Thanks for sharing that story, that is unreal. I like the way the little rifle feels in my hands, but this story sort of puts the icing on the cake regards not wanting to own one again. That is a sad tale.

I have come to the conclusion that the best way to shoot the 7.62 x 39 is out of an AK or SKS rifle. If you want to shoot it in an AR I think that the AR Performance guy makes an upper that is supposed to work. For my money to hunt deer with its a 223 using a good bullet.
