7.62x39?

[tikker]

Any chance at offering the 7.62x39 in the lineup? Been thinking of building an upper in this cartridge and wondered if it will ever be offered through BHW.

Thanks

I have not heard it being mentioned. Maybe Ritch has heard more.

I don't think you will ever see a true 7.62X39. Carl has made it clear on more than 1 occasion he would not build an off size barrel. He only makes .308 barrels. The 7.62 is .310 to .311 bore diameter. I know you can reload at .308 but that removes all the cheap Russian ammo.

I had a feeling since the bore size was different that it would be the decided factor. That and chrome lining a barrel would only add to the extra steps needed to offer a barrel in this type of cartridge.

I asked the same question a while back...in fact I was down to get a .308 bore 7.62x39 barrel but then I was asked if I had a reamer in 7.62x39.....I guess I looked like a barrel builder at the time.

My dreams were shattered in an instant.
