Nice CAG! Function test it yet? What do you think of the progress of my AUG?

Looks good. Are you gonna put an optic on it? I'm hopefully going to be buying an optic for my Galil this weekend. Either a Vortex Strikefire or a Bushnell TRS-25
I'm also thinking of maybe a low powered scope, but not anything like an ACOG. I sure as hell can't afford a $2k scope.

I've got my eye on the ARAK-21 as my next AR build as well as the ARES Defense Shrike/MCR.

I've been looking at an ares too but an SCR. I want to add a custom machined extended magazine release and a troy left hand side release, get a nice trigger job on it and mate it to a monolithic upper with a match grade .223 wylde barrel. Then mount a Ching sling and a scout scope on the forend along with a lightweight bipod. Basically it's a scout style AR.

I'm planning on getting a PRI Mk12 Mod 0 upper to go with the ARAK-12 upper. I'll be using a Lancer lower with the modular mag well and one of those new Troy collapsible stocks that are like the MP5 collapsible stocks. I'm also going to build my wife and son each lightweight KISS carbines with keymod rails and MagPul CTR stocks. This will all be after I get my 308 AR bought, which I'm trying to decide on which rifle currently. I've narrowed it down to the LMT MWS308, the LWRC REPR, and the PWS Mk220. Whichever one I choose will be my go-to self defense rifle.

I'm a big fan of lmt. The brits use it as a dmr and they found it was more reliable then the HK417 even though the lmt is a DI and the HK is piston driven, they're just that well built.

I've also heard rumors that the SAS and SBS are using the LMT with a 13.5" barrel as a heavy carbine in situations where the M4/HK416 won't cut the mustard. LMT just released a 13.5" barrel to their lineup, so there may be some truth to that story.

I've read in a couple places they use canadian built c7s over standard m4s as their regular weapon. You mean they added a 13.5 to their 7.62mm model? Geeze the muzzle flash from that must be gigantic like an old hk53, this is just me thinking out loud but I'd bet they keep a suppressor attached to that most of the time.

Nice Galil, Anime Girl. I've got a taste for AK-derived firearms in general, so don't mind my bias.
I also have 54R yellow-tip heavy ball, if you're interested in getting some for your Type 53. I hear it works great in carbines, and I have a ton of it at home. It's not easy to find right now, and I shouldn't really use it in my PSL build anyway. I know this isn't a buy/sell/trade forum but I thought it would be worth mentioning.

I would but I already have an AK (albeit an incomplete one). Their .308 model would be more the thing to get, in my opinion, but that's just because I prefer the heavier stuff if possible. I certainly don't have anything bad to say about Galils in general, though. But as of late, I'm looking to invest in other things for a while. Rolling your own is costly!
Also, a little off the topic, but in the pipeline for yours truly:

So the BAR has always been my favorite gun. I always wanted to see a modernized BAR and a company called Ohio Ordnance, who makes a semi-automatic WWII-style BAR, just came out with the HCAR...a modernized M1918 BAR. They cut the barrel down to 16", put modern furniture one it, rails for optics, sights, and other accessories (yes @Woody Chan, customize!), put a hydraulic recoil buffer in it, re-engineered the safety, magazine release, and charging handle to make them easier to manipulate, and lightened the receiver. All in all they took the weight from 21lbs for the M1918A2 BAR and brought it down to about 12lbs. This...this is my dream rifle. Best of all, they kept it chambered in .30-06 and are making a civilian legal semi-automatic model. I must have this in my life. I think I'm going to hold off on getting my Cadillac CTS-V next year and buy this after I get my Lewis Machine and Tool MWS308.L129A1 and my Springfield TRP Operator 1911.

It looks good, Dude. I'd like to give both versions a try. Got to be expensive to fire after a while, though 
Speaking of 30-06, I've thrown around the idea of constructing a PSL in that caliber. But not until my 54R one is done. After all, I am kinda putting the cart before the horse in that regard.

Well in about two months I'll have one of these bad boys in my collection. I've been wanting one for about three years. I've currently got $1150 saved up for it and my next paycheck I'm going to put it on lay away. I'm pretty damn excited about it. With some luck I'll have it ready to go hog hunting in Texas with my buddy Mike.
It's a Lewis Machine and Tool MWS 308. The British Army adopted it about four years ago as their new Designated Marksman Rifle and they've been really happy with their's and I believe the New Zealand and Australian military have adopted it as well.

I am thinking of picking up an AR18 with my tax return soon. It's seriously so unloved for how great of a rifle it was. Most of these 'super fancy game changing tacticool rifles' that people are shitting themselves over recently like the G36, SCAR, etc. use the same short stroke gas piston system and one could say they are just AR18s in a fancy package. I would love an AR180B the most since it can use standard AR15 magazines or an AR180 made by Howa in Japan but all the AR18s I've seen so far are Sterling made or Armalite made.

Actually the original AR-18/180 took a similar, but different magazine that were not cross compatible. Armalite made a modern one about ten years ago that took AR magazines.

Yeah that's what I meant. The AR180B is the one that can take AR15 magazines but I can't find an AR180B, just AR180s.
