H.C.A.R. Package OHIO ORDNANCE HCAR IRRATIONAL DESIRE.
For some reason I want a HCAR, probably because I can not afford a Colt Monitor or a FN/D BAR.
Back about 1980 I shot a SA/FA BAR and liked it.
I wanted it lighter, shorter & able to mount optics.
In 7.62 x 51, I have had several AR10 Armalites, HK91s, Galils, Match & plain M1As, FALs, Garands, FN SCAR 17.
My favorite Iron sighted battle rifle is A Para FAL like 50.63.
I kept FAL, SCAR17.
Anyway in a HCAR there are: 16" & 20" barrel lengths, black (nitride I think) and flat dark earth finishes.
I would like to try one of these at distance ( 500 yds +) as well as closer. My intent is to put a variable scope on it and iron sights as well.
Any thoughts on:
Black vs Flat Dark Earth ?
16" vs 20" barrel length ?
Scope / Mounts.
Anybody: with HCAR experience ? , a good source to buy from ?
Thanks.
