Bought a FAL receiver later
Buying a PTR now

Only then did I realize I could have bought a SCAR for roughly the same price

>Only then did I realize I could have bought a SCAR for roughly the same price

But now you have two guns; one for each hand.

I have to wonder, is there any reason one wouldn't be able to make an aftermarket SCAR lower that accepted G3 mags? Obviously you'd lose the BHO, but that seems like a smallish price to pay to have $3.50 mags.

Scars are memes tho

I bought an imbel FAL copy a while ago on an impulse.

It has terrible feed issues, doublefeeds a lot. I googled around a bit and I think the issue might be a monobrow feed ramp. CAIs seem to sport this bizarre modification, and I don't know whether I should sell it or try to fix it myself. Anybody have similar problems or experience with this feed ramp issue?

I got pics if anyone's interested.

>>31922619
$30-40 for OEM FN mags vs $2-3.50 for HK mags. Granted, if you can afford a SCAR, you can probably afford the mags, but I saw a lot of people saying the Handl Defense lower was a solid investment just for the ability to use .308 PMAGs. A similar lower that drops the bolt hold open for mags that cost 10% of what OEM mags do would probably do very well.

Only reasons I can see to pick up an aftermarket SCAR lower is if you have other rifles that use those mags.

>>31922739
How bad was it for .308 last time? I remember 5.56/.223, 9mm, and .22LR drying up almost overnight after Sandy Hook, but I didn't have a .308 at the time and didn't pay any attention to its availability.

I'm sitting on about 1,100 rounds at the moment since I've been stockpiling 9mm and 5.45 more than anything, but I'm wondering if I should try and get a few more boxes of Hirtenberger on order before Tuesday.

>>31922943
It wasnt that bad, it was rather easy to get, but not the *cheap* shit.

At $16/20 you could have what you wanted.

I only have 200 rounds of 308

fuck

>>31923067
At least tell me you have 10 magazines

>>31922915

Tbh I have enough guns in enough meme calibers that I wont need to worry about shooting ammo.

>>31923092
Easy enough for one guy to buy both boxes.

>>31923074

that's the regretful thing about buying a FAL. mags aren't cheap and plentiful anymore

>>31923118
Theyre not too expensive faggot

>>31923112
I have a cabelas that keeps stocking up PPU 6.5 at a rate of like 1 case a week so I have around 600 rounds of 6.5 carcano FMJ and SP.

>>31923092
I'm hoping this will sort of be the case with some of my other calibers. I'm worried about 5.45 because there's so little domestic production, but I'm fairly certain Garand-spec .30-06 and .30 Carbine didn't really go anywhere last time, and both of those are common enough in the US that there will be more than a couple of boxes kicking around in every store. Worst case scenario, I've got about 2,800 rounds of .22LR I can plink with, which will last me for-fucking-ever since I only have a bolt gun in that caliber at the moment.

I have 40 rounds. I'm selling the 600 rounds of 9mm I have left to a co-worker on payday. I have a single .30 can of 5.56 left and only ~1k rounds of 7.62x39.

Figure I'll have even more reasons to be disgruntled should hillary win and everything go full panic. I don't give a single fuck anymore. Let it burn.

>>31922425
What is the optic on most of those rifles?
Glad I got a SCAR when I did, regret not getting both colors now.

I'm looking for an optic for my PTR and I want something that can shoot at reasonably long ranges for the PTR, but also be used for closer stuff as well. Does anyone have a not shit optic to recommend?

I have no fucking idea what I'm doing when it comes to optics other than what the numbers mean for magnification and lens size. I do understand a good optic usually costs a pretty penny, though.

I have a chance to purchase a DSA FAL SA58 21" with around 10 mags and 300 rounds for $1300. Should I purchase it? I don't know much about FALs but have always wanted one.

>>31923373
Looks like a Vortex Crossfire II.

>>31923481
General rule of thumb is: if you spend more on the optic than you did on the rifle, you're doing it right.

However, with a PTR this isn't hard to do.

>>31922425
>>31923495

You can get a new DSA off atlantic for 1000, if it has issues they will work with u. Randy Bo Bandy fucking won't.

