Are there any scopes with integrated red dots on the market?
I want a good optic for my battle rifle/ hunting rifle combo.

>>64283006
>All MTAC 1-4x scopes are illuminated. Available kits include the scope, a Fastfire 3, and a P.E.P.R.™ mount, making for an immediate and full-on tactical optics system.

>>64282178 (OP)
Going to a gun show tomorrow to hopefully sell my M1 Carbine/trade it to get an M1A. Bottom line, what should I pay at most for an M1A? I'm thinking 1,300 for a standard 22" barrel, maybe 1800 for a loaded model.

>>64283102
>1,300 for a standard 22" barrel, maybe 1800 for a loaded
My guess was $1400, but I'm always low. I think your estimates are good. Loaded will be $2100, or more for show prices.

How do I become an anime deviant? Is there a link to gun cat girls or something? /out/ is all faggy with yuru camp shit, it is so boring.

Henlo friends.
I want a .308 rifle that's on the lighter side so I can hunt comfortably with it. I am also a graduate student and therefore poor. Any recommendations on how to start narrowing things down? I've got a bit of choice paralysis since there's so many options and I can't find a way to meaningful distinguish between all the different AR chassis for example.
I was going to some shops locally but they just have whatever random shit there and comparing prices online only the handguns are reasonably priced; the rest it's better to buy online and pay an FFL transfer fee.
Is >>64282187 accurate? Some of the prices seem much too high but I don't really know. Any other major platforms to know about?

>>64285951

I think it's a bit dated and the R1 should be subbed for the FNAR. $1300: https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/fn-rifles/used-fn-america-fnar-308-20rd-ar-10-3108929262.cfm?gun_id=103254936

Fellas, gunshow anon reporting back in. I sold my M1 carbine for 1,100 to a private individual. A little less than I was hoping for, but I used the funds to buy this 1993 NM M1A. It came with 8 mags, a sling, incorporates USGI parts, and is glass bedded. I don't think today could have gone any better.

>>64286101
>1993 NM M1A
And a trade up.

>>64285951
>Is 64282187 (You) accurate?
I don't think it needs to be. Gun prices rise and fall all the time, but rarely exceed an upper limit or lower floor. It's a good image for giving the impression of what you can expect at what price points.

>>64285481
>How do I become an anime deviant?

Eww, nm.

Any thoughts on the Ruger SFAR?
Seems like it's anything but aesthetic, but quite functional and light, particularly for the price. Gun shop I went to said they just sold theirs though so I'd have to come back next week to fingerfuck one.

>Any thoughts on the Ruger SFAR?
Had some quirks with the gas settings. All the problems early in release involved the gas not being high enough. That's what happens when you use an AR15 adjustable gas block on an AR 10. It's been fixed by now... probably.

>>64286752
Its fine.
The stock gas system doesnt have granular enough adjustments for .308.
Ive got mine replaced with a pinned riflespeed.
The stock it comes with, I forget which one, is just about the most narrow magpul makes.
I swapped mine with a vltor I had lying around.
I still need to swap and test different spring and buffer weights, but with these mods it has tamed the recoil to an acceptable level.

>>64286365
I still paid $600 for the M1A, but it came with all the mags and a sling, so I'm quite pleased.

I know this /brg/. What the fuck is wrong with people? Is everyone making 6 figures these days or taking on loans they can barely afford? Especially when it's a redneck part of Wisconsin. Sorry for ranting, I need to vent.
>>64286101
Ah you're that anon from the other thread that I convinced to buy the M1A over the aug. Good for you, and I'll feel bad for the sucker who paid 1100 bones on a boomer tax rifle. I don't understand the appeal of M1 carbines.

>>64288184
>I don't understand the appeal of M1 carbines.
I feel ya there. I can't help but like them, but so far, I am 3 for 3 for them being disappointing. Unreliable, and the parts like to break. I did sell that carbine with a few bandoleers of ammo, so I think it was pretty fair.

>>64288184
>I'll feel bad for the sucker who paid 1100
>>64288254
>I feel ya
Nah. You guys need to let them pay whT they will pay. If $1100 is market price, then good luck to them. They obviously have a different value of money and that's ok, too. The only real time I feel bad is lowballing on a distress sale. That's really taking advantage, BUT the seller doesn't have to accept, so...

