I’ll tell this story for the last time, promise:
A buddy of mine won a raffle for a gun - pick out of a list. He asked me what to get and I suggested the C308 instead of a 10/22 or a Glocky-puck.
After it arrived he promptly handed it to me to break in and figure it out, since he’s not much of a gun guy.
I took it apart, and cleaned what appeared to be a crapload of grit and sand out of the action and charging tube. Reassembled the thing, took it to the range, and warmed it up. To say it was rough was an understatement.
Accuracy was nearly impossible due to the wretchedness of the trigger and sights. I’ve dealt with sub-par weapons before (used to CCW a CZ-52 and a H&R .32 revolver), and I’ve also learned how to achieve hits at 500 on bowling pins with an AR 308 I built from an 80%, but this C308 just couldn’t group.
I even handed it off to a group of Cobb County cops who were there with their gun guns (one guy was fiddling with his SMLE and getting hits on my bowling pins) and they had similar results.
So, given my ONE experience with the C308, I’m going to arrogantly decree that they’re all trash and if you had a good one, it was a misidentified FAL
Sounds like I should go to work for Sootch now...
