battle rifle
Battle rifles are post-World War II, magazine fed, military service rifles, that fire a full-power rifle cartridge, such as the FN FAL, the M14 and the H&K G3.
The term "battle rifle" was created largely out of a need to better differentiate the intermediate-power assault rifles (e.g. StG-44, AK-47 and M16) from full-powered automatic rifles (e.g. FN FAL, M14 and H&K G3) as both classes of firearms have a similar appearance and share many of the same features such as detachable magazines, pistol grips, etc.
This term may also describe older military full-powered semi-automatic rifles such as the M1 Garand, the MAS-49 and the FN-49. Before the 1990s, the term was not well defined and was used as a general description for all types of military rifles.

I am just curious about why get a MSR/Battle Rifle in 308/762 NATO? This pertains to AR10, FAL, Cetme, Scar, HK 91/G3, M1 etc. Please don't just say it is America so why not? I ask why not just take an M1 Abrams into gang areas and solve the problem? I ask for input and information because I am...

I have a PTR-91 GI for sale here in the Portland area in need of a new home. Approximately 200 rounds downrange (just broken in). All stock configuration.
The PTR-91 is, for all practical purposes, a Heckler and Koch G3 battle rifle made in the United States. They are nearly...
