5.45X 39

As I mentioned, ammo is cheap now, and I don't have one,,, that is the reason I want one.

M1 Garand. Pros good hitting power, nice range,historical.Cons 8 round clip. After that SU16 by kel-tech. Uses 223 and AR15 clips. Low kick.

[2aberro]

Let's stop with the plinker recommendations!

[2aberro]

The one gun I really want is a SA Socom2 .308 rifle.

Yep,, nice weapon,,, but my Remington 700/Leupold scope in .308 is unbelievably accurate. Its my "deer" gun.

[Recon by Fire]

All of my friends with AR based weapons have far more trouble with them than those with AR based weapons.

Eh?

M1 Garand. Pros good hitting power, nice range,historical.Cons 8 round clip. After that SU16 by kel-tech. Uses 223 and AR15 clips. Low kick.

Good Info,, had two Garands, sold them,, rifle and ammo heavy. Nice rifle's,,but my old eyes can't utilize the really great sights on these rifles, I want a 5.45x39.

That one is sweet, but it’s kinda heavy. The Scout Squad is a good one too, and a bit lighter.

Not that you could go wrong with either one.

On the list,,, thanks!

AND HERE FOR AMMO DEALS:

Wolf and Silver Bear are 'NC' Non-Corrosive...

[2aberro]

The Daowoo DR-200 is an exception

but it has an AK action.

Ya, I considered a Dawoo,,, but its only available in .223,,, I want 5.45x39. Cheaper ammo.

Keep in mind AK-74 ammo is corrosive and US built 74’s do not have chrome lining so it seems like a waste of money.

Another good way to clean up after corrosive ammo is Windex,, it has ammonia it, which cleans out the salts well. I have no worries w/corrosive ammo.

Bump to read.
I’m curious about the ‘classic’ Lancaster built ones.

[GladesGuru]

The bigger problem with a DaewooDR-300 (7.63X39) is the same with the DR-200: parts are scarce.

We may have a winner.....

but I don't want a milled receiver,,, to heavy and unnecessary for an AK.
