Hi Crash. Congratulations on your new PTR-91. I just wanted to post in this thread for anyone else and to show the pic.

Okay, okay, I don't have a DSA FAL but I want one but until my shoulder gets better I'll be using my Bushmaster Patrolman's carbine. But from what I've read the DSA FAL is a better rifle for some than the Springfield M1A. (of course opinions are like elbows everyone has 2) But I'm ignorant about both of them really except for what I've read...no personal experience, and I really just wanted to post a link to the picture! LOL! And I didn't even know about PTR 91 F G3 HK91 STYLE .308 from Atlantic Arms until someone posted...So many choices...if one has the money.

And I found this too:

CETME RIFLES

ANYWAY YOU LOOK AT A CETME RIFLE IT IS A FINE LOOKING PIECE OF HARDWARE. MADE IN SPAIN THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL VARIATION OF THE WORLD FAMOUS HK-91 RIFLES. CHAMBERED IN THE POWERFUL .308 ROUND THESE HARD HITTING SEMI-AUTO RIFLES ARE WORLD FAMOUS FOR THEIR ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY. IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN THE MOVIE SNIPER THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE WEAPON BILLY ZANE CARRIES. THEY HAVE BEEN SO HARD TO GET BUT WE JUST RECEIVED A SMALL BATCH AND THEY ARE IN STOCK AND READY TO SHIP.
COMES COMPLETE WITH 2-20 ROUND MAGS.
DON'T MISS THESE, WE ONLY HAVE A FEW AND WHEN THEY ARE GONE THEY ARE GONE.....$699.95

Wait for Robinson Armament's .308 XCR-M. Nothing better exists. robarm.com

DSA's SA58 gets a close second place.

PTR91 shoots well, eats everything (except magtech 308 junk)

ey, Crash! Send us a pic for pete's sake. I've read this whole thread and I'm interested in your experience in choosing and buying a weapon under your stipulations. I'm in the same boat now, but unlike you i lean more toward a m14/m1a derived model. How bout the pros/cons on your new ptr91? Good deal?

Check out the soon to be released HK MR762 if you want a sexy, evil, black rifle.......drool! It is the civilian version of the HK 417 and is supposed to be released end of this year, but you can bet it will set you back some serious green!

M1 Garand. There were a few that were originally .308 instead of 30 cal m1. A rebarrel job is all it takes to do the conversion. The same en blocs and everything else is used.

I'd go with a Rock River Arms LAR-8 in .308/7.62 NATO. Put a good scope on it, use high quality ammo with it and brag about it using the cheaper FAL magazines while your buddy's mags cost about $45.00 each or something to that effect. Get one with a detachable rear sight handle on it so you also can switch back and forth and brag about it while your buddy can't...
