This looks pretty cool... Ruger American Rifle in 7.62x39

[Jeddak]

that's pretty sweet. if it took AK mags instead of mini 30 mags I would already have bought one.

This. But I will buy one anyways, probably. Threaded.....

I wonder if the barrel is 308 or 311?

My first thought .

The only thing I wonder is if it will shoot steel case reliably? I was looking at bolt guns in 7.62 x39 a while back and I believe the CZ carbine was the only one that would shoot the steel case, and I believe its around $600.

I think the CZ actually recommends the steel cases in the manual.

I'm not really a bolt gun guy, so this may be a dumb question, but why would steel case be a problem?

This shows it (and talks about) shooting Hornady and Wolf steel cased ammo...

Also this on ammo

Can't see why it would be...

Anyone seen them in the stores yet?

I tried searching online at a few places but no love.

Thanks!

I guess if you want to play early you'll be paying.

I'll wait until Christmas - don't need to pay that new gun buyer's premium at the moment.
