wood stock 5.56 rifle

>>34209948
You'll regret not building an AR soon enough and then be stuck with the mini-14 that no one wants to buy from you for anything near what you paid for it.
T. Past Mini-14 owner.

>>34209948
mini 14 seems good.

not much in the way of semi-auto wood furniture rifles.

someone will say ar15 with wood, but they just dont look right.

maybe sp-1 will help clear your conscience of the black rifle look.

They make wood stocks for ARs, and they look awesome

>>34209948
They make 556 aks you know

>>34209967
>>34209977
>>34209981
I've already got an AR build in 300 blackout, wanted something wood for this 5.56. I think ar looks too funky with wood.

>>34209998
too terrorist-looking. i've never ever seen anyone with an AK at the range.

>>34209999
Nice quads m8.
Well OP, it's your money and your choice, I had a mini-14 and it was an okay rifle, not great but not bad either, pretty overpriced IMO but there some nice stock options options out there that are still wood.
Regardless, whatever you get, I hope you enjoy it.

>>34210015
So you'll be the center of attention. Make some new friends anon

>>34210015
Out side of AR, mini, and AK, not a whole lot exists thats any good, common, and has wood furniture. century c93 comes to mind, but don't do that, anon.

If you don't want an AR my vote goes towards an arsenal SLR 106, and put wood on it.

>>34210015
You're a fag. Enjoy your shitty rifle.

>>34209948
Well, you could get an M1907 or M1908 carbine, but those aren't 5.56 so snort fridge mold.

>>34210038
Thanks anon. I agree the mini-14 is way overpriced but damn this thread shows there's no alternative ranch rifle.

>>34209948
Could get an Ares SCR. No clue how good of a rifle they are, but they can use AR uppers and Remington 870 stocks.

Wood stock AR would still be better for patrolling the Mojave though.

>>34209999
>I think ar looks too funky with wood.

>>34209948
Why does it have to be a wood stock?

Why not get an ARES SCR?

Otherwise the Mini is a good alternative. It's really the only 5.56, Non-AR alternative rifle. There's the Kel-Tec Su-16, too. At least that takes AR mags.

>>34212340
It'd be impossible to machine.

To start off, lever actions are a bitch to machine in the first place. They're complex, need odd cuts and require you to swap tooling several times over.

Second, you'd need to machine a two part rifle, with an upper and lower, to have a mag well. You could design around this but it'd have numerous issues concerning strength and wobble not to mention tolerances that'd be an issue with the lever action itself.

Third, to what point?

In states where ARs are illegal, mini 14s usually are not, and if they are, pump action 556 rifles never are, which are far simpler to machine and you can make them able to be able to accept the pump action shotgun aftermarket, taking triggers, furniture, rails, et cetera.

It'd like one myself but there is a very clear reason why Bolt actions won out in WW1 and WW2.

>>34212467
I feel like the machining wouldn't be super impossible. That said my extent of knowlege about firearms is ForgottenWeapons videos and disassembly of my small WW2 collection. No knowledge of actually machining metal.

I also think a two-part rifle isn't necessary. Perhaps simply a henry action but instead of an elevator, you have a lever controlled feed on the STANAG mag.

>to what point

To no point. Its totally useless. Scout rifle tier. For fun because its cool. This shit would never sell but at least its cool in concept and I'd buy one sub $600 USD.

have you ever seen a CNC machine? Does it not occur to you that you can, flip a workpiece over and machine the opposite side?
There is a .308 lever action rifle and a 7.62x54r lever action rifle. The problem isnt machining, but clearance for the charging lever with the magazine

>>34209999

If it were possible to sell them and make money, they would (probably) be made.

Now, an antiquated inferior locking design (not suitable for modern cartridges because the locking surfaces are so far from the chamber it has a lot of flex), that does require more moving parts and complexity in general that requires a possibly proprietary side-feed magazine--apparently makes the economics not worthwhile.

If you want to try your hand at designing one with few moving parts, a rotating bolt, and uses common (AR-15) magazines then by all means, maybe you can even say it's your property and sell the design.

>>34209999
I think an old A1/SP1 style rifle can look good with wood, but it's a matter of taste.

