What are some good semi auto 5.56 rifles?

That’s too bad about the FS2000.

They may have made them better. If I come across one, I will probably pick it up and MAKE it work. I loved the gun for the most part. It would not take any Magpul mag, had to be aluminum but the forward eject and the charge handle were great. Trigger sucked, kind of like a AUG
But if I had the choice between an NATO AUG and the 2000 I would grab the AUG

They look dead sexy as an SBR

They are honestly worth every penny period.

Do they offer pistol versions with a brace?

switchpod · February 22, 2019, 2:15am

Not that I know of, but that doesn’t mean that there wouldn’t be in the future.

Arx accurate? what type of barrel Contour? medium, light, heavy etc.?

JF89 · February 22, 2019, 2:25am

Everything ive read puts it about on par with your Tavor at about 2". Not an AR but still decent and way under the $1000+ that everyone seems to be charging for non-AR semi auto rifles.

LonewolfMcQuade · February 22, 2019, 2:32am

Interesting. I thought they sold a lot higher than 1k

JF89 · February 22, 2019, 2:36am

I am not sure what to make of this but it appears Beretta has done a good job with refining the design.

$800-900 seems average. Just ask Switchpod, he bought one.

RogueGunnWorks · February 23, 2019, 6:41am

I want one of those Berettas myself!

The fall of ACR was the biggest let down in history for me. Remington murdered the concept of the rifle, and then murdered it’s chances for success. They never should’ve changed from the original Masada. Plus, Remingtons death grip on the Rem version being “Mil Only” and the Stag version being “Civ Only” ruined the gun for me. I’m too much of a self righteous gun snob to buy a Stag. The ACR could’ve been the next generation of the AR rifle. Remington killed that with greediness and they got stuck with a fat bill when no one wanted their rifle after the hype died off.

The FightLite/Ares SCR seems like the best modern, non-AR type rifle, but still with a hint of AR in it.

@RogueGunnWorks @LonewolfMcQuade
I highly recommend one.
Name a firearm you like, but no one else does!

My only complaint is the trigger and you can get a better one.

JF89 · February 23, 2019, 3:06pm

Looks like it might not be a rifle that you like but no one else does lol

RogueGunnWorks · February 23, 2019, 3:55pm

I have a love hate with the Fightlite… hahhahahha

RogueGunnWorks · February 23, 2019, 3:55pm

Issue I have is finding a wholesaler who sell it!

JF89 · February 23, 2019, 11:15pm

This is my FN AR15.

I really like that Ares SCR. I think it would look good with a wooden stock and handguard, too.
