Unironically this gun has reignited my passion for BRs and guns in general.
It kicks like a mule, but has nearly no muzzle rise (?) and the entire gun just feels like it was made with an extra level of detail/care, like a semi-custom shop pistol that is non-existent anymore. Not to mention all the swiss army knife details like the captive takedown pins, swiveling trigger guard, etc.

Gross. Not a BR.

What is the difference between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Galil? There is a Gen 2 on GB with a starting bid for 2k, and a Gen 1 with a buyout for 2.25k but it looks like the owner put some money into it. Or maybe I just don't know any better because I think Galil's with their regular furniture are fucking hideous.

With some oldschool glass it would be a real kino Arctic circle rifle.

Not that anybody here cares, but I almost want to go out and shoot my SL7 lil' bro, SL6 today. So I did a search and found the Alcor as an SL6 equivalent. Oh sure, the Mini-14... yuck. Here's the Mr Rodgers version of gun reviews, USOG on the Alcor: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-k0fOLrsis
Just so comfy a reviewer. Unless you want provacative and controversial, unsupported opinions. He qualifies everything he says with "mine, for me" exceptions. I just trust he shoots more than /arg/onauts who scream

Someone who knows more than me, feel free to call me retarded, but here is what I understand:

It's a SCAR clone that is apparently better than the SCAR because FN is retarded. It's also very reasonably priced when you consider it's a SCAR clone. That said, for the price, you could buy a PTR and a SA58. I guess it depends if you want a gun designed this century or two guns designed last century.

Anyone got experience with Aussie L1A1 (Lithgow FAL) ?

There is very little information about the Australian L1A1 production and their quality and differences from standard L1A1. They come with wood furniture in stock configuration which is nice.

I've got a chance to buy one for like 1000USD in my cuntry but am not decided. Original FN Fal or british L1A1 are double the price which I am not really willing to spend.

Aussie L1A1 have different lightening cuts on upper and lower receivers from the british rifles, other than that it's the same stuff. To my knowledge, parts interchange with british rifles.

Depends on the receiver. Imbel or Argy take it and run for the hills. Jesse it depends majority of them are crap but some in fact do run. Honestly 500 for L1A1 parts is pretty good deal if the receiver is crap, but that's my 2 pennies.

It's a repackaged clone of the Stoner 63/M96, the dude who owns the company is literally life-long obsessed with the design.
He sold these for years to a niche of other Stoner/'Nam-era enthusiasts before coming out with the XCR, which is basically just a modernized version of the design.

It's not a bad gun at at all, but it's also not any better than its competitors.
That coupled with the fact that his company is not large enough to reliably service large contracts + being a batshit Mormon who used to go on insane rants about his rifle being ordained by God has basically ensured he will be a niche manufacturer for life.

>>64801164

M96 or the XCR? Skip the XCR, it has not historic relevance and is underwhelming.
The M96 guns he used to make were not totally faithful, but then again they were/are your only realistic chance of getting a 63 to larp in tiger stripe.

>>64801193
The XCR is the improved evolution of the M96? A refined specimen with God's Factory Blessing would be preferred. Not saying WLVRN > MDRX, neither of those for me.

Is a Century Arms imported G3 a good buy for $780? If it might be what should I look out for? The guts look serviceable but crusty. Barrel looks dirty but rifling ok.

According to /brg/ is the criteria for a battle rifle is simply that it uses a full-sized cartridge, is semi-automatic, and it is or can be a rifle platform (you might have to buy a stock/brace) correct? I'm asking because certain configurations of the guns I largely see considered as battle rifles sort of feel more at home in the precision rifle general. It makes no difference to me, but would a gun chambered in 6.5 Creed still count as a battle rifle? What if it's a PRT that has a ten inch barrel?

>>64810410
Traditionally its just a self loading military rifle. I think you're overthinking it a bit.

On a side note does anyone have that video of that boomer arguing with someone from /brg/ about how his savage axis or maybe it was a ruger american being a true battle rifle? I've been looking for it, but I can't seem to find it on yt anymore.

>>64810052
Is it for real an import or a century build? To my knowledge century never imported actual G3 rifles in the past just parts kits they built. Anyway, the C308 is their mostly CETME built rifle and the current CA3 is portugeuse parts. Either can be luck of the draw but I think the CA3 has had better build quality for the most part and $780 is fine for one.

>>64766197

>bobbed
and semple-pilled?

I bought the CETME kit that was on Center Fire a few weeks back. I haven't done a kit before. Does it really just need the flat or am I going to need to source other parts? I go get my guns at an extremely sketchy (and based) gunstore near me in the middle of the worst industrial park you've ever seen. I asked the owner if the knew anyone that did flats and he told me the guys next door (I am pretty sure they're a chop shop, not even fucking kidding), do them for AKs all the time. He said if I get the flat, that I could just leave the kit and flat with him, and he'd take care of it for me.