Kinda slow ITT

Always keep your guns. Never sell. Never trade. You will have a regret, if you do.

>>64288184
>They want $450,000 for it
>I know this /brg/. What the fuck is wrong with people?
Covid craze inflated prices and no one wants to lose out on money, so they keep pretending their $100,000 home is still worth $450,000. All the economists say we're in a housing bubble, but who knows when things will course correct. Could be next year, could be 20years.

>>64289978
All the big new battle rifles either fizzled out (Sig Spear) or never made it to market (Perun .308, Beretta ARX 200, Styer DMR). We're also in a bear market, so unless you're making over $38/hr, you're not shooting with any regularity.

>>64290329
>could be 20years.
I can't wait that long.

>>64290338
Fuck, I only make that on overtime.

>>64290452
Hang in there buddy. My last job was $75 on OT, enough to make me want to work a 12hr day!

>>64290329
>Could be next year, could be 20years.
By the looks of it, the market is already falling apart due to amount of houses for sale in my area, hell there's one down the street with 5 acres asking half of mill and it's been on market since the beginning of summer. The crazy thing about that asking price, those fuckers only live in the house for 6 years, yet bought another house literally 15 minutes away to be closer to their friends. I assume they're either loaded or stupid with money.

Back to /brg/, what's a good price for those Armalite Fixed Carry Handle AR-10s, a LGS has one for 1500.

>>64286101
nice
great condition too

>>64282187
FALs can be had for the 900-1300 range if you're diligent enough. I nearly bought another Imbel last night, my current one is getting rebuilt by Randy Kline right now. I guess I'll hold out for an Argy if that NIGGER M604u doesn't beat me to another

>>64291238
Only worth it if it has a decent receiver teebeeh

>>64288184
>Is everyone making 6 figures these days or taking on loans they can barely afford?
Both. That's the problem and nobody including the private equity hedge funds steering the economy (who heavy invested) want to let this fucking bubble pop. I can only play expat for so long as somebody who doesn't drink foreign culture kool-aid

>>64291188
I've learned to never underestimate how stupid people can be. Housing bubble come from somewhere. Trump sweeping out the Biden excess housing tenants is a start.
If we're talking 90s Armalite I just sold mine finally for 1K cash after it sat for 4 months listed 3 places. I wanted 1400 for it originally so 1500 is mega high. There's like no parts compatibility btw between ArmaLite and most AR308 parts

>>64291353
M80 Is still the cheapest true full size rifle round out there, if your battle rifle doesn't dent brass running a brass catcher on your gun isn't a bad idea as you can reload 7.62 NATO with a hand press even.

Took my new AR10 to the range today and had a nice chat with an old fella shooting an M1A. Good times.

>>64291674
Always good shooting with good company.

>>64291807
Don't be weird about it, anon. Just two dudes admiring each other's battle rifle.

>>64291353
>308 is a rich man's Caliber now. Won't budge from 70 cpr
With the ammo factories pumping out ammo for israel and ukraine, I wrongly assumed ammo prices would drop due to supply and demand. Prices aren't dropping and I feel like I was played. We're making more ammo and guns year over year, but prices have only risen slightly, no dropped. I want off Mr. Bone's wild ride.

>>64291238
You don’t mean Randy “the sledgehammer” Kline who charges a $110 minimum bench fee do you? In his own word, the FAL was a lowest contract bidder gun, much like any military gun.

>>64292137
Check auctions and local forums, sometimes you get some wild deals from estate sales and stuff.

Damn, dude.

>>64292137
Anon those wars are using up the ammo. You can’t build up a surplus of it if it’s being shot up as fast as it can be made. If the war ends then the demand will drop.

>>64292713
Beautiful MG42, did you build it/have it built yourself? And will do for that range report. I probably will go shooting next week.

>>64293981
They’re very intuitive builds but you’re playing the tolerance stacking game. You’ll experience much pain building your first one. Once you do like three, it becomes as easy as doing an AK or FAL.

>>64294406
I always said it. ...for the Jomon, not Okinawains.

