Bayonet is not a problem on the sks. Only mod they did when imported was pin the mag to 5 rounds. If you buy a Garand it can still hold 8. Pistol caliber carbines hold up to 10 depending on the mag it uses. Bolt guns can hold whatever unless it uses the ar mag then you can only have 5. Unless you have an ar pistol mag then it's 10.

over priced !!

[@williamhedrick7983]

Yes the scar 16 is overpriced... For a crappy trigger, A2 pistol grip and plastic and aluminum construction...I don’t hate the 16s but when you think about it there is no “service rifle” today built like the 550 with the exception of possibly the swedish AK-5 It terms of reliability of course you can break extractors and piston assembly springs just like any other Piston operated rifle. I’ve never heard of the 550/551 having reliability issues for over 20 years.... remember it’s basically just a refined AK operating system. The shorter 552/553 can have short stroking issues if you use underpowered ammo which can be remedied by adjusting the gas valve. I agree it should not be on this list because the average dumbass Wants the popular rifles The SIG SAN 55X series of rifles should be on a list of “best made” service rifles. I challenge anyone break one down and disagree... Yes built better than HKs even HK admitted in rifle trials the the 55X is a superior weapon in every way except cost.

Most rifles that had been designed after WW2 in an intermediate caliber are modern enough as far as shooting is concerned. AK, AR and AUG over time only really needed a few rails installed and sights improved, but that's all. AR made in 50s, became an M-16 had been essentially rebarrelled, had its receiver top modified and its furniture replaced. Same goes for the AK and AUG.

[@justinwilliams7148]

Long live the King. You may want to consider that at the time Eotechs were issued with the SCAR-L. It's been over 7 years since then and only this year did Eotech finally settle the class-action lawsuit because of their temperature shifting Eotechs. Back then everyone trusted Eotech and they put all the blame on the rifle Vertical stringing after extended firing sessions does happen with all the pencil barrels though.

[@bigchunk1]

Seems like if you want an AR but not an AR you gotta pay so much extra for it and invite a lot of potential proprietary/compatibility issues. I think it's better to just get an AR.

[@shutokou2099]

Some people also do not like a DGI (direct gas impingement) firearm. It is not reliable, as no firearm designed to inject combustion gas and carbon from the round directly into its chamber ever could be. Put a couple hundred rounds through it, do not clean it, let it sit for a month, and then try it again. You'll come into issues, but many other semi auto designs will not. In combat, you can't always keep your rifle meticulously clean and well lubricated between usage, this was proven in July of 2007 in the U.S. Army's limited competition between the M4 carbine, FN SCAR, HK416, the Robinson XCR (which was disqualified on a technicality), and the HK XM8. Each weapon fired 6,000 rounds in an extreme dust environment, with the XM8 scoring the best, with only 127 stoppages in 60,000 total rounds, the FN SCAR Light had 226 stoppages, while the HK416 had 233 stoppages. The M4 carbine scored "significantly worse" than the rest of the field with 882 stoppages. Gas piston, as well as other designs like H&K's older delayed blowback roller lock, are infinitely more reliable in the field and under adverse conditions. DGI is a poor design choice for anything except a range toy.

[@mariesidman7905]

Jack Smith *most used weapon in combat* "ItS A rANgE Toy" you sound dumb bro

[@rodiculous9464]

some people will pay that extra price for something exotic. also by buying an AR you're just perpetuating the AR circlejerk that's preventing other designs from entering the market. they're fine guns but I don't want to live in a world where you can only get one gun that's not prohibitively expensive

[@wendellsawyer4386]

The guns featured in this video are AR alternatives for people who want to spend 2-3 times or more than what an AR costs.

[@flavortown3781]

Have you ever stopped and considered that since ar15 production numbers are so high, it devalues them, economies of scale

[@codyforsythe2138]

Exactly Jacob. People like Wendell don't understand this whatsoever. You have a platform that has been out for almost 60 years, hundreds of companies producing them to the point where you can pick one up for $400, yet they compare new designs to the AR and expect them to cost $400. From a manufacturing and business standpoint, it will never happen. It cost money to bring new product to market and the cost is passed on to the customer. ARs are the most devalued rifle platform there is right now. Its a great platform, and it is a platform in which most of everything else is compared to. But its a highly devalued platform, an anomaly that only occurs with the AR here in the States.

