If you were like me, and didn't actually own a centerfire rifle that used detachable magazines because you don't like messing with them, but you wanted to get your mitts on such a rifle so you could take you some basic rifle and carbine training, what would you get your mitts on?

how much ya wanna spend is my first question and then what caliber

I'll tackle this from ''what could I borrow'' angle.

If Euc - you were a great deal nearer to me, I would happily get you to the range to shoot FAL in .308 and maybe too some fun with Mini 14 (.223 of course). Throw in the AK and we'd have a blast - you'd then get a good sample of what might interest you.

Cost will be lowest at AK end of scale (leaving out SKS as they are fixed mag as std) ........ tho a used Mini may not be too much more. FAL tho a step up in the cost game.

The CETME .308 rifles are really nice. Thye use the H&K 91 mags (20 Rndr's) and they run about 425.00 to 500.00 G3 parts will fit as well.....they have the wood stocks and handguards. Might be a good option for ya

Cetme was gonna be my choice also i have one but some people dont want the 308 carbine so that why i asked caliber and $$

I used to have a Mini-14. Good gun but they've gotten pretty pricey. I'd proabably opt for either an AK or a Cetme/FAL/G3

I love my -91. I suppose it depends on your level of "sensitivity", re: caliber. I have the A3 (collapsing) stock, and have no complaints. It certainly is not a AR (pop-gun recoil). You are firing a MBR.

DO NOT buy an alloy receiver G3/Cetme. If you have the $$, the PTR's are supposed to be very nice ($600-$700), and about what you would spend for a basic AR- maybe a bit less. BigBore I believe has owned/shot the PTR clone, if you wanted to contact him for an assessment. :wink:
