Another fish biting the hook here. Seeing these toys in action reminds of running the 60's. Now I want one.

I was looking through the barrels available at Tactical Ammunition, and thought maybe going 7.62x39 for a lesser ammo expense. Unfortunately there's nothing listed as available. Considering they make 308 (7.62x54) barrels, that gets me thinking my wants in a shorter chamber may be an option?

I think it'd be awesome chambered in 7.62x39. I'm not looking forward to my ammo bill

Joe, thanks for letting me help out with your build today. It really turned out to be a great looking rifle. I forgot to take a picture though. So hopefully you can get a few posted.

Thank me? Thank you! Not only for helping me build it today but also for the barrel and parts

It honestly came out looking better than I could have imagined. I found the flash hider I had when I got home, which is actually a titanium unit that I had ordered for my lightweight build. It doesn't make sense to have a titanium FH on a heavy gun like this, but it looks so good with that stainless barrel that it might be worth the $30. Now I just need to get the anti-walk trigger pins, possibly a different sight setup if the dot doesn't work to my liking, and a better bipod :s0155:

That's a sweet looking gas guzzler Joe!

Finally got a chance to shoot this thing yesterday! Took a while to get used to working the gun with the Slidefire, it's going to take some practice to get good at it. I wasn't able to shoot it very well from the cheap bi-pod so I'll definitely have to invest in a sturdier unit. I'm going to need a third job to feed this thing -- the few seconds it took to empty the 60 round drum cost around $20!