Hello everybody, I just completed my fal build. What do you all think.

Am I missing sumthin'
I was thinkin of going from a 21" Chad barrel to a 18"

>>64294824
I love the CASV rail. I think a sling would do you good, and yeah, shortening it to 18" really doesn't have any downside. I think it looks better with a rail.

hear me out I got an idea

>>64294824
SAW grip is more comfy

>>64295776
Nta, that may be true but it ruins the looks unless you’re tacticooling out your SAW.

>>64295797
>*FAL

Sorry hungover

>>64295533
Sling, ah how could I forget.
>>64295776
I wish I could have one but this is an Inch pattern not a metric. Which is why I wrapped my grip till it fits my hands.

I do like the 21" for longer range possibilities but 18 seems more logical for an all-rounder setup.

A shame it wasn't overcast today, the lighting kind of sucked for pic rel.

>>64296843

>get G3
>get G3 wiafu
You know what's right.

Thoughts on badlands ammunitions new 308 ammo? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Prm6TjW-ro Definitely not a cheap round, but interested in the extra performance you can get out of a 308.

How do we feel about the MURG?

And why 14.5 for 6.5CM?

>>64299945
I'll do my best to make my ancestors proud.
>gf said ouch after shooting my mosin so we'll see how it goes

>>64300521
22-24 is optimal 6.5cr barrel sooo, dum. Its 308 until 700y+ and you're not doing that in a 14.5

Cheapest .30-06 BR, currently $330: https://firearmland.com/item/1126000975
45 minutes, looks great.

I've heard conflicting reports about the Galil Ace Gen 2. Some say Gen 1 was better, some say Gen 2. Does anyone know more?

>>64301859
>$330
Looking like a close at $370. Most here have done these auctions. But for those who haven't. Add in tax, transfer fee, shipping, credit card fee (in ths case 3%) or cashier's check fee (~free to $5 pluss postage) and maybe transport case or handling. So "the price" at auction close can be deceptively lower than actual in-my-hands price. Still, a blue and walnut 54yo Remington that is profiled and controlled like thier 870, 1100 and Fieldmaster (.22 pump). It had a rub mark, but to round out a classic Remington collection like the above listing, would have been nice example. And Clymer made some 10 rnd mags for this, iirc. I may bid on another item on the site fornthe first time, having seen this one sale.

>>64300707
54r is very nice round but kicks hard on a mosin. Same with the UK-59 apparently but less on the DPM or PKM. It’s probably how far the chamber sits from the rear of the gun.

>>64299310
Good, you can go for a c308 if you want a budget build but check the headspace and get some rollers if it doesn’t measure right.

GM hope you have a good hump today

>>64303779
Thx, I'll call my psychic advisor right now and confirm in advance!

>>64302035
From what I heard the Gen 1s have built in irons and more parts are milled instead of stamped or something, Gen 2 is cheaper to make but costs just as much, stereotypes write themselves

Cloudy morning bump.

Guys I’m seriously considering selling my M1A and replacing it with an AR10 build. Am I retarded? I just feel like did the money I could get from selling the M1A I could build a beast of an AR10 that is more practical and more accurate. Talk some sense into me?

>>64313560
Post pic of bookcase titles and I'll talk sense into you after I get coffee.

>>64313640
I don't have a recent one, but those books are mostly the wife's. Mine is a mix of King, McCarthy, Crichton, and Nevill with various noir, thrillers, and westerns mixed in like David Joy, Don Winslow, Jack Carr, and William Johnstone .

>>64313730
Fair eoungh. Dispassionately sepaking, there are a number of reasons to build your AR10 as a second battle rifle. It can hlod a few twists from start to finish, so may not be a weekend build, but not too mysterious. I suggest keeping the M1a and buying your rcvr pair first. Then, as your budget allows, incrementally add the remaining parts. Protip, create a spreadsheet for your build list segregating compatable AR15 parts from AR10 exclusive parts. As a preliminart exercise, this will get you started with your knowledge base. Add n extra lines for acceptable alternates like barrels, triggers and scopes. If you don't want to mount a scope on your AR10, then just stick the M1a irons and forget it.

