I read this on the SKS Board...
I doubt this very much. I had more mis-feeds with my Norinco vs Zero mis-feeds with my M4forgery shooting exclusively Wolf ammo. I think we can agree that there is really no difference in feeding. It is all based on the the shooters habits and the environment that the shooter is in. |

Unless 5.56mm cartridges are tapered I've no clue why the 30 round magazines are curved or why the bottom edge of the 20 round mags isn't square with the ends..... Almost ALL cartridges are tapered. Some not a whole lot but even "straight walled" cases like .45ACP are actually tapered. The taper on 7.62mm Soviet is .047"; the paper on 5.56mm is .018". (On .45ACP it's a mere .003"). A large taper is a great advantage in extraction. Olde Brit .303 has a .059" taper. -- Chuck |
| Is it common to have feeding problems with AR's? I've just bought my first AR and the first 424 rounds have fed without incident. Non of my AK's or FAL's have any anoying habits but the FAL's have considerable recoil and the AK's aren't very consistant. My new Oly arms carbine is amazingly accurate, at least with this case of Winchester ammo. I've ordered another flat top carbine and now to accessorize until I go broke. |
