I recently purchased a Cz 527 in 7.62x39. In my opinion there isn't any reason to have this caliber in an action that would run 308 just fine, it's a more versatile/practical round. The Cz however is built with the larger cip spec chamber, it will misfire with brass sized with my lee dies. Backing the die off .020" cures this however, I am still going to order the collet neck sizing dies. I suspect if it was a push feed action it wouldn't have an issue. The 527 would be near perfect if it came with an extra saami bolt sleeve and adjustable rear sight. I got ahold of 250 new imi cases years ago so they should last me a wile if I don't loose to many in the field. The s&b brass cased ammo seems to work wonderfully, but I only have a few boxes and it seems to be outa stock on the net, and the local can tire has been out of stock for forever as well.
I suspect in the future it might be better to go with the .300 blackout. I just about purchased a ruger American ranch in this cal, if only there mags/mag release wasn't so crappy. Quality ammo is going to be allot more common and lower priced than the 7.62x39 in a few years, if not already.
It would be full retard to have a smith build a rifle around an old .303 bbl. that's a waste of a decent .303 rifle, the gunsmiths time and ones money.

My AIA enfiled-7.62x39 don't get much use now that I have a encore it so easy cleaning a brake action and find the 15" barrel so handy in the bush and suits my style of hunting better
I found cleaning the corrosive powder to be a pain in the AIA and have neglected the barrel it's still good but not as good as as it shood be

Isn't the PRVI boxer-primed? IIRC it was.
Both Savage and Zastava built the 7.62 x 39 in Left handed bolt actions. There were far too few that were brought into Canada and are not available at the present time. Unfortunately I missed out on the few opportunities that existed a couple of years ago. It would be great to see Tikka offer this caliber in their Left handed bolt configurations. I think it would sell and see the 7.62 x 39 caliber as a light, carry-all-day type of rifle for bush hunting.
