In this shithole the only way you're gonna get a rifle is through years of active competition in gun clubs, and I simply have no time for all that. Therefore a semi-auto shotgun with a longer barrel is the closest thing to a rifle I can legally own. I need it fam.

Buying the cheapest possible product that will function as such is rarely if ever the most cost effective solution.

I've been toying with the idea of building a Remington 700 short action in .223/5.56 as a varmint gun. It's basically the AR-15 / 10-22 / Glock / CJ-5 of bolt actions, the aftermarket's so big you can build one from scratch without using a single OEM part. Plus I really like the idea of a bolt action feeding from a double stack detachable magazine that you can still top up with stripper clips, and I think I can make that happen.
Problem is, once you price it out, it's more cost effective just to build an AR.

Something about these has always confused me. If you want a 5.56 gun, why not an AR or any of the stupid boutique guns that fire it? If you want a bolt action, why not .220 swift for varmints or even just go for .308 and be able to shoot everything from 125gr varmint loads to big boy 220gr? I can't see any reason to put .223rem in a bolt action for any reason other than ammo availability and interchangeability, and to me that's not a good enough reason to get a rifle in such an unremarkable cartridge over any of the superior alternatives. Also, staggered feed bolt actions give me an irrational sense of discomfort.

>If you want a 5.56 gun, why not an AR or any of the stupid boutique guns that fire it?
Fudd-ish tenancies. I like bolt guns, I feel self-loaders encourage you to dump ammo rather than being deliberate with your shots, I don't do any of the tacticool run-and-gun stuff where a semi-auto would be useful, and if I was ever in need of a 'fighting rifle' I'd want something in a full size rifle cartridge.
Even so, building an AR would still be the most economical and straightforward option, thus the dissonance with which I'm struggling to reconcile.
>or even just go for .308
I have an irrational hatred for the cartridge. I already own milsurp in 30-06 and the thought of splitting my ammo pool for a round that's essentially the same damn thing minus a half inch of case length pains my autism.
>and to me that's not a good enough reason to get a rifle in such an unremarkable cartridge over any of the superior alternatives
Okay, but consider it from the other side. .223/5.56 is cheap, everywhere, and adequate for the intended purpose. (short-to-medium range plinking, precision shooting, and varminting) Why would I switch to a boutique cartridge, paying a premium for factory ammo or else rolling my own, for a marginal increase in performance?
>Also, staggered feed bolt actions give me an irrational sense of discomfort.

Massachusetts. I’ve only got an FID, though. So even though I could own one, almost all semi-auto non-22lr rifles are “assault rifles” (which I can’t own). Even if I had an LTC, I’ve never seen a semi-auto non-22lr rifle in this state that was under $700 (apart from those Hi-Point carbines). I assume this is because it’s illegal to take new “assault rifles” into this state. I know that it’s illegal to take new magazines with a capacity of over 10 rounds into this state.
I just checked a few local gun store websites. There’s actually a $700 SKS. This may very well be the only chance I get at one. I’ve only got $1000 in my bank account. I hate the fact that I’m actually contemplating this.

SKS doesn’t count as an assault rifle if it has a 10 round magazine. MA G.L. c. 140, § 121 gives a list of what’s an “assault rifle” and what’s not.

>proprietary round?
It's not proprietary is it? Plenty of manufacturers are making guns chambered for it and ammo is becoming more common, with some armies even thinking of adopting it.
>What are the downsides of it
Not being .308 or 5.56? Having it available only for ARs and bolt actions? Can't think of any other.

They're probably going to release a double stack model in the coming months to pair with their new double stack pistols, wait a bit.

>because she is interested in longer range shooting
.224 Valk has absolutely atrocious accuracy though, it's worse in every way than 77gr 5.56 or 6.5 grendel but double the cost. Federal can shill "MUH SUPERSONIC AT 1000 YARDS!" but it doesn't matter if it has 4 MOA accuracy at 100.
Check out TGC's look into .224, they spent thousands of dollars and months trying to fine tune the accuracy by selecting the best twist rates, barrels, ammo and even using barrel coolers between shots and they still couldn't get it to shoot near 1 MOA.
Just get an 18" or 20" 1:7 AR in .223/5.56 and feed it 77gr OTM if you want long range accuracy.

