I've never had any issues shooting steel cased ammo and I've shot thousands of rounds out of my one Bushmaster AR. Sometimes the lacquer on the wolf ammon can screw with guns but I haven't had a problem. But the one bad thing about steel cased ammo you can't get around is that it's non-reloadable. Another good place to look for cheap, bulk ammo is sportsmansguide.com
 
Im 90% positive the Silver Bear is steel cased ( I cant access that website from work), its a Russian ammo company like Wolf is.

Almost all Russian ammo is steel cased, Lacquered, and have Copper plated steel bullets. this stuff is not manufactured to tolerances that many other brands of 5.56x45 are. A lot of the feed problems and jamming when using the Tula or Barnaul in an AR is because it was not made for them. It is made for Russian manufactured weapons that have looser tolerances.

It is actually amusing that I have sat on the range and fired some 350 rounds of Wolf (Tula) through my SAR-3 right next to a guy with an AR shooting the same ammo. His gun jammed just about every 20 rounds and he had to clean the chamber out twice.. I never had a hic-up. The wolf ammo cycled and functioned perfectly without any issues. I've never had a build up of anything in the chamber either which apparently happens often in AR's when shooting this ammo.

didnt centerfiresystems.com have AN-94 kits not too long ago?
I was not aware of it if they did.. (and going to be pissed if they did) Only ones I know of where Demilled Deacts that came from a small group of them that was imported into england (I think). I've only seen one of them and the price was insane...
 
Gun above itself is not really interesting.. just a 1943 Ishvesk Former PU "sniper" re-arsenal made in the Ukraine .. Real kicker is the scope.. This particular PU scope is a very early Aluminum tube scope with brass fittings and PE/ PEM style reticle housing . These scopes are uber-rare and only a very few have ever actually been seen. http://mosinnagant.net/sniper section/sniperphotos12.asp

Gun was just a by product and very nice on it's own but this scope is worth every penny spent.
 
so now the question do you shot it or is it a wall hanger ? I would want to shot it a couple of times then lock it up lol

I do not do wall hangers... :) Guns are tools and as such need to be used for their designed purpose IMO. Letting it sit around gathering dust would be shameful of it's history..

In fact I bought this one just to shoot matches and test handloads with. I might put a postwar scope on it due to the rarity of the current one for general shooting, but both will be out in the dust, snow and rain on the range more often than others in my collection.

What's the caliber?
7.62x54mm (.310 to be exact)

thanks! the reason it legal is because of the Bullet Button. you cant drop the mag with your finger, you need a tool like a bullet tip, pen, screwdriver etc. according to PC 12276.1, this rifle is not considered an assault weapon because it requires a tool to drop the mag.

its one lovely loophole!

Very cool gun, is that the one you can get a twin barrel magazine for ?
I have a twelve gauge marine magnum pump, I love it very much......:headbang2
