Finally picked-up my G19.

Where did this happen, exactly? I'd like to know which areas to avoid.

Exactly.

Sorry, meant sub-10 inch groups.

Let me re-phrase the question... What kind of accuracy can one expect, from a 16" FN FAL (New DSA clone) carbine, .308 NATO Factory Loads (not match grade), at 1000 yards? If there are upgrades/accessories that will help with squeezing out that last bit of accuracy, please mention them: Ammo? Trigger? etc...

Awww... I love that rifle. Well, my accuracy goal would be sub-10 inch groups at 1000 yards. So not extreme accuracy, but definitely capable of placing a shot were I generally want it at 1000 yards.

My first pistol. S&W 5906 stainless 9mm. I know, not very impressive. But it was my first handgun.

1) Finish my "Battle AR" build 2) Keeping waiting patiently for my PPP to arrive

Would you agree that the .308 battle rifle is a better platform for the Broad Spectrum Rifle? I've had a long-standing love affair with the FN FAL rifle. However, most seem to agree that the AR-10 is a better platform.

Update: I kind realized that my build would neither be Lightweight, nor Cheap. So I've re-assessed my build based on many of the suggestions here. Although I do plan to go with both Iron Sites, and an Optic, I plan to remove all other "extras" that I can do without. - No fancy hand guards - No grips, lights, lasers, etc. - Lower will be as light as possible, without incurring extra costs. New order of Priorities: 1) Lightweight 2) Ruggedness/Reliability 3) Budget $) Flexibility The HBAR hurts me in the weight category, but I will have to work with the upper that I have.

Based on some more research, and the added weight, I've decided against a magnifier. Since this rifle is most effective at short to medium ranges, I will stick with a low-MOA micro red dot. My future .308 battle carbine will hold a 1-8x (or similar) scope, for the longer range shots.

Scratch the Strikefire... Primary Arms M3. Wow, what a bargain.

Hmmm... So, by that calculation, is it safe to say that a 2 moa dot will cover 6" at 300 yards? Vortex Strikefire is a 2 moa dot. According to most of the online reviews, and youtube videos I've been watching, it seems to be pretty rugged.

Will a 3 MOA Red-Dot site work for 300 yards targets?

Updated original post: Rainier Arms Mini Compensator

Dang, that's a pretty good deal. Although weight is a concern, I do like that the Vortex Strikefire has the flip-up lens covers, mount, and 2x magnifier included. However, it's twice the weight of the Primary Arms, or Bushnell TRS-25... I also don't like where Vortex optics have their power switch.

Thank you for the suggestion. The TROY compensator weighs a ton (about 1/2 pound) and I decided to return it. The Rainier Arms comp. is what I am looking for, so I ordered one today (1.4 oz.) Also, the Nordic comp. is on backorder.

Oh, that's awesome shooting vladtepes. So I lose velocity, not accuracy?

What kind of accuracy should one expect with the .308 NATO round, out of a 16" barrel? Trying to decide whether 16" barrel is worth the weight savings, vs. an 18" barrel.

So received the UTG hand guards in the mail. They seem pretty darn tough to me. I actually did a mock "roughness" test and bashed the hand guard against my wood bench several times (not mounted to rifle) Not a dent. It did take off some of the black finish. Also mounted a few accessories to the rails. Perfect fit so far. The muzzle brake however is HEAVY. Cool looking, yes. Effective, no idea yet. But I may return it simply due to the weight of this thing.

G3 Clone? (PTR-91)

Please come back. Which hand guard would you recommend?
