Bushmaster .308 takes FAL mags?

[John Kennedy]

I just heard Bushmaster now has a .308 that takes FAL mags! Are these in production yet? Anybody got/seen one?

[recon]

Wholy crap! :eek: They take FAL mags! $5-$10 mags you can't beat that!
www.bushmaster.com :D

Thanks for the link.

They really are finally listening to the people who buy their guns! I never thought I'd see it happen, I'll bet they sell a boatload of 'em!

I just looked at one today at a gun shop in Scottsdale. Massive gun....must weigh 8 lbs or more. Price was $1400.

Neat looking gun.....had OD Green stocks.

:rockin:

[O.S.O.K.]

Anybody know if the barrel is chrome lined? They don't say on their web site...

Ouch! $1400!

Compared to what?:dunno:

i own a fal and know a few guys who do and a lot of those 5-10$ mags are shot, a lot of them dont feed the rounds properly...

the price on those guns are ridiculous and they dont look they great either

Id buy one if it came with the same package as the varmint model .223. That would make a good rival to the SR25.

I'm in the market for a .308 and this Bushy looks good. Any range reports? How's it compare to Armalite? I'm a recoil WUSS - how is that? How's the 16" compare to the 20" in terms of 200 meter accuracy?

Thanks,

if u want to reduce recoil,the longer the barrel the better,plus a shock buffer helps.

The .308 Bushmaster barrel is not chrome lined. I think I will wait until they offer a chrome lined barrel before I spend the bucks to own one.

[Elliot308]

for 1400 i would expect a chrome lined barrel

So has anyone gotten one of these?

I've handled a few. They feel really nice like a typical AR. Too expensive for my budget though.
