Nebraska checking in - FiveOaks - 09-08-2021
Howdy fellas, I am from Eastern Nebraska and I enjoy building and shooting Kalashnikov pattern firearms. Several months back I started collecting the parts for a 6.5 Grendel AK to take advantage of the cheap Wolf steel case. Unfortunately with the ban on Russian ammo my dreams of a cheap shooting 6.5G AK were dashed but I won't that dissuade me. I am in the process of getting the equipment together to reload ammunition, and hope to work up a cheap(er) load using Speer 90 gr TNT. I am 10 weeks into a 12 week wait on my 80% receiver from Childers and then I will get her pressed together.

Welcome to the Forum FiveOaks! Are using the larger Vepr receiver or a stamped AK receiver? Have you decided which magazines your going to use?

I am using a stamped 1mm receiver. I have purchased a few of the CSSpecs mags and decided to go that way instead of an AR mag adapter. They are very high quality mags I am impressed with them.
