Gratuitous Reposting Edition!
Since the last one died a premature death, let's crank up the old /brg/ again.

That Namibian handguard makes me want to buy a PTR.
>>30403311
Hello mr FBI
Why do you want me to post my guns?
>>30403094

>>30403344
I love it. Someday I'll get the stock too.
>>30403363
what kind of gun is this and why do people like it so much?
Can I play?
>>30403411
8mm?
>>30403411
I guess so. Previous threads have stated that DMRs are mildly on-topic, so I don't see why not.
>>30403374
>>30403411
Where do you live and is that an automatic? Is it registered? Where did you get it?
>>30403446
why do you people like them so much? seems like every other /k/fag has one
>>30403467
cheap .308 semi-auto. FAL and SCAR is better.
>>30403417

>>30403546
How's about you post your BR in /brg/ for once?
I got a chance to hold a Century FAL at a gun show today. It was a lot lighter than I expected, although that was without a mag in. Are all FALs about that weight?
Going to try out my first hand loads on Wednesday, here's to hoping I don't kb my poorfag trainer rifle.
>>30403558
Rhodesian slang for commie niggers.
Named after the fact that they flop on the ground when shot with a 308.
is the hakim a BR? 8mm mauser.
>>30403757
ayup.
Paras tend to be lighter.
DSA with aluminum lowers lighter too, who knows what that CAI lower was made from.
>>30403842
Well, the garand counts so I guess the Hakim/AG42whatever count as well.
>>30403793
Please keep us posted, anon.
>>30403411
Not in that configuration.
Got a new PTR, sounds like there's a piece of plastic rattling around in the fucking hollow stock
Any preferred methods to removing the buttpad? I don't know if Atlantic glues theirs in

