My new battle rifle is here

[vit]

Been waiting for this to show up a while now, price has actually more than doubled on Gunbroker since I committed to buy it.
Interestingly, the owners manual covers semi auto and select fire models of the rifle.
Here it is with everything it came with.

Beautiful rifle! :thumbsup:

Should be next to the Mona Lisa. Good for you.

[AKTexas]

That is nice, I was wondering if they took pmags. Range report or is doesn't count.

[vit]

Shit, even Armalite now makes a .308 that takes P-mags.

very nice

Cool, not a bif fan of AR's but, that does look like a nece rifle. I take it, it runs off a piston and has a regulator similar to the sig 550 type rifles?

[imanaknut]

Nice!!!

Notice that it is marked 7.62 NATO and not .308. Is the barrel marked for caliber?

[Schuetzenman]

That's awesome! Good for you to get it just in time. Now getting more mags is going to be the hard part. I feel pretty good with 10 mags for any given rifle but prefer 20. At today's insane prices that could be more than the weapon itself.

I have to move back cause I'm drooling on my keyboard. Nice rig!

DUDE THATS SWEET ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

DAMN I FEEL THAT URGE ! lol

[vit]

Yes, piston driven with adjustable gas system. Barrel marked .308. I only have 6 mags for it, but will wait for prices to go down before buying more.

What did that beauty cost? Very nice!

[skorpion]

Gorgeous rifle! Congrats! Six mags isn't a bad start. It would really suck if you only had the factory mag and nothing else.

Very nice man!



Is it just me or does anybody else question the "smartness" of having a forward assist on a .308?

[Schuetzenman]

$1975 then, not cheap but a lot better than nearly $4,000!

Smartness of a forward assist on a .308. I don't get your concern, never seen a Forward assist cause a malfunction on a .223 AR type weapon, have used it to get some rounds to seat when the chamber started getting dirty. Otherwise you don't use it, doesn't weigh much and it doesn't eat anything.

[vit]

Yeah, couldn't do it when they were 200 bucks less than that, but they have gone over 4k now.

I have a feeling the guys paying twice and three times what they were are gonna be pretty pissed when the AWB doesn't even make it out of committee in the House.....I'm seriously thinking of selling a couple guns.

Better hurry up.

I've seen vids online of guys having AD's by slamming the FA on .223 AR's....there is a wee bit more power in a .308 round. That makes me nervous just thinking about it.

I bet you're rethinking that this morning.
