Really?  Is that an order or a suggestion... The jack has been all the fun of this thread!

We've gone from semi-auto .308 to 45 handguns to reloading to boresighting and now to 7.62 bolt actions.  All good stuff.

I realize that.  It was sarcasm.  Just saying that this thread has gone so far afield, why not add a little ranting about a smith......

I picked up a CMMG conversion kit for AR's a while ago and am very happy with it.  It is extremely reliable with high velocity ammunition but accuracy is very ammo dependent.  Wolf Match Target will shoot 1/2" at 50 yards but with limited reliability (being standard velocity) and just about any high velocity ammo will function 100% but accuracy varies from about an inch to 4+ inches depending on ammo.  The magazines are very robust and are the same size as standard 30 round mags which makes it nice for mag changing drills, etc.  This is in a 16" gun I assembled using Rock River upper and lower, Yankee hill smooth carbine handguard and a DPMS standard barrel.

I was drooling at my local gun store last night, and apparently the assault rifle shortage is over.  They had 20 AR's in stock, 2 HK USC's (one used), a bunch of FAL's, one M1A Springfield Scout, and an FN BAR.  The BAR was dressed in sort of a tactical fashion with a fluted bull barrel etc.  I know they are accurate platforms, but how is the hop up market?  What do people think of the BAR?  It hasn't come up in this thread......

Which model of BAR?  Not a D model I hope.... You mean a 1918 model?  If that's the one, then it's .30-06, which is a great but long caliber.  Mags are smaller.  Nice and HEAVY.

Its the FNAR in .308



Seemed very light, maybe too light for the .308 caliber.  Definitely lighter than the FAL or the M1A

I think it looks a bit like a hunting rifle dressed up as a battle rifle, but it has some nice features and has a nice price.  Comes pretty tricked out to begin with - rail on receiver, 3 rails on foregrip, pistol grip, adjustable comb (uses inserts), adjustable pull length stock (uses inserts), and fluted bull barrel.

that's exactly what it is (hunting rifle dressed up).  but that's not a bad thing, it has a very nice receiver and is supposed to be pretty awesome.  CDNN had them for a while for not bad prices.

i had a small hope you saw an FN-D BAR or a BAR model D.  I want one so bad.

Don't play into the media.

An Assault Weapon is a made up media term for semi auto weapons, specifically AK's, AR's, etc.


To be an Assault Weapon or Rifle, it must be select fire, meaning semi-auto and full-auto or some variant of that (two rnd burst, etc).




However........That gun pictured is pretty bad ass. I think my next firearm purchase will be a larger cartridge rifle.

The only one I ahve right now is my AR which I wouldn't consider a long range high caliber.

I think my next purchase, outside a nice M1 Garand from WWII, will be a Springfield M1.

+1. No such thing as an assault weapon.

For a rifle to be considered an assault rifle, it must have two things going for it: select fire (as described above, meaning an option for full auto or burst beyond semi-auto) and it must be an intermediate caliber - bigger than a pistol, smaller than an elephant gun or a barrett 50.

That makes for a "broad class" of rifles, but the first option is the limiting option and a person can't just happen upon one of those.

The most correct terminology, as an example, for my "AK's" would be an AK-patterned sporting rifle. I got only semi/safe mode, so its no AK-47, but it has the same general shape and wood stock, etc.

blah, blah, blah, make the beast with two backsing blah. 

You knew exactly what I was talking about, didn't you?  So I'm sloppy with the correct terminology.  So it plays into the hands of the ban guns crowd (marginally I think). So what.  This isn't a lobbying piece and I'm pretty sure everyone in this thread isn't using our posts to take away our guns.  I know how this shit works - I consult for the sporting industry. 

Let's try this again:

So I was drooling at my local gun store last night, and apparently the AR, FAL, AK, BAR, M1A, USC patterned sporting rifle shortage is over.

Doesn't quite have the same ring to it........

[junior varsity]

haha, true.
