M14s in 7.62x39 coming to Canada?

Hope these arnt a huge price gouge when they come out first, yet they prob will be.

Barrels better be indexed properly too unlike the current m305s ffs.

Even tho I love my T97 i wont hold my breath for a norc product after having terrible experinces with afew of their line ups.

The more guns in 7.62x39 for Canada the better, geez some guys! Hey maybe it'll bring down those ridiculous priced mini-30's!!

They're just as ridiculously priced in the Americas as well. And since the AWB is dead, and most of the country is free to have AR's and AK's the Mini's are in a slow painful death spiral. Their time has come and gone.
 
A 9.5# mini thirty? What's the point?

Did they hire someone from Colt marketing dept? Lol

The idea crossed my mind but if I was to buy a 6.5 creedmore it would be in an accurate plateform to start with not a battlerifle.

The M1A platform has been tweaked to be very accurate for several decades now. With the right TLC, sub MOA would be possible.

The real advantage with the 6.5 CM vs the 308 is the operating system is not designed to work with much over 155gr. A 140gr class 6.5 bullet has vastly superior ballistics to anything you can produce in a short M1A mag from a 308 given the operating limits of the M1A parts.

Made previous Norc M305's shoot close to MOA.. can't see why better barrels and set up wouldn't produce the same or better performance.

I have asked a couple of barrel makers and was surprised how little interest they showed. That will be the biggest problem as the exterior profiles and cuts require someone set up to do this well and in bulk.

One said "sure, if you order 100 barrels" so that is a possibility with enough interest... and we have someone on this side of the border willing to do the fitting.

And the overall pricing would be/should be less then other NR semis. Just an idea that really is far easier then the project of this post. With the possibility to shoot better then many NR semis currently on the market.

X2 that's exactly my point.

I know Thomas and you were really into that a couple of years ago but unfortunately that didn't happen.

I seriously hope you or someone will pick up the project and I am in for either 6.5 CM or 260 and pretty sure there will be a good numbers of others interested as well.
 
All is needed is enough demand on barrels or stocks to get a custom run from a manf.

I get asked about lam stocks for the M1A... Boyds used to make them as a standard item then stopped for whatever reason. Enough to do a run, and they will make it.

Barrel makers would consider doing whatever if there is enough interest.

So, it boils down to getting enough interest to get what is wanted.

Simple... and not.

x2 on getting a barrel in 6.5 or 260 ... Just tell me when to send the deposit !
I would think with the amount of M-305,s out there a lot of people would want to go that route if the price was reasonable.
 
Jerry please figure out the minimum you need to order and post here and for those who interested please come up with a deposit.

Worst case is return the deposit if not enough orders what do you think?
 
Well, let's start with someone that can put the barrel onto the receiver and headspace properly. If there is someone interested in partnering to do the assembly, pm or email to discuss.

Without that sorted out first, the barrel is not going to do us much good

As I said, one barrel maker suggested 100 barrels. maybe there is room on that but it isn't going to be 10 so maybe someone can act to collect names of those that are interested... no deposit needed.

If we get OVER 50 barrels, I can start to ask what the "magic" number would really need to be. The specs will be standard USGI type offerings, no shorties or custom stuff. All the same spec. They will be a top quality match barrel likely short chambered ready for final fitting.

I am thinking med weight, 22" pattern. Same are what comes on a standard M1A or M305. 6.5 Creedmoor SAAMI chamber, 8 twist

It has never succeeded cause there has never been enough interest to make a run but maybe there is enough interest now.

And of course, it would be understood that no R&D has been done to spec it out... this would be based on an educated guess for gas port size....

There would be no option to test how the cartridge would react in the rifle cause the barrels would all be made at the same time.
