    It’s been good to me so far. Handles a 240 B just fine.

    That might actually be just what I need. Thanks! Again its for a class project so it won't be seeing heavy duty use (lots of firing). Just running around and bumping into things.

    Haven’t ran mine in a competition but it seems to stay put pretty well. Would probably take a few bumps just fine!

    I used to specialize in this platform (.CETME/G3/HK91)
    If you ever go that route, make sure you do all the pre-reading you can on the delayed roller block blowback system and what to look for, especially used ones.
    ( if you can find a milled body instead of a stamped body, the quality is much better and your resale value will remain high)
    There very fun rifles but they are a very unique platform and notoriously difficult to mount optics.

    That's why I was looking at the C308. They are a collaboration between Century and PTR. They also have an integrated Picatinny rail along the top of the receiver. Reviews on the first run were hit and miss, but most of the more recent offerings appear to be good performers. Then again, I heard the same feedback on the Sig 556R a few years ago. When I picked up one in the "trouble free" SN range, I ended up sending it back to Sig for warranty work multiple times (light primer strikes, failure to feed, etc). I ended up dumping it. Had the same issues with a Sig Mosquito. I've completely sworn off any new Sig offerings.

    I had a gen 2 556R that was flawless. Sold it though. Didn't have anything else in x39 so it didn't get much use. Shame really, SIG screwed the pooch after that with the xi garbage that came next.

    And I do want to add, if you reload your 308 cases, all of the centme style rifles render their cases unreloadable because of the fluting that’s put in the chamber to drive the casing out of the chamber when you shoot

    So... what y'all think of an AK47 instead? I live in California is why... only ten round mags and the bullet button for the AR is now illegal here too...

    I did, it was either move or become a felon because of non-compliance.

    I've never even seen one states side but shot a few in Asia. They were rusty and probably never cleaned but worked like a charm. And I figure they are cheap, hit harder and aren't in the focus of the crazy lawmakers in Sacramento... yet