'Cause it's cheap.
>>30404262
Stick the buttplate in a vise, then pull on the rest of the rifle.
>>30404296
Whatcha got cookin' tonight, Baker Boy?
>>30404333
Nothing. Hoping when I get home tomorrow that I'll have enough ripe raspberries to make a torte.
Thought about putting together an SBR in a backpack to keep in the car in case getting home from work becomes the mog mile. Was thinking SCAR 16, then realized, oh wait, I have a short gas action .358 winchester FAL barrel under the bed and needs a home.
So im going that route.
Anyone have any clue where I could find reloading data from T/C pistol shooters? Trying to get an idea if I should keep the barrel at ~13" long or if cutting it down to 11" would shave off to much velocity. I cant find shit.
>>30404446
Check the table toward the end. You don't actually lose that much velocity, on average only like 25fps/inch. The test only went down to 16.5in (for obvious reasons), but the data seems to fit a pretty defined curve.
http://rifleshooter.com/2014/12/308-winchester-7-62x51mm-nato-barrel-length-versus-velocity-28-to-16-5/
>>30404483
Familiar with that. Ive found data for one .308 load down to 6"
.358 is a horse of a different color.
Im probably going to keep it as it is now, easier to cut it later if it doesnt fit in whatever bag im looking to get to cover it up with.
Initial idea was to not SBR it.
Make it as short as possible that with a pinned KAK flashcan that it would be 16", SBR it later, get it cut and install a 9mm lantac dragon.
Think next month ill just order a DSA forged reciever and start the paperwork now. Should be able to have the stamp by the holidays-ish.
Also want to play around with loading up some 9mm bullets in a .358, see what kind of velocity I can get.
>>30404532
I feel like .358 would suffer even less than .308 from a reduction in barrel length, simply because of the fatter bore. You could probably do an OSW job on it and still have a very capable weapon.
>>30404615
OSW comes in 11" or 13"
IIRC the barrel is like 13.3" or something like that. And yeah, the extar bore volume would make it suffer less than .308 from the chop.
Ill just have to set up a chrony and see what im getting after its all said and done. I didnt put the gas block on, the guy who made the barrel for me did (Shilen blank), removing it would make getting the chop/rethread done much easier for the smith, cheaper for me, and more likely to have the threads concentric. Some FAL gas blocks require acts of god to get off.
>>30404711
Mine only took a bath in gasoline, some WD40, and a blowtorch before it came loose.
>>30404731
I suppose my other option would be to say fuck it, get it cut now, build the whole thing up, dont buy the stock till the stamp comes in.
>>30404765
I think that sounds like a decent idea. Got any notion of what stock you'll put on it once the stamp comes in? Something classic like the para folder? Or do you have something more high-speed-low-drag in mind?
>>30404791
About..... 18 months ago I bought one of the ACR stock adapters. Its been sitting in a cigar box for awhile now. The barrel came in four months ago. I coated it in oil, wrapped it up, and under the bed it went (I have a thing to buying barrels, and then forgetting about them).
I need optics and a sling. Such is life as a poor fag.
>>30404832
I cant say I know that feel
>>30404424
So do you have a garden, or do you pick your ingredients wild?
>>30404832
Well, slings don't HAVE to be expensive. Just grab a 2-point for like $20 and move on.
>>30405369
>Not spending three figures on a sling
>>30405443
Idk what kind of FAL sling would even COST over 100.
>>30404814
Is this your rifle?
Because I'm in love
>>30403411
What is that?
>>30405671
Looks like a Zastava M77 or something.
>>30405910
Actually, looks like an M78
Validate me
Also is PPU safe to shoot through this?
>>30405639
I'm going to be putting an SBR version of that together. Not sure on the color scheme. Green or grey maybe.
>>30406252
Go green.
Then put yellow stripes on it.
>>30406258
>Tell me one thing about thet war.
Just one
>>30406258
Ugh
I've cleaned off too much rhodie paint off FAL parts and mags to ever put any of that shit on.
The other idea I had to get it done up in snow camo
Who else uses a Bren sling with their FAL?
I saw a pic of a RSAS guy with one and tried it out. Works pretty well.
>>30404832
Poorfag here too. Sling is in the mail. Should arrive monday.
Kek I took back that scope and got the damn mags they shorted me. Manager was very pissy. Full of shit too.
Probably buy a cheap vorteck 3-9x and say fuck it. Ive cleaned her up and oiled her a bit and got her running smooth. Planning to visit the range tomorrow.
>>30406360
Yep
>>30406274
The Rhodies would cut the carry handles off their FALs because they'd rattle. They also started painting their rifles with vehicle paint because captured terrorists would tell interrogators that they were easy to spot because of their long, black rifles. They also finally lost because their strategic oil reserves got destroyed, iirc. That and the sanctions.
>>30406286
Have you seen Polenar Tactical's snow FAL? I don't think it's painted, but his wrappings are very aesthetic.
>>30406700
Unpopular opinion time, I love the fal but for some reason because of brazil.
I have no love for rhodesia except like to hear how they operated so hard etc.
The carry handle is a part of the fals identity to me. Like a galils upturned charging handle.
>>30407137
Oh, I love carry handles too. They're so well placed, makes lugging my IMBEL around stupidly easy.
Nor do I bear any love for Rhodesian politics, I just love their effective innabrush tactics with limited resources and their wacky-ass paintjobs and short shorts.
The whole 'army of angry farmers' does appeal to me as a Texan, though...
>>30407036
Not a fan of gun YouTube. Too much gum flapping and video of dudes just shooting.
Was thinking of ponying up the cash to have a nicely done cerakote job done.
I have to go to work. If this thread is still relevant after 18:00, I'll post a picture.

>>30407929
I accidentally clicked on the Vice documentary about Liberia in the recommended videos. It was far more interesting, and had a lot more battle rifles.
I have a FAL that I love, but for some reason I want to also get a wood furniture PTR and throw a collapsible stock in it.
Someone talk me in/out of it.
>>30408351
I mean, Sakuya did it, and he's the resident PTR-hater, so I don't see why not.
Which is better fn fal or g3?
>>30406679

Thanks, im a nofuns, i like the g3 purely on looks.

