Yea... that's why .300 Blackout was invented.Originally Posted by JSGlock34
Since we're talking about .308s, this was at the range the other day. Even the owner seemed to be complaining of the concussion. I'm filing it under "just because you can doesn't mean you should..."
Saint Victor .308 Pistol
A sub 16" .308 is about like a snub nosed .357mag, lots of extra noise and flash for the minimal (if any, if not less) terminal performance gains over .300BO and .38spcl..

If I didn’t live in a ban state I would have one.Not super practical in the days of red dots and variable power optics but still an interesting gun in its own right. It belongs in with talk of FALs, G3s, M1As and the like.

Yeah...nice wood.
Speaking in a truly hoplogical nature of course....
Working diligently to enlarge my group size.
I love shooting my 42" barrel flintlock Kentucky rifle, doesn't mean I need a lecture as to how it is not sufficient for modern warfare...
Built two FALs, on DSA receivers, back when Imbel kits were sub $200 (didn't get in on the legendary $99 ones) and NIW mags were had for under $10. The first one I built is still in my safe and gets shot frequently. The second one is with my son who enjoys it frequently. They are really cool rifles and will still do the job originally intended for them. I'm not a skilled HS/LD operator (not even close) so I'm free to just enjoy the nostalgia of them.
The ultimate flex would be to ambush a high speed gear queer with that flintlock so you could then loot all their high dollar gear for the cost of a wheel weight and a few grains of Pyrodex.

It's a 20 year old DSA Stg58. Back then it was the best deal going in the FAL world. Other than the DSA upper and the required number of US made parts, it's all Austrian, with matching numbers from the same, as new, rifle. It was DSAs "parts" gun, but it wasn't put together from a beat up old surplus kit. I bought the French walnut furniture from DSA about a year after I bought the rifle and finished it myself. I installed a spring kit from Falcon Arms to lighten the trigger. It did an admirable job of that and while some reported light primer strikes with those kites, I've never had a problem.
At the end of the year it will probably go to live with my youngest son. I don't do much rifle shooting these days due to an arthritic right shoulder and he's always Jonesed after it. I told him, if he wants to spend his weekends running and gunning with it, he needs to take the wood off and mount some plastic. It would disturb me greatly to see that wood bashed up.

And if the finisher isn’t issued with one of these, you don’t want that gear bad enough.The ultimate flex would be to ambush a high speed gear queer with that flintlock so you could then loot all their high dollar gear for the cost of a wheel weight and a few grains of Pyrodex.
