Question; What's available in the uk in straight pull with a bit more ooomph than a 5.56? Last time I shot rifles,, I loved the straight pull AR I shot but thought the .308 cartridges on the bolt actions were much more fun... Is there a 'best of both worlds' option out there?
Someone was selling FAL's, well was last year, but they look a bit shoddy, especially for the money.You could always pick up an AK - cheaper to buy, cheap ammo, fun, but not very accurate.

There is only one rifle I'd buy in .308 straight pull, the LMT. Unfortunately he L1A1's / FAL's doing the rounds are not all that good apart from looking retro cool especially considering the huge price they are going for.That LMT, as far as I'm aware, does not have a side charging handle. Therefore it's a bit of a waste of time. The monolithic upper is very cool though.
I've seen someone use an AI of some kind with a 20" barrel for CSR. A side-charging AR-15 in 5.56 or 300 Blackout is probably the best tool for that job though.
