The fuck happened to the other general? We had like 20 posts already.

idk but there were four threads up earlier. It's getting crazy with people making threads right and left.
Cooper Mitchell
Clueless about battle rifles, but it's time for something in 308 or 7.62x51. Is there a JUST AS GOOD option for someone just getting into them?
Austin Perez
We had the last thread which was at the post limit. There was the trap one which somebody made for no apparent reason other than attention whoring. The last thread died, so someone made a new one. But someone else was too dumb to check and made yet another thread using the same image in the OP here.
Matthew Lopez
Just recently acquired a SR-762, was wondering what kind of brakes/muzzle device you guys recommend and what's all the rage in BR optics nowadays, I was thinking a vortex 1-6 strike eagle for now until I found a more permanent solution. I also have a lantac dragon on my AK, and I really don't like how it fireballs and concusses, I'd actually prefer something more akin to a flash hider that may or may not reduce felt recoil/muzzle rise.
Connor Robinson
Yeah some of those chassis look cool, others not so great. But IMO nothing beats that beautiful walnut stock.
Michael Gutierrez
The Surefire MB is an assault weapon for anyone standing near the rifle. Not bad if you're shooting it though.
Strikes are heavy, well w a Bobro mount mine is. They're serviceable and cheap.
Levi Baker
We need a general for each minority and sexuality now. It's called inclusiveness.

NO TRAPS!

Should I put a scope on my PTR 91 GIR and if so which one?

How well do you shoot w irons

How much do they go for? They're 4x?

