    "A replica of the cannon was made in 2002 at the Izhevsk machine-building factory. It was given to the Ukrainian city of Donetsk and now is installed near the Donetsk city administration building." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Pushka Yes, that is correct. Izhevsk Machine Building Plant IS Izhmash. And you know a cannon is massive when it is "installed".

    Sorry, I cannot provide any opinions on those manufacturers. However, I do have some research material if you are interested. http://forums.officer.com/showthread.php?81462-So-you-want-to-buy-an-AR-15-huh The thread is four years old, but extremely informative. They do specifically touch on Rock River and Daniel Defense-- the AR models might be different.

    Budget, sadly. I impaled myself... with medical bills though.

    No, I have not carried around a Saiga .308. I have shot a Bushmaster .308 before and have hauled around AR variants of the .223. Maybe I could have been more accurate in asking about follow up shots, and not sustained rates of fire. The subject of sustained rate of fire does seem to encapsulate follow up shots and more --honestly just after some information that I was unable to find, or answer satisfactorily. And from a purely media driven image of the AK, you can certainly see how one might inquire about sustained rates of fire I do appreciate and agree with your comments regar

    Yes, this is totally new, well to me. Thank You. I will be looking into the weapon and the 7.62x54R cartridge soon. All these replies, to this point have shown me that I still have some hard thought ahead on the subject. I understand all the points made, and they are very sagacious, thank you guys/gals.

    What kind of margin are we talking about with sustained rate of fire? Lets modify the question to sustained accurate rates of fire, just to be clear, and all on the same page. Are we talking x39 1round/1 second and .308 1round/2 seconds? It is understood shooter experience will come into play, but from a mechanical viewpoint, is it a sizable difference? And also as pointed out by Captain Hero, something I had not considered, which is why I did this post, barrel heating when rapid firing. I can see the x39 being more tolerant of rapid fire than the .308. However, is this a major element or

    For either an AK in .308 or in 7.62x39. Here is the terrain: A previously thinned timber area, now heavy woodland, with 15 years worth of small diameter tree and brush undergrowth; hog and deer heaven now. Long and narrow logging roads wind their way in a labyrinth through the 100's of acres of slow rolling terrain. After some distance, these roads lead to random wide clearings of pasture, most under 20 acres, but irregularly arranged and shaped. There are 2 separate clearings for 2 pipelines that run through the area, and the views here can be in the 1000's of yards. -Practical
