Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Combat_Diver: AK47 was designed as a sub machine gun. The SKS was to be the infantry rifle CD Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Combat_Diver: Originally Posted By M-4matus: I agree on the Galils. Most people don't know this, but the AK-47 was designed for use as a sub-machinegun. That is what the Russians were trying to produce. The fact that Russian Ammunition manufactureses largely utilized soft steel cored FMJ projectiles in order to save cost, cause those Ruskies to come up with all kinds of crazy rounds, mostly in 7.62 and 9mm. The fact that steel core projectiles are lighter than lead FMJ of the same size required many of their cartridges tk be loaded very hot. Think 9mmx21, they needed the extra powder. Due to this reoccurance of high pressure rounds the Russians made a lot of firearms that were heavier than their eastern counterparts. This is especially true in many of their pistols. And Sub-Machineguns. This is the story of how the Russians designed a weapon with sub-machinegun characteristics which often weigh about the same as U.S. fielded .30 caliber rifles of that time. AK47 was designed as a sub machine gun. The SKS was to be the infantry rifle CD @Combat_Diver Good to hear from you Brother. That's interesting to hear the SKS part of the story. I am new to Comm Block Firearms of any type. I had a buddy with a CZ52 that I rebuilt, it had FTF issues, fun project. I know the Czech market is a bit separate from what might be considered Comm Block, but it got me interested on the topic. Got looking and Ian McCullom had a video about Russian ammo and how their steel core projectiles sent them down quite an interesting path. It is one to watch for sure. |

@bigstick61
The only problem with 7.62x51 is that there are a lot of guys running barrels that a for too short. I think if you are under 16'' or maybe even 18'', say, 13.7 or 14.5, many people just don't grasp that their .308 is now a 200M weapon. IMHO, when comparing 7.62x51 & 7.62x39, you might as well just shoot 7.652x39 if you want to go under 16''. I could be wrong, but I believe 7.62x39 was initially designed around a 12'' barrel. |

This thread is cool in spite of you. you sound like someone who works behind a gun counter with the amount of tired gun trope talking points you constantly bring up. A 12.5" 308 is launching much heavier projectiles at the same velocity as a 16" 762x39 or same-weight projectiles several hundred fps faster than a 16" x39. The difference obviously increases the longer you go. For a guy who insists the marginal fps increase going from 10.5 to 11.5 556 makes a real-world and appreciable difference, you should be excited about a gun that is several inches shorter shooting the same projectiles several hundred fps faster than the competition. |

And telling me I'm unlikeable in the same breath that you're accusing me of making personal attacks doesn't make much sense either. Especially since you're following up a post where someone literally just said they like my posting.  Why don't we just stick to posting cool rifle setups and tone down the gun counter mythology a bit? BTW I never said you work at a gun counter. I said you sound like someone who does. Because you do. |

Speaking of short 308s, though...here's a 12.5" 308 that will trounce anything out of a 762x39 out of any length. And it weighs as much as an AR15, uses an AR15 barrel nut/handguard, bolt carrier, and AR15 length receivers. This has been sbr'd and rattle canned since the photo was taken.
 Attached FileAnd here's a 13" 308 that is in a similar configuration to the 13" scars the ODA I was working with in afghanistan several years ago was using to smoke guys out to 600m (back when there was actually shooting going on). They had 6x elcans though.  Attached FileOf course I have nothing against 762x39 but the only value it really brings to me is cheap plinking ammo. Here's my mutant. Meh.  Attached File |

Sold 2) 16'' AR-10s in past few months. Decided to run 20" AR-10's because neither are much fun to lug in the thick woods of Maine. They just are not a good choice for Me as a GoTo. They are great Prone Shooters.
I went in a different direction for 16" .308, and it's not a GoTo either.  I have a 13.7'' LW Contour LMT MLC. It's great, it's not super heavy, but I still believe an AR-15 of the same barrel length is a better GoTo RIFLE. I know what a POF Revolution is, pretty cool, I want one. SCARs are too heavy. |

Out of curiosity. Both guns coming from the same Manufacturer, of Your choosing. Would you choose a 12.5'' AR-15 in 6.8SPC2 or a 12.5'' AR-10 in 7.62x51? I am just interested in what your thoughts are about this. |

They are just too long and heavy for hunting in Maine, in the woods. Great for fields, but deer come out in fields during daylight in Maine for about the first 2 days of hunting season.

Its really hard to beat a 14.5" - 16" 308 for a "clear the building, go to the roof, take a 700m shot" out of one gun. 6.5 grendel would also do it unless there were specific energy, bullet weight, or other requirements.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By M-4matus: @UndrGrndPrdcts I want 3 polls. There have only been 2 and I wanted to complete the last poll by adding other manufactures. I believe it's locked because you can only make 5 and I closed the first poll 3 times to make changes in the first few minutes of creating them. The polls were popular and have both times, increased images posted. Well hopefully mods can clean it up for you. It just shows 5 locked polls for the rest of us. |

That's for long distance or if I really have to mess stuff up |

My 6920. Bought it new in 2011. I recently bought a streamlight protac and a PA 1-8 scope for it. I had a Troy rail on it but I tore my rotator cuff at work, so I put a magpul handgaurd on it to try and lighten it up some. I would like to change the stock also.
 betta tank with plant on top

Honestly they only malfunction I’ve ever had with my 6920 was with that mag. I attributed it to the cheap ammo I was shooting and it’s never happened again

Home defense and shtf I'd probably leave those for last resort. |

My current go to rifle. All DelTon upper and lower. I replaced the M4 style stock that came on it for the older style CAR stock. I prefer the straight vertical butt of those over the slanted M4 butts. Went with an A2 upper because they just look cooler, and the extra optic height doesn't really bother me.
  Burris AR332 scope Magpul MS1 sling with BCM ULoop attaching it to the front sight. and Streamlight HL-X light on an IWC Mount-n-slot. OKAY mags. Had pretty regular double feed issues that I attribute to C Products mags I used to use. Dumped them for the OKAYs and not a problem since. Later on I want to swap the Burris for an ACOG and add a suppressor. Perhaps a KAC NT4 to complete the retro tactical look. But that's all more money than I got to play with right now. |

Home defense and shtf I'd probably leave those for last resort. Personally, I like the Surefeed E2 as ''most reliable mag", but on my home defense, I like to start out with double stacked Gen3 Windowed PMag's. I saw this was one of the standard Set-Up's available to the British Transport Police stationed in places like Airport's. (FYI, they run LMT MRP's w/ I believe 10-5 barrels, not 100% on barrel length) I could see the real world advantages of having the first mag stacked, you run through 60, then dump them for 30 round mags which are easily carried on a vest or belt.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Daggertt: 11.5"? Yep, 1:9 chrome lined. Heavy under the handguards. Would have preferred a standard Gov't profile, but that's what was on there when I got the upper and it doesn't really bother me enough to change it. Suppose I just got used to the extra weight. |
