7.62 x 39

[hornetguy]

Ain’t nothing wrong with a 10 round box mag or if you have an all original Chinese with the 20 round box mag I’ll trade you for something lol.

Yeah, and I have a bunch of rounds on stripper clips, ready to go..... so I don't really "need" another, but....

An sks is a fine rifle. If I had to use one for conflict it wouldn’t hurt my feelings. Sure I couldn’t lay down cover fire by myself as well as I could with an ar of ak, but it’s a great rifle for various purposes.

my Romanian AK and my Yugo SKS are both very good shooters and would
never part with them.

When I decided to get something that shot commie ammo, I first bought a couple Norinco SKS and then a Norinco AK thing later. Unfortunately, the AK was slant cut for a thumbhole stock and now wears a Choate stock, which is OK.

I really don't see 7.62x39 in an AR... It just wasn't designed for it.

If I'm going to shoot 7.62 x 39, might as well get the gun it's made for.

 

[majormadmax]

Yes.... I have one.... a Norinco I've had since the early 80's... it's never failed, even once.
I am just thinking of something with detachable mags, higher capacity... for the likely zombie attacks.

Please do not Bubba that Norinco SKS!!

The duck bill mags for the SKS are crap!

 

[Spcwolf]

SKS. Just saying.

My yugo sks is stupid accurate, no reason to get an AR in this caliber when it’s more suited to 223.

Yes, the SKS.

 

[zackmars]

Since the AK is just a stolen m1 Garand that was flipped upside down, the M1 Garand is the best choice.







Ill let you guess which caliber is best

 

[O.S.O.K. 1961]

My choice. I have taken it to the range it shoots well - an accurate copy - which means 3-4" groups at 100 yards with ammo it likes if I can see the sights (if the light is favorable) - my eyes ain't what they used to be....
And I just bought another case of ammo from a place called Top Gun Ammo - Privi Partisan brass cased boxer primed for $546 shipped. That's a lot of reloadable cases...

Oh, no.... I wouldn't do that..
The only mods I've done were for comfort... because I was tired of my thumb smacking my nose in recoil, I added about 2 1/2 inches of wood to the butt... used a piece of dried maple from a tree I had cut down in my yard. After fitting it, I put the metal butt plate off my Swedish mauser on it to "finish" it out. It's difficult to see the joint, unless you get the light reflecting on it...
I then spray painted it black, so it would be one of those evil black rifles.
I won't mess with the magazine...

I just like the caliber, probably better for serious SD work than the 5.56, and thought it would be good to have the option of detachable mags.

I absolutely don't "need" to add one to the collection.... but since when has "need" been first priority?
Plus, I have two AR's, so I should have two 7.62's....

SKS bayoless Paratrooper. PAX

 

[popsgarland]

When it comes to 7.62x39 an sks will always be in my collection.

I love em.

Agreed and I have about 1,800 rounds of the 7.62x39

 

[deemus]

Have a Bear Creek AR. Had an issue which they resolved by sending me a brand new one.

Have had zero mag issues with the Stoner mags.

It’s surprisingly accurate.

Had a SKS fir a long time. Zero failures.

 

[Darqhelmet]

AK. 7.62x39 has a bigger head and that thins out the wall on your boat. They break faster, mags are a bitch, and if you want .30 cal out of an AR .300 black is the way better option.

 

[LL_Spartan]

Honestly for best out of the box performance I'd rather take the weapon designed for 7.62x39 than an upper slapped on whatever random lower.

 

[Khanhn02]

If you guys had a choice between an AK 47 and a 7.62 upper for an AR15... which would you go for, and why? Accuracy? Reliability?

AK-47 because it’s way cooler

 

[deemus]

AK-47 because it’s way cooler

Wished a thousand times I hadn't sold mine. Pre-ban.

 

[skfullgun]

I dont care for the AK when it comes to hunting.
I bought a Mini-30 and a CZ bolt action carbine in 7.62x39 and love them both.

Wish I had not sold/traded my SKS.

 

[Mohawk600]

I would rather have an AK than an AR in 7.62 x 39 because the platform was designed for it.
