The number of companies making AR-15 style rifles has exploded in the last couple years. Even some of the bigger names in the industry who had previously avoided the platform are getting in on the action, like Smith & Wesson and Ruger. Now that those companies have an established foothold in the market, it’s only natural that they would want to expand. We saw S&W’s M&P-10 in 7.62 NATO come online at the SHOT Show and now Ruger has gotten into the AR-10 game with their SR-762 offering . . .

Ruger makes some amazing products. Their 10/22, for example, is the gold standard when it comes to rimfire rifles, and Tyler Kee has used a M77 bolt action rifle for hunting ever since I’ve known him. But Ruger hasn’t really made any “new” auto-loading rifles since the Mini-14 came out back in 1973. So it was a huge surprise when they jumped head-first into the AR-15 game with their SR-556 — and an even bigger surprise that it was actually pretty damn good. I had a chance to spend a week in the Arizona desert with it and I can safely say that I had more issues than the gun, thanks in part to the piston system which Ruger used instead of the gas expansion design that’s more common in the AR-15 platform.
Moving from an AR-15 to an AR-10 design should, theoretically, be easy since the AR-15 is simply a scaled down version of its .308 Winchester big brother. But when you’re dealing with that much mass and energy moving around in such a small package, things can go awry. But before we start the gripe fest, let’s go over some of the brilliant points of this design.
The SR-762 was designed from the ground up to be a true “battle rifle” — a lightweight, short rifle chambered in the heavy-hitting 7.62 NATO cartridge. In that sense the rifle hits all of the requirements, but also opens it up to a direct comparison to the FNH USA SCAR 17S which fills the same role.
The stock is an adjustable lightweight deal, which seems more at home on the lighter 5.56 NATO cousin but nevertheless works well on the gun. If I were going to buy this rifle I’d probably swap it out for a Magpul PRS stock, but then again that wouldn’t fit with the “battle rifle” mentality. The gun is designed to be light and slick, and for that purpose the stock is perfect — just enough stock without too much weight and bulk added. The castle nut keeping it on the gun is staked in place, and feels solid against the shoulder when firing or moving around.
The gun comes with a set of folding iron sights, which look remarkably close to the H&K style sights that are in use on the HK416 these days. I’ve never been that much of a fan, but the sights work fine and do a good job for close range work. If your mission requires you to reach out a little further, the gun features a flat-top upper receiver and a full length Picatinny rail along the top of the handguards for whatever night vision or tactical tomfoolery your heart desires.
While we’re talking about the handguards, they aren’t free floating. The gas block contacts the handguards at the front, which usually means a decrease in accuracy when in non-standard shooting positions. However, I didn’t notice any appreciable shift in the point of impact when I was testing the gun while against a telephone pole or on a window sill. Then again, I was only testing at about 50 yards, so your mileage may vary. But while they aren’t free floating, they are extremely comfortable. The handguards come with some grippy panels that you can attach, but the slick design (without any rails on the sides or bottom) allow you to get your hand around them without any of the usual cheese grater comparisons.
The barrel length is a mere 16 inches, the legal minimum, which saves on weight and allows the gun to be more nimble in the field. The barrel itself is cold hammer forged for a longer useful lifetime, and features a fluted profile under the handguards to lighten the gun and provide more surface area for heat transfer when firing. That short barrel is capped with a Mini-14 style flash hider, which is threaded onto the barrel using a 5/8 – 24 thread. That threading is extremely important for those with silencers who are thinking about getting this rifle.
Speaking of silencers, the rifle uses a 2-stage piston system that Ruger touts as being the best in the industry. The regulator is designed so that you can turn it by inserting the tip of a .308 Winchester cartridge in the hole, and the regulator is capable of a number of settings including “off.” This is where it gets nifty for those who are using a silencer, since turning off the gas eliminates the noise of the action moving around and allows you to work the gun as if it were a straight pull bolt action rifle. FYI, for comparison, the SCAR has a “suppressed” setting but that’s it — the gas is either “normal” or “suppressed” with no intermediate positions and no off switch.