>>31923518
Well that's fucking stupid. I don't need any magnification on my SBR, and it's got 2.5k into it. Same with the arsenal ak I have, the tavor, the m2 and m4 and vepr shotguns, the multiple pistols I have... Do you see a pattern?

How the fuck does one OP??? I only steal photos and talk shit but I need to know about a war correspondent that had his account go dark last night after hinting that the raqqa shit would kick off soon. I hope its the military shutting him the fuck up so they can do their thing but I would like to know the guy is ok. He posted great details and didnt give fucks. I can't post photos for shit but a few half broken links let me get to his name and one of the deleted posts that i saved.

>>31923495
That's a fair price for an SA58 Standard; but not for the SA58 Voyager.

>>31923531
>You can get a new DSA off atlantic for 1000
Yeah, a cast pot-metal Voyager model with no carry handle, no bi-pod cut, and shitty QC.

>>31923548
>Do you see a pattern?
Yeah, none of those things need a magnified optic. Magnification costs money, which you don't seem to realize. A $600 re-dot is not the equal of a $600 1-8x in quality.

>>31924200
>What is the real limits of their accuracy?
It will vary from rifle to rifle. Generally it's 2-4MOA. You're trying to hit a torso-sized target at 5-800 yards; not aspirin tablets at 100. Take your rifle out and bench-rest it to see what accuracy it can consistently reproduce, and go from there.

>>31924200
This would be way overkill for a PTR.

>>31924253
>>31924266
>overkill

So how does that translate into optics? I know jack and shit about optics, so a 2-4 MOA weapon would warrant what level of maximum magnification?

>>31924286

Like 4x. 3.4x, maybe. That's just me, though.

>>31924286
1-6 or 3-9 or something like that would be fine for a PTR while also costing much less. if you were going to move that 3-18 around to different guns (having to rezero every time, of course) then buying the 3-18 wouldn't be a bad proposition.

>>31924299
>>31924327
Thanks guys. I'll see what I can find in that range.

>>31924223
Neat, I didn't know about that trick. Looks like you can add one of those cheap CRKT sporks for $3.50ish and a Flecktarn G3 pouch and you'll pay like $1.50 in shipping on the whole order instead of $7 or so.

Not all of us are so fortunate as to live in places with low property prices and have no car payment.

That said, pretty sure the OP bit was a joke.

>>31925281
I also have a car payment. In fact, my car payment is more than my mortgage (I should probably refinance).

>>31925296

>>31925266
Glad to see some of you know how to live within your means. When I was making serious money in Sillycon Valley in the 90's I socked away cash like a starving wolf does red meat, and if I hadn't I'd probably be living under an overpass by now.

>>31925296
Point still stands. My rent is roughly $900/mo and a mortgage would be higher at the moment (thanks for the property taxes, Austin dems). Car payment is $250/mo. Factor in additional bills and I'm about to put away maybe $1K-$1.2K a month if I don't buy anything but bare necessities, and I make $26/hr.

Not sure how you're doing it unless you meant you were putting away $150-250 a month, which I was able to do when I made what you do.

Also, are they solid with steel case? I'm probably gonna be shooting a lot, so cheaper the better (obviously for reloads I'll need to replicate similar speeds/bullet weights or have a known zero adjustment)?

I cleaned up my G3 mags with some CLP tonight. I'm surprised at how nicely they cleaned up. Glad I was able to get 30 of 'em before the happening.

How did stocks and prices fair for G3 mags after Sandy Hook? I'm trying to focus on ammo now, but I'd like to hit 50 mags eventually.

>>31934760
https://www.reddit.com/r/AR10/comments/5bobnj/question_and_pictures_of_a_new_rifle/

I posted the link earlier and since then I found one new report, looks like they shipped a rifle slightly overgassed so the brass hits the shell deflector but nothing else notable so far. My Daniel Defense rifle does the same thing so I suspect this is a reliability measure.

As far as I can tell the reason why they're so cheap right now is because no one knows anything about them and they just got started around June 2016 so they're competing on price. They have next to no staff too, their sales department is very obviously staffed by one person. Unless election causes a huge panic, it should be ok. Unless you live in California you shouldn't have to worry about a ban for at least a year.

