Curious as to the answers. Have'nt seen so many offerings since before the import ban. You have avail (forgive me if I get a name or two wrong):

FN FS2000

SIG 556

STG 556 ( US made copy of the AUG)

Magpull Masada
CZ-USA's semi-auto version of VZ58
http://czusa.com/news_events.php
US made FG42
http://www.fg42.us/

Am I forgetting any?

Really want a bullpub - waiting for reports on the AUG copy. Why did'nt FN leave the military scope setup on the FS2000?
I finally got to play with the SIG rifle. Looks like a SIG trying to be a M4. Would prefer a fixed stock and attached sights - something that looks more Swiss issue.
The ones I think I'm going to buy are the semi-VZ58, and one of the SCARs.

CZ's Vz-58

The FN would be nice too.

Military Vz-58

The Yugo M76 looks good to me, but at $2,400, I won't be getting one.

I would say the Masada and sig 556. But I think I am just going to build another AR.

I've been following the FG-42 website on and off for the last few years. They've done an amazing job with the machining, and I have no doubts that the final product will be absolutely beautiful. Heck, I'm drooling over them. But the price is simply too much for most folks to handle, I think.

Those who are already in the class III world and are used to those prices, can I'm sure stomach them (especially compared to what an authentic class III FG-42 costs).

Not a 'new' semi, but I'm drooling over the latest Century import Romanian PSL.

 

[SfcRet]

instead of drooling, I got it

 

[LuvThmGuns]

Both of these look pretty cool

FS 2000...sadly I live in California. I believe we can have them if they are disassembled but hey, that's no fun.


A G43 would be a close second but they are +1K. That's a lot for a C&R. Maybe once the Ruskies dump their load of G43s the price will come down.

 

[Vaarok]

Vz-58, of course. They're mechanically all the good parts of a FAL and AK, rolled into one. And they're Czech, so you know they gotta be good.

 

[RMTactical]

The Masada has caught my eye. I won't be the guinea pig for it though. I will wait and see how it works out, if it comes out...

 

[highestangel]

Not really a new semi, but I've been doing some major drooling over a BAR 1918A3. Got BAR?

Yep, I bought what I was dreaming of too. Norinco M305, shortened to 18.5", Vortex flash suppressor, Springfield scout mount, Boyd's stock, and a Beretta Garand rear sight in place of the crap-tacular Norinco one. I'll put an Aimpoint Comp M2 on it when it arrives.

 

[M240G]

The one that has me on the edge of my seat is the new Kel-Tec 308 bullpup that debuted at the SHOT Show. Supposed to be out in 2008 sometime unless things have changed.

 

[1911crazy]

I'm very Frugal and refuse to spend that much unless its for a "full auto" that would be the next step after the semi auto's or when our collection rounds out. But the semi auto belt feds look interesting too. Some of the prices for a semi auto rifle are just getting out of wack there silly too.

Right now for the past few years its been the Russian Izhmash Saiga I/we can own a brand new quality russian izhmash ak47 in a sporter wrapper thats unmatched in performance and in accuracy too. I think its the most bang for our buck right now. Thats my own personal opinion. Everyone can afford one too its that affordable.....

 

[John C. Garand]

Moving to Canada so I can get a MP44

 

[Vaarok]

I'd just put out there that I've handled the semi-auto BARs, and I wasn't impressed. WAY too heavy, akward, low-capacity, spendy ammo, and crude design compared to my DP-28, and priced far higher.

 

[magnusatcenterfire]

We had a semi MG34 in here yesterday that I think would make the coolest deer rifle EVER.