I can attest to the ease with which one can tune the gas system, because as soon as I put the gun on the bench and started shooting groups, this happened…
The gun short stroked. For whatever reason the gas setting was too restrictive and the bolt carrier wasn’t making it all the way to the back of the magazine to pick up the next round. I turned the regulator one click further open, and the issue never happened again.
The ability to fine tune your gas system is something I really hope to see in more high-end designs. Not everyone runs the same loads, and while the “average” load is fine for the “average” shooter, if you’re dropping a whole chunk of cash on a rifle it’s nice to know that you can make it work no matter what ammo you feed it. And especially for competition shooters, the ability to fine tune the gas system to the point where there’s barely enough force to cycle the action is a huge help in cutting down the felt recoil of the firearm.
Oh, and the gun takes standard PMAGs. Some AR-10 rifles only work with specific magazines, but this gun was designed to use the AR-10 PMAGs and so they work perfectly. That was one of my major gripes about the SCAR 17S (that it only takes FN’s proprietary magazine), and it looks like the SR-762 avoided that issue.
That’s not to say that the SR-762 is perfect, because it isn’t. Going beyond the technical specifications, there’s a few things that need work on this gun.
Let’s start with the trigger. It sucks more than almost any other trigger I’ve tested this year. In fact, I think I’d prefer the trigger off the Tavor SAR than this one. This trigger feels like you’re dragging it through a gravel pit, and it’s creepier than a tea party with Bela Lugosi. When you finally get it to the end of its travel, the force required to hit the break is closer to that of a GLOCK than a .308 rifle. The SCAR 17S’ trigger is equally as heavy, but without the accompanying awfulness.
If you buy this gun, I’d recommend replacing the trigger as one of the first things to do. While it may seem like an inconvenience, replacing the trigger should be a snap given the wide availability of replacement triggers for the AR-10 platform. Plus, it’s just as easy as an AR-15 — two pins and you’re done.
Second up on the list o’ gripes is the safety selector switch. Normally as long as it functions I’m happy, but on the example Ruger sent me the safety likes to stop before it is fully disengaged. There’s a point where the safety is almost in the “fire” position (maybe about 75 degrees?), but something about the mechanics of the selector makes you have to force it over a “hump” in the track to rest in the fire position. I took the gun apart trying to figure out what was going on, and my best guess is that the detent for the safety selector is simply too small and is getting hung up on something. A replacement should fix that issue.
Despite these issues, there’s no doubt whatsoever that the gun performs.
That target shows six rounds — not five — in about a 2 inch spread at 100 yards. The first four rounds were within the required 1 MoA to make me like the rifle, but then those two rounds dropped into the red and spoiled the fun. I get the feeling that with some proper equipment and a little more patience someone could get some great groups out of the gun, and if I do I’ll update the review.
Shooting the gun is downright pleasant, with the piston system soaking up some of the recoil and making it feel more like a stout 5.56 round going off than a 7.62 NATO round. If the trigger were a bit better, this would be a great range toy and maybe even a good long range gas gun. Not quite a precision system, but it has the makings of a great medium range rifle.
The real question , however, is whether the gun is worth the money. The rifle clocks in at a chunky $2,200, which seems a lot until you start comparing it with the competition.
On the high end, you have the SCAR 17S. Spec for spec, the two rifles have almost the same feature set and seem poised to compete head-to-head. But in this case, Ruger gets the job done for about $800 less and with more parts compatibility and availability. So unless you like the aesthetics of the 17S, the SR-762 seems to be the better choice.
On the lower end is the DPMS 308 Recon giving Ruger a run for its money. With an MSRP of only about $1,560 and many of the same features, it appears to be the better choice. But the DPMS still uses the gas expansion system instead of Ruger’s piston system, and the gas system on the DPMS isn’t tuneable. The handguards are also covered in rails by default, which might be a comfort issue for some people. Some people think that those tweaks are worth the extra cash, and I tend to agree.
