you shouldnt pay more than like 650 or 700 for a c308
Never seen it before but I like that platform there's an actual pre ban kooch g3 for sale at a shop kn Oregon but they want 2.4k
Dude I'm not dropping that fucking much on a sight.
700 for sight
Goddamn
PTRs are made from original HK G3 tooling @NwSamsquatch Hunter
their quality is top notch
You get what you pay for. I mean you can still get a decent sight for $200-$300ish
I mean the reddots ive been reccomended are 150-180 on amazon
Iron sights we shot marksman on get good with what ya got and I see that , there isn't a ptr on arms list nearby atm but we will look thanks @Bender
does it have to be armslist
cause armslist is gonna be an overpriced shitshow rn
Vortex reddots
No I can buy anywhere I think and it is if no one will nudge on prices
Im poor. I'm spending 500 total for ammo and sights
this is the one i have
270 for 1k.
one thing i will tell you, and you will experience this whether you get a PTR or a century
is that it has a break-in period
not so much that the gun won't work as well during the break-in period, but the charging handle is ***extremely*** stiff
like, when i first got it i thought the gun was broken
i had to pull so hard on the charging handle i saw stars and bruised my hands after a range trip
i had to put about 500rds thru it before it wasnt that bad, i'm about 1200 in now and it's still a complete bitch to charge, just not quite as awful as it was
it's not anything to do with the brand, it's just the nature of roller-delayed blowback
hoooonestly i'd save for a FAL or get an AR10
G3s are cool but i wish i'd have gotten an AR10
I saw that on a 1000 round tourer test for the c308 and also thanks again for the link you and the Oregon unemployment just bought me a toy we have Mason hands so we can hang with it. Do you wish for the ar10 just for options on parts ? I want the rifle with closed off parts it rains a lot here and I'm prone to treat things like I don't love them
for the option on parts, aftermarket, accuracy, and ease of cleaning
PTRs are accurate but if you get good shit you can get an AR10 sub-moa
and let me tell you something about cleaning
G3s are a *whore* to clean
and because they're roller delayed blowback, you need to clean them every 500rds or so
i shoot 1 mag and the thing is completely filthy
The roller wears on those as well dint they? I'm more of a bladed weapons nerd than firearms
Hema and shit
@NwSamsquatch Hunter the rollers will last forever, dw about that. the gun just gets disgusting after a while
and you have to rotate the bolt, that's under spring pressure, to clean it... so
that and the gun is really hard to reach inside of to clean the actual receiver body
all that said, the gun is a dream to shoot and i love it to death
i just kinda wish i wouldve gotten an AR10 instead
