Thread: What to buy to replace my .223 Semi

I managed to pick up a Ruger American 7.62x39 as a replacement for my Mini30, Miss the Mini30 but it is what it is. Held onto my magazines when I passed in my 30 so have 5 & 10 rd mags for the American. Shoots more accurately than my 30, Ak`s or SKS`s ever did. As the 223 version takes AR mags that's a possibility.
The Americans bolt could be smoother and it has jammed on me a couple of times for no apparent reason while loading, apart from that it seems fine. GC as I understand got 25 in their last shipment and all were sold in 2 days including the one I bought. The retailers must be the only ones winning from this Confiscation.

Yes I have also heard rumors that messers Nash / Adern with the assistance of the NZ Police have single handedly been the best sales people the sports stores have never employed!!

Just been looking at the Americans, I would have brought a HMR14 Begerra in .223 but they don't make one

But they make one in 22 250 with a 1-9 twist which maybe a starter @mikee

Or just a marlin in 30 30, shot many wallabies with one of them years ago plenty of older jm ones about