I'll be able to pick mine up in December, hopefully I'll be able to let you guys know how it shoots then.

>>31934760
If Hilary gets elected, panic buying will continue for a while after the election, ammo prices will continually rise. When she inevitably introduces Crime Bill Part 2: Electric Bogoloo, it will be panic buying cranked to 11.

So unless in your mind you're positive that Trump will win, then buy that shit NOW. I went into short term debt to get my M1A with parts before the election.

>>31936710
I don't have debt but I definitely bought now to lock in the price, they were ok with me paying upfront and shipping a month from now. I'm willing to bet that come December the price of AR10s and AR15s will be through the roof.

>>31936739

Ar-10 or scar?

>>31936896
AR-10 is going to be lighter, more upgradeable, more accurate. Magazines are more common and cheap. SCAR is going to be easier to maintain and probably better if you just want a battle rifle.

>>31936896
low cost are AR-10s notoriously finicky

They range from $800-$3500, and all I can say is, you get what you pay for.

>>31936908
I feel like the SCAR is accurate enough to be used in a dmr role so much that it wouldn't be worth getting the ar-10 because of accuracy
weight wise I think the scar is lighter than most ar-10s right?
magazines don't really bother me that much, but I'll take that into consideration

>>31936927
8 pounds empty is about on par with comparable SR-25 pattern AR10s. Small frame AR10s are closer to 7 pounds like the SF-MATEN.

Accuracy-wise they're about 1-2 MOA which is solid. If you want more the marksman variants are going to be better but a well-built AR10 is easily sub-MOA.

>>31936923
Maybe at 800 dollars, but the M&P10 and SR762 are ok and they're around 1.4-1.5k. So is the M5E1.

>>31936923
>>31936933
whats an ar-10 that is around 3000? that's what I'd prob be paying for a scar now

>>31936958

https://danieldefense.com/firearms/gas-system/mid-length/daniel-defense-dd5v1.html

http://www.livefreearmory.com/product/lf308-ba-hybrid/

Personally I would go for the SF-MATEN and swap for Geissele SSA-E to get something that is handy and incredibly accurate. Mega Arms puts out amazing quality almost universally. If you have to have a well-known brand, Daniel Defense or Larue are both solid. If you're willing to take a gamble, Live Free Armory.

>>31937041
I could sell my ar-15 and just upgrade to it's bigger brother too, that's always an option, but I'm not sure I wanna do that
I'll look at the mega stuff maybe, that DD looks a bit meh to me

>>31937052
If you really want you could also just buy a Matrix Arms or Aero M5E1 receiver set and build your own. As long as you're very careful in selecting your stock, handguard, and barrel you should be able to get something that's exactly what you want.

>>31937052
When buying an AR-10, make sure you look at the parts compatibility. Unlike the AR-15, not all AR-10 parts are created equal and they don't all fit together.

>>31937123
one of the reasons I've just considered getting a scar
I've seen them shoot MOA quite a bit, so I'm not sure if an ar-10 is worth it at this point

You can find a new ecc for 4200ish
my sr-15 has been a pretty good rifle, one stuck case but other than that it's ran amazing (and has no muzzle rise)

I've been thinking about selling it anyways though, it's such an amazing rifle but when you remember it was a 2100 ar it makes you think

>>31948121
>And the quality of the FAL will be judged
well, naturally.

>>31948753
DSA is the only company making new ones. They're ok, but nothing compared to FALs built with mainly foreign parts. I would get a used one off gunbroker or armslist if I was you. Look for ones built on imbel recievers to buy, don't get one built on an enterprise arms made receiver. StG58's tend to be the most accurate FAL, so look for one built with an stg barrel.
If you want to know more or have any questions, ask at falfiles.com. There are people there who've forgotten more about FALs than I've ever known.

Their newer stuff is smoldering tire fire bad like he says though and should be avoided.

What's the difference between a BR and an AR?

>>31957043
>not using Google
Assault rifles are select-fire weapons which feed intermediate cartridges from a detachable magazine. Battle rifles may also use detachable magazines, select fire, and other features that make them seem like assault rifles, but the key difference is that they fire full-power cartridges and are a much larger family that includes everything from Lee Enfeild and Springfield bolt-actions to modern weapons like the SCAR-H.