>>64313815
So here's the thing... when I started punching out past 100y with the M1A I was REALLY let down by its accuracy. It's like minute of paper out past 200 and I enjoy doing more than just shooting steel. So I bought and tweaked a Bergara HMR in 6.5c. It'll shoot sub-minute all day even with cheap ammo.

I kind of just want something in between those two. Something more accurate than the M1A without the heft and weight of a bolt gun. Maybe I'm putting too much faith in an AR10, but my 16" BCM 5.56 upper can shoot 1-1.5 MOA all day long with a 4x ACOG and cheap M193. The M1A can't come close to that and it cost almost double lol.

>>64313876
Kinda apples v. oranges. Innd your state rifle and pistol club and start shooting NRA Highpower with your M1a. Be open to coaching and when you find your 600yrd line-prone position just isn't improving, look for a matched AR10 upper and lower. I would check out V Seven rcvrs. Tl;dr, shoot more, listen to the better scoring guys. Drop the bipod, lol.

>>64313560

Any of you guys use a Burris XTR 3 or Vortex Viper PST gen 2? I'm considering both right now. I was going to get a hilux M40 Mk2 to match the aesthetic of my rifle, but I think I should pick out something a bit more modern and of better quality.

What do you guys think of the modern BAR semi auto hunting rifle?

Afternoon, /brg/. I finally got my beretta fixed to go with my ptr.

>>64329007
Personally, I am all for it and that remains in my top "non-buyers regret" listings. 1st a Browning Safari MK II in .308, 2nd a Browning Safari MK II in .338, both Belgian, both under $700 at 2 separate shows. A nice pair that would have been any-animal-capable for all of the Americas and Europe and most in Africa. Add in a Browning A-Bolt in .25-06 AI and That collection would be done.

Anybody used a Steiner S332 or should the fact that it's discontinued be enough to put me off it?
The fact that they're being sold at significant discount due to being discontinued is what initially put me on it.

He likes the feel of that thick brand name cock. He's devoid of any original opinions and everything he does is based on the pre approval of others. In my opinion, Steiner products are great, but they don't have the bells and whistles of modern cheaper brands that roll out new products every year.

I have a couple Steiner 30mm scope mounts that are ok. I "feel" the brand has been hyped scince the '80s and would chose Swarovski over Steiner everyday.

Would a semi auto rifle have somewhat less felt recoil chambered in 30-06 than the same rifle chambered in .308 due to having a longer action to spread out the recoil?
Given you will be shooting rounds with finctionally similar ballistics and recoil for the sake of comparison of course.

Help me decide on a battle rifle that is not fully proprietary.
It should be able to be fitted with a 16in barrel and 6.5 is a plus.

I've read that the following are good options:
- aero m5 build with 3rd party barrel
- ADM UIC10A
- seekins sp10

The DD5 comes in 16in and is lightweight, but doesn't seem to follow any "platform".

10/10. I wish I got one when I had the chance. There were around 1200 on RTG and that was nearly 10 years ago. Pic rel was when I was messing around and found that a PVS-2 could fit on an ARMS STANAG mount. Not as good though since you can't adjust it at all mounted like this. Starlight scopes are so freaking cool. I am probably going to buy another PVS-2 for my M1A eventually.

Ye when I get it. I was just fucking around with a sadlak mount but realized its pointless without the scope I ordered, or a level, or any actual tools I need to properly install it, so I'm just gonna take it to a shop to have them do it for me. My M1A is already ITT, so I'm just gonna post some M1s I had.

The housings look 100% mint, but I'm not sure what the deal with them was, maybe some kind of refurbishing; the one I picked up at first had some optical bullshit going on (picrel) and half the image was kind of overshadowed, and I only noticed at home.
They make you waive warranty when you pick these up, but I asked Rudolf nicely and he let me pick a different one, still a chill guy even if his market practices got decidedly more jewish over the years.

I saved 1 nox of my 1958 .30-06 Hirtenberger for posterity's sake. I had no trouble shooting it, but did get neck splits (and poor scores...). I doubt I was the cause of the neck splits, I will assume culpability for (some) of the poor scores.

