#1s are handsome rifles. Have owned 3 and they all required substantial work to find success. A #3 likewise. Nothing wrong with the 7 mag, but the 7.62x39 is a joke. Many better alternatives available.
DD: youre just biased bc ppl have fired 7.62x39s at you. i would be too ...
Not so much 'cause they shot at me, but because they never did much more than give me a scratch. Here's one that went thru a thin layer of fiberglass and a couple layers of aluminum sheet before bouncing off my boot heel...AP core on the right. Range from gunner to boot heel was about 30 yards. I doubt the Quigley bullet on the left would have bounced off.
