Problem with VZ rifles is they are not interchangeable with AK parts OR magazines. Very good quality but..1) VZ 58
2) Arsenal milled receiver
This is a 5.45 but that furniture looks nice...

I totally agree with your comment about the 300 blackout. A friend of my brother is really into it.......I asked him why? You can do the same thing and more with the 7.62X39. He had no answer. Just a ridiculous fad that someone invented to make money on. The magazines and writers are willing accomplices to take cash out of your pocket just like they are with most new and improved firearms.Wow yea lots of mini 30 haters on here... Not quite sure why. The original ones with the aftermarket junk mags were prone to feeding issues but with the factory mags I have never had a problem. As for the steel ammo thing I just buy ppu brass ammo for 8-10 a box of 20. I never understood the new 300 aac blackout kick. I can get new brass 7.62x39 ammo cheaper by far and its usually hotter. I also have a sks to chew up the steel stuff but the new mini is a better platform all around. Don't get me wrong I love my sks and prefer it to almost any AK under 1000 bucks but its just a bit big and clunky compared to an ak or mini. I think if you want a nice rifle in the 7.62x39 under 500 get a sks, under 1k a mini 30, over 1k prob Galil? Arsenal?? So many options for people with the money to spend. I didn't mention the AR platform since I have no experience with them but sounds like they are getting the bugs worked out anyhow.
The "why" depends on the rifle. ARs in .300 Blk require less effort than ARs in 7.62x39. The magazines overall would be better. For anything else? Its pretty much a waste.I totally agree with your comment about the 300 blackout. A friend of my brother is really into it.......I asked him why? You can do the same thing and more with the 7.62X39.

Its not a hobby if its a need. Its a hobby based on a need.Many calibers really don't make sense unless you are a reloader. The plethora of bullets available in .30 gives the 300 blk a distinct advantage over the 7.62x39 for the reloader. Doesn't mean I am hating on the 7.62x39 I have a couple in that cal as well. Variety is what makes the world go round. Face it, need went out the window a long time ago with this hobby. I want one of everything
There is a wide variance between Russian bore diameters. We have slugged many and common .30 cal bullets work just fine in many if not all. I am sure on the outer edge there are barrels that don't tolerate the miniscually smaller bullets but I have not encountered one. I would not try until a barrel slug was done but it is like the argument about 7.62X51 and .308. In all the guns of that caliber I own......I have never encountered one that wouldn't shoot the two specifications interchangeably.Its not a hobby if its a need. Its a hobby based on a need.
Great little article.
I was kinda siding with 7.62x39 for the most part... I think.There is a wide variance between Russian bore diameters.

With sanctions the Russian AKs aren't necessarily the greatest option.What? No love for the Russian saiga's?
Great rifles, but that's just my opinion I guess
