Overview
Mega Arms teased us with a small frame .308 last year known as the SF-Maten .308. This year they promise it is coming to a store near you.
What is the big deal with a small frame? The weight man, the weight! This .308 rifle with 16-inch barrel configuration weighs just 7.4 pounds!
How did they do that? Magic mostly. Truth is, I have no idea. But I want to find out. Every extra ounce seems to have been removed from this rifle. Yet, it still feels sturdy.
Specs
- Weight: 7.4 pounds
- Barrel Length: 16 inches
- Caliber: .308
- MSRP: $3,200
Impression
The other great advantage with a small frame .308 is that 70 percent of the parts are interchangeable with its AR-15 counterpart.
The AR-10/SR-25/.308 AR market has always been a cluster of epic proportions because there is no standard. An AR-15/ M-16 is a military weapon, which means standard sizes. The M-110/ SR-25 wasn’t adopted until much later in the game, which meant the .308 market was the Wild Wild West. You want that in DPMS pattern or Armalite?
Well, this small frame .308 from Mega Arms should solve most of those standardization problems.
