Wk180-c 7.62x39

[lmar]

Seems to me the normal development of a variant from an existing design would follow the path of simple to complex.

7.62X38 Variant

Step 1 - Build new upper only.
Step 2 - Test the crap out of it with XCR magazines - Sell the resulting product (New guns and conversion uppers) to fund Step 3.
Step 3 - Once sufficient manufacturing numbers have been achieved selling original .223 version and new 7.62 version proceed to step 4.
Step 4 - Build the "world version" using AK magazines by redesigning lower.

I believe the point of the whole exercise is to determine if there is sufficient interest in Step 4. However, I have been known to be wrong in the past.
Step 3 would be a given during the normal development process.

Not to sure I understand the STANAG issue people are chiming in with. Might be a problem with 30-40 round magazines and the required curvature to maintain correct alignment with 7.62X39.
However, at 10 rounds , the XCR magazines are the same length as the "Straight" portion of the curved magazines. Have never had an issue using them (all 10 rounds) with my B&T conversion of my CZ 858.
Work like a charm.

He gets the last laugh when you scramble to buy AK mags for $80, if you can find then, when AK mags were $10 in the day.

But.....but..... why buy some many when you have the chance too???

Go ak mags. The pistol mags may only be usable/legal for a while where as the ak mags are less risk.

In stead of thinking you know your ####, why not ask him what rifle he has that uses AK mags???? It's a rifle some people dream about owning 1 of not too mention having 2 of that same said rifle

The greatest mag whore would be the one who bought all the AK mags everywhere. We'd tip our hats.

The greatest mag whore would be the one who bought all the AK mags everywhere. We'd tip our hats. Conversely, buying out rarer propietary mags so nobody else can have any is douchey. That's mag whoreding to be a dink.

So what you are saying is no one is a mag whore cuz nobody bought up all the AK mags to begin with but now back peddling to what you were saying before is hypocritical.

But really a dink needs to justify what others do ;-)
