I MAY have found my wife's new rifle... was created by Sharkey
and I'm looking for anyone who may have either good or bad thoughts about it the company or the rifle itself. I do understand the issues that have been associated with this caliber in ARs but please read my post and then check out the site before listing them so you know what has been addressed and what has not first.
A company called CSC Arms makes an AR15 Elite, chambered in 7.62x39 which seems to fit the bill pretty nicely for my wife's needs.
After doing a WORLD of looking around and reading, I think this guy from CSC seems to come across as having done some fine work on this rifle. He has address pretty much every issue I've heard about as far as problem that arise with this caliber in an AR format including building the lower around the magazines which are made by ASC which appears to be a top notch mag manufacturer and take serious pride in their mags for this caliber.
This rifle comes stock with a 4lb, nickel boron coated trigger assembly, nickel boron coated bolt carrier group (completely coated), custom muzzle brake called "Evil" that I like cuz it has "teeth" (of course...)
:sharkey:
It also comes stock with an 11.5 ounce, 10" free float quad rail and adjustable stock. It has ambidextrous safety and charging handle and Magpul grip.
The upper is made from billet aluminum and the barrel is chrome lined, 1/10 twist and 16 inches long and the entire package weighs in at 6.5lbs.
When you look on the site, he has a few specs for the 5.56 listed with this rifle including the magpul magazine and 1/7 twist but those are not for the 7.62x39 and I've spoken to him on the phone a couple of times to confirm everything.
If anyone has any serious reservations, I'd love to hear them just as I would appreciate anything good you find on them.
They also make a gas piston rifle in the same caliber but I'm sticking with action I'm familiar with and just trying a new caliber so my wife can enjoy shooting a little more and still have the kind of stopping power in a rifle I want her to be able to control.
I'm planning on making the buy sometime after the first of the year and he has quoted me a price I find very hard to say no to.
For the record, he also mentioned he is going to be putting out a .308 rifle within the next couple of months as well so if you contact him at all, make sure to mention you heard about it here are AR10t.com.
We always like companies, big and small, to know where their business is coming from...just in case they wanna give us some kind of site or group deal someday...
Since he's already given me a price, my deal is already set in stone so any advertisement or mention of our site will only benefit us all in the long run.
Here's the rifle. Nice looking, nice weight, nice length, less recoil than our .308s and just right for my wife I believe.
Opinions?

I've had THAT picked out for quite a while....no steel cases for me man...
If she can get good shooting these things out to 100 or 150 yards, we'll both be happy.
I figure these are gonna be some nice "stoppers" for her to shoot squirrels and sich..

Yea for sure. They also make a pointed nose in the 123 grain as well so I figured I'd get some of each and let her have at it.
I also spoke with him about the ammo and he was actually surprised I was going to buy brass cases for it and predicted 1 MOA at 100 yards with it although, well, ya know...we'll see...
He also said I should have NO issues using the ammo I told him I had planned for it but of course and as always, the proof will be in the pudding so I'm just hoping someone has come across one at a range or something just to put a little icing on the cake before I throw out the scratch for it.
I'm pretty convinced this should be a good buy though and the mags for it from ASC are only 22 bucks for 30 rounders so, well, you see what I mean...

Having watched their video about their 7.62x39, I have to say it looks like they've thought of everything and put a lot of work into getting it right.
I'll be really curious to see what kind of groups it prints. The 7.62x39 can be very accurate, but the rifles chambered for it aren't generally the best quality. With a decent set of sights, and higher quality (commercial) bullets, I'd think it should shoot pretty darn well.
Good find, Sharkey.

Thanks Lizzie.
After all I've seen about the issues in this format and caliber, I was thinking they seem to have em covered pretty darn well and since the CEO of the company is good about "playing ball" with the numbers a bit, it's going to be an easier pill to swallow now.
I'm going to be very interested to see what he comes out with in .308. He seems pretty excited about his offering and will be coming out with it in the next month or two...
