Are you illiterate? It's showing .308 in comparison to .223. It's says fucking ".223 used in AR15" and then "308 used in both these guns"
>>30520638
It says scar, not scar 17

Pic is inaccurate, the M1A in its standard configuration is banned. I know this because it was made illegal right before I was going to buy one.
I was gonna order Atlantic Firearms' PTR91 GIR package but then the website went down and now everything's out of stock because of Orlando panic-buying faggots.

Atlantic doesn't take SNAP cards?

I recently got set up with a credit union and they don't do online payments/transfers without the card, so my paypal is empty so it wouldn't have mattered.

CA...life is suffering.
But on a side note, while the Riger Mini 14 has an all stainless steel option, why dosen't Springfield offer a full stainless M1A not just the barrel?
>>30521606
>>30521822
No demand for it
M1a buyers want steel and wood rifles.
I don't think there is any stainless BRs, maybe an AR10 receiver set, maybe
>>30522025
>Being not-retarded is autism!
Sorry, retard, that's not how it works.
>>30522037
A Stainless M1A scout would be a sick fishing boat rifle.
Right now I'm thinking my only option is a marine cote 590A1
>>30522068
There are some bolt guns you could look at.
>>30520826
LOL
>>30522066
>There are SCAR rifles made in .308 and .223
Your getting full on mad over a picture not having both the 16 and 17 picture. Let that sink in. Your getting your jimmies rustled over it.
>>30521131
More like illiteracy.
>>30520448
Holy fuck you're dumb
>>30522126
What are you even on about?
The picture shows two guns chambered in 308 (or at least close enough) and you're sperg fergusing over the fact that SCAR16s exist -- yeah, they exist, but they're not in the picture and they have no relevance to the discussion.
So knock it off, retard.
>>30522215
The text says SCAR
Not SCAR 17
Just SCAR
>>30522228
Still doesn't make it wrong
>>30522228
but the *picture* is a SCAR17.
and the picture *says* it's using .308 rounds
because it's being compared to the M1A.
The existence of the SCAR16 has no relevance to the picture. Dumbass.
>>30522228
What is inductive reasoning?
>>30522228
you are a fucking mong, it's obviously a SCAR 17 just admit that you are a fucking tard and move on
>>30522271
>>30522292
Akchuawly, it's a SCAR-H (Mk17 Mod0) with a poorly photoshopped birdcage flash hider.
The SCAR-H, SCAR 17, and SCAR 17S are all different rifles according to FN - each with their own separate serial range.
All of them however are SCAR's. So the OP image is not incorrect.
>>30522365
>It's a SCAR-H, not a SCAR-17
and you deduce this from the right side of the gun... how?
>>30522434
Because it's standard FN marketing material. The most common and likely used of which is the SCAR-H with the AAC 18T MITER flash hider.
It initially appeared to be photoshopped to appear ban compliant (compensator instead of evil flash hider) however upon further examination I've discovered the original source material dating back to the announcement of the limited edition SCAR-17S package.
So this is in fact a SCAR-17S (albeit still photoshopped) yet my point about the separate nomenclature and serial sets for each remains standing.
>>30522434
>auto selector
>>30521148
>SNAP card for a PTR
Fucking epic
>>30521084
Not actually. What is banned is a muzzle break, not a muzzle brake.
Which got that provision struck down by a judge, though I think the last court overturned that judgement.
>>30523269
>Muzzle break
Why would I want to break the end of my barrel?
should I get an AR10 or an M40?
>>30523544
What's the budget and the goal ?
>>30523286
To get more wobble per bullet and kill whole classrooms of babies I assume. Why else would you want a deadly assault weapon.
>>30523925
>M40, bolt action rifle
>Deadly salt raifu
>>30523544
It depends on the price really. An M40 will outshoot a cheapshit AR-10, but a good AR-10 will be pretty much as accurate and with the benefits of being an AR.
>>30523672
>>30524353
hopefully under 2 grand
I want to shoot far
>>30524410
If your going to buy rather than assemble, probably the boltgun route.
If your going to assemble, AR10
Either way, I hope your not including optics in that $2k. And if you want to go far in .308 type gun, get it in 6.5 creedmoor
>>30520430
What's a good place to find an M1A at a decent price?
shoulder thing that goes up was ordered yesterday, and bayonet lug soon...
>>30521131
He's right you fucking retard, read the image again
>>30520430
It's not banned by name, the stock, barrel accessory, and 20round mag are though.
That M1A falls into the same category for the muzzle and the mag.
>>30520430

