XCR pic in 7.62x39

[Throttle_monkey1]

did you not read what was said, our xcr's up here cost 1750 USD down south. $1995 is 245$ more. Now I paid 2390$ for mine, but had one of the first 25 in the country, and didn't mind paying that one bit. I like the xcr better than the PE90. to each his own.

If it doesn't take an AK mag, it is worthless.

I guess this would be true for 30rd mags but since we are limited to 5 rounds this is NOT and issue . There are already AR style mags that feed 5 ( 10 actually if it was legal ) rounds of 7.62 X 39 flawlessly

See below. Notice the floorplate angle compared to a standard AR mag

7.62x39 is nice and cheap but i would be a bit wary of throwing it (as the cheap stuff is corrosive) through a $2000 gun. Why not just get a vz then? The .308 would be really useful because it can be a hunting toy

We should also note that the reason we get the rifles in the configuration we do (at $1750 US) instead of the cheaper config, is that the US Government will not allow the folding stock + 16" barrels to be exported.

THe C-product mag for the XCR is kinda there - the curve of the mag is very abrupt. Making sure that fully loaded mag sit into the magwell is going to be rough.

These are also reasonably priced in the U.S. at about $15 each.

You couldn't pay me to use U.S.A. brand mags.

I have heard bad things about their (USA Magazines Inc.) mags. A friend of mine had purchased four 20rd AR mags back in the day, and none worked well.

TRG,
Do you have any first had experience with the 7.62x39 mags? Just wondering where the info is coming from regarding that these particular USA Mags work 'flawessly'.

 

[P0WERWAGON]

i had those mags for my AR. i spent hours filing and modifying just to get them to work. they are junk!!

 

[shmelmafinga]

Too bad they think the magazine that serves the best and most popular rifle of this type isn't good enough for their gun. Robinson guns are good but their line of thinking is bad.

There's a guy who started a thread claiming ProMags are high quality and reliable.

The truth is probably that their feeding system is not compatible with the AK mags unless with very drastic redesign of the receiver and barrel extension.

 

[Throttle_monkey1]

also a bolt hold open feature is a no go with ak mags

 

[Deckard]

So what? Some AK mags lock the bolt open in any case.

They are using the new C-Products 7.62x39mm mag because it is 100% compatible with STANAG magwells.

With the VZ58 on the market this rifle is screwed. No make a 308 you damn Americans!

Whats the point, with the Norc M-14 on the market, the .308 XCR is screwed.

Not really.. There is NO black non restricted 308 rifle on the market.
The Norc M-14 does not fill that gap.

Sacrilege!!!

...oh, and PE90 Rocks, XCR sucks!

You got that right .... Bring on anything black in 308! Non-restricted of course...
