It seems like cheap Russian availability contributes to the popularity of 7.62x39. The American made 7.62x39 is about double the price of the Russian stuff. Comparing American made brass .223 and 7.62x39 the .223 wins in cost. At least in Canada the steel case 7.62x39 costs about the same as .223. I haven't seen any steel case .223 though. No doubt. We get steel case .223 from Russia, I usually shoot it in my AR's. ChainedRedone posted... How'd you make that M16A1 lookalike? How close is it in terms of aesthetics? Just the handguard? I remember seeing a company make a lookalike even having the "auto" imprint for the select fire switch but it was expensive. I'm assuming you built it on your own and it isn't an original Colt It's all Colt parts except for the lower receiver, trigger guard, barrel and fire control group. Colt M16A1 kits were plentiful a few years back, I bought one with a barrel already installed on the upper. It's 100% aesthetically an M16A1 minus the auto sear hole, the safety selector and the trigger guard is black instead of gray. The sling is iffy but I've seen images of those carry straps being used as slings in Vietnam. The lower is a Nodak Spud A1 lower. --- Freya weeps upon her golden throne. https://i.imgtc.com/dD8IIcQ.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard! |
