[RC one]

my current .308 is an AR10T. It’s a pleasure to shoot but it’s more of a sniper rifle than a battle rifle. A buddy has a DSA FN-FAL that he wants me to buy and I want it but Cabelas has half a dozen of those PTR91s and there’s that kel tec bull pup and the scar17 and the UTS15. there’s just no end to the guns I want to buy frankly and today happens to be payday.

The AR-10T is a fine rifle, especially since it has been updated to the AR-15 ergonomics. Original ArmaLite AR-10 ergonomics were poor in comparison to the AR-15.

Of the M14, FN FAL, G3, and CETME — the M14 and FN FAL rifles have the best controls. The single best thing you can do for a G3 clone or CETME clone (including the HK-91 and PTR-91) is the fitting of a paddle type magazine release (similar to the M14).

The military G3 and CETME designs both have two magazine releases: 1) a push button on the right side of the magazine well and 2) a paddle type magazine release located behind the magazine well and the front of the trigger guard. When the original semi-auto only civilian HK-91 and CETME rifles were imported from Germany and Spain, the third push pin ahead of the trigger guard was deleted (along with the paddle magazine release) so that a FA trigger group would not fit the imported rifles.

The paddle magazine conversion is a legal, ATF approved modification and one you will appreciate if you have this rifle. Here's one gunsmith who does this conversion to ATF specs: http://www.triggerwork.net/paddlemag.html.

I feel your pain. I like my Siggy 716.
