>>65087230Thank you op.
>>65087230I built an Israeli FAL 4-ish years ago and I got a Para FAL back in December. I am tempted to part with both of those to get one of the Lebanese kits to get back to owning just one FAL. I know there is or are anons in here who bought those kits. How are they? The barrels in good shape on them? How about the rest of it too, anything look bad on them?
>>65087234I should go through this and update the prices. You aren't finding an RFB that isn't some pinned barrel monstrosity for $1200. Median price is $1500, you might get super lucky and snipe one for less that hasn't been prematurely aborted.
>>65087720I found and passed up an rfb for $700 a few weeks ago. Might see if the shop I went to in Utah still has it…
>>65085130Yeah, I want to get a set of wood furniture. I think the last time I shopped for it I stopped because I couldn't find the hardware and wasn't sure about what screws I could substitute in for the buttplate or something. Funnily enough my rifle is built from ozzy parts so I really should. On the other hand I think the plastic has a neat texture, and the black rifles in the Falklands pics looks pretty cool, though I know there was plenty of wood out there too. >>65087183Holy dooly>>65087414Yeah that's a nice looking rifle. Actually that's why I shot mine the other day, because last time I shot it, I was shooting way left. I must have dropped the rifle or something because it wasn't like that before. My rear sight is now sitting a little proud to the right which looks silly but I was hitting the gong and torsos at 330 yards so I'll take it. I think I'm gonna have to take it back out to confirm my zero though. I ordered 400 rounds of .308 so maybe next week.
>>65087234Should I get a HK417 or the New SCAR 17? are they even worth it?
>>65088088>HK417You aren't getting one, I'm not even being mean. Just go check for yourself. >new SCARNot happening unless you want someone to fuck your bank account raw. They will do what they always do with this shit: LEO/MIL first for like a year, and then they'll drip feed a small supply of civilian versions onto the market for at least another year. Those ones will inevitably have problems, so if you actually paid through the nose to get your hands on one from some rent seeking boomer you're getting what you deserve. Check back in three or four years when the gun is on its third version and most of the kinks have been worked out. If you want to buy a gun that makes you feel like you bought an HK417 and flashes your cash? Buy an LMT like the graph says. Who knows, you might get lucky and find one used.
>>65087720Be the change... you want to see.
>>65087720Image is there to stop questions like:>I got $$ what's a good battle rifle for me?>What even is/are a battle rifle?
>>65088243>If you want to buy a gun that makes you feel like you bought an HK417 and flashes your cash? Buy an LMT like the graph says. Who knows, you might get lucky and find one used.Makes me giggle when anons complain a cheaper gun on the image is a few hundred off, but never complain that the HK is about $3,000 off realistic modern prices.
>>65086146Try V7 or ADM.
>>65088538Yeah, but it could still be a bit more accurate, and other guns should be on there. The BAR/FNAR, the Desert Tech MDR, and others exist in 7.62 NATO but are absent. Likewise the prices are several years out of date. >>65088547Realistically no one here is going to buy anything modern HK as a battle rifle, that is probably why.
>>65088088You can find an MR762A4 for the same price as the graph>New SCARThey seem nice, but all the SCAR 17 had going for it at its price point was the vidya nostalgia factor, which is dead with the new versionThe HK rifle line is very seriously stilted towards DMR/precision over battle rifle usage, so budget for good glass as well>Anon recommending LMT>Because the SCAR will have QC issuesLMT is fine but be ready to send it back for work, there's a reason they have the nickname "Learning machining together"
>>65089394LMT singular parts are generally fine, complete rifles are another story. Better to buy them piecemeal.
>>65089419If they’re contract overruns, yeah. Specifically made for civilian purchase, generally no.
>>65088243>SCAR has QC problems dont buy>Buy an LMTlol
>>65089448nta but I'm a big fan of their bcg. I'll probably get their charging handle too since I don't really like the kac one.