In my opinion, the Ruger SR-762 is a rifle that makes a lot of sense. It has some amazing features with excellent performance, but there are just enough little nagging issues to keep it from being “perfect.”

Ratings (Out of Five Stars):
All ratings are relative compared to the other weapons in the gun’s category.
Accuracy: * * * *
It performed well enough, but the non-free-floating barrel gives me some concerns.
Ergonomics: * * * *
I’m not a huge fan of the stock. It just seems unbalanced, like most of the weight is in the front and it wants to tip forward, and it feels a little flimsy to me. Then again, those handguards are great.
Ergonomics Firing: * * *
FIX THE TRIGGER! Please, Ruger, this rifle has so much potential to waste it with a crappy trigger.
Customization: * * * * *
Change whatever you want — it’s an AR-10.

It would take some very slight tweaks to make this gun perfect. But even as it is, I’m thinking of sending a check back instead of the gun . . .
Texting during the movie is rude, during commercials i could care less what you do with your phone. In this case both parties are at fault. However it does not warrent shooting the texter. Deescalation of force anyone?
I found a funny R51 assembly vid in comparison to your assembly vid.

What a dumb conclusion; of course you are more interested in and attracted to someone who shares the same hobbies and interests as you do. That’s why you stay in a relationship with someone.
They need to get this guy a post in Sochi, STAT. He gets to shoot dogs for a living, we get rid of a menace to society. Win for everyone.
When you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. Especially in Bumphukt, Idaho. Go home and hide under the bed, Barney.
I’m sure my wily Glock is just bidding its time but in over 20 years it has yet to fire without a trigger pull.
Hopefully this will cause many (future MDA members) little girls to want to learn bout guns… won’t hold my breath though.
As the gun companies cycle thru and recycle thru ideas to generate sales, I personally am waiting for the 45-70 Trapdoor to be re-introduced as the newest wiz bang Tacticool objet d’art….Holy Cow, now someone at Freedom Group is gonna steal my idea. Dang…
Pretty sure the AR platforms all use the same trigger parts. A better trigger (eg the Rock River 2-stage) is 10 minutes of work to swap in, but totally agree that this rifle should have a better trigger from the factory.
Disagree with the light stock being preferable. Ruger cheaped out here. Weight behind the midpoint of an AR is FAR less of an issue than weight in front of the midpoint. More mass in the buttstock would be a Very Good Thing.
The one thing I dislike about the Rugers is the proprietary handguard. I really like being able to set up my rifles with purpose-specific handguards, and no matter how nice the OEM units are you’re still giving up that choice.
The hole in stories like this is that there is an absolutely HUGE difference between the report of the sighting of someone with a gun and “Shots Fired”.
Reports of “Shots Fired” warrant a definitive response to seek cover. But everyone is being trained like Pavlov’s Dogs to seek cover even at the sight of a spooky gun!!!
So I would suggest that these stories should be completely ignored…at least shamed, unless it is a report of “Shots Fired”. Otherwise you are just contributing to the problem and hence, terrorism.
For a little more money; why wouldn’t I just buy a SCAR-17?
Phone Booth?
What’s a phone booth?
Oh, that’s right now I remember, I used to check the return slot for forgotten dimes when I was a kid.
They are too hard to find.
Only threats and hoax’s come from them now, 911 yeah right..
is there a chance the shooter would leave his/her finger on or near the switch? when the slide goes back after letting off a round, wouldn’t it hit/jam the shooter’s finger/thumb?
Garbage.
Phone booth just screams ‘hoax’
Congrats. And thanks to all the submitters for their hard work. I enjoyed reading all of them.
So someone is exercising their 2nd Amendment rights and people freak out? Are they shooting people because if not who cares? Imagine if every time they saw someone with a turban they locked the area down… GUESS WHAT: If they have a turban, they are harmless…now if they are crashing a plane into a building or have a bomb strapped to their chest, different story…but a turban doesn’t make someone a threat…just like a gun.
