Thread: New rifle I've been wanting for a long time

Some of you know that I'm one of those guys who loves to punch holes in paper, the smaller the grouping (5-shots...not three) the better. I've been wanting a M-14 or AR-10 for a long time. It has taken razors, stones, and other firearms sales along with some severe penny pinching over the last 1 1/2-2 years of my personal play $ to buy this baby from a seller on gunbroker...new in the box & they had it in hand. I had placed a order thru a Rock River dealer three months ago for a LAR-8 Predator HP & at first was told it would be less than two months. The latest update was that it would be the end of September or into October. I cancelled the order and started searching & this is what I came up with. I hope the wait was worth it! No, I didn't pay retail:


God Bless,

Nice,but why shoot that little Javalena with a .308?

Nice rifle!!!!!!! Ammo is just too expensive now a days

Nice rifle!

Years ago I had a friend who got the long version. When I saw it I couldn't believe my eyes cause it was so awesome.

Enjoy!

No javalena here, just feral hogs & I wouldn't hunt one without a large rifle. The .458 Socom I have is great for hogs here, but you are limited in rage to 150 yards or less...the .308 changes things. I'm a reloader, so I don't have to pay $25-30 a box for match grade ammo thank goodness. Who knows, this one may replace the .458 Socom...time will tell.

The FN-FAL is a fine rifle indeed, just wanted something that I was familiar with & I've put together over a dozen AR-15's & worked on dozens of M1a's...heck, did some work on one just a week or so ago. The M1a's are built like tanks, but to get into the more accurate rifles you have to spend more dough...something I don't have a large flow of.

That 20mm is simply...wow. The part "...the 20mm cartridge produces such excessive recoil that no-one would withstand the force." is quite spooky.

Yea, I understand completely wanting to use something familiar that's why I bought my C1A1 FN. I had the pleasure of shooting an accurized Garand at an informal match with US Navy guys. Not a fair contest against bog standard issue FNs. The guys that built the Garands were the same fellows doing sniper rifles for Nam. Sweet shooters.

According to a buddy of mine, if you want any long gun that even remotely resembles an 'assault rifle' get it while you can. It won't be long before the one you buy now will be known as "pre-ban."

Or try a 10mm :-)
