7.62/.308 Battle Rifles - Looking for INGO Opinions...

Belgium would not allow Germany to domestically produce the FAL (bad feelings about the last two wars - though they were going to allow us to produce it license-free). Germany wanted domestic production, so that limited their options.

They actually bought a good number of FN FALs The G1 rifle. They used them for a while until they could get the G3 sorted.

They tested the Sig 510 (G2) and the AR10 (G4). But decided to bring back the native design.

Fn fal #1

In your opinion, perchance not everyone else's. But that's probably a good thing or there would be no variety. Sort of like if everyone wanted to date the same girl...not enough to go around as it were.

Agreed that could get messy

I wonder if there is a juicy nuget in the classifieds.......

I had a M14 in basic training. I shot through the first 5 targets at 50 meters and hit all of the remaining targets at Fort Ord CA in 1967 and would have had the Post record. I have always wanted a accurized M14 in .308.

G3 was cheaper and easier to produce, not because it was better than the FAL and like already stated, they weren't allowed to produce it.

What about piston AR-10s? Ruger SR762, Sig 716, POF P308? Throwing these out for fun.

I've enjoyed my DPMS G2 series 7.62/.308 rifle. I did have some issues with PMAGS feeding properly (and the notorious hold-open issue), but I switched to Lancer mags (not a big price difference and they have appropriately placed metal bits) and haven't had a problem since.

Maybe we need to get these " Battle Rifles" all together and do some shooting.

I'd be in for that once I put some more rounds through mine!

PSA has a complete lower for $169 plus ship and an 18" stainless complete upper for $399 plus ship. 20" is $20 more.