From Yale’s website: “Out of an abundance of caution, Police will be doing a room to room search starting with the residential college areas. When they knock on your door, a Yale Police Officer will slip their Yale ID under the door. Please cooperate. In some cases, Police may use keys, but they will identify themselves. Shelter in Place continues.”
Those calls are traced, right? I hope law enforcement follows up on that. If they can figure out who it was, and if it turns out to be a hoax, or even an overblown situation, hang ’em high. Make an example.
From a freakin’ yardarm, if that’s proven to be the case.
Who wants to bet that there is nothing but some jack ass who didn’t want to take a test today?
The AR platform is very nifty when shooting the 5.56×45 and other small caliber ammo. When it’s pared up with .30 caliber class ammo, such as the 7.62 NATO or the .308, the platform shows its limitations.
As good as they are, I haven’t fired a single AR-10 that I would pick over the M1A or one of Springfield’s 16″ SOCOM varieties. YMMV.
What are the limitations of the platform, Ralph?
Sounds even more like a hoax to me. This from http://emergency.yale.edu/ is just ridiculous.
“Yale Alert – THIS IS NOT A TEST
Update message to the Yale Community, November 25, 1:45 p.m.
Out of an abundance of caution, Police will be doing a room to room search starting with the residential college areas. Shelter in Place continues.”
Students in university housing often are required sign away their right to privacy but this is ridiculous. We are just training them that such searches are acceptable.
Hey, Richie….I don’t need your help on this one. Thanks.
Whose to say if they wanna find drugs they dont have a “call” can u say 4th amendment
I have to admit, that occurred to me, too. It all sounds remarkably similar to a cell block “shakedown” in a prison. Lock down the population, saturate the area with cops, and search everything.
Ah, an acutal “teacher”, you are better than some of the other HS teachers i’ve seen. A lot of the work I’ve seen my neices and nephews given is “busy” work that is only somewhat related to actual learning. I mean, how much can one learn from a coloring book and crossword puzzles…and yes this is HS.
Coloring books are pretty obviously a bit juvenile for high schools By that age you should be learning drafting or the “fine arts.” But I think using crossword puzzles is a great idea! I attribute part of my vast vocabulary and my “rooting out of information” skills to doing crossword puzzles. It’s educational and fun simultaneously! My Mom and Dad got me “stealth educational” toys – toys that were fun, but so well-conceived that I didn’t even know at the time that they were “educational.” For example, I remember as a toddler sitting on the kitchen floor playing with a stealth education toy which I called a “number weigher.” It was a simple plastic balance scale, with a stock of plastic numerals with proportional weights. IOW, the ‘1’ weighed one unit, the ‘2’ two units, and so on up to the ‘9’, which weighed in at nine units. That was all there were, and obviously there was no zero. ;-D So I learned basic arithmetic at the age of about 3½ or 4. I’m not getting a dead-tree newspaper these days, and I really miss the Sunday NY Times puzzle.
Mr_B_, keep up the good work!
“Man with gun” calls are the new bomb threat, closely followed by “SWATting”.
At what point do we get better response protocols for MWG calls? This bullshyt is costing us millions.
Like skyler, was thinking that the Sig 716 would be the nearest, direct competitor to this in features, price, and operation. I think I’d rather have the Sig.
Nice work.
I fired a Ruger SR-762 with Leupold 2.5X Scout Scope this morning. Loved it. I’ve had several FALs, a Ruger Gunsite Scout, an Ishapore 7.62×51 SMLE and a Kel-Tec .308 bullpup. This is the most pleasant shooting gun of the bunch. I’m sold!
Pretty good, but about your “Redneck” student — Is he stupid? Is he boinking his 14 year old cousin? Does he have horsesh1t on his boots? Or did you just forget those parts of the stereotype?
