One day...
Been on the lookout. Seen any for sale?
I've been having my eye out for a cetme, but I may just have to save for a galil ace. HK are not in the realm of reasonable pricing for a rifleThe CETME can still be found reasonably priced.
It's German cousin on the other hand cannot.

Flightlight SCRLooking for a 556 rifle but trying to get something besides an ar. Any suggestions?
Yup I've been looking through them. I think i just need to be ready to drop some cash on something that's allI went 6 pages deep in the rifle classifieds.
Didn't see the Malcomar I was looking for ( it's been months since I saw ad)
There was at least 1 cool 5.56 option on every page. Well under $2k in all most ads.
I could tag you in a few.
Very TrueLemme put it this way.
You can barely buy a mini 14 for $800 anymore. They used to go for $300/350 all day. If you want a cool new rifle, rat-hole a solid 2 grand.
Because mags ain't free.
Been looking to get another rifle besides my ak and I want to see what other options I have for an 556 gunAre you trying to avoid the modern military look, or just want an alternative to the AR, like most of the suggestions above?
Not a semi-auto, but still faster than a bolt action, is the Remington 7615.

Yup you are totally right. Budget is the main thing and how much I want to spend. It seems everything has been getting more expensive these days..I really like the AUG. It's a bullpup so some folks will say they suck, but I actually own 2 and speaking from experience they are pretty solid rifles. They run great, are accurate as hell, same barrel length as a full-sized AR, but with the overall length of an SBR and most of the weight closer to the shoulder so you don't fatigue as quickly when shooting. The trigger isn't great and if you want to mount lights and lasers it's probably not the gun for you, but it's a reliable and comfortable weapon. If you're ever in my neck of the woods, happy to let you test mine out.
Other bullpup options out there include the Tavor, KelTec RDB, Desert Tech MDRX, Springfield Hellion, and a few others.
If budget is an issue, another often-dismissed option is the KelTec SU16. Functions kinda like an AK, takes AR mags, is not pretty but can take a beating and keep on shooting.
Beyond that obviously the Mini 14 and CETME come to mind, as mentioned above. The SCAR 16, though kinda spendy. The DRD Sub-6 looks interesting. There are AK variants chambered in 5.56. HK does a neutered version of their G36 (the SL8), and TommyBuilt does as close to a real G36 as you can get.
Given the number of options out there, the limiting factor is really budget.