[@easonridge5961]

Cody Forsythe Cody Forsythe I don’t see the downside to this. I understand it’s cheap because of how overproduced they are, it’s an old design, and the R&D is already done. The result is a widespread market to support a great platform that you can acquire for prices as low as $350. Im sure once the military changes to another rifle and caliber, that’s what will be prolific. In the meantime, I can’t justify spending $1500+ on a rifle that doesn’t do anything significantly better than a decent $600 AR, nor does it have the aftermarket support.

[@codyforsythe2138]

There is not downside at all from the point that we get $350 ARs. Its great. The downside comes to new companies and new products. We all want to see new guns being made. However, any new rifle that comes to market that costs more than $1200 gets flamed and criticized for not being a $350 AR. That's my point. You can't bring a new rifle to market that's not an AR for AR prices. It doesn't work like that. So when people like Wendell make the comment that the guns in the video are for people that want to spend 2-3 times more than what an AR costs for a gun that's just an AR alternative, that isn't correct. We don't pay high prices for guns because we have money to blow, we pay the higher prices because I support new product and don't want 50 ARs in my collection. Yes, if you have one rifle and all you care about is fit, form, and function, the $350 AR is the best value. If you however are much further along than that and like collecting and shooting different platforms, that's where other non-AR guns come into play. Its not all about the most bang for your buck with everybody. I think some people's heads would explode if they jumped into the HK forums and saw what people are willing to pay for certain items or jumped into the AK forums and saw the market for collectible AK mags. The gun community is more than $350 ARs.

The Aussie iteration of the EF88 Austeyer called the Lithgow F90 "Atrax" (You yanks always gotta give guns cool new names), is the new service rifle for the Australian Army. And boy is it awesome...

[@turbotroll8605]

Steyr Aug for me thanks. Full-length barrel in a bullpup configuration combines the best of a full size assault rifle with the compact utility of a carbine, but without all the drawbacks of a carbine. The US move from the M16 to the M4 is in many ways a backward step

The ACR is a good rifle ruined by Remington/Bushmaster.

From what I can tell all Bushmaster did was buy the rights from Magpul and change the location of the charging handle followed by Remington producing the mil/le version.

[@coolbeans6148]

who cares

[@skymanbusiness9042]

I am glad you guys brought up the heating issue changing the point of aim impact. Most do not realize the expansion coefficients between plastics and and metals. Aluminum has a different expansion coefficient, same thing for plastics (or composite) and steel. I favor steel its the real McCoy aluminum is good too. But plastics well too unpredictable in terms of expansion. If P expends at X and steel expands at Y, and Al, expands at Z you will have a totally weird and strange points of impact. The M-16 is good because the barrel is pretty much isolated from the rest of the weapon. You start mixing the materials in terms of structure you will get one screwy accuracy. A single material weapon in terms of running gear would by far be best. Further just to give you a bit more of a headache care in design for accuracy has to do in terms of which part expands faster and which part contract faster as they all have direct impact on accuracy. If one designs the weapon where the barrel and sights are isolated from all the other stuff its possible to have a great accuracy in an inexpensive weapon. Its the old adage if you design it right from the beginning.... it will be as cheap or cheaper to make than creating fixes or modifications later. All that needs to be done is pay attention to the characteristics of the material and design it accordingly. With a simple CAD design this stuff should be easy to do on the computer before any metal get cut. I hope I just told everybody that makes guns how to do it right, so we don’t have to suffer through expensive weapons not being accurate.

I have a Berretta ARX with a SJC titan comp and it is absolutely amazing to shoot. I use a magnifier and at 100 yards the sight doesn't move. It has every feature you could want in a rifle, I'm really not sure why it didn't take off. Quick detach barrel makes cleaning a breeze and they make 10 inch barrels of you want to register it. At 7-800 dollars now it's a steal of you can find 1.

[@pboone1231]

I do like a Ruger mini-14.

[@thereturningshadow]

The HK rifles are probably THE best non AR guns out there. Their only drawback is the price and no last shot hold open. They are accurate and keep their accuracy after one or two mags. They are a smooth firing rifle. They are comfortable to hold prior to firing. They are also not that Buck Rogers futuristic bulky either. Instead #5 on this list it should have been #1.

[@Porty1119]

Lou McGopher Not the stamped rifles and subguns. Those are good quality at generally sane cost.

[@germnbill]

I agree. The one rifle that beats all of the above is the HK416, although it is almost quite difficult to argue that it is not an AR. It really is a G36 in the much better AR, M4, M16 get-up. To be honest though, for the average Joe, an AR of "almost" any make will do the job just as well as an HK416. The HK416 is for the true professional (we're talking operators), who will accept no substitutes in performance and modularity.