Methinks you may be thinking of the stereotypical WV “hick” there. I’m a redneck and don’t even wear cowboy boots.
So if I didn’t want to “shelter in place”. I don’t have to right? I mean – there is no law requiring a shelter in place right? What if I want to go to the store to buy bananas and rent a movie – that’s my business right?
Searching room to room without a warrant seems a bit sketchy to me. More the reason to live off campus away from the
“disarmed mass shooting zone”“school zone.”A company called Canis Design Group sells a M4 to AK conversion. I don’t know if it will work on all types of 5.56 aks and i think it takes some gunsmithing but it is cheaper than the definitive arms conversion.

Now your going off the deep end. Why is there always the urge to look for someone else besides the actual person who commits the crime to be held responsible. “You did do enough to stop that other person from committing a crime”. This whole line of thinking is asinine. We still don’t know the all the facts of Sandy hook. You don’t know that the mother didn’t have the guns locked up. Locks have keys. They can be opened. The only person responsible is the person who committed the crime. If we go in any other direction trying to assign blame that is a slippery slope that I don’t want to go down and no one else should either.
Thanks Robert.
The bottomline – the cops cant save you in time.
This is no surprise and not a reflection on the cops- its just physics: distance/speed = time.
Absent armed guards or teachers on site- you have to make your own distance.
Key takeaways to teach our kids:
1. Dont huddle where the shooter can find you.
2. Run like hell, and jump the fence to get out.
I’d add another lesson learned from Beslan-
for school or mall shootings where there “may” be more shooters than one-
3. Run away from gunfire, but break free of the crowd as soon as you can –
they may be herded into a kill or capture zone.
Anybody know if the top rail over the grip is an appropriate place to mount a scout scope?
Grip safety or no grip safety is not important. What is important is that TTAG commentators learn to use POPULACE instead of POPULOUS when referring to our fellow citizens.
hmm…just in time for the Thanksgiving Holiday…wonder how many folks will miss the report all together.
After reading the report, a number of observations:
1. You are your own first responder. Still true, always has been, always will be. The progressives will simply never be able to grasp this stunningly simple concept, but that doesn’t change the facts. I commented above about the kids in the other classrooms. The reason they do that is simply that they think 20 kids all running in 20 different directions is somehow worse than 20 kids all huddled together, submitting to whatever fate has in store. Again, a progressive mindset failing.
2. The perpetrator killed himself before law enforcement entered the building. What’s not mentioned is where the first officer to arrive was located, what that officer did or did not do, and whether or not the perpetrator was aware of said officer’s arrival. Again, you are your own first responder.
3. Gun safe? What gun safe? Come on, we’re not stupid. Yes, it appears the mother (who was clearly an enabler in almost every way, shape and form) failed to properly secure her firearms, but for some odd reason this highly relevant information was completely left out. Why?
4. Probably not really relevant except to his obvious mental illnesses, but wow 6 feet tall and 112 pounds? I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone so skinny. One wonders if he ever ate anything at all (of course) or not. Perhaps that’s why they mentioned the total weight of everything he was carrying?
I used to work mental heath care for several agencies as a caregiver and later, supervisor. I ran an ISL (small apartment or house with 1 to 3 clients) with a staff of 5 to 8 employees – did all the training, paperwork, doc appointments, bills, etc. THANKFULLY the risk to employees and the public is very low, but agressive and dangerous individuals are certainly out there among you. Although my agency provided only adult (age 22+) services, which is where this perpetrator could have ended up.
I wonder about that. Some of the individuals I worked with retained the the right to vote even though they had been declared legally incapacitated by a probate court judge and guardianship awarded to either relatives or the public administrator. I can think of a couple former clients that could probably have gotten a firearm if they’d thought to do so. (They were definitely the smart ones. Those were always the most problematic too.) Others were just simply dangerous because of their physically violent behavior and/or size – firearm wouldn’t have mattered.