>>31957043
>>31957063
Unless by AR you of course mean Armalite Rifle pattern weapons, which are, generally, not actually assault rifles, being that they usually do not have select-fire models available for civilian use and ownership. ARs are highly customisable because of their modular design, which makes them quite popular.

depends on what the conflicts average engagement range is. The longer it is the better the Battle rifle is then the assault rifle. For instance in afghanistan it might have been better to give the troops battle rifles as average engagement distance was over 800 meters I believe.

>>31958676
Buy folding stock lower. You'd have to swap out the trigger and other innards. Costs $400 for the lower itself

>>31958676
well, to get a folding stock you'll need a new bolt carrier and spring along with the stock. You can get a good railed top cover from DSA, and painting rhodie color scheme is just getting some baby shit green and yellow paint and slathering it on the gun like you don't care.

I wonder if they relly believe in guns or are just poseuring with them because they know guys like I pay to fap to this kind of pics....

>>31960802
gun collection and active shooting = money
girls like money and know you can at least sustain a fucking hobby that they may have fun with, and can post lewd pics with your guns for many likes on whatever internet sites they frequent

not like females actually have political beliefs lol

Can SCAR 17 owners tell me pros and cons?

>>31961961
Shits amazing
FN doesnt import enough of them

>>31961961
cons: heavier than a 5.56 rifle, reciprocating charging handle, expensive as hell
pros: literally everything else

>>31962017
reciprocating CH isnt that big a deal honestly

>>31962024
In a vehicle or around a barrier I can imagine it would be annoying

>>31961961
the biggest con for me is the current market price. lightly used ones going for almost $1000 more than a year ago really makes it unappealing to me.

>>31962045
Its basically just above the magazine. Its not often your going to have the magazine sitting on a barricade, its possible though. Especially since one generally put the CH on the side of your weak hand.

There are folding CHs too

Car? Well I guess I could see it as a potential snag point, again, folding CH though.

Any chance the price'll go down anytime soon? and how accurate can this baby get? 1-Moa?

>>31958339
>average engagement distance was over 800 meters I believe.
No, its closer to 300 or so. cause thats the farthest they could effectively engage us with their AKs

Rate my FAL

>>31962116
1 moa factory, maybe more. The price depends on if FN wants to import more. It could go down if Trump removes clintons EOs, but I don't know if that's effecting it.

>>31962116
With hornady match loads I get moa, ive gotten under moa with some exceedingly consistent handloads.

Thinking of picking up a 6.5 creedmoor barrel now that Deadshot barrels is putting them out.

Any way for a /not21fag/ to get an FAL receiver?

I'm converting my 21'' dsa sa 58 to a 18'' para. Could any of you recommend a scope for plinking and being able to hunt. I think I need a scope that is 1-5 zoom or 1-4 but I just don't know which scopes are good. Can I get some recommendations for something between $200-$300.

>>31964224
Buy a whole rifle
Have a parent buy it for you
Private transaction with a non FFL seller

>>31964352
At your budget, vortex strike eagle.
Converting to pass is going to cost you quite a bit more than that though

I want an M1A

I hear the new ones are not so good

Are there any things I can look for to identify an older one?

>>31965849
Serial number range

>>31966098
what's the cutoff though

>>31965849
One thing to remember: never ever get anything but milspec forged receivers.

I've seen people with cast M1As, they all begin to malfunction after a time (depends how often they used it) because the receiver started to stretch.

>>31964352
>>31965821
I'll second a strike eagle. I really like mine on my AR.

>>31966239
You'd have Google up an answer.

This may not be the thread to ask but would it be better to build a fal from a parts kit, or to outright buy a completed one and from which manufacturer?

anywhere to get inch parts kits?

>>31966930
They pop up on forums from time to time, they don't seem terribly common at all so good luck on that one.

>>31966930
Throw up a WTB posting on the FALfiles. Put a price your willing to pay in the title to grab peoples attention.

>>31965849
The new ones are fine. GI parts are not made of some super metal that never breaks. Forged receiver talk is fuddlore.

>>31968463
Cast from back in the day was that bad.
Modern castings are as strong as older forgings
