Russian ammo is great in my AK. I don’t care if it keyholes after 5,000 rounds.
Won’t feed it thru my AR.
But 7.62x54R is good stuff, just clean after use. (Dragunov’s suck, sorry.)
Buy an FN/FAL instead of Russian “sniper rifles”. 🤮🤮
Why won’t it feed through your AR? My roommate buys cases upon cases of monarch for his and it always worked and we shoot a lot.
Maybe describe the problem please? Thanks in advance
Keyholing after 5k rounds is interesting as well. Is your AK US built? If so, there is your problem. I buy exclusively Chinese, Romanian, and Bulgarian due to trunnion issues, all of whom chrome line their barrels. Nitrided barrels are great, and are more accurate than chrome lined ones. I only use nitrided barrels on my Mak 90 and change the barrel after about 20-25k rounds.
The lifespan of a chrome lined barrel is more like 50-60k
