Mattndew76 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Same round as the ak and you can even modify to use 30 round detachable magazines similar to ak47. I make a mod that accepts AR magazines. I'm in the process of doing this to my SKS. like this video of another maker. For you Mike 3 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 But the ar 7.62x39 magazines are terrible compared to the actual ak mags, not to mention more expensive. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 5.56 mags work just fine with 7.62 x 39 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 5.56 mags work just fine with 7.62 x 39 I thought there was a feed issue from the case being tapered more, I'm not an ar guy so I've never experimented. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 That is remedied with a slanted mag-well. I believe it's 6 degrees When I get back to the rifle I will post video and photos Quote Link to comment

dimlight65 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I would blame the kushapup stock for that one, it is an ak after all and I've never heard of one doing that. Chinese mag maybe? SMG mag for a Saiga. Marked "Made in USA" but that might be pronounced "Oosah," the name of the island prison where the Viet Namese slave tribe, the "hand" (pronounced "hond") produce "Hand made in USA" products. 1 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 So y'all might remember a few weeks ago I was lamenting the fact that when shooting the Vepr, I could probably miss the broad side of a barn... from the inside. Well, after having an "expert" laser sight it in... I still couldn't hit paper at 100 yards. I finally took the damned scope off and tried the iron sights. Lo and behold, my shaky, blind, flinching, fifty-year-old ass put twenty rounds of 7.62x54r into a torso sized area! Which is good enough for me. With that knowledge, I took the thing to the 50 yard line and tried the optic again. No luck. Either I'm too dumb to finger out how to use a Russian optic, the optic is garbage, or... well, I guess those are the two options. So, to make a short story long, the Vepr is "Iron Sights Only" for me. Anyone want a PO 4x24 scope? It hasn't been thrown very far. did you bore sight it at all? Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 did you bore sight it at all? The closest I will claim is the "expert" shoved a laser in the muzzle and "sighted it" across the room... lettuce say, 20 yards? I'm not convinced, even though the Russians do it all the time, that the detachable side mount system really holds zero like they claim. I'm not too concerned though. As I shot "minute of bad guy" out to 100 yards with iron sights, that is good enough for me. Besides, I've got good glass on my Mosin Nagant for longer range. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 The side mount hold zero if you have a good mount, some of them aren't even straight. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 lol yeah they are hit and miss. Iv got a cheapy scope and mount on the mosin, I made the mount solid as fuck though so itl hold zero. The gun is accurate lol the scopes what is off still :rofl: but give it a little Kentucky windage and find your POA vs impact and itl still shoot nice groups. This is from this morning. lol dont mind the stragglers and electrical tape, ran out of targets and had to use an old cardboard sheet from last time :rofl: Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 The closest I will claim is the "expert" shoved a laser in the muzzle and "sighted it" across the room... lettuce say, 20 yards? I have one of those in 54r and Iv found that its decent to get you in the right direction but not at all a sure thing. most of them will point to a different spot depending on how the "round" is clocked, the laser isnt perfectly strait. On the mosin I had better luck pulling the bolt and actually looking down the barrel and moving the scope till I had the same sight picture. Im no rifle expert, just what Iv done that seems to work lol I was always a pistol shooter until just this last year. messing with scopes is still new to me. 1 Quote Link to comment

a.d._510_n_ok Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Taking the fight to ISIS? Here's a free rifle If you’re headed overseas to fight against Islamic State and Al Qaeda, then one company may have a cutting-edge rifle for you – at the cost of zero dollars. Pflugerville, Texas-based TrackingPoint is offering 10 free M600 Service Rifles or M800 Designated Marksman Rifles to any U.S. organization that can legally bring them to the Middle East for the fight against terrorism. "It's hard to sit back and watch what is happening over there. We want to do our part,” explained the company’s CEO John McHale, in a press release. “Ten guns doesn't sound like a lot but the dramatic leap in lethality is a great force multiplier. Those ten guns will feel like two hundred to the enemy." “We firmly believe that the M600 SR and M800 DMR will save countless lives and enable our soldiers to dominate enemy combatants including terrorists,” he added. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2015/11/10/taking-fight-to-isis-heres-free-rifle.html?intcmp=trending 3 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Don't give the gubment any ideas, those fucking things are like $50k on the low end. Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I wound up selling the Kushnapup 7.62x39 Saiga at the gun show Sunday. I was standing right in front of the gun I'd come to buy if the rifle sold and was overtaken by stupidity. I wound up asking WAAAAAAY too little for it, but still $50.00 more than the "replacement," and the buyer whipped out the cash. So, to make a short story long, I "traded" a bullpup AK for a Walther PPQ .45 the other day. I've carried it with me yesterday and today with every intention of going to the range after work. Maybe tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 That's unfortunate, you shit the bed on that one. Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 That's unfortunate, you shit the bed on that one. Yes, I know. But I keep telling myself, "It jammed on you, you have to disassemble the whole gun to field strip it, and where the two sides of the stock come together pinched your beard." so I can sleep at night. Besides, I can carry way more stripper clips for the bullpup SKS than I could carry magazines for the bullpup AK. Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 What round and at what range did you do THAT to that steel? I mean, I know it was 7.62x54r, but specifically... 1 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Just some cheap Red Army Standard ammo, 148gr FMJ went threw like butter, gonna take a half inch piece out next time. ~70 yards? Quote Link to comment
