Hello forum this is my first post. I found your forum by searching on the above topic and maybe some of you will have the answers.

I decided that it would be cool to buy a "black" gun but I don't want to own something that has been nerfed, so I'm not interested in some model that should be select fire but has been broken so it's only semi. This caused me to think about designated marksman rifles because in real use they are used as semi-automatic rifles. Many of them aren't even select fire.

I also am not interested in the hassle of a restricted weapon. I want something I can bring around with me and enjoy, not just show off in my basement, so I really want a non restricted rifle.

I'm also not interested in historic guns. I'd like something modern. Something that lives up to present standards and is something that real mils actually still use.

So is there such a thing? It seems to me that there should be.

I have had a hard time tracking down exactly what is, and is not restricted, but it seems that some arbitrary rules have ruled out some guns that otherwise should have been non-restricted are actually restricted because they are based on a restricted gun, even when even the military model is limited to semi-automatic fire and has a longer barrel.

Suggestions?

If I get some choices I'd prefer something light weight, reliable and obviously in a DMR gun you want it to be accurate.

Please define "broken so it's only semi" ?

A gun that was designed fire automatic fire made certain design trade offs. Different trade odds would be made for a semi. A gun used as a semi in real use has obviously been validated for that purpose.

But mostly its emotional: I want to be able to say what I have is the real thing, not a fake, and not nerfed. So if I can only get a semi I want a gun that was meant to be a semi.

So is this a collection thing? Are you shooting it, I am a little unclear on what you are actually looking for? You want a semi auto rifle that was never intended to be full auto?

A little of both but yeah I want non restricted so that I can actually use it. I want a rifle that is spec'd semi auto in its actual service role. Many such dmr's are based on a design that is fully auto but they are built semi. Probably for accuracy reasons.

For example the m110 is a semi auto although it is based on AR15. It's semi auto because that better fit the purpose of the rifle, not nerfed to fit a regulation.

Swiss arms classic green/black. I have one of the "season specials" shot a 4.5" 5 shot group at 400 yards on the weekend with factory ammo.
