Gun and gear reviews Makasi imbound?

Just saw this post from Brigade. I have a feeling those are headed north.

I'd love to be able to order a second upper in 7.62.

It’s x39 even that cheap at this point? Seems like 223 is similar priced now a days.

Ive never shot 5.56 but im willing to try. I just prefer 7.62 personally

I just find there’s a lot more quality ammo in 223 and 556.

That true. Part of why I want a 556 no matter what

I think many have stocked up on 7.62x39? Even though surplus has dried up, Norinco Red Box is still priced OK.

Some of us like to make barricade busters where shorter range is not a undue issue, and penetration is prized over range.

Never mind how devastating SP is for hunting.

I still prefer it well over the .300 blackout for everything but bullet selection.
