I have a Turk smallring action and I would like to rebarrel it to shoot the cheap 7.62x39 ammo.

Will this ammo shoot with enough consistency to make it worth the while.

Thanks

Save yourself a lot of trouble & $$$$$ & just shoot the cheap 8x57mm stuff.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

SOME of it will!

The top group is the Winchester FMJ factory load. Shot at 100 yards with a CZ 527 carbine, 2.5X scope.

Buy somebody else's take off barrel on eBay for ten bucks! Chances are if you post in the classifieds here somebody might even give you one.

Thanks all

ER Shaw won't make a barrel period!

just wanted a light caliber rifle to shoot cheap and still be accurate enough that it will be fun to shoot.

I need a .311 barrel ER Shaw said.
