Did you guys see the warning? DO NOT use commercially loaded .308 Winchester ammunition in ANY rifle chambered for 7.62 NATO! I guess it's not a .308 Ishapore.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

BS

In the February issue of the NRA American Rifleman it dispels that myth.  .308 in 7.62 is fine.

Go Phillies!!!
Y'know, Haz...you've got me convinced that I  need one of those rifles. I'm just going to have to
wait until I get further down my gotta have list. It's coming though.
All the ones I've seen in photos are pretty ugly though....are they beat up or just stuck in old cosmoline like a mosquito in an amber block?

Mine is not very beat up at all.  It is ugly when you get it from the cosmoline, though. So buy a gallon of mineral sprits ad some rags and brushes. ;D

I always thought they were the same thing and then I saw that warning and wondered if I was wrong about it for 30 years. I don't know why one person says one thing and everything else I've read says the opposite. I'm a few years behind on my reading but I'll have to read that AR article. BTW it's the only gun magazine I get besides the Guns & Ammo annual, and that doesn't have much in it other than the catalog anymore. Very disappointed with that.

Guess what showed up in the mail yesterday ...  ;D

It's still laying on the desk, but copies will be made and the original filed away in the gun room  ;D

Wonder what I can get everyone for Christmas  ;)

Looked back at the thread, and it was September 22nd when I e-mailed BATF for the forms, the check was written on September 26th, and the license arrived on November 21st.  I was afraid it would take much longer.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.