The DSA FAL is the justasgoodas option. Watch people come to the defense of the shitty below par cast reciever when it's mentioned as a negative.
Noah Ward
DSA is the brst choice for a FAL if you don't want to shop around for a good parts kit build.
PTR is the best choice if you want a G3 clone, and it's a bit cheaper than DSA's FALs.
AR-10s are the way to go if you want something that is actually remotely practical.
Jayden Morales
I kind of want to buy a Fal, can anyone tell if this is an L1A1 as claimed or is this a metric one? I live in finland so finding mags or spare parts for an inch gun would be really difficult. I tried looking up some guides and it looks like it's half metric and half inch from what I can tell.
Logan Ortiz
here's the other side
Dominic Rivera
I ordered a PTR with green furniture for the classic look, then at the last moment changed my mind and got the version with the rail on top. Am I way over thinking it if I think the railed version should only have black furniture and I fucked up?
Hudson Young
fhsfshfs less tiny pictures here
Lucas Morales
and other side again
apologies, I'm a retard
Ian Myers
Hensoldts are the aesthetic and impractical choice. They're old so typical caveats apply but they're tough as nails and stupid expensive ($600+) for what you get.
Henry Miller
Not familiar enough with FALs to be 100% sure, but it looks Metric. It's got the Belgian muzzle brake, the thicker metric handguard, and the stock lacks the "lip" on the underside where it connects to the receiver that Inch FALs have.
Hudson Sanders
Y/N?
Landon Turner
Rails kill BR aesthetics but they're nice to have.
Guess we need a metric VS inch ID guide
Jace Stewart
Bare min for AR and bare min for BR are 2 different things. I wouldn't buy one.
>railed gas block
>non freefloat
>A2 grip
>that stock
>FH
Only thing that's good is the mag
Xavier Campbell
I used the guide linked here to determine that it's pretty metric: dsarms.com
On the other hand, some metric Fals seem to be pretty identical to what they're selling there. Such as the one held by this happy indian dude. Could be just that Wikipedia mislabeled this image of course.
Kevin Carter
What is FH? What would you recommend as a DPMS pattern AR10 in the $1000-2000 range?
Jacob Hughes
Just buy matching surplus furniture from HK parts the grips are like $5 and the handguards are like $25
Aiden Cook
where would be a good place to go about getting a trilux with the actual FAL mount? i ordered one of the DSA jew mallets and figured i might as well get the matching neat looking though dated optic for it
Cooper Ross
Flash hider instead of a brake.
Just build one if you're dropping 2gs. They're piss easy.
M5 reciever set w parts kits 400, handguard 200, MBT2 trigger 90, buffer kit and melonited gas tube under 100, stock 150, K2 grip 35, used KAC rear and magpul pro front irons 125, nitrided Bcg 200, Harris bipod w mount for 50. Match barrel for 400. Adjustable gas block 90. If you're never getting a can just get a cheap muzzle brake/compensator otherwise pick and can then match its MB for 50-200 depending
Even w a few tools and shipping that's 2k. Then just need to save up for a PA 1-8X24 platinum w ACSS and decide if you want a QD mount.
I also like ambi safety (weak side selector on backwards for interference) and BAD levers.
Cooper Thompson
Pretty good. I’m accustomed to my AKs with iron sights. When I ordered the railed PTR I was thinking “it’s .308 so I can reach out further”. Not so sure now. The rear G3 sight is a little blurry to me.
Colton Green
It's supposed to be blurry. Learn to shoot correctly.
Juan Hall
How hard is it to build that shit? I am a handgun and trap shooting only fag
Adrian Hughes
Looks like those are for the claw mount. With the railed version, I guess an AR10 scope + mount might be the way to go.
Justin Hall
That's a good looking FAL! Is that a 30 round magazine? If so, are they reliable?
How well do those G3 claw mounts hold zero?
I see you all the time, I swear.
Xavier Garcia
>It's supposed to be blurry.
Care to explain?
Sebastian Hughes
>How well do those G3 claw mounts hold zero?
No idea, I don't have a G3 pattern gun or a claw mount for that matter. I considered the Hensoldt to put on my FAL but felt I could do a lot better for $650.
If you already have the rail there's zero reason to go vintage. Buy the best optic and mounts you can afford. The new US optics 1-6x are pretty excellent from what I've read.
Ryan Kelly
You need a vice and a Bev block (prob a 308 version), a Fat Wrench, a castle nut tool, a torque wrench, loctite, 2 wrenches to put on the muzzle device, a set of brass punches, a small bubble level, and like 2 hours.
Sebastian Lewis
Thanks fren, its a DSA 30rd and I've yet to use it since I've got it. I've heard they're shit but I wanted one anyway. $15 mag dump tests get expensive. Still full on winter for another month so haven't had a chance to get a handload worked up yet. Been so windy it hasn't been worth it.
Luis Russell
I've only got a handful of pics of my FAL and I like shitposting with pics of it. The DSA 30 rounders are fine in my experience. No more finnicky than any surplus 20 rounders.
Michael Reed
I put an A2 rifle stock on my AR10 because I like the way they look, but honestly the collapsible stock seemed better in almost every practical way, including comfort. Switching back feels like admitting I wasted money.
I'll never use this rifle for anything but range shooting and maybe take it deer hunting or something. What do?
Jackson Harris
One of these days I'll get a 417. But there's so many other guns I want before that.
Josiah Lewis
what stock is that?
Dominic Russell
Looks like a Magpul UBR GEN2
Carson Hall
Sunk cost fallacy.
