Will a PRS stock fit on a LAR-8?

[LR308]

You're welcome!

 

Where are you located?  Was your choice for the LAR-8 based upon FAL magazine availability?

 

Jon

I´m in Finland.

 

There were multiple causes for the choise:

Importer

Magazines

And the fact that there ain´t other 308AR´s available that easily.

Welcome from Indiana brother,how's the weather there? What do FAL mags go for? I also have a RRA LAR-8.

Thank´s.

 

The weather currently (9.30 AM) is 5,8 dg C that should equal about 42.44 deg F.  :)

 

I got some FAL metric mags for 10 € a piece. That again is around $13...

Cheap and all but rapes the cases  :(   Compared to the RRA plastic versions anyway.

RRA was up to $30.00 USD. then they went to $25.00.Poly are ok but I think the metal are more robust.And as you know LAR-8 can use both inch & metric.I am at the southern tip of Lake Michigan mid 70's F today and sunny.What do you do for work?

Poly are ok but I think the metal are more robust.

 

I'm pretty sure the RRA poly are Thermold.

 

Definately not the same material as the pmags for the AR15s.

I could try to dig some information about Simo Häyhä (Hayha if the scandinavian letters won´t show), just tell me what to find.

 

In the mean time, any experience with http://www.themakogroup.com/product_p/ssr25.htm  ?

I'd go with the Magpul PRS….

Cant comment on that one, but the Mako GL-Shock seems like a well made adjustable stock.

.308 prs with the dpms spacer from brownells works perfect.

Hollywood, glad you like it, I did that as well, infact this thread helped lead me to it. My only one complaint is that my cheek now rests at the very front of the cheekpiece; are you having any troubles with that?

My cheek bone rests right at the frt . I use it as a reference for repeating my hold. Almost like a hook for my cheek.

I do the same with my LaRue OBR. Repeatability is the key.

Hollywood did you drill the vent hole in the stock screw?
