OH SHIT NIGGAS BREN 2 IS SO CLOSE I CAN TASTE IT!
>light the size of the optic
we've regressed
2021 is right around the corner!
Im looking at either a DSA58 or a
PTR91. Which one should I spend my hard earned cash on?
DSA has had some QC issues the last several years, I'd go PTR
PTR just because they're better.
if you're gonna get the dsa don't buy the voyager series, as that is the more problem prone version

The only people who really seem to be vocal about complaining about DSA are gunplumber shills. If you want a FAL, they're a solid option. If you just want a cheap battle rifle or you're too retarded to figure out an adjustable gas system, get a PTR.
Get both
>G3 - Pure
>PTR 91 - Castizo
>CETME - Mestizo
>C308 - Mulatto
CETME came first though
better would be
>M1 - Pure
>BM-59 - Castizo
>M14 - Mestizo
>M1A - Mulatto
Post your guys kit with your battle rifle...Im looking for good rigs for a ptr

>Good rigs for a PTR
Nothing beats the OG.
Huh and here I thought it wasn't possible to have a handguard uglier than the standard slim one.
hessen antique has the flek g3 rig for 30$
Is there a lefty stock for the ptr that I'm just too retarded to find? I love the feel and shoot of the gun but I would love a better way to carry it than right-handed straps.
>If you want a FAL
get a real FAL, get an IMBEL
heres some options
So I got my first ptr an as3 from Atlantic. But I got problems boys. Firstly I got the synthetic to metal LR replacement from HK parts, the trigger fits seemingly perfectly but won't seat on to the rear of the UR. Secondly I got a wood buttstock and handguard from numrich gun parts and that mofo doesn't seat all the way forward. The buffer looks different from my synthetic one but there are no screws to take it off and replace it. What do?
question. what do i have to do to get the g3 retractable stock from HK parts to fit properly on a newer C308
weird, my ptr doesn't have that pivot pin on the lower reciever, if you remove that will the whole thing fit together?
>tfw €1700 / $2k for a mixed parts FN
Any burger wanna marry me(no homo) for citizenship so I can be free too?
>PT-What? What do those rednecks know about building me?
Funny enough my PTR91 is a fucking bolt gun at the moment. Burrs and tight fittings preventing the damn thing from cycling.
can you cook?
Good enough for myself, for what it's worth.
Should have done their recommended break-in procedure, user.
It's just an exterior piece left over from the conversion to semi auto I believe. there is no actual pin
can you force it further forward
Asking again.
Ha anyone heard of someone cutting the top rail off of a PRR91 GIR? I got it for a pretty good deal in a partial trade locally (cz82+$450 for rifle, 3 mags, 80 rounds of MEN ammo) but fuck me, the rail on top kills me. I tried it with a scope and cheek riser, it sucked absolute donkey dick. I really like the irons and don’t want to put a dot on it either. The rail just throws the look of the entire gun off.
It looks like there are 4 small welds on either side of the rail holding it on. I’ve got some experience breaking similar welds when I demilled my sten Kit. Has anyone heard of this being done?
Am I just a retard?
its possible. be a fucking careful cunt and go at it with a Dremel and file. you won't compromise the reciever kf you aren't stupid. though desu you're better off just selling or trading this rifle for one without a rail, because rip your finish, and most guys will gladly take one with a rail for ease of optics mounting.
probably nothing. actually, maybe re-use your back plate parts from your old c308 wood stock. like the buffer and recoil spring tip. also, check if the reciever will allow the stock to "collapse" into it when pushed forward
>rip your finish
The rifle was parkerized and I painted it. It came out too glossy though, so I’m going to strip it and repaint anyways
What would be a Bush War period correct FAL upper? Imbel type 2?
No I've really manhandled it to no result. I think I'll need to Dremel it but I was wondering if anyone had the same problem so I knew where to go with that
>imbel
>type 2
>He doesn't like girth
It actually fills the hand unlike the needle dick fal handguards.
Get the an M16A2 stock adapter from blue force gear if you want it slung in the modern style of being able to shoot with the sling on. Or just use it as a carry strap like they used to and you don't need anything.
An R1 receiver, obv.
it sounds like you have autism, I honestly feel bad for your rifle
Found a great deal on a SCAR. Should I get it?
Idk how to help you with the furniture but the trigger group can sometimes need some finagling. Make sure the back side is lined up right.
>less then 275 post till Bren 2
I cant wait to wake up tomorrow and see how much yall posted. Night Frens
whats the best american BR that isnt an AR10? mk14?
The Scar is made in America if that counts.
yep that counts in my book
Its not made in Belgium?
nope. goverments retarded. FN built an entire plant in Ameica to build the SCAR for civilians and military.
government contracts* that was part of the deal.
Is that factory finally putting out rifles? All the scars up until recently have been Belgian imports then
actually idk. i know they mostly assembled here now. not sure how many of the parts are made here now
PAGING G3 OWNERS:
Repeat from last thread. Do you really have to lock the bolt back before inserting a new magazine, or can you just swap mags and run the bolt? if its difficult to do with a full mag can you do it reliably with a downloaded one or is it just a shit show?
yes you can swap mags on the fly without having to open the bolt first. Its easy. takes a few tines to get used to the mag. Have to slightly put it in foward then in. But its simple and after doing a couple times you can change mags as fast any other rifle.
thread reminder
I like my PTR better than my FAL.
