I finally joined the evil black rifle club. Well, I had an evil black rifle before, a Century FrankenFal that actually fed rounds and shot pretty well, but decided to go for something lighter and able to carry more rounds. Yea... I am old and pounds count anymore.
So, traded it for an AR with a PA lower, basic upper, not sure much about it all yet. I have a crap ton of surplus mid 1990s lake city .308 (over 3k rounds at least) that I will be looking at trading for .223, based on value, I would estimate a 2 for 3 or 3 for 4 ratio depending on the ammo. I will probably post it up in the WTB for 223 trading and WTS as well. 20 magazines as well, 12 steel and 8 aluminum. Those are at least 15 each for the steel and 20 to 25 each for the aluminum. Those will go up for trade as well, looking for good 20 and 30 round magazines. Just need to get me some photos and I don't really feel like doing it right now... again, the old thing. Going to go out and have a beer and burger tonight instead.
Anyway, can someone school me a little bit on these evil black rifles? Well, evil black carbine in this case. I kept my Aimpoint 5000 (pretty good 2x magnification and battery life). That will do for optics for now, but what do people recommend? Also, a recommendation for backup sights. And if anybody knows of anyone looking for some good .308 ammo or FAL magazines, please feel free to post or PM until I get photos and the WTT/WTS up.