>>65089394I should have clarified that by problems I didn't necessarily mean QC. When the SCAR came out, it didn't have any QC problems that were so endemic that they became synonymous with the rifle. What they did have was design issues. Even the OP rentry that hasn't been updated in three years makes mention of the SCAR being tough on glass. I remember the first guy on /k/ who bought one recorded himself shooting it (it was in the winter, I still remember there was snow everywhere in the vid), and he destroyed his EOTech in the video because it cracked the glass. The poor bastard hadn't even shot a hundred rounds through it. FN worked on this problem over the years, but we still know the SCAR as a gun that's tough on your glass. I foresee a similar issue with the new one. Not the same issue, but a similar one that people stumble across after owning them for a month or two. I was cautioning Anon against getting a new SCAR for that reason (and also the aftermarket sellers will rape his wallet). >>65089571I know LMT has issues but they are corrective ones. And I'd never suggest anyone but HK because I want you to have a little respect for yourself as a consumer. They're cunts. They actively hate you. And they overcharge harder than anyone because of the brand name even if what they are hocking isn't particularly special. At every turn all their business decisions seem to be guided by spite. This MP7 business is just another example to throw on the mountain of prior examples.
>take my AR10 to the range today>get better groups with cheap Igman M80 than random 168gr "match" ammoWhat's your ammo of choice?
>>65087230Ill post even though my current BR is a parts kit in a drawer. Got it for free too lmao. Would appreciate some links for a cheap barrel and flat though so i can start the fiesta.-Milkman
>>65090604HKParts for the flats. Don't ask me about barrels. I just know people don't like PTR ones.
>>65090626thanks! I was eying a barrel on sarco for like 160 bucks, I'll buy the flat near memorial day or 4th of July I reckon so i can get a like 50% discount. Also I think I reckon I can build myself a garand for around 500 so I reckon I will start saving up for that too
>>65090572175 fgm. It's out of stock everywhere locally so I shot one box and some random stuff too. I know I can get it online but I like being able to buy a box or two on the way home from work. It's been out for two weeks. I might start reloading again but I really get no enjoyment out of doing that.
>>65090467>I foresee a similar issue with the new oneThe "new one" is a small set of iterative changes to fix lingering issues from the old one>longer mlok handguard>better trigger>ambi controls>an actual shoulder on the fucking barrel>hydraulic buffer and lighter bolt carrier to mitigate the "tuning fork" optics rapeThere weren't any huge leaps taken with the gun that they couldn't have done 10+ years ago, besides maybe the new bolt carrier.>And they overcharge harder than anyone because of the brand name even if what they are hocking isn't particularly specialThe mr762 in particular is an incredibly accurate 308 gas gun, even for the price point it's at. The 9holereviews video on it is pretty good.
>>65090604You could hock the whole thing towards a complete kit that includes original barrel. Think apex still has some in stock. Decent quality barrels, too. Didn’t get a sewer pipe with mine, at least.
>>65090626What makes an hkparts flat better than one from rtg?
>>65090857If RTG has it, then get it from there. HKParts just almost always has them in stock.
>>65090767>could hock the thing towards a complete kit from apexHere's the funny thing - that IS an apex partial kit. It was a 2 for 1 deal on apex last december iirc, buy a partial L and a partial C kit for like 90 bucks. my customer (NJ fag, he cant own the C as it's specifically namebanned) was retarded enough not to get the full kit deal for like 200. He overpaid, I got a free kit, He took his L kit thinking he would build it himself, decided he was a lazy bastard and wants me to build it for him again. As for my Spanish slap battle raifu, i think ill spend the 300-400 bucks to buy the barrel and receiver just like oldfags of old
why do boomers hoard m1 garands and tell us they fought in ww2?
>>65090925No, no. I mean, apex is currently selling barreled kits, with original, headspaced barrels.
>>65091032well yeah but since there's barreled kits now, I don't reckon I could hock the partial so i could buy a barreled kit
>>65090748That doesn't mean FN won't fuck up. Would you drop 3.5k on a first gen, right off the line, SCAR? I'd scoff at the suggestion unless it was specifically to flip it.
I’m looking at buying an optic for my ptr91 and thought I’d ask here for any suggestions. I’m looking for something that’s fixed power, between 3x and 6x. Pic related is the “vibe” I’m going for
>>65091204Then your options are simple, either the Acog TA11 or the Steiner S432.
>>65091204Elcan.