>>34210015
Gay opinion.

>>34210287
The KelTec SU16 .223 rifles and variants are really not that nice, they are very lightly built and they have a short lifespan that's cut even shorter by rapid fire.

They're designed to be really lightweight and low cost, with all the drawbacks this entails.

nice quads, why not just get a 5.56 upper for your AR?

>>34212467
>>34213032
Literally this exact fucking rifle: >>34211637
Just make the receiver extend downwards to have a magwell for AR mags, and make it slightly longer to clear the lever throw.

Fucking jesus.

>>34213212
You're not trying hard enough, I've found them for $700 new.

>>34212467
>They're complex, need odd cuts and require you to swap tooling several times over.

As opposed to the oh-so-simple-to-machine AR upper that requires about 6 different fixturings?

>>34211637
dat subMOA rifle

>>34215409
You would need to machine a new bolt since the 7.5 french cartridge base is so much bigger than the .223's.

>>34217446
On the other hand, you would have really strong support with all that extra material.

>>34216694
>>34216711
Ah yes, ignore the lever throw that must extend the length of the cartridge and would make the throw awkward as hell given if we took geometry in highschool and weren't exempt because we were of the short bus riders, would have the lever slamming into the magazine given it's length and the needed travel.of the bolt.

Ignoring how the rifle would be the height of a fucking assembled AR15 receiver, which you can TOTALLY FUCKING MACHINE AS ONE PIECE, right? Fucking triggers man, who needs them. Bolts being larger than the barrel for lock up? Fuck that.

I mean in battlefield there's the Russian 1895! It's nebah been dune b4! It totally works in my head! Those silly engineers and machinists don't know what's on the up and up I say!

I'm special and my ideas are even more so because body is smart enough to come up with the same idea, draw it out on paper do 5 minutes of math and realize how stupid it it's.

And whole I'm at it, fuck John Moses Browning, he didn't know shit about lever actions and pump actions.

>>34211518
unfortunately for being a single shot rifle its just as expensive as the mini-14 is

(checked on this for a prepper thread a few days ago, guess what... $800)

NYfag. I plan on moving soon but until then I'm looking for a Mini-14. I just want a basic ranch rifle, how much would I be looking to spend on a used one?

Or, you know, you just change the dimensions.
The Henry there isn't like your typical Marlin or Winchester, it has a rotating bolt.

>>34216659
I used to have a BLR. They're not that amazing.
>>34212340
That would be pointless.

>>34219736
Henry Long Ranger =/= BLR

It has an alloy receiver, a rotating bolt with radial locking lugs, and a completely free-floated barrel, it's precise like a laser and can shoot holes in holes with suitable match ammo.

>>34219760
The Long Ranger and the BLR both use a gear-driven AR-style rotating bolt. Functionally, the main difference is that the BLR's trigger moves with the lever while the Long Ranger's doesn't.

You sound like you're repeating ad copy. Just say "aluminum". The BLR has an aluminum receiver too, by the way.
>rotating bolt with radial locking lugs
Like the BLR

Does not make any difference. Plus, in this case, all that means is that it lacks the BLR's barrel band.
>can shoot holes in holes with suitable match ammo
Yeah, sure bud. As I recall, my BLR shot pretty well too.

Excuse me if your post is actually sarcasm.

So what I am hearing from /k/ is: American needs a wood stock 5.56 rifle, that takes STANAG mags, has traditional wood rifle lines, is not a mini 14, and costs around $700.

Yeah, thats a good thing. barrel bands suck donkey dick and are the main reason so many lever guns don't hold 1 moa including lots of BLRs

>>34213032
You need to take another look at the Long Ranger.

It has proper Locking Lugs (two sets of them) to get a perfect and really strong lockup every time.

>>34219994
Its not aluminum dumbass. Its steel.

Whether a free-floating barrel is beneficial depends on the design specifics of the gun. You have no data that proves it is on this one.

All im comparing is blr with barrel bands vs long ranger without. Long rangers will outshoot a blr 100% of the time. Glass bedded vs free floating is a real argument. Barrel band vs free floating is not up for discussion
