Nope. I was mistaken. It's American. I have a German dubbed versionWas it really German? I just learned something new!
Germans, racist? No, never! Not in 100 years!

More of the one shot one kill deer metaphor.If you're more of a "one shot, one kill" kinda guy (how many shots have you fired/people have you killed yet?), why do you need two rifles?
Addendum: shots fired, started when I was 5 years old and I'm 48 now. I shoot silhouette matches twice a month practice for said matches twice a week or so as my work/family schedule allow. Two or three rounds of trap once a week, 100 rounds of 45acp about once a month just to make sure the Colt Commander doesn't get rusty.If you're more of a "one shot, one kill" kinda guy (how many shots have you fired/people have you killed yet?), why do you need two rifles?
It is beginning to dawn on me that the mag thing is going to be problematic. Pretty much every gun manufacturer has a bolt gun with a DM in their catalogue. Somehow I thought that compatibility would be easier.Honestly, if was building an ar 10 (which may or may not happen. Oh, who am I kidding...), I'd consider a build in 6.5 Kardashian (Creedmoore), that round is intriguing in the ballistics department, and the barrels are readily available. As far as the mag sharing goes, I don't see that happening in .308 and related cartridges. In 233. You'd have the Mossberg MVP that could share mags with your AR15, and I'm sure there are more bolt guns that use them, but in 308? Not to my knowledge. You would have to modify the AR to take AICS style mags, or the bolt gun to accept SR25 or DPMS mags. I don't know how handy you are, but that sounds like a major engineering project to me.
Great articles. Thanks for the links. The side by sibe comparisons are very useful.
The BC on the 6.5 boolit is very good. I have a Swede Mauser that still shoots MOA at 100 yards. With the iron sights. From a gun over 100 yrs old. Granted they are my handloads.Honestly, if was building an ar 10 (which may or may not happen.

G-3 mags. I'll look into that. Thanks!
I don't own a G3 or variant, but IIRC from the last time I handled one these mags are pretty wide compared to my AR10. Could be wrong, but they felt meaty in my hands.
They are a little wider but not much.I don't own a G3 or variant, but IIRC from the last time I handled one these mags are pretty wide compared to my AR10. Could be wrong, but they felt meaty in my hands.
Well that would be an easier project as I have a Russian SKS that could be made to look evil. Plenty of aftermarket swag available. And my son has a Ruger 77 chambered in that round.You could always look into a different caliber, such as 7.62x39mm.
If the SKS has decent wood furniture please don’t festoon it w polymer crap! Everytime I see a tacti-cooled SKS i cringe. Once I was at four seasons they had this bullpup SKS on consignment that looked retarded. So I commented something like “ such a shame there’s perfectly good wood furniture sitting in some idiot’s basement”. My buddy behind the counter made a strange face. Turns out the rifles owner was standing right next to me!
To each his own but I see the SKS as a historical and ceremonial rifle. Even the most beat up ones look good.
Functionality is the most important and fun as in a more challenging project than just swapping a stock and adding a DM.I thought you were going for functionality, not "looks", "swag", and "fun".
Thank you Brother. That is a very generous offer.Hey Fritz - I just noticed your location. If you want to take a look at a CMMG/Fulton AR10 designed for G3 mags, I've got one, and I'm a member at Lee Sportsmans Assoc.
