Current options for 30cal semiauto using AR mags?

[alpining]

Hi all - Can someone please school me on what options we currently have in Canada for semiauto rifles in 30 cal that use AR mags?

Thanks!

K&M M17s, Tavor 7, B&T APC 308, RSQ something or other. I think that’s about it.

Modern Hunter is still available?

Depends on how you feel about FRT changes.

yeah, not a lot and all big $. perhaps head over to the main battle rifles sub-forum for more 308 talk (this sub-forum is for poodle shooters ...).

unless you are talking 7.62x39 stuff?

That and ATRS isn't making them right now, they're focused on the modern Sporter instead. So the only modern hunters available would be second hand and I doubt anybody is selling them right now. If someone does sell, it'll go within minutes for for more than the gun was worth new.

Thanks folks, that's a start!

I'm keen on a platform that can use AR pistol mags, which is why I thought I'd ask here.

Can you rebarrel something like a WK180 as easily as you could an AR? Putting a 300BLK barrel on one, for instance.

So are you looking for something capable of being chambered in based off of the .308 parent case (AR10 size, large frame, commonly refferred to as 30cal) or something capable of using .300blk/based off the 5.56 parent case (AR15 size, small frame, not typically referred to as .30cal.)

Opening post suggests former, but last post suggests the latter, and that differentiation completely changes what is available to you.

Sorry, I guess that wasn't clear - 5.56 parent case or similar.

I'd consider 7.62x39 I guess, if it can be made reliable with pistol mags (not sure where things are at on that front.

X39 options:
ACR
180c

.300BLK options
.300 is basically a barrel and some gas system tweaking away from any 5.56 gun even if conversion parts are not premade, and many have kits/conversion parts already made.

FYI you guys failed to read the thread in its entirety, already been clarified he is looking for something in 7.62x39 or .300blk using AR pistol mags.

Do the new Famae SG-542 rifles take AR10 mags? I believe the 540 now accepts AR15 mags.

Acr can be converted to just about anything.

I have 7.62x39 and 30 AR
