Rugar American Ranch In Commie Caliber

[3MTA3]

What's a "Rugar"? Never heard if that manufacturer.

It's the official rifle of men who wear Rolax watches.

I have 3 Ruger Americans, 2 rimfires, and a .223 Ranch. They are all very accurate

It's from their custom shop. PAX

Just in case anyone out there cares; be it known, the Ruger rifles chambered for 7.62x39mm have a .308 bore, not the .311 bore the regular 7.62x39mm guns have. So if you are reloading for it, you will probably get less wear and better groups if you use .308 diameter bullets.

I bought a recent production Ruger American Predator chambered. Pretty much just because it takes AR mags. The bolt machining left a lot to be desired - I spent several hours stoning and polishing it to get it to lose some of the zipper sound. Trigger is "okay" and it shoots good groups though. If I had to do it again, I'd probably buy something else though.

Well.....there once was a time, when Commie ammo was cheap. Corrosive primed or not. Though it's no longer the case. Sooo.....

Me.....I have dreams. LOL.

I seem to recall the mention of the pallet, .308 and hunting. Confusing to me . But anyway....your 2nd post.

When I think of "commie ammo". I think of it as.......most of that "cheap commie ammo," ain't "hunting ammo". But, if your pallet is suitable for your needs.......well, more power to you.

Mind you that I don't hunt. Anyway, I asked a friend of mine about his "hunting ammo" on several occasions. He basically said that after spending all that time and money to go hunt.....

"Why gamble on using surplus ammo? Besides, most surplus is FMJ."

Then, another friend told me that a box of 20 rounds was enough for his hunting season needs.

BUT, But, but......I know for a fact, that I once traded with another friend.....a box of my .30 cal Match 168 gr. HBHP bullets. And, he said he was gonna use it for hunting.

Whatever.

If someone wants to hunt with whatever......it ain't in my dreams. That all being said.....YOU having a pallet of commie ammo (or whatever else).

Well, I'm envious.

Aloha, Mark

Sometimes I really regret not buying a pallet of 54r back in the day. That or 5.45. You could always get repackaged stuff at most sores for 2-3 bucks a pack of 50 back then so buying huge amounts didn't register.

Does this rifle create a new category of firearms, the CCC (Commie Caliber Carbine)?

I have a boat load of SKSs and before the plague I bought ammo cheap and stacked it deep, rifles too,
Mostly FMJ but I've got HP & SP too but it's no good in Kali for hunting, has to be bi-metal.

I also have a ton of X54 to for the Mosins and SVT, I try to have a minimum of 1K of my primary calibers, 9mm, .357, .45, even .41 mag, ,30-06, X51 (.308), 7mm.. Only 500 rounds each of .30-30, .270, .22-250, and of course buckets of .22lr. But my deer rig is a .308 Savage 99F. I'm still on my first box of that. PAX

Great gun with excellent accuracy for bulk steel cased ammo. I put mine in a chassis and ditched the oem stock.

TRYBE Defense Chassis review Ruger American 7.62x39

I bought a Ruger American in 7.62x39 about 9 months ago. I wanted a training rifle for the kids that shot good and was cheap to feed. It’s been an excellent shooter right out of the box and with x2 shots it took x2 deer last season with Barnaul 123gr soft point. (My dad taking his buck and mine...

Ruger has produced many rifles through the years in 7.62X39 in many different models. Are you positive with your statement that Ruger rifle barrels in that caliber have .308 bores and will take 308 bullets?

Other than glass I tried not to go down the modification rabbit hole, mainly for the primary reason for acquisition, cheap initial costs. But I should have started out with the mag well swap to AK or AR mag usage. after wasting money on Magpul crap. I have a few WASR 10 single stack I'd like too use but it's a strech. PAX

When the 'Mini Thirty' first came out, there was a notification of the bore diameter being .308. With the apparent success of that platform, I can't imagine them changing things. You could always contact them to verify.

I don't think it makes that much difference on pressures as I've run rooskie boolets through my 300BLK without issue also

The Ruger has a .311 bore FYI just let those know who think otherwise I would say slug your bore.

I heard the older Rugers in X39 were .308" as you noted. I called Ruger before purchasing mine and they said the RARR was .310" IIRC, which is what the barrel in mine slugged.

My CZ 527 in X39 slugged .312"

Love mine.

Is it sad that I looked at the picture and thought, "nice, I've shot at that range before".
