Thinking about the basic GI model, .308...do not want a rail, prefer the irons. I handled one and I liked the sights. The rear drum is more of a ghost ring with a relatively wide aperture.
This one had green synthetic furniture and I think, a metal trigger group. A bit awkward as far as the controls but if the weapon is reliable I'll get used to it. I heard they were fairly accurate for a battle rifle.
Any opinions, advice would be appreciated.
