SPRINGFIELD ARMORY SAR-8

[KML]

Has anybody seen the new SAR-8's?Do they have the right number of US made parts to have the pistolgrip stock or do they have the thumbhole stock?What are they selling for?I would guess the same as a M1A.How do they compare to the HK91 and other clones.

Thanks

They sell for about $1200, about $600 too much. They are the same as a FA G3. They have the same problems as the FA G3 clones also. The "old" SAR-8 were much better rifles.

Concur. I'd rather spend my money on a FN-FAL clone.

Thanks guy's.I was leaning towards a FAL,because of price and the price of 20rd mags.

another vote for the fal clone, have one built on the imbel if you can, and don't mind the type 3 receiver.

if you can swing the additional funds, dsa is the way to go. the dsa isn't really a fal clone, except in the literal sense, but should be considered IMHO a true american made fal

There is a new Springfield here in GA that I think you could get for less than 1K. Looks to be good quality.
Has the pistol grip and a compensator on it. The receiver is blocky with a flatter top for a scope, still has iron sites.

Much better than any of the other '91 clones I have seen!

I'm real partial to the SAR-8 since I have a preban and love it.

I like it more than most stuff out there since I'm confident that Springfield will stand behind it. For the money I would get the Springfield. (Assuming you get it for a K or less)
