I have a few of AR10's or other semi .308's. Two LWRC REPRS, POF, SIG, HK91, some other this or that....LOL I never remember, and a FNAR. This is my two cents. I bought my FNAR back when they first came out with the light weight 20" barrel. The gun will shoot 3/4" groups with a steady aim. Generally though it's a bit wider than that but I use PP hunting ammo in the FNAR. Most of my ar10 type rifles experience similar accuracy with match ammo. I had a trigger job done on it and changed the stock out. Personally, I have no issue cleaning the gun. The barrel is chrome lined and will last more than a lifetime. If you decided on an FNAR for the price they are great guns. Just don't expect something it isn't cable of doing. I love mine and will not sell it. It's not a go to gun nor is it a SHTF gun. Mine is set up for hunting and it is a straight up killer for that.  It's the second one on the left. Sorry, only pic I could come up with quickly. These are mostly ar15's in 7.62x39, 556, and WSSM. Oh and one POF

Oh and one POF Nice looking covey there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Can you also share where you got your upgraded stock?

The stock is a Browning MK3 BAR Stalker Stock. You can order it directly from Browning. I prefer it over the pistol grip stock for hunting. Also, I don't use the 20 round magazine as I prefer the 10 rounder. The 20 just gets in the way.

I shot an FN for a long time before i built an AR-10. Before the AR market was flooding with options like it is now the FNAR was a solid choice, now with so many options and price point of AR-10s its hard not to build one. I have both, and my FNAR hasn't been outa the safe since i built my AR-10. the FNAR is a shooter though, FN promises sub MOA w/ match loads and it will do it all day. the other up side for me is the AR-10 is just a bigger AR and having a lot of seat time with an AR-15 easily translates to the AR-10. I used an Ultra match barrel when building the AR-10 so it shoots just as good if not better than the FNAR. and AR-10 mags are way cheaper than FNAR. If you want to play with the FNAR just let me know
signature coming soon
