    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    Whoa man. Thought I'd share the love. $440 base price AND a $100 rebate from Ruger . Pretty screamin deal if anyone following is interested . . . ...

    SADU is Romanian. I should have known that from some 54r I have. Begs the question, dating back from 2007 - corrosive?

    Whelp, I may be starting to develop and affinity for this little bargain rifle after all. I’ve cycled JB Bore Paste many times and the action has smoothed out a bit. Still a bit of a chore pushing/pulling over the magazine but this to shows signs of improvement. I may file/sand mag feed...

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    So far I worked the bolt and lugs slathered in bore paste for what must have been hundreds of times. Without magazine installed it does indeed seem improved, however, mag loaded wi snap-caps it still and awful action. pushing and pulling the bolt. Turning bolt down and up with mag installed it...

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    To be clear, I understand some lapping compound or JB Bore paste applied to the bolt lugs and worked over and over should accelerate aging/break-in/smoothing of that function of the action (turn and unturn of the bolt). And I’ll rty that. Still, pushing/dragging it across a loaded magazine is a...

    RAR in 762x39 - First day out, First impressions. I put a Nikon P-300 BLK 2-7x32 BDC Scope with SuperSub reticle for trial. It’s mounted via ARMS 22 (low) throw rings (love these things) Have previously used this on an SKS-D but been on the shelf for years. The BDC reticle is for 300BLK...

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    So MTD says I'd have to use their MDT LSS-XL Gen2 https://mdttac.com/lss-xl-gen2-chassis-system/ and select the "Ruger American SA AR inlet". I guess then I can choose what ever 762x39 AR mag I want. Pricey at $500+ and still have to get stock and pistol grip. KRG says maybe try a 6mm ARC...

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    Now on to a germane question: Chassis and magazines. One of the prevailing reasons I chose the RAR - multiple magazine options. What will my magazine options be going with the various chassis systems? I've read some would accommodate some kind of a bottom metal plate allowing use of a various...

    Bakwa, while I appreciate your input, I have been shooting milsurps wi corrosive for years. I know how to clean up fast vs. detailed. Respectfully there seems a difference between uncasing a rifle and tossing it back in the safe (after non corrosive), uncasing and making a detour via the bench...

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    So I finally pulled the trigger (pun intended) for an RAR. $429 + $19 shipping and didn’t get charged sales tax. https://www.familyfirearms.com/product/ruger-american-ranch-7.62x39mm-flat-dark-earth-16976#product_detail I made this post on several of the forums I frequent. Scrubbed through...

    What about mag options? I don't really want Mini 30 mags cuz of the bolt stop feature. And good grief, $100 for a 10-round magazine? I think I read you can get a bottom plate under the action that would allow AR 762x39 mags.

    My wife would lovingly refer to that as baby poop brown. LOL I thought I read somewhere that the RAR could be ordered with a 19+ inch barrel. I know that may only mean another hundred FPS but I'd kind of like the longer Barrel look and feel in a Precision style chassis. In the end I think the...

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    1) The first sentence on my originating post accedes I am not discussing a precision caliber. 2) I said "precision made things" i.e. machined things such as barreled actions. In this case CZ, on their own website, notes the tactical version as 2 MOA accuracy whereas the fixed stock version...

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    I am not calling you a liar by any stretch and maybe that's what was said but for the life of me I can't imagine why any manufacturer of precision made things with lower the spec of the actual item because they think the operators couldn't meet that performance

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    While running errands yesterday I ran into a LGS that had the RAR in 6.5 creedmoor. Probably not entirely Apples to Apples here but I found the stock to be very dense and felt good but, good lord, colors just hideous. Either way I'll be going with having a chassis style setup anyway. The bolt...

    7.62x39 Custom Bolt rifle--Issues

    Seems like the video link above re the Tabuk Sniper here is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand BUT not only am I looking for a x39 bolt gun BUT I'm also having Two Rivers Arms build me a Tabuk Sniper for me out of an old “trench-art” M70B1 kit I've had squirrelled away for years. Weird...

    Virtually zero feedback on the newer 600 series and I'm no longer interested in the 527 which is disco'd and growing expensive in the used retail market. Questionable support for parts, service and accessories. I'm mainly collector of older 20th century battle rifles. This is a different...

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    Maybe beat to death but I hope others may stumble upon all this for learning and their own decisions. I've pretty much moved on from the idea of a CZ527 or 600 (new or old) . I understand I can start out with a HOWA barreled action ($400) and go from there. The RAR comes in lower than a HOWA...

    Unless of course you already have a lifetime supply backed up.

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    As mentioned the only other "precision" set up up I own/operate is an RPR in .308. All I did was change out the buttstock and trigger. Otherwise it's a blaster/tack driver and REALLY impresses me against all the more "sloppy" milsurps and DMRs I shoot. Admittedly I may be making a turn in my...