>>30408511
You bike right, should I get a FJ-09? Or fz
>>30408542
I can understand that. Despite the sheet metal memes, it has the potential to be very aesthetic.
>inb4 gooks
>inb4 airshit
>>30408656
The DMR versions can look nice, IMHO
But the standard models are fairly hideous
>>30408544
isnt the FZ just the sportier(looking) version of the FJ?
im like sure they are like 90% the same from last time i was at the dealership
ask m/o/to for a real meme opinion im only heaviyl versed in dual sports and jap crap cruisers and economy crotch rockets
>>30408656
is she cross eyed?
>>30408709
the dmr version also have the accuracy as a 1k ar10 with the price tag of 5 of them
>>30408709
I've always thought that they look good with a fat handguard and a steel lower. That's the iconic "G3" look, imo. Never much cared for the PSG's looks.
>>30408725
Fuck if I know, I'm just a filthy reposter.
Also, thoughts on the KLR-650? Been thinking about getting one, there are several used in my area.
>>30408750
buy one but dont expect them to be good in any real single track or heavy mud
they are absolutely amazing for commuting and motorcycle camping though i enjoyed mine but would never try using one for real off road again
also the aftermarket is crazy good, parts are cheap, and maintenance isnt ktm tier
>>30408750
I like msg90 look better.
The "iconic" look always looks cheap. But shit, I am not an old school conservationist
>>30408774
Thanks, might pick one up during/after college. Need something that uses less gas than my Tundra.
On an unrelated note, it's looking like I'll need to make another trip to the Evil Empire (Walmart) soon. I'm super happy that mine still stocks ZQI.
>>30408780
That's fair, everyone deserves their own opinion about form and function. That's why /brg/ exists, right?
If I'm looking to get me a good marksman rifle in 7.62/308 what rifles should I look at?
Post your shit and tell me why I should be jealous
>>30408804
Ideally yes.
What /brg/ actually does is argue that your choices of form and function are inherently inferior to my patently superior ideas on the matter.
People who wanted a cheap semi auto .308 who bought a ptr for low price of rifle and mags get lumped together with those that, is there another reason for liking it? Idk. Anyway.
Should we all get along? That would be sweet, but this isn't utopia.
>>30408845
What do you plan on shooting, and how far away will it be.
And what's your budget?
>>30408804
Does your Walmart get a whole lot of it? My Walmart stopped selling it last December.
>>30408845
Get an AR10 or an FNAR. You'll get your accuracy, but sacrifice your swagger.
>>30408860
I like all battle rifles, as long as they aren't C308s. Any dig I make at one of the platforms is pure bantz.
>>30408962
Shit tons. Bought 15 boxes last time. They restock every Wednesday. God bless Texas, Walmart still sells scary assault boolits.
Why haven't we had any M1As yet?
What's the pricing of an FAL right now? Would you go parts kit, Century, or DSA?
There's an L1A1 non-sporter configuration on sale nearby but I've heard bad things about the Century builds before.
>>30409001
Buying a Century FAL is like playing Russian Roulette with a revolver that has 3/6 cartridges, but instead of your skull the gun is pressed against a stack of $800.
If you can afford a new SA58, I'd go DSA. If you want a party, then buy a parts kit and build it yourself or find someone that's built their own. You won't regret it (probably).
DSA Cheapo: $999
DSA SA58: $1500 give or take
Century: $800- $1000 (I've seen them go for more at gun shows, damn rednecks)
Garage: $300- $400 for receiver and ~$400- $600 for a barreled parts kit, plus whatever tools you don't already have. Pre-made garage guns usually go for right at $1000, maybe a tiny bit higher.
Entirely unrelated, but Faker ain't doin' too hot rn. Shame.

>>30409319

Sorry I dont have a related pic. While they make rifles with railz, and they make optics. Their rifles are kinda shitty, and the optics, inferior.

>irons
Hope you have high contrast targets.
If price isnt an issue, get optics that dont give a fuck about being rattled.
If you want to hit man sized targets at 500 yards, you need something that will hold 3moa. Which means pretty much anything that isnt utter, and total shit.
>>30409160
>>30408975
I've heard some awful things about the accuracy of an m1a and it's ability to hold zero. Is this but hurt fanbois or is there truth to it?
>>30410066
Haven't owned one, but the general consensus seems to be that they're capable of being VERY accurate, but it's also very, very hard to keep them accurized.

Looking to buy a new battle rifle. I already own a ptr91.
I'm leaning towards an m1a. Is there any reason I should get a m1 garand or fal instead?
Not enough of these in the post. Let's fix that. Scope removed b/c my rings wouldn't hold zero. Will have to get new scope rings.
>>30410995
What wood is that stock?
>>30410995
Who made the mount?
What level of customization exist for the fal? Are there aftermarket triggers?
If I go th ar10 route, what is a good rifle to look at?
2k is my spending limit
>>30411040
GI issue walnut. It you notice an opening between the wood and receiver above the trigger, that's where the fire selector would be on a full auto rifle.
>>30411130
I don't remember. I think it's a standard issue scope mount. It's heavier than it needs to be. There are better out there. Check Springfield Armory. I think they have some.
>>30411196
You might want to check the mount and not the rings. M14 mounts are notoriously prone to shifting.
>>30411402
I did. I'm sure it's the rings. They were made for a Weaver rail and that's a Pic rail mounted. I tried to make it work but they came loose while shooting.
>>30411447
Oh, yeah, that will do it.
>>30411163
A few companies make FAL accessories and aftermarket parts. Magpul, DSA, and Vltor (I think) to name a few, but there are others. You can trick out your rifle pretty hard.
Idk about aftermarket triggers, but there are plenty of people who do trigger jobs on their FALs to lower the pull weight.

