Great concept....except for the proprietary magazines....would be so much better if they took M1A/M14 or FN/FAL(!) magazines...  :'(
Why, yes....I'm the right-wing extremist Obama warned you about... ;D

I just wish Texas was as free and independent as everyone thinks it is...   :'(

Honestly, I was very close to buying this rifle. Gander had it at less than $1k. Ironically MB talked me out of it.Why? Because the darn thing, despite being nearly perfect in every other respect doesn't use the cheap and abundant FN-FAL mags. If it did I would own one and be bragging on it rather than agonizing over AK vs  AR. :-\ Instead, it uses $70 proprietary mags, which means buying 12 doubles the price of the gun. If the gun is free though........ ;D This one is mine, mine, all mine Bwahahaha. ;D

Take your Ritalin, Garth!!

Geesh, you are all over the place, I shoulda bought this gun, oh, I did buy that gun, gotta sell it, maybe I should get another one, here's one I don't want but I will talk about it. . . .

I entered for the FNAR, but I am not keen on winniing it if I do. Yeah, I got some spare 7.62x51 lying around here someplace, so I could feed it for a long time. Two problems:

1. Doesn't really fit into what I like or want. Now, if it were a SCAR heavy, yeah, I would be drooling.
2. Some low post count newbie will win it anyhow.

Maybe instead of enrolling us twice automatically, MB and team should enter us once per post count. That would work for me.

Wait, then Tom would win everything.

Nevermind . . .     8)

Personally I think they should make them 'one for the Cat and one to give away'!
