I'm interested in everyones opinion of what their ideal rifle would be. If you are into military/target/hunting/etc. I want to know what pieces of what rifles you would scab together to make your ultimate rifle.
I think mine would be like this: (Keep in mind I'm not as proficient on rifle design as a lot of you guys.) My likings lean more towards the military style rifles. AR15 basic design. I like the A2's handle over the flat tops, even though I could put a handle on that looks darn near the same. I don't know if this is possible, but I'm thinking an FAL gas adjustment, but with a direct gas impingement like the AR. I was kind of depressed when I cleaned my new AR after shooting it the first time. It was pretty dirty after only about 200 rounds of PMC. Even still I wonder if the FAL adjustment would overcome any malfunctions from the gas/gunk in the chamber. IF it would then I would do that. If not then FAL gas adjustment with AK style gas tube. AK style mag. AR mag release, although ambi. Same with the safety AR, but ambi. AK bolt. AR sights. Put a free float rail on it with an Eotech. I'm torn on the caliber though. 5.56 lacks some oompfh under certain conditions, but is small and light and no recoil. 7.62 x 39 also is not ideal for accuracy, a little big, and possibly not ideal ballisticly. .308 is nice, but is a little big, and a little heavy on the recoil. I'm thinking maybe the new 6.5 or 6.8 offerings might be about right. Give me a bayo lug, and a good flash hider, and I think I'm good to go. So does anyone make such an animal?
