Edjamacate me on the SAR-8 oh great and wise gd. Is it a decent rifle? What are the differences between it and the Hk91? What would be a good price for a 'like new' SAR-8? |

Some of them were Greek made HK91s, pre 89 I think, good rifles, I want one to sit next to my 91. After that they were made with foreign kits and an aluminium reciever. You do not want one of those. Under recoil the steel pin that holds the trunion to the aluminium receiver begins to "egghole" the aluminium. Creating missfires and poor accuracey. Eventualy the weapon will become an expensive club. You can pick out the aluminium version by its horrible looking receiver, it looks like it has been sand blasted and painted black, and a raised pic rail is pemanently cast itno the top of it. |
+1 If it has a rail machined across the top, it's the bad one. The only good thing about the crappy ones is when they failed SA was at one point replacing them with M1As

lol, looks painted and has a pic rail....

I purchased one new in box from a gun store. Took it to the range and I couldn't hit paper at 100. Decided to look down the barrel...  It looked like some poured hydrochloric acid down it. Took it back to the gun store they said deal w/ Springfield. I called Springfield and they told me they use previously used G3 barrels for these "new guns". Told me I could send it back but they couldn't promise it would be a new barrel. Told me I could trade it in for an M1A or any other Sprinfiled product. I won't tell you what I ended up doing with the rifle.

don't fucking touch it!!! The guy who is selling it to you knows what a pice of shit it is... and now, so do you. |
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that is what you don't want. |
