Looks like I have a LR-308B and want to customize

Hi there,

over here in Germany we have a pseudo-socialist regime calling itself "social-democratic". The only choice the people has over here is to vote about who they will give the power to control and over-regulate their lives.

Gun laws are extremely restrictive over here. People get killed over 2 bucks beaten to death by thugs. Burglaries are on the rise while people are denied the means to take responsibility for their own safety in their own hands and defend their lives. Concealed carry is possible without any problems only for - guess who - thugs/politicians, their security detail and other state institutions like the police or military. Although these are not trusted with guns as long as they are off-duty. Imagine a 17-year-old trained in using an assault rifle in combat being sent to Afghanistan or another country where he is fighting "the good fight". He will not be trusted with guns chambered bigger than a .22 long rifle until he is 25 unless he is passing a psychological evaluation - which he has to pay for himself. The only country with stricter gun laws over here is the UK, and they totally banned all handguns - including AIR guns. The oathbreakers in charge in Germany are currently working on an improved version of the former German Democratic Republic. But the libertarians are growing stronger with every day and we are working on a european version of your NRA. Civil rights are not worth a lot over here these days...

 

That rifle cost me 1.399 Euros over here. This is a really fair price, especially when considering the fact, that the next best choice for a semi-auto rifle would be a G3-clone made in Turkey. And that one would be at 1.600 bucks or more. If I could get my hands on an HK41 I would at once. Very pricey, though, at 2k or more even in used condition. So, you see, I could not withstand that offer and I got me a deal.

 

Troy Flip-Up Sights M4 style are ordered as of today. The shape of my head is somewhat special, which is why I prefer standard height iron sights. Thanks for the support :D

That sounds just like Californiastan <lmao> . Welcome to the 308AR.com forum Jan,we're glad to have you! There's also the 308AR Facebook page <thumbsup>

Smith Vortex and Advance Armament have good products.

Hmm, since I do live in Germany my options are somewhat limited. Anyway, thanks for the advice. So, I chose one from a personal friend of mine: http://shop.gunworks.de/index.php?page=product&info=73

Pictures will follow :)

Here is my flash-hider:

 

It will be installed after the IPSC Rifle National Championships :)

Interesting brother Jan,was there any advantage for the long lenght ???

Looks like it is fashioned after the M14's flash hider...sans bayonet lug.

 

Mine worked well on the M1As...should work fine.

According to the manufacturer the flash-hider was derived from the one on the FN FAL. I have seen the difference between the original one on the HK41 and this one, and it´s decisive.
