because promag has been getting it wrong for decades but at the same time it must also be profitable because they’re still in business.
>>64970870>Just bid it and forget it>still no bidsBid $1850 and save $400 off the buy-it- now price.
>>64977918Real question is: how is Triple-K still in business?
>>64978324My last Triple K (and first) was top quality and I was suprised I derided them for decades without owning a product. By "top quality", I mean absolutely gorgeous leather.
>>64977918Sometimes being the only ones retarded enough to try is the winning play
>>64978074Probably half a dozen dudes waiting until the final hours to crawl out of the woodwork and duke it out in $5 increments
>>64978863I may watch, if Gilligan isn't on.
>>64965721I'm retarded. How do you mount a scope on this?
>>64981482it has slots on top for scope mounts
>>64978890Ginger or Mary Ann?
>>64981482You spend another $700 and wait several months for the mount, if you can find it, and the mags are a few hundred a piece too and rare.
>>64959840new scar comes with shitty buis instead of old ones so it wouldn't surprise me if they skimped out on other stuff mechanically.I'm 90% convinced they did nothing to address suppression issues and research told them that less than 0.05% of scar owners put more than 1k rounds through their rifle so they'll just take the hit on replacing those rifles
>>64981594also somehow they went to mlok from pic rails and added a whole ass pound of weight to the gen 2

>>64983899I bought an m9a4 at the beginning of the year but double actions only worked part of the time. So I had to ship it back to barreta for repair. Its been 6 weeks and its still in the que.

>>64985029I meant on the left*
>>64985029I love this one. The Reflex II makes it.
>>64985052Yes, these are disappearing for any good price. BRs have beeb "discovered".
Due to local laws it looks like now is my last chance to stock up on “assault weapons”. I already own an L1A1 kit built on an Argie FMAP receiver, but I’ve always thought that para FALs looked neat. Is it worth shelling out the $1800+ they’re going for now? Or should I just put that money towards stacking mags and ammo for my other toys?
>>64988123Since you already have a FAL I'd say the latter, unless you really want one.
>>64988123Is ammo getting banned? I'd put that off if not and get more of whatever else you need.
>>64988123417
>>64988279Ammo tax may be getting put into effect, and I predict panic buying, I usually don’t buy ammo locally anyway but doesnt hurt to get more.

Whats your weekend plans /brg/?
I need to put on a new qd comp on my rifle. I feel like if I take the factory comp off with just the vice, barrel rod, and wrench im just going to break something. Should I hit it with the heat gun first?
>>64996459>Should I hit it with the heat gun first?Was the muzzle device installed with Rocksett? Rocksett is heat tolerant. I have heard it is water intolerant.
>>64997248>RocksettThis is the issue I dont know what was use. I have actually rifles one is a 300blk bcm the other is my first gen scar 17s. The bcm I think is red loctite. No clue what they were using on Scars in 2017
>>64995107Well, m/t/w is my "weekend", but in no order. Shoot the SA58, badly play folk music at the lake, get Vietnamese food with Grandma, replace That Damn Sensor in the car.
>>64998551>No clueMy keltek RFB was immovable, so likely Rocksett. Get a goob bbl vice block and proper fitting wrenches. Research the water/Rocksett relationship. Lift more.
>>64998694which one?
>>64999376Rifle is the para version. Folding out the stock feels awesome. Sensor is the oil temperature one. Doesn't look too hard to change out.
>>64995107I went shooting last weekend so my plans for this one have been to sit on my ass and move as little as possible. I have so far been successful in this mission although this evening I have to work out before dinner.
>>64988123Stock up on mags or ammo. Things are going to get worse not better since Orange man is running the country on political fumes and overdrawn credit cards. I don't see any pathway to congress not getting blue wave of 31 yo communists in the house. I bought the DSA Para Lower conversion kit and it had shit lock up on both my coonan and imbel uppers and it's primarily made from aluminum too, i got the traditional top cover version and i swear they made the dust covers from tin, the Recoil springs also bind and can make the bolt get stuck to in the rear. Just doesn't feel like $600+ If your not stocked well on ammo then that should be priority followed by mags you don't have but 10 mags per gun type is really all you need
>>65000190I have the para conversion lower and dust cover as well, and have had 0 issues with it

$2315, these are great. Though mine are Israeli, 50.41s., though 1 is still in kit.
Trying to decide between a battle rifle and an AR-15 at the moment. How good are the offerings from PTR? I really like the G3 platform.
>>65003090An AR is pretty much a range toy, so a 91 pistol is a natural selection for you. Plan ahead and imagine your picrel with an FRT... it's just a matter of time.

Is there an optics or long range general? I need some suggestions for what to put on my Aero AR10>Trijicon Accupoint or Accupower>Leupold VX-3i>Docter fixed 4x>USO TS 1-8 >Elcan M145?Or just be a hipster and run it with irons ig

>>65003176How accurate is the gun? Barrel length?
>>65003310Haven't sighted her in yet. 20" stainless match barrel rifle gas
>>65003329My personal opinion is ar10s should have as much magnification as you can afford. Most people try to do as much as they can with as little magnification as they can because they want to maintain that 1x capability for epic pie cutting contests. Once you abandon that notion you can focus on making a pretty sweet long range rifle. Of the ones you listed I'd go with the accupoint 4-16. I know you were probably looking at the 1-8.
>>65004102>accupoint 4-16.I love my Acupoint in 1.1x4 on my 10/22. Exceptional clarity.

is there anything comparable to the ar15 where you can choose from the market of components and replace parts?
>>65009856>is there anything comparable to the ar15Maybe someone here can check me, but the AR10 could be like that?
>>65009978Impossible.
>>64965615Well fuck. I found someone selling one, but he wants $2k. Suggestions anyone? I want an FAL, this Anon seems to have the right idea, but I also don't want to get fucked over should they ever restock at some vague time in the future.
>>65007187It was a very simple but useful setup –at least out to 200yds which is all the further my range goes. Maybe I should just RETVRN.
>>65010045What zero do you use?
>>65010324>What zero do you use?With the RX06? I zeroed it at 200yds on the tip of the triangle. The TA11 is zeroed at 100 on the tip of the chevron like the manual suggests for 147gr ball. That's all I shoot anyway.
Anyone get the DSA Acog direct mount? Its their optics rail but threaded on top for Acogs. Wondering if I should spend the money to get my optic a half inch lower
