    This would be interesting.

    I have a big question. If this gun was designed to accept a mag from a bolt action rifle such as a savage model 10 BA which holds 10 rounds of .308 cal would this be legal to use in this semi auto. ??? Bolt actions are unregulated on magazine size. Be similar to the LAR 15 rule.

    I am in "need" of a main battle rifle caliber rifle... I have been debating tricking out a M1A but this is a WAY better option.

    I plan to get a 7.62x39 VZ58 this would be a perfect "big brother"

    Yes it could even go over that and be 20.....

    The magazine is designed and manfactured for regardless of what magazine fits a rifle ie many pistol caliber firearms shoot 10 rounds because they use pistol magazines that are limited to 10 were if it was a rifle mag it would be 5

    Hi calber pistols are 5 rounds because they make the same magazine for the rifle and the pistol

    Interested depending on the magazine type. Standard FAL mags, SR-25, AR-10, M-14, maybe even SCAR, or proprietary? M-14 or FAL would be the wisest choice (IMO) due to the "Rock In" style and surplus prices (thats assuming the .308 VZ reciever was designed for tilt in mags). I'm not a fan of proprietary mags. SR-25 yes, Ar-10 no. At any rate please don't make another .308 battle rifle with proprietary mags, theres already to many.

    Great call Wally.

    I'd be into this setup also.
    I'd like to see a 20" chrome lined barrel too.

    I hope there will be enough interest to move forward with this project.
    Ounces leads to pounds, pounds lead to pain.
    Light, strong and cheap - pick two.