Another note, .224 is also so high pressure and velocity that it just shreds bores out in a few hundred rounds. Federal took the cave man pill of "grug put more boom dust and heavier death rock in firestick, make firestick more boom-boom" without considering barrel life whatsoever.

Anything that is chambered in 7.62x39 can be rebarreled for 6.5 grendel, almost like 6.5CM is just a barrel swap on a .308 gun.

From my friend who is a gunsmith, he said that Grendel does the same thing with killing bolts so essentially I am either shredding bolts or barrels. I want something that will last longer.
I do have a nice rifle with a 1:7 twist rate, but it's a bolt gun (which once again GF likes because I have made the thing where it has no kick at all and the scope I put on it makes it really easy to see what you want to hit) and she and I want something else in semi automatic. Also AR style is easier to customize and Goth Waifu wants it in black and red (which holy shit this is going to probably at the end of the day be more expensive of a build than my 50 cal or my pet project 4 bore.), though to be quite franks she is more interested in the Grendel than the Valkyrie at this point because of the kick.

The reason why x39 bolts break in AR's is due to them just milling out the face of a .223 bolt leaving a really weakened lugs.
564c6f No.651844

Neat. So a solution to this is buying a higher quality bolt or one specific to the Grendel?
7e42a0 No.651855
>>651844
In reality there really isn't a solution, its more of a matter of luck. Only difference between a grendel bolt and x39 is .012 of an inch. If you're dead set on something in 6.5, build an AR-10 in 6.5 CM and set a decent break on it.

>he said that Grendel does the same thing with killing bolts
Yeah, if you wanna get a grendel, I wouldn't get an AR-15 based platform, people just mill out the bolt face until the walls of the bolt are, like, 1/16" and wonder why they break. There are other firearms chambered in 6.5 Grendel with proper bolts though, such as the XCR-L or some AK variants (I think Vepr has some). We'll just have to wait for an AR-10 based 6.5 Grendel rifle akin to the CMMG Mutant.
And if you want customisability, RA has a gunbuilder type meme thing on their website that's pretty fun, you can custom tune your rifle to whatever you want. https://robinsonarmament.com/xcr-l-rifle/
Like I said, a 1:7" 18-20" AR-15 with heavy ammo is probably your best bet. But if you wanna be a good colonial goy and support British cartridge designers, then get something like an XCR in 6.5 Grendel.

Eh, not really worth the effort but ok.

Literally a HK33, the first one of the bunch in this action length.

5.45 is the best cartridge currently fielded by any military tbh. Obongo ruined it's potential by banning it, there's literally zero downsides compared to 7.62x39.

But PTR doesn't make one, just shitty Vector and Century ones

Why would anybody want an HK33? So many better 5.56 guns that don't use HK meme mags. They should focus on making cheaper MP5 clones tbh. They should also make some HK21E clones too.

Not much of an accomplishment tbh. Especially since it won't increase its accessibility unless your or your neighbor military uses it. Also soon to be wrong if Serbia actually accepts 6.5 grendel.
>there's literally zero downsides compared to 7.62x39
Aside from poor terminal performance, less muzzle energy and worse mags.
>But PTR doesn't make one, just shitty Vector and Century ones
True, they should, or better yet, make PTR32 in 6.5 grendel with even less efforts for something actually practical not only as a range toy or testament to military retardation.

>HK meme mags
I'd honestly pick any curved "meme" mag over the retarded piece of shit that are stanag straight magwell ones. But especially for the likes of you HK made an abomination called HK G41.

Deciding between getting the AK-V or the MP5 by PSA.

The AKV has a lot of QC issues at the moment, dunno about the MP5 though.

Hence why I didn't buy the first gen AKV. MP5 still isn't out but seeing as they've pretty much delayed it for a whole other year it's probably going to be pretty good to go.
