Moe Zambeak 53 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hmmm...... I got an email yesterday from K-VAR with a link to THIS. I wonder when we will be able to buy the Sporter models. I've been saving up for a 7.62, BUT I think I would have to go with one of these if they are available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Ok cool so they are around now. well something you have to do the math on is the effort you are going to have to put in to clean the rifle every time you use the "cheap" ammo. Right now the best I can find that stuff for is about 70.00 less per 1000 rounds compared to other steel cased ammo. In my mind my time is worth at least 10.00 per hour for hobby related stuff (I'm not going to reload ammo for a savings of a buck if it takes me an hour). Last I timed myself it takes about 15 mins to clean a normal use rifle, it takes me about 2 hours to clean a rifle I've used corrosive ammo in. (you need to take the bolt apart and wash every single part with hot water). So at the savings of .07 per round I'd have to shoot around 300 rounds to have that 20.00 in savings I need to justify using it over a different rifle. The only really good reason to buy it right now is that you can often find 5.45x39 for less then 200.00 per case of wolf or other non corrosive ammo. Thats a savings of about 60.00 per case without having to clean the rifle for hours at a time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vegasdom 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I wonder how much the sporter models will cost? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course I hope the price will drop... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been saving up for a 7.62, BUT I think I would have to go with one of these if they are available. I wouldn't get excited, y'all. I highly suspect this is another "let's go behind RAAC's back" end run deal with Legion/Izhmash on the part of K-Var/Arsenal. If you're patient, I expect regular ol' Klinton Karbines like we're used to for under $400 from RAAC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bvamp 604 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 There will be an official response to this from Cadiz Gun Works this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VanKiller 322 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I don't understand the question here. It's after the 4th, we are still taking pre-orders. Call the office 740-942-3175........10 till 5 EST. Still no hard information, but we are promised guns from the first batch. Most people who want the guns have managed to contact us for their pre-order..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
555JM 10 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Dumb questions: Other than cheaper ammo, what's the advantage of 5.45x39 over .223? Should anyone who's already well stocked with .223 ammo be interested in 5.45x39? Ballistics are similar....aren't they?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m1key 7 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) We can now sell our now very expensive Arsenal Bulgarian AK-74s at a handsome profit and buy 2 or 3 Saigas (maybe) to go along with our huge stockpile of 5.45 ammo that we paid 11 cents/round for and the armfulls of $5 mags.

Red:> Nice got pics, Id love to see both sides of the receiver close up as possible. Also, what are your plans for the rifle? You always go all out with your rigs, and this site is almost devoid of decent gun-porn lately..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
