M14s in 7.62x39 coming to Canada?

[TacticalTeacher]

If that M305 ain't in .308, will my #### fall off ?

Sorry, I just could not control myself....

I might have to buy myself one and also a crate of x 39...

[peacemaker56]

think of getting one just for the hell of it ,
Haven't seen any rifle/ammo crate of ammo combos ????

Lets see some combos please

For all the R&D and testing to make this option.. plus the changes in all the working parts to make them fit a new rim, short tapered case, etc....

If they would just put in the same energy and come out with a 6.5 Creedmoor version, think of them possibilities

NR semi with the capacity to reach out to 1000+yds... uumm, anyone else interested?

Except that it will be built by Norinco so the chances of a quality barrel are slim to none. But it would be cool to get one with an appropriately sized bolt to install a quality 6.5 barrel with.

I personally have no interest in yet another rifle that they try to make eat 7.62x39. There are already $250 SKS's and if you want to spend more then buy a better rifle like a CZ858 or a Mini-30.
If you just love the M-14 platform and want another one in a different chambering then isn't it sort of blasphemy to run a cheap communist round through an American classic?

can this new m14 style rifles pass the dishwasher test ?

 

[shredder]

I see a former sponsor has them on for $725.

At that price, I'll stick to my SKS and CZ858 - thanks.

The main feature for me is the fully adjustable rear sight, suitable for old eyes. I can't use the open sights on a 858.

I think I'm going to wait and see some reports before a drop that much coin on a m14

 

[P0WERWAGON]

no way the BHO will ever work, reguardless of mag used. mag doesnt even come close to touching the tab, nevermind the follower touching it.

to run an aftermarket stock, it looks like one could get some correct thickness steel, cut and fold and attach to a stock to make it fit.

 

[josey wales]

these look really interesting, AK mags is a bonus, wonder if you could get a drum to lock up?

 

[maxman1]

So, any interest in an M14 in .303? Unlike 7.62x39, there are no readily available semi-auto rifles in that calibre.

POWERWAGON.
how is the front sight ? square ? looks like from the pics that the rear end of the bbl is indexed properly.

 

[P0WERWAGON]

it looks like it is right it seems.

no interest at all 303 will not fit the action of a 14. plus it is a rimmed shell. plus its retardedly expensive to shoot .get a bren if you want a semi 303.

 

[maxman1]

303 will not fit the action of a 14.

.303 is only slightly longer than .308.

plus it is a rimmed shell.

And? If you're referring to rim lock, that is an operator error and you almost have to try to cause it. The M14 bolt face would need to altered, obviously, but an M14 in .303 is doable.

Check out the pics in Al Flahertys forum.

Looks like the plunger ejector is removed, and the bolt hold open is used as a fixed ejector, stripper clip guide removed for clearance I guess. Different stock liner to accommodate the mags.

what mag are you going to use?
7.7x56 in a M14 is the best one I heard in a while . I really gotta ask why, and who would want it? ammo is double the price of 7.62x51 and there is no surplus 7.7x56 left out there to buy in quantity in this country.
7.7x56 is " slightly" longer than 7.62x51. how much is slightly?
50 BMG is also slightly longer than 7.62x51. maybe lets convert one to 50? I mean if your going to open the bolt face to take the 7.7x56 may as well just open it ALL the way to .50 BMG

i want to take a rifle that shoots expensive ammo then double it for more fun too

 

[sgt.rock]

I have never owned an m14. How often does one normally clean/disassemble the gun/gas system using non corrosive .308 ammo? I read about clinic fixed guns with "shimmed" gas systems. Does this complicate tear down cleanings and reassembly?
If you have to completely tear down and clean the 7.62x39 gun each time, will it be a huge pain in the asss? Is it worth it for such an inaccurate round?

I clean my personal rifles once a year, wether they need it or not!

You should never have to remove the gas cylinder to do a detail clean, turn off the gas, remove the gas plug and you should be just fine!
