Thread: At least it's a nice colour green - NZDF choose AR to replace Steyrs

Good on them for going with the 77gr projectiles and not just being sheep. Very accurate in a 1/7 twist. Sux grunts get at shitty old retractable that bumps out of position all the time though!

Looks like a gun worth joining the army for haha

Whats the yellow think for removing the flash hider?

Some kind of blank firing muzzle device.

Yep, like Friwi said. It is a BFA (blank firing attachment) so that the weapon functions like live with blank ammunition.

? They were just a 2"threaded rod with small cap that just covered the end of the flash suppressor (painted red) back in the mid 90's. Did it change?

Blank Firing Attachment BFA

77grain SMKs are awesome (for a 223). My NEA could shoot consistent 15mm groups with them.

Havnt tried those in my NEA it shoots the 60g hornady soft point very well and they are cheap too, Whats the drop like on the 77 grain and powder weight, im running 24.5 grains with the hornadys.

This is what the new rifle will need to do. Who needs a gay looking BFA when yo gat looks vagazzled like this?
