Does you mate run scopes on either of his rifles? Also thoughts on which caliber to get? I have an AR so already have the reloading gear for 223 and brass is cheap. On the other hand I already have an AR so don't need a similar rifle in the same caliber. I know the resale value on 223 AK's is poor so my thought is to get the one in the original 7.62 caliber then at least I can justify it saying it's for big reds in the roar (not that I ever shoot any).

Whats making me what one is a)They are cool, b)No direct impingement, c)They are cool. What putting me off is dubious scope mounting options given I could get a 7.62 AR upper for the same money.

Also has anyone worked out a way to restrict the gas system? The review in NZ guns and hunting said it ejects with some considerable force as soon as he put a can on it.

Pulling ya leg bro she'll deflectors are gay, unless your a helicopter shooter.

Yeah Paul brings in a couple of scope mounts, two over the rear (side detach) and a replacement FAB handguard with a pic rail at the 12 o'clock. This is ideal for red dots etc or scout scopes and is pretty fast shooting on running game.

Mates son had a 223 and it was more accurate than the three ARs he owns. The x39 shot well with barndoor (Barnaul 123 hp) , around 1" or better with a 4x scout scope. I have hummed and arhd about one but wouldn't reload purely cause they flick the empties for about a km.

Very cool guns and I think they will hold their value as there are not many round. They drop reds, fallow, goats and roos well.
