^^ Why not just get a mini 30?
^^ Why not just get a mini 30?
Non-restricted goodness!!! Inland with 20in barrel:D Nice shooter. Took a nice muley back in the day with this. My brothers have also taken bucks with this rifle and a black bear by my dad. Passed on to me from my dad. Here it is with my Mini 14. Sure hope we can get some new "non-restricteds" in. I'll buy two!!
Sorry to bring up an old issue but i have been wondering, is there any chance that Norinco would produce an M1 Garand for us or is this wishful thinking
I hear you but when there is virtually no supply and the price is so high in addition when you find one it is not in good shape a copy is a good idea.
In addition I really don't like to buy used because I have learnt that many only sell something if it is broken or malfunctioning. I haven't been lucky in buying second hand ever.
As luck would have it, I managed to acquire a NR carbine that had been assembled out of some unknowns parts bin. Chasing after the 30 carbine brass was annoying, so I did the nessessary research to convert it to the 7.62x25 tt round.
The job required the obvious rechambering, opening up the bolt face and finding a magazine that would work.
The first two jobs were easy. I built a mag well adaptor to accept the Tokarev magazine. (also modified a PPSH 41 mag to work)
Bearhunter is right about cleaning the piston, a bit of a PITA. Overall it's fun to shoot, and I don't have to worry about the cost of the ammo or chasing the spent casings.
A new rifle built simularly would be a hot seller in my opinion.
I have no sympathy for poor rich boys born under privilege.
@Mkrainc : What kind of ballistics do you get out of that combo?
The factory 85/90gr bullets run about 1700fps out of standard Tok barrels.