Is there anything I need to know, legally speaking, about this? It feels... off to just hand an unfinished firearm to a guy (even if he carries an FFL and owns a gunstore) who will just give it to another guy to turn into a working gun, sight unseen. Do the flats even come serialized? Do I need to get this thing serialized? What's the rules?

>>64811124
NTA but you're a bastard. I would have put off buying my FNAR if you had posted in the thread with this deal. I really need the Ifinitech handguard for the FNAR that everyone and their mother wants, but they make like 10 a year or some shit. Maybe I can find someone sufficiently skilled to make a custom handguard for me so I can get away from the horrid design of the regular one.

Definately a post-pocky clips, suburbanite flex on his Land Rover and Tesla owning neighbors. There is a 4x4 '78 Toyota Chinook around the corner that would be 100% better on both gas and parts in availability and accessibility. Even with the canvas side pop-up. Still, winery tours in a walnut paneled lounge could command a premiun, if you want to be DD for drunk elitist tourists.

Here you go without the shitter stuff (weirdly I agree with the edit on the MAS 49/56 though). The FNAR should also probably be on there, because it is a battle rifle, it just doesn't resemble one due to the furniture. Worst part about it is the furniture makes it look like a Fudd Nightmare.

>>64815270
>FNAR should also probably be on there
As I always said. Better than the R1, and the FNAR furniture is no more fudly than a Garand. Plus add the SCAR II and the new semi PKM(?) is on the radar?

There is a big gun show near me this weekend. What should I keep an eye out for? I am sure there won't be shit, but I can at least look.

>>64821441
FAL mags, L1A1 bayonets, HK claw mounts, "rare" coins and buffalo jerky. The first three could be boomer boxed and only go up in value faster than crypto.

>>64821450
Yeah, I was thinking mags, old stock imported to just sit and rot no one wanted, older scopes, might be the only thing I'd find if I looked hard. Anything remotely new is going to have the "I know what I got" premium.

>>64821441
Maybe surplus M118LR, actually at the last gun show I went to I got an ACOG for 400 bucks. Go to one of the booths with tons of random crap at the table. Those are my go tos.

>>64821710
>Those are my go tos
Good call. I have wound up spending time going thru compartment boxes of gun hardware looking for screws, swivels and stuff you just can't find even thru Numrich. It can help to make a cheat sheet of needs. Current need: 2, #6 Fillister head screws, 3/16th long sure, I could just buy 'um. That's not the point.

A long journey finally comes to an end. A STANAG scope (a jap one at that from the same Colt scope company) for my fucking dutch dust cover.

>>64822090
There is a sense of accomplishment associated with the finishline.

Bit of a weird question, but I can’t really internet search the answer. My uncle died and he left me all his guns and various bits, so I’m now in possession of two LMT MWS uppers, a LM8 and a MLOK, and two BCGs, one from V Seven and one enhanced LMT. I would like to build them out. Who makes lowers that can actually be bought and are “good” for something besides a marksman rifle?

>>64822090
At least it's not the weird bulged dust cover

>>64822208
The only lowers I know that fit an LMT are [drumroll]

LMT. They're cut the same way KAC does receivers and to my knowledge no one else mills them that shape, dimensionally they're a bridge between DPMS and Armalite. Double check that V Seven headspaces and closes in either of those uppers first too. 308 ARs are a different, very annoying animal unlike AR-15s; of no standardization, with as much proprietary shit as possible.

>>64822223
They aren’t Armalite A-model?

>>64818066
Enjoy the lizards.

>missed out on the belted .308 at 50 CPR
Why am I indecisive.

>>64822245
Maybe, if you can find just a lower for sale. I recall certain A models having a couple oddities that wont work right with an LMT like the receiver pins being a different size, but I think thats just preban. I just know KAC is the only other sure fit, and a company in nevada makes 80% lowers that fit. SMT or SMF machining I think.

>>64822261
It probably had some retardedly high shipping price anyway. Most of the ammo retailers online get you there.

I got his RFB handguard and it was an utter disaster. He forgot to send half the parts and then only sent a few screws. That, the hand fitting required, and then it falling apart as soon as I tried to put it under any serious use really soured me on him. I put the OEM back on and wrote it off as a somewhat pricey lesson learned.

>>64827007
I appreciate the idea, but I live in a state where the nearest range that is over 250 yards is about 3, maybe 4 hours with traffic from me. I don't (and can't) really see myself ever using something above 5 or 6 magnification. It's why I was thinking the ACOG in the first place.