ACSL has the best sling attachment system for 2pt. It's a on the heavy side and not as skookum as an A2 but I like mine. Trapdoor is nice for light batteries. Seems excessivly expensive
Luis Evans
Kel-Tec RFB as awful as people on YouTube make it sound?
David Parker
I need a FAL to complete my 308 family
Liam Lewis
You focus on the front sight or some people target focus, regardless the rear sight of any gun will be peripheral and therefore blurry/unfocused to the eye. Retard.
Asher Howard
Anyone own one of these and is it worth the imaged price? I'm thinking about adding a Semi-Auto 308 to my collection.
Jonathan Wright
Idk, I just paid 680 for mine, so you found a better deal than me lol
Noah Russell
Don't tell me, your on Speed again, aren't you?
Benjamin Powell
High Tec sling
Alexander Taylor
Get one they're great
Just look at the front sight post. Paint the tip white to help.
Nothing about that looks good.
Again?? A shill thread deleted and other one died at 20 posts so just reposted.
Eli Miller
that things a bastard child
Julian Gonzalez
yes
people who actually shoot like the 5R barrel
Isaac Morgan
eh, you could price your own build out for similar cost these days. dpms upper receiver is pigfat heavy
Michael Phillips
The hand guard, grip, stock, and flash hider are all dirt cheap basic bitch components because you're EXPECTED to change them out. So instead of putting expensive accessories you'll replace anyway on it and driving the price up, they use minimum viable to keep the base cost low.
Charles Powell
y
Josiah Bailey
I know so just buy all of it in pieces like ARs are meant to be purchased. I can understand buying a complete (minus trigger) or even one that had a stock I was going to buy anyway (and thus buy one less tool) but that thing? No.
Juan Green
Anyone have info on what type of receiver accepts the DSA stripper clip cover? Most of the info says metric receivers but DSA's website says that the receiver has to be "cut" somehow to accept the cover?
Also does anyone have experience with clip-loaded FAL's? I have a NY-legal project that I'd like to work on, fixed 10 round mag allows me to keep the pistol grip and flash hider.
Joshua Garcia
I'd be interested in this as well. Only because clips are just meme enough for me.
Would those allow for more dirt ingress?
Jose Young
is a JRA M14 worth it at 1500 or should I keep looking for a Polytech for sub-1000
Daniel Brooks
Going to assume "yes", seeing as the Belgians experimented with it once then no other FAL variant had them. If it wasn't for NY's terrible SAFE Act, I wouldn't have to create this monstrosity.
Aaron Jones
JRAs are pretty good by pretty much all accounts. Do it.
Caleb Martinez
Will a Metric FAL dust cover work on an Inch gun? There’s a G1 scope in my area that would look good on my L1.
Jaxon Russell
That's it? Hmm yeah maybe too meme then thanks.
Connor Foster
Morning boyos
Xavier Martinez
thanks nigga
Blake Collins
Correct. It's the Magpul UBR Gen 2. It's expensive but worth it. I would only recommend installing it on DMR builds and AR-10s.
Justin Jackson
I don't know the specific type, but the receiver needs cuts near the back for those tabs you see on the back of the cover to slide into. Without those tabs, the dust cover could just slide back and forth.
Aiden Bell
How's the lockup on the UBR? Is it actually skookum like the LMT SOPMOD?
Angel Brooks
I don't know shit about FALs, but I think all the top covers I've seen for sale are labeled either inch or metric, so I'm gonna guess no. Try sending a product question about that to DSA pretending you're gonna buy one from them to verify.
Luis Smith
I'm too lazy to build my own AR...
Eli Russell
It takes 2h
Brody Morales
Was there ever a ruling on if boltybois can be BRs? When did removable mags become used for loading the gun instead of a receptacle to be charged via stripper clips?
Jace Taylor
>When did removable mags become used for loading the gun instead of a receptacle to be charged via stripper clips?
STG/MP40 nah?
Julian Gray
we should just go Service Rifles Only, 30 cal of course
Landon Ross
AR-10, plain and simple. Runs well. Has familiar operations and requires only a few tools for disassembly. Slap a nice piece of glass on top and your set.
Jackson Thomas
I like my Primary Arms Raptor FFP 1-6 as a cheap beater. As for muzzle I really like the strike industries j comp v2.
Juan Johnson
I gotchu senpai
Austin Evans
holy fucking eye relief
Oliver Williams
The boltybois seem to be another designation like milsurp or antique.
Joseph Jenkins
Sometimes you see a Garand sneak by without anyone saying it's not a battle rifle. Not being semi-auto seems to be enough to disqualify something, I think.
Colton Green
It's a long eye relief scope. Still, it's more weight on the front of the gun and makes the rifle even more forward-heavy. Even though the EBR stock is lighter than the wooden one, the weight is all in the front, so the rifle actually feels heavier to hold than it would be with the regular wood stock.
Oliver Phillips
Easton Long
Is that an FR8? I just bought one for $500 thats in really nice condition.
Grayson Nelson
Yep. Fun lil rifle, isn't it?
Xavier Wood
>no other FAL variant had them
You are forgetting about the leafs.
Jordan Parker
I emailed DSA about this a week or so ago. They said the FAL has to be cut specifically with those tabs.
They're like 3x more expensive, but DSA also sells pic related which should work on any FAL.
Cameron Parker
Owen Cook
God fucking bringing back memories of Katrina. Fuck the NOPD and Harry Lee did nothing wrong.

What is necessary to build a FAL parts kit?
What about a cetme parts kit?
Matthew Nguyen
Ian and Karl did a whole CETME parts kit build video series you can check out.
