On the upside, you can run 7.62 NATO through a .308 rifle with no issues because 7.62 NATO is a lighter load than .308
But it might short stroke in semi autos
Rarely
Depends on the rifle
Most are over gassed so you should be fine
Surplus runs in my chinkshit M14 fine
My friend's Garand only really likes 168gr 308, but we ain't shooting that at the range so we make due with the constant failure to feeds
But that's a special case I think
My PSA10 hates 7.62 NATO
But I don't think it's a special case
I think it's a special case in that the Garand was generally rather particular with 30-06 loads, it's likely to be the same with 308
I would expect civilian AR-10s to be made for 308, so they're not like lighter 7.62, but idk about the civilian M1as and stuff like that, is the gas system modified to like 308?
By "stuff like that" I mean rifles originally chambered for 7.62x51
I want the .308 rifle because the first fully auto rifle I fired was an M240 so .308 took my auto cherry and it’s also what I bagged my first deer with.
M1s can be damaged with commercial 30-06 as it can bend the op rod. Some modern replacement parts can reduce damage to the system though
That's the only reason why my Granda didnt buy an M1.
That and Garand thumb because he could easily solve problem 1 by reloading
cause he loads his own shit
You want a modern prod and gas system anyway
True but some people just getting their rifle don't know better
My best friend had that problem but luckily I found out what was going on and stopped him
Tfw you let your brother in law use your levergat to hunt with, and he loses half the parts because he decides to clean it in the woods
Oof
this is why you dont let people use your guns unless you're with them
@shock.advised
nigger
**WHAT**
@shock.advised yeah, really
**W H A T**
Lowkey might trade my USP for another CAI HK93
Imagine trading a good gun for a shit one
Imagine letting anyone touch your gun
My local pawn shop has a cetme .308 for sale, are they worth a shit?
Its a Spanish G3 (sort of, the cetme was made first). Basically the two models in common circulation are the B and C, you can tell them apart by the handguard ( b metal c wood).
Some were made in Spain for the US civ market. If it's marked "Mars" and "Made In Spain" its worth some thing beyond just shooting. The rest are just parts kits assembled either by Century Arms 💩 or some random guy (probably 💩)
Ian has given us a special Christmas gift
Century builds are just the trunnion, cocking handle and tube, and front/rear sight
Receiver is PTR, Barrel is Green Mountain
It also uses a 1/2-24 thread pitch and not the original HK pitch
The B and its parts are extremely rare, the handguard is over 800 dollars usually
Yeah he century builds are from assorted Model C parts
Meaning they're essentially throwing Radom parts together, causing quality on some rifles to suffer from carrying wear and fit issues
If you want a *true* CETME C, find a local builder or wait for a new manufacturer that’s about to start a run in later 2019