[@Goatzies]

Great video as always. However, I must ask in regards to the SCAR (this is for clarification): by .308, you and Chad were referring to the 7.62x51mm rounds chambered for the SCAR-H, correct?

[@gaydolfhitqueer835]

yes

[@PBMS123]

The Australian Military uses the Steyr, and there are a few gripes I have, it's not ambidextrous, unless you like brass in your cheek. No fire selector, just pull the trigger more - in a high stress environment this can be bad, and if you don't have the single sot lock out pin out, or it gets pushed back in. In the Army our standard rifle is the 20" barrel, which makes for excellent accuracy and grouping, and I never really noticed any rounds being thrown by a hot barrel, although we did use the heavy barrels.

The H&K 93 is a good rifle if you don't plan to recover your brass for re-loading because it ejects spent cases into orbit and the fluted chamber does a real number on the cases even if you were able to recover them (once they re-enter from orbit).

I own 2 AR's and fired numerous Glocks, not a fan of them. I prefer other European designs they fit, function, and work for me more. I don't need a Lego gun with a million configurations. I just need one that shoots and any gun can do that besides the AR.

[@OriginalBongoliath]

+HonorableAssasins "WE love to drool over the fancier shit XD ARs/Glocks are there for economy/customizability, thats it." Maybe, but based on some of the comments in this thread there are lots of insecure, butthurt AR fanboys who can't fathom the fact there are people out there who don't think AR's are the be-all, end-all of rifles who have different tastes. They don't need a rifle to hang a bunch of shit on which by the way, every modern rifles these days uses rail systems to mount optics so they can't hold that canard over anyone's head anymore They also don't understand economics that the reason their precious AR's and Glock's are so cheap is because of government adoption and for the AR everyone and their mother builds an AR these days. You can thank Obama for that. Before him AR's were expensive as hell made by a handful of companies.

Kel-Tec RDB w/ Bushnell Mini Tubular Red Dot, normal Magpul buis, Fortis Full Length SHIFT AFG/VFG, UTG Small Rail Cover (directly in front of Fortis SHIFT Grip), & Talon Grips (Rubbery kind, meant for the KSG12) for pistola' grip and extra grip on the back on pistol grip and on top receiver cheek rest area. I had gotten this last summer and here's a story about my rifle. What's odd about mine though is that mine is an experimental model/first production model. Meaning that for some reason somethings where missing from the gun. I thought everything was fine but first time I took it to the range it wouldn't shoot at all; maybe one round here or there, nothing consistent. I went home, called Kel-Tec, boxed it up and sent it to them next day for them to fix it up. Quite a bit of things was missing from the gun. Certain welds weren't where they were meant to be, buffer was missing, and some other things that are on the paper I had gotten back from them. It works fine now though, but the firing pin did just recently break right at the tip about a week ago. I called them up again but here's where it gets weird though. Dude asks if I have the captured firing pin spring & firing pin. I told him that I do. So he says "Ok, I'm going to sens you a non-captured firing pin spring & firing pin,". I say ok and proceeded to give address info. I got my new firing pin & spring today. TOTALLY excited, right!?!?! When I opened it and took out my old pin & spring they looked the exact same. I thought no biggie. The spring was loose from the pin. I checked out the spring and saw the one end was larger than the other. I put the pin in through larger end first then trued to put the rifle back together. It wasn't working though. So I looked at it some more and saw that there's a tiny little lip at the base of the pin. I switched the ends of the spring around but the smaller end was tight to slip on but I managed to get it to the base of the pin to the lip. So then I put it back together and it worked fine, completely 545% normal function. Note though everything I did I tried with the old broke pin first (it's spring too was like the new one but it being older, what is the smaller end is a bit larger since it been sitting at the base of the pin and that's larger than the small end of the spring and it isn't as compressed as the new one.). I wanted to look at the pin & spring one more time though. I noticed that the small end of the spring wasn't correctly seated in this teeny tiny ass groove between the base and lip. So I pulled out my Benchmade Barrage and attempted to get it in that groove. 3rd times the charm, right?? Jabbed the Hell out of my thumb 3 times before I finally got the very tip of the spring on the lip. Once I got that on there I worked the rest of the spring completely around into the groove. Now it seems like it should be (I think, if I'm screwing something up, please do let me know; I have 4 handguns [3 semis & 1 revo] invested into this rifle.). Hopefully I can get to the range this coming week or weekend and try her out and I hope to God she works!! If not then I may just get an AK47 or 74 or maybe, just maybe, the badass SIG SAUER P320 X-FIVE!!