I never had anyone quite like Lanza, though. Maybe one kid with Prader-Willi (boy did he have some behaviors) but that’s about it. (Note: PW and Asperger’s are completely different disorders.)
Clusterfvck is about all I can say in the end. The sad and frustrating part is the fact that so many people who really know better are using it all to drive their agendas, when the bottom line is that it’s simply a tragedy that fortunately, happens very, very rarely.

Sig P516 with SB15 stabilizing brace. I’ve seen one armed vets do everything necessary on their own….including stoppages.
Any big tests at Yale today?
Modern day version of pulling the fire alarm?
Police NDs are a good reason to not find yourself in a situation where you’re innocent but being held at gunpoint. …like the innocent guy in the parking lot. At least they didn’t just light him up in his car like the LAPD did not too long ago.
The students who brought up the questionable factoid that most Americans support background checks were not answering the question posed to them. Unless they actually included some substantive content explaining how to reduce (stopping is unrealistic) violent crime in America they shouldn’t have gotten a passing grade on that question.
I am a C6 quad. I have limited hand and finger function. I cannot control my trunk muscles and have some problem with balance. My current gun is a Rossi Circuit Judge 410/45 Colt. I am able to use this gun in single action as long as I have the spur on the hammer. I do have to hold my breath when I fire so I can stay sitting upright in my wheelchair. I have the ability to clean and load the gun myself. I have picked up and looked at some lever action rifles at gun shows. I am planning on getting at least one. They are also easy for me ti use and clean. The perfect gun would be a short barreled light weight revolver rifle. I am also considering a short barreled lever action like the Rossi Ranch Hand, but with a slightly longer stock. I would like to have a couple guns at home because reloading is far from quick for me. I do not have the capability to clean semi-auto rifle or hand gun. I also cannot fire a hand gun straight. Firing my Circuit Judge works for 1 or 2 shots, but then my hand gets to tired to fire again and I am way not accurate in double action. I would like to carry a handgun on a daily basis, but I have not found one that works for me. I would like to try the Rossi Matched Pair handgun some time.
One other thing to consider is the safety on most guns are hard to work with finger dexterity problems. I can’t even use a lighter for my grill without modifying it.
Don’t forget, there is also the “no re-importation of US made weapons (i.e. WWII garands and M1a carbines) as well. Remember, these were the exact same weapons that even Sen Feinstain made exempt in her last gun-ban bill.
Wait a damn minute! An Illinois DEMOCRAT filed a bill in FAVOR of gun rights? I am afraid to turn around to find out that I am not where I thought I was…
I was in the Army and then worked for the military before retiring. Most senior officers above the rank of major don’t have any idea about sop’s, protocols, equipment available or how to use communications (portable radios) properly. But in the military the senior officer is in charge.
They “don’t have time” for training, so the grunts know more than they do. I was the emergency evaluation team chief (for exercises – plane crash, fire, ied, etc.) for a base. They were supposed to be held every 4 months. Senior management insisted on simulations in many cases as actually doing things took away from real work. They didn’t like me as I wanted NO simulations. When we had no simulations, it was a cluster.
Had a Wing Commander dress down a fire chief, who worked for me because the chief ordered a building evacuation because someone collapsed from fumes (with HVAC operating, that is the protocol), the Wing commander stopped the evacuation.
It does not surprise me that senior management is clueless, they are too busy being politically correct, paperwork and kissing everybodys ass.
In the blizzard of 1977 ( for you old folks), the Army sent up a northern (supposed to work in the north country but politics kept them in the south) engineer unit to clear snow and streets. Their radiators froze, they had no cabs on equipment and if the front end loaders, trucks and bulldozers froze up or broke, they had to fly them back to GA as they had no way of getting them repaired in Buffalo. BUT, it looked good on TV with the C5’s bring in the equipment and taking it home.
NO simulations!
Ripley: How many drops for you is this, lieutenant?
Gorman: Thirty-eight. Simulated.
Vasquez: How many combat drops?
