Daniel Defense 7.62 coming out soon - I want one

  • 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.

  • well, for the most part, we don't have wild boar anyways.

    I figure you'd have to go to Arkansas, etc.

    There are black bear in Ohio, but I don't think bear would taste good.

    I want to try alligator. And rattlesnake.

    The Green Mountain barrels are fine for muzzleloaders but are no good when you put a lot of rounds down them with AKs.

    I have yet to shoot a DDI so they may be fine. American AKs just have an earned bad reputation. I fire a large volume of rounds a year and so having a nice chromelined bore is my preference.

    Also, when shooting AKs, I don't expect anything better than 3-4 inch groups. They are not marksman rifles. They give you good enough accuracy and fantastic reliability. WASRs are a mixed bag. You can have a decent one or a real turd.

  • Re: AK accuracy / reliability trade-off:

    Dinner plate groups at 300 hundred meters are just fine when you're throwing .30 cal rounds down range in the thousands and you can bury the damn gun in a marsh and pull it out & still keep thumping.

    Cal- hogs are mean as hell. Cysko said yall can't hunt with 5.56. I'd look at the 30 cal range (.308, 7.62x39, & 300 blackout). The latter suppressed is a fucking amazing hog/home defense rifle.

    I've hunted hogs with both 30 cal and 5.56. I've dropped some 150 lb pigs with 5.56 but I'm a pretty decent shot (/shamelessBragging).

    1st choice I'm taking a 30 cal variant "just to be safe"

  • Thanks ! I've read where if you shoot them in the head, the bullets bounce off.

    That's mean. Ah well. Never hunted out of ohio anyways.

    But I would really like a 5.56. Big enough to be fun, ...we only have 28 acres,

    with houses here and there.

    I hope we never have wild boars in N. Ohio. That would be bad. I do believe

    they have been found in SW ohio...

  • There's no way THAT hog is anywhere near Ohio.

    Looks like the lowlands of Arkansas along the expressway...

    I'm glad you brought this up.. I had forgotten about this pc. I'm about to trade in a small .22 cal 7 shot for a .38 special for CC purposes when I'm doing vaults at one of my businesses. I have a ton of .22 ammo and this is a low cost option for burning it off and a fun small caliber pc.

    Wild hogs have pretty much over run inland Florida. Go for a walk out in the Cypress & Palmettos and I'll guarantee you'll have to shoot two things, maybe multiple times.. A Hog and a rattlesnake.

    I've killed so many rattlesnakes on my properties over the yrs it isn't funny.. Hitting one of those bastards with a pistol, now there's a challenge 😉
