As reported by American Rifleman:
7.62x39 ammo is crazy plentiful and _cheap_ relative to 7.62x51 and .308, never mind that being .30 caliber it's lawful in most states for taking big game from deer and bear up to moose and elk...Just as .30-30 and .308 are.
Running out of this non-AK (barrel wobble) platform which has internals most akin to an FN FAL, this should be the cats meow in the areas of Tonka toy reliability as well as hunting capable accuracy when the shooter selects the proper projectile for a given game type and distance.
I hope they make an 'SCM' variant for those of us who live in suck states.
IMHO this now invalidates with a single blow the S&W 5.54R as well as the benefit in spending coin on either an improved Saiga or a WASR or purchase of an SKS for hunting.
In one gun platform you've got the best of all worlds, and it'll run regular AK mags at that....Coming with a lifetime Sig warranty.
Wait a year for prices to drop and these things will no doubt be $900 by Q4/Q1 '12...Just as with the 5.56 chambered 556.