Ahh, the CETMEME rifle. I was wondering when it would appear.
>tfw part of the club now.
It was dirty as fuck from the previous owner shooting a couple hundred rounds through it without cleaning it and then I put 100 rounds of assorted steel case (40 tula, 20 wolf, 20 brown bear, 20 silver bear) with zero malfunctions. Traded my PSA/Anderson AR for pic related, 10 full CETME mags all with brass cased .308, a few empty CETME mags, a brick of .22lr, the case for the papoose and a couple spare mags, and a chicom chest rig.
What claw mount get? This has the recoil stop block and I kinda want to put a red dot on it.

Some tools, like a decent vise and a receiver wrench (among others) are necessary. It's not AR-tier Legos or anything, but it's not super hard like an AK or HK build. Most parts kits will include all the shit you'll need expect the upper receiver. If there isn't a barrel, then you can buy blanks from plenty of folks.
>>30419245
actually half pole exactly
>>30419400
basically
>>30419704
nice cuts
>>30420511
holy fuck did you take that picture with a PTR?
also nice motor oil / racist paint master race
>>30421619
the ar platform is pretty insulting to the ar platform
>>30421911
its easier than an ak harder than an ar
and i dont mean lego ar lower on upper i mean setting the extension and building the upper and lower from parts
>>30420658
it amazes me people will try and argue the scar is not the best battle raifu. like have they never shot one before? they blow everything else out of water by a large margin
>>30421943
Shit, meant *except. Sometimes parts kits will come with a receiver stub still on the barrel, so unscrewing that can get a little hinky.
>>30421944
Not taken with a PTR, I just used like 7 different filters from insta for the giggles desu.
>>30421943
Ok cool i can probbably get the tools from my friend.
>>30421944
Sweet dude.
The biggest hurdle i might have to jump is making my FAL SAFE compliant, which sucks. Im gonna try and find a parts kit
>>30421994
SAFE? Enlighten me, my google-fu is lacking (I'm a lazy asshole).
I need a longer LoP for my Cetme-C. Does anyone make an adjustable stock for under $300 or that aluminum tri rail for under $300?
>>30422005
SAFE Act = NY state nannystate gun grabber BS law.
>>30421965
I used to think gays were classy until you posted your life in pictures
>>30422005
Gelded for ownership in Jew York.
>>30421944
There are a few ways one could favor an AR10. And these are subjective. They have a bigger aftermarket (barrels in particular), they can have a longer recoil impulse (but more recoil), they can be a little more accurate (until the last/car comes out).
That is about it, and even then it's filleting red cunt hairs.
>>30422027
Nobody's forcing you to look at em, senpai-a-lam. I'm just posting BR pics in the BR thread.
Sides, I ain't even gay, I just put on my shitposting socks and snap pics like a madman. Sakuya is our resident homo.
>>30422051
I thought you were him, sorry. all you gays look the same to me
>>30422051
>Braided leather belt
You sure your not gay?
>>30422005
Pretty much this for me
NO:
high capacity magazines
Pistol grip
Barrels less than 18''
Bayonet lug
Removable muzzlebrake
Folding/collaspable stocks
I think i covered everything.
>>30422055
Eh, just try to remember that my FAL is far more disgusting than his. I pride myself on this fact.
>>30422075
That one isn't me, I think it's T-Rex/BakerBoy/WeaverLad.
>>30422083
Tragedy. Well, at least the FAL bayos don't use lugs. They just snap onto the barrel device.
>>30422089
So to skim around the restrictions to build my FAL, I most probably installing a spur grip, bullet button and possibly a permanent muzzle device. Wish me luck cause i gotta do a lot of research
>>30422149
Not a bullet button. Fixed mag, stripper clip dust cover or optic mount.
>>30422149
Will they let you just tig-weld a muzzle break, like how they did with AWB FALs?
>>30422199
They silver soldered in the awb
>>30422205
Mb, but you get the idea, right?
>>30411171
I had to mend that issue on my stock with a little filler
>pic related
Good ol Fulton Armory
>>30422640
asked an oldster a long time ago how you could tell the rifle was on FA or semi
"Pull the trigger and you'll find out really quick"
>>30421944
Half white half pollack and 100% pretty fucking gay
>>30422640
ooOOOH! I need one of those! With rings.
>>30422640
50 bux to look cool
have you ever shot a FA M14 they are dank af
>>30422033
as a DMR sure battle rifle ill believe it when i see it
>>30422492
Silver soldering or pin and weld will get around threaded muzzle laws
>>30422874
Looks natty to me
>>30421911
You'll be lost when it comes to finding the right size locking shoulder which varies and doesn't usually come in kits.
>>30423916
Easy to order
>>30409319
get an Elcan SpecterTR
Have plenty of 5.56 and Milsurp rifles, but I've been looking at that 18" M1A as my first battle rifle. As far as M1A's go it seems the best for me,but I know next to nothing on PTR's. Everywhere I read I see so many mixed views.
Thoughts, opinions, recommendations?
>>30425560
What's your budget?
>>30425590
Bout $1400, but cheaper is always better.
>>30425670
What is your primary concern with the weapon?
>>30425749
With the PTR or M1A? I've read some bad things on reliability and accuracy with the PTR. But from what I've learned with AR-15's over the years is the amount of total BS some people post on forums.
The M1A I've read nothing really bad on, it's only a matter if it's worth the price.
While I love the M1A's appearance, if I can have a rifle as reliable and as accurate for hundreds less I'll take that.
>>30425839
I should explain a bit more with the PTR. One of the accuracy issues that kept coming up was how quickly groups opened up.
But honestly I have no idea how any battle rifle handles heat issues with the barrel.
got some more racism in today
>>30425560
all you need to know is that PTRs are poorfag tier
>>30425670
just get a walnut springfield
>>30425839
yeah but who wants shitty sheet metal over walnut and good looks
>>30425882
ever hear the saying two pump chump?
New to /k/, pls no hate
Where do I buy a sick m14 or Mosin so I can pretend to be a revolutionary in the woods?
>>30426058
Dumb fags are really cute.
That means yes on the heating issue then?
>>30425839
Werest I thou, I wouldn't be worried about PTR reliability as much as the M1As.
Between the two, M1A has superior aesthetics and accuracy potential (potential being the key word here). However, an AR10 could probably beat either of those in the accuracy department.
*insert shill for FAL*
>>30426236
buy an FAL so you can pretend to be a commie-killing badass
>>30426393
Desu this senpai
>>30426359
>>30425839
I'd get the PTR over the M1a. They'll have relatively the same accuracy unless you pump a bunch more money into one or the other. The PTR will have better reliability.
>>30410920
FAL. Safety inside trigger guard always has triggered me.
>>30426391
>>30426666
Thanks for the input.

