The 91 or STG???

Like the piston systems. POF Recon and DSA FNFAL can't ask for any better.
......osw ??i don't like fals... They are just too bloody long for me. I prefer bullpups overall, but somehow an ar pattern 308 just doesn't seem as long to me
i know this is not actually true, but shooting them side by side, the fal always seemed a mile long.
The only thing i don't really like about it is that they stay with the AR direct gas system, which is one of the weak points IMHO, in the AR design. Why they didn't go with a gas piston, i don't know. But then, i'm sure plenty of traditionalist will argue that direct gas is still the best.
.... I have handled but not shot two Bullpup'ed SLRs that were done as projects out here. Nice concept but I would just prefer an L1A1 with an 18inch snout and F1 flash supressor.They don't really do the rifle I would like for a combat rifle .... a bull pup design using the piston set up from an L1A1 ... bring down the OAL but keep the legendary reliability.
Don't need full auto ... if a double tap does'nt hit ... you've missed your chance ... all told that's probably why I like a combat shotgun more than a combat rifle ... better chance of "hits" at combat ranges ... but if I had to use one an L1A1 Bullpup would be nice.:thumbup:

Nice! This is (and undoubtedly will be forever) my Grail.
It's run flawlessly for the first 25 years of its life. Don't expect that to change anytime soon.
Not bad but how does reloading go for that thing? I may be wrong but don't most HK 308s have fluted chamberes and make brass pretty much useless after being once fired?
I've reloaded fluted chambered (tried anyway) and full auto brass, what a giant PITA and many stuck shell casings.
Say, what you want to say, but the AR-10 platform is still the best thing going out there today. There is nothing wrong with DI, never has been and it has lots of advantages over piston. I have personally run AR's without cleaning for thousands of rounds. And Accuracy out of the box is unmatched

Unless you're running a suppressor. DI guns blow gas back in your face, piston guns don't.
