    Will there be a 80 lower for G3 or fal mags?

    Just thought why hasn't there been a 80 lower that uses G3 or fal mags.
    Is demand to low for 308 stuff?

    That would be awesome given G3 mags are still had for a $1.99 if you buy in bulk.

      I know there have been 308 designs that used G3 or FAL mags, but they haven't gained marketshare. since there aren't a lot of parts out there for them, hard to make a profit selling 80% lowers for them.

        AFAIK...
        AR308 style lower receivers that accept G3 magazines, must use proprietary non-standard upper receivers due to the width of the G3 magazines.

          I read one build and it just needed the upper to relieved so the G3 mag would fit. That was with a lower that used G3 mags. Maybe more to it than that? Kinda surprised there aren't any yet. Maybe for a polymer design would be doable. Just started reading about the polymer 308 80s.
