My new project gun: 7.62X39 Valmet Hunter :)

So are we gonna get anu updated photos of both sides already or what???!?!?!?

Still hoping for mag well pics and details. If a 308 hunter can be built into a 7.62x39, then so can a m78. Much prefer an m78 in x39.

Id be reluctant to do that to an m78 tho.

Would seriously depend on what it would take. Not sold on the idea myself. A hunter would be a better build for it.

Come on cobra. We need details!

He seems to be holding out on us, maybe for a reason???

OK, photos as promised, in no particular order:

huh, well isn't that a thing.

Change the barrel, change the bolt and TIG in a couple bits of metal.

Have you slugged that barrel?

I'm trying hard not to be a kill joy, but it really does seems like an expensive way to build a gun which most probably will be outclassed by a CZ858.

No, I haven't. Functions fine with 7.62x39 Norinco ammo, but I don't know what the barrel diameter is.

Meh. To each their own. I love the Vz platform, but also like the AK. At the end of the day, these are all really just toys.

If you mean outclassed in affordability, sure. Other than that, HA!