>>30527150
>SBRing a .308

Nah
>>30527150
Is that a SCAR, or just a FAL riced into the tenth dimension?
>>30527217
Hell yeah. That's my secret "this will be retarded and awesome" dream. Don't shit on my dreams, man.
>>30527221
I feel like this very obviously looks like the latter
>>30527217
That's an 11" bbl
That will be like x39 from a 17" bbl
The can will reduce the rapport
>>30527221
What's the difference?
>>30527221
Riced FAL
>>30527244
>That will be like x39 from a 17" bbl
...which is identical to x39 from a 14" bbl and very close to 11"
>>30527245
Short answer, everything
Well. Mags are almost identical

>>30527245

>>30527264
10" bbl x39 with the accordingly lightweight bullets is doing like barely over 2000fps
150gr .308 with an 11" bbl is doing 2350fps
>>30527216
I got it from ebay but here's the same thing on gunbroker: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/569048821
>>30527287
It's not a normal wide handguard.
>>30527331
10" clocks in around 2100.
>>30520448
>>30520659
>>30527333
At an extra 130 I dont think I care that much
>>30527287
Will the bipod work with the standard PTR slim handguard?
>>30527394
No it won't since the mount is on the wide handguard itself.
>>30527414
the ad you linked says
>looks like it has never been put on a rifle
you can literally see wear and scratches lol
>>30527394
and no
>>30527446
Did you also put a PA scope on yours?
>>30527446
I didn't even read the ad. The Namibian furniture is pretty rare and that's about what I paid for mine.
>>30527354
So, with ammo that's 25% heavier, .308 is going to have 250-300 fps faster than a shitty x39.
Correspondingly it will have a MUCH higher BC and SD
>>30527469

A Century L1A1/R1A1 Sporter has like a 30% chance of successfully cycling a round.
In short, frankenFAL a worst. Garage a best.

Hi.
I'm not interested in big shooty rifles, I'm more interested in rifles with a historical context.
I was thinking of getting a mauser. But I hear that a type-99 would be an ideal bolt-action to own for collection sake. What do you think?
>>30527719
>2016
>still has VCR
Get your shit together
>>30527571
It's almost home
>>30527990
That rifles are tools, and have no historical importance. Outside of something passed down through generations. Old hand augurs were sweet when was a kid and my dad and I were needing to put holes in studs before the AC got ran out there.
These days I use my Milwaukee.

>>30528149
>and have no historical importance
>Durr durr tools
I understand, entirely. The rifle is a tool. You're not wrong, but I find your callous dismissal of the significance imbued in some tools to be completely fucking close-minded.
We as a society like to have relics, whether they're old machines such as an old Model-T, or a fucking forged silver cross in a church. We'd be better off if we had relics with actual context to remind us of the past. People like you would see all that shit thrown away and turned into modern tech. Then how the fuck do we know how far we came?
My uncle is a metalworker and a motorhead. Always has been. The dude can weld like no one's business, and he's the go-to for many people for anything dealing with fabrication. His great-great-grandfather was a fucking blacksmith, who had to make his own tools to work.
My uncle's got several of those tools. Do you know where they are? They're on display in the house, with a little information card explaining what each was used for.
>Hurr durr, why you have that Mosin? Just get a .308 AR and get with the times.
>>30528245
Considering an nvidia 1080 isn't consistent at hitting 60hz at 4k, yeah I'll manage with 60, until 144hz 4k displays come out, which would almost saturate DP bandwidth

Not really the right thread... BRG is for automatic and semi automatic weapons firing full size rifle cartridges, not for bolt guns.
...But IMO the Type-99 is one of the more interesting adaptations of the mauser action. Just get ready to either pay silly prices for 7.7JAP, or get ready to reload.
>>30528028
Don't insult my VCR-fu.
>>30530333
>Not really the right thread... BRG is for automatic and semi automatic weapons firing full size rifle cartridges, not for bolt guns.
All because I posted a fucking Enfield while calling that other guy a retard.

Shit, my bad. >>30530333 was meant for >>30527990, not trying to hate on your post, mang. I agree though, other guy is a bit of an idiot. Dismissing historic value in a tread centered around three of the most antiquated service rifles still fielded is the height of folly.
What color do I cerakote my scar 17s upper for maximum /BRG/ shitposting? I want to go with a solid color, no camo.

You should check the milsurp general thread if there's one up, they will probably recommend a Yugo M48 Mauser if this is going to be your first milsurp gun other than a Mosin. A k-31 is another good recommendation, and type-99's are also actually very good rifles (I know several people who think they're the best bolt rifle of WW2) but ammo for them can be expensive.

