Just have absolutely no USE or WANT fir the 7.62x 39 cartridge and I don’t shoot sh.t ammo in any of my rifles . The 6.5 Grendel is a Far BETTER cartridge in every respect over a 7.62x39 ! For MY shooting and hunting purposes! RJ
CZ 527 Carbine in 7.62x39... gem or junk?

I will leave that monicker to you and your sks. You can go out wanging away at rocks with junk steel core and start a grass fire or hop the gate at the range and shoot holes in the pistol dueling tree plates and and steel rimfire targets. Don’t forget to leave the steel cases laying around for someone else to clean up. Phucking Pecker Heads and their garbage guns.

Yeah, longer bullet. x39 something like a 30-30 vs. grendel like a 308. Can't really compare the 2.
Again we are entitled to our opinions ! Great rifle in 223 R or 6.5 G . JMO RJ
yup I'd choose a lever gun 30-30 before I'd look at a 7.62x39 and have spent more time thinking about that than any 7.62x39, only takes a minute to look it over and eliminate from the list forever but not the platforms which are just a barrel away from glory lol
if I ever buy a 7.62x39 it will be for the express purpose of rebarrel to 6.5 Grendel, and now guys can shop similar to go 6 ARC if they want which is another choice levels beyond the 7.62...anyone got one of them older ruger m77 7.62x39's with the boat paddle stock they want to get rid of? send me pm please

There is always something faster or bigger or excels in other areas, but the 7.62x39 is a good round for what it is. It's cheap to shoot and reload for and it can be accurate in the CZ527 and other decent bolt action rifles. I like it for range plinking in my CZ and don't use crap ammo either. It's a very low recoil round that my grand kids can shoot and even take a deer with under 100yds.
One could say that it lacks power so a 300Savage is better, but then based on that a 308 is better, but then a 30-06 is better, and a 300magnum is better and so on and son on. When is enough just enough? Use a 7.62x39 within it's limitations and one will not be disappointed. If I need a longer range rifle, I'd just use my 257 Roberts or 6CM.
While I agree that there is a lot of douche bags that do what you have said there are a lot of others with SKS and T-81 rifles who are responsible and don't purposely damage things and leave a mess everywhere
Please don't paint us all with the same brush

Fully agree on that. I used a Ruger 77 Mk II for 20+ yrs fer plinkin' and critters without worries at woods ranges. I bought a CZ 527 some yrs back that shot well for me but the bugger weren't the best to carry about or slide over a mound or branch due to the extended magazine. Neat little rifle though when spot bedded right.

Nothing I really disagree with Bud I still have no use for one when I can have a 6.5 GRENDEL ! RJ
I know very little about these rifles, however haveing owned lots of rifles, a tendency to crack a stock in a particular firearm is usually a bedding/inletting issue. Most Husquvarna Mausers crack behind the tang. It is because the tang was inletted too tight, and recoil causes it to act like a wedge. The remedy to prevent this is to carefully add some extra relief to the area so that when it does recoil, that recoil is being constrained by the action screws and recoil lug, not some other place that it should not be.
Lol, pretty much the only other gun in that caliber to compair the 2.
One thing going for my Zastava though, for $360 vs. what Dad paid I think I can take the roughness
Nothing a bit of polishing can't fix (from a fellow Zastava owner).

I got a pleasant surprise the other day with my 527. I found out it came with a set trigger. Did not know that.
Yeah, from what I remember, you push the trigger forward? My Dad's 527 has a set trigger also.

The trigger is fully adjustable. For both the regular trigger pull and set triggers pull weight. AS well as the pre-travel, and post travel of the trigger. There are a few youtube videos that show how to do it, Zrus Outdoors did a good one. I did mine and the trigger now has very little pre travel, then after you pull it, it has no post travel and feels like the trigger pulled to a wall. Out of box my set trigger was a dangerous pull weight. You could set it, and the simple act of putting a round in the chamber would set it off. So I adjusted it to just bellow a 1lb pull, and the regular trigger pull weight from like 4lbs to 2 lbs.
Test your current set trigger setting with snap caps. Like I said mine would go off on a bump, or even putting a round in the chamber if I had it on before racking it. But now that mine is adjusted, i don't have any of those issues.