It's a $900 hunk of sheet metal and plastic that runs on Teutonic brutality. Mine is decently accurate (2-3MOA) with cheap blasting ammo (MKE, Silver Bear, etc.) though all of the big three have relatively lightweight barrel profiles so their accuracy under sustained fire will suffer. Recoil impulse is not as bad as some people make it; more of a shove than a kick. It weighs about 10-10.5# loaded, which isn't great but welcome to the Cold War. Despite being 60 years old it looks like it should be blasting xenos in the 41st millennium.
Overall 10/10 would buy again.
>>30426666
I own a PTR a3R and a Springfield M1a standard 22"
The PTR groups about 3-4MOA with gold medal match ammo, the M1A groups 2MOA with it.
Is that inch at 100 yards worth $300+? Probably not. I also may have a lemon of a PTR, or a decent M1A. That's my personal experience with both models, though, as someone who owns both.
Also if you call PTR about warranty work they'll do their best to talk you out of it.

>Despite being 60 years old it looks like it should be blasting xenos in the 41st millennium.
Holy fuck, I've been trying to figure out why I like the G3 aesthetics so much and I think that's probably a big reason why.
Fuark these threads make me wanna get an FAL. Aesthetic shit.
>>30407945
is that a hogue grip?
>>30423977
Once he figures out the size, yeah.
>>30427227
>aesthetic shit
*shit aesthetic
>>30404333
Nice thighs ;)
>>30404333
a jew with a rhodie gun
imagine that
So is there an actual difference in quality between the HK 91 and the PTR 91? Or is it more of a collectors thing?
>>30428303
collectors thing
also the hk's have a superior barrel but that doesn't really matter in realistic terms and they are all used anyway