BRfags, is a PTR a good first battle rifle? I’m looking at the A3R on Atlantic firearms. It’s either a PTR, or building an AR10, but I’m a big fan of the G3 aesthetic. I’d consider an FAL but I haven’t heard good things about DSA and I know nothing about building one.
Yup, good starter
Yup. The only real choices are PTR(900-1050) or M1A(1200-1350). Simple question of which aesthetic you prefer and what ammo you plan to plink with.
Morning frens
I really want a keltec rfb. Am I retarded? Not looking for purchase validation but warnings if there are legitimate mechanical issues
morning user
DSA is fine. The only people really vocal about them being bad are gunplumber shills. DSA has a wider variety of options than any other source for FALs and a decent amount of aftermarket support. The guns aren't collector-grade, but they're good shooters and overall decent guns.
That being said, I wouldn't recommend a FAL unless you want a FAL more than *just* a battle rifle. A FAL is going to be more expensive (both the gun and magazines) and less user-friendly. Ergonomics are excellent, but you're going to have to deal with the adjustable gas system and tune it to the ammo you're shooting, and magazines are expensive and finnicky depending on the source.
The general consensus for poorfag entry-level battle rifles seems to be PTRs. They're idiot-proof and will eat just about any ammo put in them.
Had one of the early rfb's that was a jam o matic. Super picky about magazines, and would usually jam regardless.
I've heard the new ones are better, but it put me off of them. Buy a Scar 17 and don't look back
Aw yea anons. Briwaxed and polished the stock and handle yesterday. Its looking good. Cant believe how good of condition its in. Now that the wax is dry Im polish again tonight. Might add a little bit mahogany and darker briwax to the stock to balance out the color. still might strip it if doesnt turn out like i want but damn anons am I excited. My PTR is gonna look fancy.
Nice, /brg/ needs more wood stocks. Good work.
I honestly dont know where the "SCAR is overrated and even SOCOM hates it" meme comes from. Legitimately the only two valid criticism ive seen are 1) Standard trigger is terrible considering the price 2) Reciprocating charging handle. The former can be fixed with $315 drop in and the later isnt a big deal as long as you're not retarded when handling it. Other than that the accuracy, weight, (relative) low recoil, and reliability are all top tier. It honestly an all around fun gun to shoot.
It's because it's expensive and most of /brg/ can't afford one.
The Belgian import SCARs were brought into the US with a shitty plastic skeleton stock and an aluminum pin blocking the magazine well. The magazines are made in the US. The only thing that was done to the actual rifle in the US is milling away the magwell pin, removing the shipping stock, putting the regular one on. That was enough to get past import laws.
The US made SCARs from South Carolina started going out at the end of 2018. They have no leftover aluminum pin in the magwell, the rollmark is engraved slightly differently. And they should ship in a plastic case with foam instead of the cardboard box the Belgian ones came in.
afternoon frens
Ah so thats why SCARs have been in stock everywhere lately.
you named your gun Chelsea?
I'm going to be coming into a fair bit of cash here in the near future and have nothing else to spend it on, so what gun should I buy? I don't want to be a complete guccifag, but I do want something good.
Do 30 round fal mags work?
Also, what optics do you guys run on your battle rifles?
Fn herstal FAL
CETME is cute. Cute!
Browning FAL G-series
TA11-308 on my Scar 17 and I think Im might get a Vortex strike eagle 1-8x24 for my GIR just because its on sale cheap and I dont have to worry about beating the hell out of hit. Eventually going to get a NX8 to through on my SCAR and use the TA-11 for whatever kind of AR-10 I buy or build.
Bump for blasphemy, good bye wood hello overpriced plastic.
user, why?
Absolutely disgusting
Performance over aesthetic fee fees. I know sorry. It was already a gir anyway, so if I ever pickup a gi or a real 91, that'll get the wood.
I know but it shoots gooder now.
Nx8 has a shit tier eyebox. Try the k16i
>Performance
Then get an AR-10 instead of polishing a turd.
You seem mad. Why care what others do with their fun money?
This must really trigger you then
because I like to get worked up over incredibly inconsequential things
ah. New brownies?
fuck off back to /arg/
Does it help tho? I'm between the A4 stock and that one for my tractor gun up there.
Yes it really does. It definitely brings the recoil impulse more on-line/straight back into your shoulder and helps with the muzzle climb. Probably not as much as the few reviews out there say it does, but it helps. The downside aside from price is with the cheek piece on there's absolutely no way to use the irons anymore cause it puts you too high, but for me I really don't care about muh buis. I just love that I can get a proper cheek weld and better eye relief now without tweaking my neck all cockeyed and getting a strange half assed jawline-weld. Plus you can set the length of pull and the one thing I've never seen mentioned is that the spuhr buffer tube actually has more tightly space lock positions, so you get more minute adjustments over an AR buffer tube.
>order SA58
>wait "8-10" weeks for it to ship
>will probably have FTF issues once it arrives
>will probably have to send back for repair
>another 6-8 weeks
Fucking clintonfag
learn to use the gas adjustment retard
Buy from Atlantic
