If you SHOOT A LOT and those thinking about stock piling 7.62x39 ammunition, have you considered these alternatives as COST SAVING options while RETAINING the 7.62x39 platform?
Shooting .223 reloads, especially 9mm/22LR, could result in significant money savings over lifetime to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars while still retaining 7.62x39 platform and buying steel cased ammo when they are lower in cost/on sale.
What are your thoughts on these alternative options to 7.62x39?
- Buy/build AR15 to shoot reloadable .223/5.56 brass ammunition with no concern for import ban
- Shoot lower cost reloads with more readily available .223/5.56 components
- May produce smaller groups depending on AR15 components/ammunition
- Shoot 9mm in AR15 with Endo Mag kit in Magpul PMags and 9mm upper/buffer (Or build dedicated 9mm lower that takes Glock magazines)
- Shoot 22LR in AR15 with CMMG conversion kit and 22LR AR magazines (Or buy 22LR AR/dedicated 22LR upper for greater accuracy)
- If you have large enough gun/AK collection, sale of firearm could fund AR15/AR9/22LR purchase