>>30537227
do mauve
>>30537300
Cerakote NRA blue is pretty close too.
There isn't a strict color palate chip that is the definitive color. FN is known for not giving a shit over color matching. But that anodized blue is pretty tight.
>>30526841

Barrel, fit, finish etc. think of the GI as a plain jane budget AR-15 while the more expensive models are better built, nothing wrong with the GI model, I have one myself and love it. I just know that there are better quality PTRs out there
>>30538816
I think that more expensive PTRs have a powder coat finish and/or a bull barrel, while the GI is parkerized and has an original HK profile barrel.

The A3R from atlantic has the powder coat finish and the HK profile barrel
>And if mine is any indication it doesn't group for shit
I'm probably just shit, though... Does anyone else feel like the G3 platform is just hard to shoot well?
>>30539089
I can't quite pull it off like this guy
>>30539128
Hence the and/or. The really expensive PTRs like the FR or whatever it's called have both, and those are like the same price as a proper SA58 (i.e. not a Voyager).
The G3 has funny recoil imo, but it's not worse than other BRs (SCAR 17 aside). It's just more of an awkward shove instead of a kick.
>>30539226
>but it's not worse than other BRs
Yeah, it kicks much more softly than my m1a, it's gotta be related to the billion pound return spring and how fast the action operates.
Why are there so many "battle rifles" these days being made with 1in10 twist rates? I just want a PTR and DS58 with good old 1in12 twist rates so I can use military bulk ammo. Fucking hell. I don't want a DMR, I want a hard nosed, bayonet equipped lead sprayer. If I want to stablize 175gr bullets, I'd get a bolt gun.
Also, I am hoping to one day get my hands on M993ap. These bullets are 125gr, so I REALLY want a legal BR in that can stabilize the vast majority of military ammo.
Sorry for sperging there.
>>30539704
I should clarify that both PTR and DSA are making their rifles with the ridiculous 1in10 twist rates these days. The M1A at least is 1in11. Also, I would like to purchase a BR for under 1k which is why the PTR being in 1in10 twist rates, is very annoying.
>>30539704
Get a SCAR, its 1:12
The reason why is that people have been told that you need 1:10 to shoot the 175gr pills, so they go that route.
>>30539735
>under $1000
fucking poorfags
Get an FNAR, its 1:12
>>30539777
>175gr meme cartridge
All the good military ap/barrier blind ammo is light. Hence why ALL military 7.62NATO MG's and BR's are all in 1in12 twist. Even sniper rifles still maintain a minimum 1in11.25 twist.
Also, the cheapest bulk ammo for .308/7.62NATO are 155gr to 145gr.
>>30539900
>Actual defense of light grain cartridge loadings
Neat
>>30539900
both M21 and M25 sniper rifles had twists under 1:11.25
>>30540233
Yet not the 1in10 that really is only popular for one god damn cartridge: the 175gr SMK.
>>30541892
>That much extra effort to turn an M1A into a bad SCAR clone
>>30542770
I like the SAGE stock, I think it looks cool. Yeah yeah, it' makes an already heavy rifle even heavier, but it's not like my M1A was anything other than a range queen to begin with.
>>30542770
it's in no way a SCAR clone, pretty much the only thing they share common is caliber
Never thought about buying one of these before.
Are M14s hard to come by?
>>30543075
You can find Springfield's M1A's at most gun stores, they're just expensive because it's them and like, three other manufacturers making semi auto repros.
>>30543075
Easy to buy, hard to maintain (by modern standards)
What is the best rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm/ .308 that can be purchased for under $1500.

>Hard mode: Semi Auto
How that fuck is that hard? Are you new to guns?
Nogunz here, is there any difference between the more modern looking military rifles and the older wooden ones? Besides the ability to accessories?
>>30544211
They'll put the same calibre holes in the same targets if that's what you mean, but the actions of each gun can vary greatly.
>>30544229
Are the older ones still semi auto? Or more frequently bolt action? Which are cheaper? Easier to maintain? Or are these questions to vague? Sorry for question dumping, your guys' sticky doesn't have any info links or anything
>>30544246
All battle rifles are semi auto, this is a battle rifle thread. Obviously something like a SCAR which was designed very recently with modern materials is easier to break down, clean, and lube than an M1A which traces it's design back to the 1930's. Battle rifles are expensive guns, a SCAR17 will set you back a few thousand, an M1A about $1500
>>30544246
How old are we talking?
Infantry had commonly issued semi-auto rifles since WW2, with rifles like the Garand and SVT. Modern furniture usually means lighter weight to carry (solid wood is heavy) and, sometimes as you mentioned, the ability to "accessorize".
Bolt actions have been common up to and including WW2 though.
