RRA had to start making their own mags for the LAR -8, cuz most of the FAL/SLR mags floating around wouldn't work with the rifle.

That was early on in the peace beavis. That issue seems to have been resolved if you take everything you read in yank forums as gospel. Ive tried 15-20 different metric and inch mags from used to abused to wont function in an SLR and still havnt had a malfunction from the Lar, but thats just my experience. Some other guys i know with various versions of the same gun seem to like theirs also and havnt had any troubles either. Ive seen more than a few AR15's having trouble in the past. Interesting to note though, i obtained some polymer Lar mags from a friend brand new and there was a note in the bag saying something along the lines of "due to ever changing design techniques you may have to file off this piece here and here so mag will work in your rifle blah blah blah..." Well the mags wont fit in the rifle without running a file over them so i guess its just easier to stick with the old fashioned steel FAL jobbys that are floating around.

To get one you will be looking at about $2500 if you are really lucky or anything out to $4000 if you are really unlucky.

The factory steel mag (FN FAL pattern) that came with my LAR-8 would consistanly double feed rounds. Importer gave me another try and same thing happened. Used an SLR mag and problem solved. Also swapped a SLR follower into the factory mag and this also fixed the problem.
