GS455

Thank you for you encouragement mrmackc.

Yea, I bought a 550, tons of peripherals, various powder, primers and bullets for it years ago. Never set it up. I never made space on my bench and never wanted to take the time to roll my own. Been saving brass for years tho. I have a few sealed 5 gal buckets of .223, .308 and 30-06. I'll probably make space for it when I set up the new shop in the house we just moved into.

Yup, Hoping to hear any comparisons or experience others have had before I commit to 2krds

Understood. This is all 149 grain NATO in mainly NATO barrels.

Oy. fair question. I should know the answers but do not.

Federal Lake City XM80 Ball Ammo? Comments? Anyone try this stuff? Consistency? Average Groups? Better/Worse than Hirt? I'm a clays on berms, steel plate smacking plinker out to 300yds. For .308/762Nato I shoot M1A, LAR8EO, PTR91, FAL and an Ishapore Enfield.

Pretty stock. I'm guessing it's a custom job - like mine. Not to take my (OP) thread too far a field but here's my pretty Argy Franken FAL.

Are you a member over there? Just cause you didn't find it doesn't mean folks over there wont know. Post your question. I guarantee SOMEone will know something. And if Gunplumber responds (arrogant bastard) you can count on his answer.

Go to The Fale Files. DEFINITELY the defacto expert community on FALs

Now we know where NY got their 7 round magazine idea? I always wonder who came up with that number and why. For some reason I think it's tied to the 1911

It's the Queens English man. Something we should all go back to. As if they ever taught proper English in this country in the last 30 years. I'm no English scholar but you wouldn't believe the grammar I see in writing from my kid's teachers on emails.

Oh dude. SLRs from New Zealand? Gun Porn now !!! Give it up. Let's see some eye-candy.

You guys are allowed to have firearms Down-Unduh? I guess you didn't give em up the way your compatriots The Aussies did? Welcome.

I use Troy. Prob better response if ya start a new thread tho

1) I would never special order a rifle from RRA again. That wait time was ridiculous but understandable considering the panic. Or was it? 522 days? Come on !!! Panic is long over!!! I WOULD buy the product off the shelf however. I had to send it back twice for some buggy little issues and they were IMMEDIATE and accommodating via of their Svc Dept. 2) Moses is a very well established contributor and gunsmith known on the FAL Files with an excellent reputation. Although I’ve never dealt with him his feedback is unmatched. He has recently ventured into producing some peripherals like FAL mags. The surplus FAL mags I’ve tried in my LAR8-EO are almost totally unreliable. I picked up some Thermolds for it at a great price but I know they need a little grinding/fitting and I have not tried that yet (hassle factor?). So if Moses is going to make some version for the LAR8s (not a stretch from FAL mags) I’m sure they will be just fine. 3) In fact; how do I get on a list to be notified Moses? Not much traffic on this particular forum. There's an LAR8 board on ARF. Might make yerself known there as well.