>>64351343
atacr is just the solid go-to option, but leupold, trijicon, and burris make good options as well. I recommend watching this guy:

https://www.youtube.com/@CDOES

I used his videos to choose the atacr for a MK12

buddy of mine wants a G3/HK91 clone, recommended him PTR before knowing of the QC issues since I've been out of the loop. PTR still recommended or are the new CA3's gtg?

>>64350555
I feel like his timeline got a bit muddled on some details. PTR introduced the polymer trigger housings shortly after JLD sold his stake in the company and the management changed. JLD metal trigger housings didn't have the three positions still marked; they polished off the Auto setting and added another stop so the selector couldn't rotate past Semi. JLD also always had a heavy profile barrel with the HK thread pitch; they didn't offer a true G3 barrel profile until PTR INC. introduced the GI model.

>>64282178 (OP)
Alright fellas, STGW parts build guy again. Next year I should have the funds to have the 80% finished and there are at least 2 different people in the upper midwest doing barrels. My sort of heretical question is this:
>I am thinking of asking if I can get the end threaded, and have the brake/flash hider made as a separate piece instead of the 1 piece assembly the original was. The reasons for doing this are 1. if for some reason the brake gets damaged, it would fuck over the entire barrel, 2. would allow me to mount different things (have looked into suppressing it), and 3. should reduce the cost significantly. If it is threaded on correctly, it should look invisible. Am I approaching this with solid logic? Also do any Swissanons know of any potential people I could send the removeable FCU to maybe in Switzerland to have it polished and made to feel really nice? Since it uses pins to attach to the receiver which is the serialized part as far as the US is concerned I probably can send it anywhere I want without difficulties. Might get a butter dish scope mount with a pic rail but that's for later. Thank ye. It's been a weird time in my life with COVID and lack of job ambition repeating the year again and again and again but I really need to move on with my life lmao.

Speaking of, out the box the charging handle is pretty stiff and i noticed a pretty significant amount of metal shavings on the charging handle and within the tube/some on the bolt carrier when removed. There’s a burr on the bottom hole on the tube for punching the charging handle pin, a larger burr/gouge on the interior of the tube, and the pin was walked out enough to bind inside the tube but i hammered it back in place. Should i be concerned about the burrs/shavings or will they iron themselves out during break-in?

>>64282178 (OP)
I saw the new video on 9-Hole Reviews were he shits on modern PTR 91s. I don't have a G3, but it had me thinking: how difficult or expensive would it be to build one from a parts kit? You could have HK original parts, cold hammer forged barrel, a stronger trunnion, etc. Is it worth it? I'm new to G3s so this might be a retarded question.

>>64359395
It is alright, finally went out to the range after far too long and was disappointed with my performance. I'd love to go take my rifles out regularly but nearest outdoor range is a 90 minute drive. Indoor range near me feels like a waste at only 25 yards max.

>>64360212
Holy shit and I think I have it rough driving 35 mins to another state. Fucking range deserts suck shit. When I buy a house there needs to be a minimum of 2 usable outdoor ranges within 40 mins

>>64360517
Nta but it takes me 35min just to get to town, another 20 to get to the nearest range, which is shotgun only, an un-air conditioned 25yd indoor range is an additional 40min from town and has hours long waits on Sat-Sun. If I want to shoot rifles at a distance, it’s 3 1/2 hours to the 600yd steel plate range, or 2 hours and change to get to a suitable desert location.

Hey gang, galilfag here, anyone have a 16 or 18" fal who has input on if they wish theyd gone with the other? im looking at selling my imbel rifle to a friend of mine to buy a para fal. Im stuck between 16 and 18" barrel. The 16 looks way better but ive heard they have reliability issues related to gassing and that the muzzle flash is absurd. I have a 16" scout rifle (picrel) and i can attest to the muzzle flash, but i haven't really heard consistent answers one way or the other on reliability. Just looking for some input before i get one. If anyone in new england happens to have either one and doesnt mind letting me throw a few mags through it email me at Galilfag@protonmail.com. Ill bring the 308 galil to sweeten the pot lol.

>>64363878
Can't speak from experience (I've only had 21" FALs) but I would pick the 18".

