Nice. Got an email from Ruger this morning featuring this piece. If it came with 30 rd magazines I’d probably get one but since it only comes with 20’s I guess I’ll have to pass. LOL!
The .308 is ~25% bigger diameter case. They cannot fit the same amount of rounds in the same space.
I think 20 rnd mags are pretty standard because of the weight and size of the 7.62 cartridge.
First:
I would prefer the pistol grip to be canted with the lower end further forward than the top end.
Second:
I would prefer a bullpup, for easier use getting in and out of vehicles, or around the house
Third:
I would prefer a delayed blowback: no gas tube to blow, no piston to kink. No sudden impacts from things slapping around.
Fourth:
I would prefer a quick change barrel, and would like to be able to change calibers by change of barrel and magazine.
Fifth:
I would prefer to have two magazines, and have the ejection path straight down between them, with a switch that when one magazine emptied would switch feed to the full magazine. That way I could feed from a full magazine while having time to change the empty one.
