  1. I don't think I'll ever understand the need to throw away $200 for a permission slip and adding yourself to a non-registry in order to reduce the effectiveness of your weapon. And before the 'commandos' jump in, have you ever had to 'clear' your home.. or your neighbor's?

  2. While still effective, there's plenty of other calibers that makes sense and better suited. 12.5 barrel 123gr 6.5 Grendel and 147/150gr 308 about 2300fps, about 1450ft/lbs vs 1760ft/lbs. But the better 6.5 coefficient at range, smaller, lighter, less recoil, less muzzle blast.

  3. 12" barrel, 12" height over bore. For years people complained about a chin-weld on AK's so the AR fixed it. Now we are back to the chin-weld on AR's. Oh, but you don't have to move your head down that extra inch. Brilliant!

  4. I plan to shorten one of my 308 GII rifles to have threads just in front of the gas block, so that it will accept a suppressor, for various purposes.

    I prefer at least an 18" barrel for 308, under most circumstances.

  5. If you have a 16" or 18" 308 for longer range, the 12" def makes sense for CQB. Lets face it, if you buy this, or even watch these videos, you have or will have multiple rifles. There's no do-it-all one gun, nor will you have one gun anyway.

  6. I don't know about the performance of the 12" barrel, but like as it is said, long as you look cool doing it, it doesn't matter. lol sweet .308! can't wait to hear the answers

  7. Don’t forget the MC51, a G3 with a 9.1” barrel. Looks kind of like a knock off MP5, and virtually the same size, but will happily destroy any body armour a terrorist has invested in. Muzzle blast is tremendous though especially on full auto. Never fired one myself but have seen it demonstrated.

  8. 7.5, .308 with a brake that makes it even louder. I want the guys at the range next to me to hate me. I want any Home intruders who survive to speak in sign language for the rest of their lives. 😈