>>64360166
As far as I’m aware it’s harder than building an AK, which is in itself very uphill. Precise welds are indicated with a receiver flat and if you’re not used to that level of metalwork it’s better to just go for a PTR-91 or gamble with a Century.
I like my PTR, it just took a while for it to accept tar sealed ammo

>>64363878
>fellow new englander

I have a 16in SA58 and it's ran great with whatever kind of brass ammo I've fed it, even when I've been a little lazy about cleaning and lubing. Only time it's given me trouble is when I've had to fuck with the gas, but I haven't had to do that in 1000~ rounds or so.
I can't say I've noticed the muzzle flash being all that bad, but I also can't say it's something I've really paid attention to.
I'd offer to sell you mine but sadly she's fixed stock, best of luck anon.

>>64363878
Flash isn't bad on the para model FALs. 16" is what you want for peak compactness and weight savings. There's the pistol FAL option but those don't save much on weight and you get extreme flash with awful blow back concussion.

>The 16 looks way better but ive heard they have reliability issues related to gassing and that the muzzle flash is absurd
If they are, they don't exist on video cause I've never seen a Para FAL that didn't work, that was made in the last ten years. Your two options are a complete og manufacturer's Para FAL or a new dsa Para FAL. Stay away from the various imported parts build FAL that were frankenstein'd together.

After discussion with one of my other gunsmith friends, im just gunna convert it over to a para fal instead of selling and buying a new one. Seems like the reliability issues I heard of were primarily from people chopping 21" barrel fals to 16" and not enlarging the gas port. Im probably just gunna go with a 16" barrel. If i really hate the muzzle flash ive been considering caving and getting a suppressor anyway.

>>64363005
If it had stayed as the standard for heavy combat in Vietnam it would have a more negative reputation than it was left with, it's just that the xm16s rushed into production with hot ammo given to troops with minimal familiarization spelled disaster in 1967. The M14 though had its own set of issued, certainly would've been outgunned by AK47s when they took over as the main combatant weapon.
>>64363878
I hope your not thinking of selling the Imbel to get a DSA. DSA parts like the Para top cover and springs suck. 18" definitely on a FAL. The real 50.63 are 17.2

>>64371026
Yup, I have a friend who owns a gun store who specializes in selling parts kits and milsurp parts among actual milsurp and normal guns. Im gunna take stock of my parts and decide if i wanna build another fal or if not he said hed buy them off me to put in his store as a partial kit
>>64371034
yeah i totally could
>>64373050
Im wrong handed so i dont think it should be an issue with the stock hitting my hand. I mainly want it for hiking and camping trips. I do a lot of backcountry hiking and XC skiing and NH is one of the most densely forested parts of the country. Having a folding stock off trail has been a benefit i didnt know would be as useful as it is. Thanks for the heads up on the DSA top covers. Ill be using a railed top cover on this one anyway and i have an acquaintance who hasnt had any issues with his railed cover.

STGWanon back again. Got bored and browsed GB, saw someone selling NOS barrels. Never heard of them, but checked the website. Had a pleasant conversation with the owner. He's supposedly getting some more NOS barrels in soon. 2 different grades depending on how much original finish you want. Got the last of the best grades. Here is the website, I am not shilling but it is only fair to share resources https://proteusarmaments.com/

Lots of people lately making modern barrels for them including someone who actually does do threaded muzzles/flush mounted brake/flash hiders but it's a weird barrel to get right on an individual level. Will probably pick up a few barrels if I ever get this built since those are the hardest parts to replace.

As of now, I finally have all the parts to make the STGW57, just gotta find someone to do the trunnions, receiver, and barrel, but outside of the receiver she will be 100% all original parts, all matching outside of the barrel. Very excited!

Save up your money and get one. XCR are great rifles, their only down side is that they're a little heavy, but Robinson Arms have continually updated the base design, making minor improvements over the decades. You might think that small minor improvements aren't much, yet that's what you want. When you have a system that works, you don't fuck with it and create new problems.

XCR are also fairly priced. Scar 17's used to be $2,800 when they released, but new ones go for $3600. XCR on the other hand were around $3,000 but can be found on sale for as low as $2,200.
