High Exposure 5,635 Posted March 14, 2017 Simple. Ask yourself the following question: Do I want an AK? If the answer is "Yes", get one. If the answer is "No", do not get one. If the answer is "I don't know" wait until you do. I got one used from a fellow forum member for a great price before the election. I always wanted one and figured that may be my only chance - depending on the election outcome. Tricked it out to my wishes and I am very pleased with it. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smokin .50 1,907 Posted March 14, 2017 Do you own a REAL rifle yet? REAL is defined as a rifle with a minimum bore diameter of at least .30 caliber and a projectile of 150-200 grains in weight. For "Thumpability"! .308 is a REAL rifle .30-06 is a REAL rifle 7.62 x 54R is a REAL rifle .35 Remington is a REAL rifle .30-30 is a REAL rifle 7mm Remington Magnum is a REAL rifle .45-70 is a REAL rifle --lots of others, take yer pick! Having a platform that can reach out and touch something with AUTHORITY at DISTANCE (and not be played with by too badly by the wind) is advantageous... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having a platform that can reach out and touch something with AUTHORITY at DISTANCE (and not be played with by too badly by the wind) is advantageous... So, a Mosin is a REAL rifle and 6.5 creedmoor is no good for distance. I'll try to remember that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyB 4,289 Posted March 15, 2017 ^^^THIS^^^ The Mosin Nagant is a hell of a weapon! Coupled with the facts that 7.62x54R is widely available as milsurp ammo and the rifle is still relatively cheap it's a win win and a no brainer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Glock guy 1,125 Posted March 15, 2017 Know thy enemy yes cheap ammo fun to shoot every American boy should have one No real cleaning or maintenance shoots brass, steel, new or reloads Good advice! I have one, and I'm thinking of getting another. And an AK has much more utility in real world applications than a "REAL" rifle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin .50 1,907 Posted March 15, 2017 So, a Mosin is a REAL rifle and 6.5 creedmoor is no good for distance. I'll try to remember that. "Lots of others, take yer pick" comes into play. Don't be a sarcastic Schmuck, lol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin .50 1,907 Posted March 15, 2017 What's the cheapest of these real rifles to shoot? Asking for a friend... In addition to the 7.62 x 39 fodder that feeds the AK (SKS) platform (which is a REAL rifle as defined by me above), the "cheapest" (depending upon country of origin) would probably be 54R surplus ammo w/corrosive primers? But consider that one doesn't purchase a REAL rifle to fire multiple boxes of ammo in a single trip to an indoor range at a Zombie target only 10 yards away.....like they do w/ AR's in 5.56!

Smokin .50 1,907 Posted March 15, 2017 Good advice! I have one, and I'm thinking of getting another. And an AK has much more utility in real world applications than a "REAL" rifle. AK is a REAL rifle Frank. It fits the criteria: .30 cal and 150 grains (yes Tula makes JSP 154 grains). Even the standard plinking round at 123-124 grains is twice the weight of 62 grain 5.56. https://ii.cheaperthandirt.com/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?FIF=/images/cheaperthandirt/source/98507_1.tif&wid=223&cvt=jpeg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
