I think I got sidetracked onto case material, when the real issue inquired about was the coatings. I will distill my thoughts down thus: Coated ammo should not be run extensively through semi-auto or auto weapons that do not have chrome chambers. I could be wrong, but I believe that is how it was m...

Someone more knowledgeable than me, please correct me if I'm wrong...but, I thought all steel-cased ammo was intended for rifles with chromed chambers. Verdad? I'm not more knowledgeable, but the chromed chambers and barrels was to prevent rusting caused by the corrosive salts from the primers. The...

OS, I have a one with the 7.5 in barrel, I would go with the shorter 4.75 in barrel if I had to do it again. I find that the extra length is a pain to carry around all day hunting or whatever. I like the black micarta grips that came with the gun, it allows the gun to move during recoil, making it s...

I have a few Finnish M91s with offset bores, one is quite the shooter!! Even with surplus ammo.

I also shoot the polymer and lacquer coated in my Mosins and SKSs, I did want to use the .233 stuff in my Olympic Arms, but they state in their warranty that shooting anything but brass will void the warranty. I asked why and it seems there might be higher pressures because the steel case doesn't ex...

I've never found a way to set off a round in the tool I did something that the tool was not made to do, to get one to go off. I don't want to get into nitty gritty details, but if you do what Paco instructs you will have no problems. But, I wanted to see what would happen, I did it in as safe and c...

I think the way Paco has it set up to use a mallet is the ideal method, it takes a little practice but after you get the feel for it, its pretty efficient. I think with a press it will take a long, long time to resize any large quantity. To do a box of 50 takes me a while, with the mallet method, I ...

With the traditional muzzleloaders, you have to grease the patch or groove in the soft lead bullet, the bullet or ball needs to be almost pure lead so as to be soft enough for you to ram it down the barrel. With jacketed bullets the jacket is too hard to ram down the barrel, and it won't expand enou...

Thanks for the info Noah, but I ordered from the CMP. I'll take what they send me. I ordered a Service Grade Springfield, so going by their description of the different grades, it should be pretty decent. I ordered one of the SA Service grade, and it was absolutely pristine! Looks like it was never...

The Greek brass is very. very good. Plus the primers are not "pinned" in like LC and other GI ammo. So the primer pocket doesn't have to be reamed out to put in a new primer. It is worth just to shoot even if you dont save to reload, but it is very well worth reloading.

Steve

SteveR

Actually, I don't have a chronograph. I failed to mention I shoot a S&W Model 438 Bodyguard snub. I realize that the FBI load is basically a LSWCHP loaded to +P velocities. I am just having trouble getting the "ooph" out of my handloads...they seem wimpy compared to factory Remington ...

SteveR

I haven't reloaded any 30-06 for my Garands, the Greek surplus the CMP sells is cheaper than I can load them for. Plus save the brass and when it runs out, I will reload that.

Hi Doc,

I believe you, sorry if my posts weren't to clear. I am going through CRS (can't remember s**t) stage. I just thought you had posted that story here or on the main page of Leverguns.

Weird, I must have read something similar and your story made me remember it. Must be a Hook says lots of good stories-factual out there. It did make me chuckle though, thanks Doc.

I just was visiting the Saiga site, and one of the posters noticed I put the trigger guard on backwards, lol

Hate when that happens. I was in a rush to get the conversion done.

Steve

This cartridge came up on another board I frequent, specifically about reloading. The most frequent response was, "Why bother, the surplus, steel cased, Berdan primed, corrosive stuff is so cheap," but I thought that was a cop-out, because the original poster was asking about reloading. I...

I do not have a AK but do have a AR-15 in 5.45x39 and carried a AK-74(U) on a couple of trips and shot it a lot. The AR shoots great and was bought (The upper) due to the low price of the ammo to practice with. Shoots as good as some 5.56 and as I clean weapons after use it is not problem. As it wo...

SteveR

I hope to take a couple tomorrow night, just got the rest of the parts I need to finish!! Yeah!!

I might get one in 7.62x39, I liked the conversion. Except for replacing the hold bolt open spring, what a pain.

Steve

SteveR

Very nice!! I need one of those too....................................them Russian guns are addictive!!!!!!!!!!

Bet it is a lot more comfortable on the shoulder than a 91/30??

Steve

SteveR

I love my SAR2. :mrgreen: The 5.45 was the Soviet response to the 5.56. It usually runs a 60g pill IIRC and doesn't have quite the speed of the 5.56. Buffalo Arms has brass...at $3/ea. :shock: It's reformed, probably from .222 Rem. At one time I thought Graf's listed brass and CH4D or someone like ...

Hi SteveR, I have a High Standard/Interarms WZ88 Tantal (Polish AK-74). I picked it up a while back when ammo was cheap. It is getting reasonable again. I have several thousand rounds of 70's & 80's corrosive Russian surplus I was able to get for $300 a crate delivered (2 spam cans of 1080 roun...

I've got two AK-74 clones. One is a build that I did on a Bulgarian kit - nice carbine. The other is a Romanian SAR-2 that I've extensively modified. They are both great shooters and I have a bunch of ammo for them as its about the only affordable milsurp rifle ammo available now. Here's my Bulgy b...

SteveR

Sounds interesting! I like the Siaga 7.62x39 I have; works reliably, pretty accurate, even with the factory sights. The magazines on the 7.62x39 aren't fully (they can be modified somehow) compatible with the AK magazines, but for that caliber they are widely available so it doesn't matter. Dunno a...

SteveR

Very nice builds!! I live in NY so I have to have the neutered version. I would love to pick up one of the Bulgarian ones out there. I pretty much finished my conversion today, started last night. Only a couple of mistakes. Ordered wrong Axis Pin Rifle Plate, so I will get a couple of hitch pins. Or...

SteveR

I just bought a Sagia in 5.45x39 and would like some input on the round. Any web sites? I found Sagia12 any more?

I plan on doing a conversion. Get rid of the sporter stock and go with a pistol grip, I will be 922 compliant with new FCG + stock & grip, any thoughts?

Thanks,

Thanks Hobie,

Looking around on the net I found it may be a 308 anyway, which I have zero interest in. It needs a mag too, so I think I will pass on it.

Thanks,

Thanks Joe,

I still need more info, the barrel has like 6 grooves,with little wear, looks to be a good shooter. I just need more info to see if its worth getting.

Thanks again,

Hi, I found a sporter conversion done by Golden State Arms Corporation, it has folding rear sight, new replacement barrel, new front sights, and rear stock has the raised comb on it. Says 1941 Supreme if I remember right. Any idea of value? Barrel is dirty but looks like it will clean up. Many thank...
