and I'm looking for anyone who may have either good or bad thoughts about it the company or the rifle itself. I do understand the issues that have been associated with this caliber in ARs but please read my post and then check out the site before listing them so you know what has been addressed and what has not first.
A company called CSC Arms makes an AR15 Elite, chambered in 7.62x39 which seems to fit the bill pretty nicely for my wife's needs.
After doing a WORLD of looking around and reading, I think this guy from CSC seems to come across as having done some fine work on this rifle. He has address pretty much every issue I've heard about as far as problem that arise with this caliber in an AR format including building the lower around the magazines which are made by ASC which appears to be a top notch mag manufacturer and take serious pride in their mags for this caliber.
This rifle comes stock with a 4lb, nickel boron coated trigger assembly, nickel boron coated bolt carrier group (completely coated), custom muzzle brake called "Evil" that I like cuz it has "teeth" (of course...)
:sharkey:
It also comes stock with an 11.5 ounce, 10" free float quad rail and adjustable stock. It has ambidextrous safety and charging handle and Magpul grip.
The upper is made from billet aluminum and the barrel is chrome lined, 1/10 twist and 16 inches long and the entire package weighs in at 6.5lbs.
When you look on the site, he has a few specs for the 5.56 listed with this rifle including the magpul magazine and 1/7 twist but those are not for the 7.62x39 and I've spoken to him on the phone a couple of times to confirm everything.
If anyone has any serious reservations, I'd love to hear them just as I would appreciate anything good you find on them.
They also make a gas piston rifle in the same caliber but I'm sticking with action I'm familiar with and just trying a new caliber so my wife can enjoy shooting a little more and still have the kind of stopping power in a rifle I want her to be able to control.
I'm planning on making the buy sometime after the first of the year and he has quoted me a price I find very hard to say no to.
For the record, he also mentioned he is going to be putting out a .308 rifle within the next couple of months as well so if you contact him at all, make sure to mention you heard about it here are AR10t.com.
We always like companies, big and small, to know where their business is coming from...just in case they wanna give us some kind of site or group deal someday...
Since he's already given me a price, my deal is already set in stone so any advertisement or mention of our site will only benefit us all in the long run.
Here's the rifle. Nice looking, nice weight, nice length, less recoil than our .308s and just right for my wife I believe.
Opinions?
