Daniel Defense 7.62 coming out soon - I want one
-
I don't mind asking a dumb question....
why 7.62 over 5.56?I swear I saw a comparison, and the 5.56 bullet was a lot bigger than the 7.62...
which left me confused as hell. I'm going to get an AR sometime.........now that I found out that my supplemental insurance to medicare that starts in Dec, will pay
100% for a new artificial knee. When I can slow down long enough ...I don't know.
(and we'll pay about 600 bucks less a month !)

7.62 much bigger. It is the same round fired by M-60 Machine gun, the old M14, etc. The milspec 5.56 tumbled and did severe damage to whom ever it hit however.

Here is something I'm very interested in: American made ak-47s
http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/30/news/companies/kalashnikov-usa/
Here is the problem, Kalashnikov is not a licensed trademark. So the actual company that produced Russian AKS for years is called Kalashnikov Concern and is out of Russia. Kalashnikov USA is some random guy making U.S. made AKs. As a general rule, U.S. made AKs are pretty low quality because they try to keep the price down. You don't get chrome lined bores and military quality barrels. You get barrels made by Green Mountain Barrels who use subpar metals and just nitride the bore. They could end up being a quality product but I wouldn't hold my breath.
If I was buying an American made AK, I would look into Definitive Arms or DDI. They tend to use the foreign barrels and the rest are American made parts (receivers, trunnions, trigger parts, etc.).

To be fair Russian and Chinese made ak-47's aren't exactly known for their top notch materials are they?

They build the best AKs in the world.

I wouldn't buy a car from them but AKs yes.

Okay, what I saw was a picture with a misprint - list out of order.
I was like "what the...hell?" Glad I didn't ask that at a local gun shop.
If I ever was to go hunt elk in Montana etc... I'd go for the 7.62.
Hopefully, the 5.56 doesn't rattle peoples' windows. we have 28 acres...
and there's no elk in Ohio.
Although.... the big wild boar....maybe the 7.62 would be a better choice.
Right now, I'm good with hunting the stupid groundhogs all over the place. and the neighbors
built their stupid home back there and cut off one of my safe angles.
I go out there, and I'm living Caddyshack, where he has the gopher laughing at him.... dammit.
-
I'm not sure but I don't think 5.56 or 7.62 is legal for hunting in ohio.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

Yeah I thought you guys were stuck with rifled slugs due to everything being flat in the northern part of the state. I could be completely off.

5.56 would be more than enough for wild boar. I have bagged quite a few on private property.

They just started allowing .45 this past year. That's big enough to take down anything in ohio.

Logic, did you eat the wild boar?
I've always wondered about that. ham....bacon......pork roast, pork ribs....bbq

Despite it being gimmicky as hell, I'm really interested in the CMMG mutant. 7.62x39 (ak round) in an AR platform. Haven't shot one yet but it would be an awesome hog gun (wild boar). Appears to have the reliability of an AK with the modularity of our beloved AR's. Agreed with Logic that the AR-10's are plagued with reliability issues, and if I'm firing long range shots with the .308/7.62x51 then I'm rolling the bolt first or pulling out the 300 win mag.

I'm thinking of buying a rock island mk 47 .22 just to plink shit with. Anyone ever play with one?

I haven't shot the mk47 but I trust Rock Island products.

149 at rural king. Looks sharp patterned after an ak

logic - why do you say Green Mountain barrels are cheap? I've shot them in muzzleloaders and in that application they are top notch.
Also, I have shot WASRs, semi Auto AKs brought in in the 1980s and pre clinton ban 90s, and now a friends DDI "AK" and as far as accuracy the DDI outshoots everything else, accuracy wise.
Of course, in the same caliber I have found that the Romanian versions of SKSs were much more accurate than the com-block aks, and a lot less expensive.

another dumb question...
I figure I'd want the 7.62 for hunting long distance game,
but for wild boar, or bear, under 200 yrds whatever, if I ever did hunt those,
would a 5.56 do the job?
I really have to get myself one. I need a coyote blaster.

You can't hunt with those in ohio.
