Giving this a try to see if it helps people hang around and engage with the community a little bit more. Spicy memes and gun bunnies are great but we all know the one thing that keeps us together is our love of the firearms that guarantee our freedom.
If you have questions about guns, training, ammo, etc. etc. and don't feel like getting joke answers in a standalone post of a site dedicated to shitposting, ask it here.
For the people who would like to answer questions, please keep it somewhat serious. Lighthearted humor is fine but I'd like to keep the actual autism out of this particular post.
If this seems effective, I'll try to get one stickied every week
The SCAR17 7.62/.308 keeps getting more and more expensive.
Is it really worth the premium?
If yes, why?
If no, what is your 7.62/.308 alternative?
Its honestly one of the coolest guns i have shot. Excellent modern super sexy battle rifle with a folding stock. Modern rifles with long stroke pistons sexually excite me.
Mags are proprietary and expensive. Rifle itself is about the price of a semi decent used car. Also i have heard they are rough on optics.
I kinda want one myself but the AR10 type gat that takes sr25 pattern mags is so mich more approachable with readily available parts. Also if you want a folding stock battle rifle look into a FAL. Still so much money from DSA but more available parts and mags than a FAL. Learn to love rollpins and headspacing if you build one.
Mags are still proprietary? I can't believe that. Bummer.
I heard the same thing about optics. Apparently you have to get special mounting hw for acogs, etc...
$50 on sale for them mags too. That's a fuck ton when you start trying to buy a loadout/training set up.
I don't even look at or read about the HKMR762 or MR556. Otherwise i will lust after them too hard.
I really want a fancy rifle but an limited in budget.
$50 a mag, i'm spoiled by dirt cheap ar15 mags.