Gorman: Uh, two. Including this one.
Nothing says, “I’m the government and I’m here to help you” like a highly armored vehicle designed to transport shock troops that kick down doors and execute people without a trial.
I have a PA-08 which I purchased after reading this article. I like it very much with two acceptions. I wish it were available in a 3 1/2″ chamber, and if you dare take the upland model duck hunting the finish will flake off the stock if you get the gun wet. Other than that this shotgun is awesome.
Done!

Anybody else enjoy the morbid humor of a man trying to commit suicide by cop, but unable to find a cop because of bureaucratic inertia?
Yeah yhat does suck I’m in the same boat my problem come from an therapistthat lie about what I sead and because I own an gun I’m an damger to my self and other the system is mess up
I think the rule here is, “please limit your posts here to when you’re sober or half-drunk. If you can post semi-coherently when in a full drunk, more power to you.”
Like many here, I speak from experience. Not criticizing you, but it’s hard to put your best foot forward when you can’t put one front in foot of the ot…..zzzzzzzzz.
Has there ever been an incident where:
1. There was a report of a gunman, but no shots fired;
2. The area was then locked down by police and saturated with SWAT;
3. Sometime over an hour later SWAT, in searching room to room, comes across and apprehends a guy actually loaded for bear in preparation for a mass shooting?
I’m just trying to figure out why this particular pattern seems to be standard procedure.
The individual had an “enhanced carry permit.” Does that perhaps mean police officer of something similar?
You know, people keep whining about “HK horrible customer service this…” and “HK too expensive that…” but who here hasn’t made a frivolous gun buy before just because it was fun?
Personally, after shooting a G36 at the Scottsdale Gun Club, I know that regardless of price I’ll be picking one of these up. I’m not an HK fanboy, but it was without a doubt a fun rifle to shoot.
My “go-to” will still be my AR, but this would be really fun to add to the collection.
I have said it here before about this….shoot, shovel and shut up. After Mr. BG is down there is really no need for police, or anyone else. Don’t bury on your property, true, not really that easy in an urban area but in the rural parts no sweat. The problem has bene solved, calling the police will only make things worse. That said, if one follows this route, make sure you NEVER speak of this with ANYONE.
If the above is not possible, I agree completely regarding the gun being one that a person can live with loosing. While defending oneself with a Les Baer or H&K P7 is fine the thought of loosing either to the state is enough to give me apoplexy. Plan accordingly.
I impulse bought a RIA 1911 GI model fro $329. That just seemed like an irresistible price to me. And then I promptly impulse bought 500 rounds of Wolfe .45 ACP for $169. Apparently I have impulse control issues.
That is also why the statists in government also want to assume that role of guardianship over children. It seems more and more that parents are allowed to keep their children only so long as they raise them exactly as the professional education bureaucrats want them to be raised.
There seems to be a major conflict about who the real guardian of a child is, the State or the parents.
I have 3 AR15’s but I have really become AR10 type guy ! My rifle is awesome ! Damn its a badass rifle !
It’s awesome to pay a quick visiit this web page and reading the vjews of all friends regarding this paragraph, while I am also eager
of getting experience.
Geissele 2 stage SSA and you’re done. My factory trigger broke at 11lbs,…creepy, like chalk on a chalkboard. Took 10 minutes to drop the Geissele in,…and it went from creepy to a clean consistent break of 4.5 lbs. It’s the ONLY extra money I’ve spent on mine and it was worth every penny of the $195.
I just got the SR-762. I understand the 0 setting for suppressor, keeping the action Quiet. What about getting the gun to cycle sub-sonic ammo?
I do not know what are those winy ass complains and constant modification, do not like this do not like that. I use it in mud, frost sand water ocean water wet sand dry sand, swamp, Shoot perfectly to safe your sorry ass in need! No modification needed! All complains i guess are coming from people who never been in REAL Combat that this gun will safe your sorry ass when needed! Please stop complain!
