That will make using the enemies ammo easier, especially if Ukraine gets the upgraded M60E6's.

Let NATO supply the Ukraine

We still can't import it, so it is useless to me.

Certainly looks like an AR 10 clone. Interesting the Russians would be moving to a NATO 7.62 round but maybe theirs is a different spec from our .308 cartridge?

[baboon]

So does this address which is a better design the AK or the AR?

Hmmm...so the rooskies have adopted an AR10 clone, in 308, to replace their Dragonof line of sniper rifles?

Sure does look like it.

"It's just an AR-10. Been around since the late 1950's. It was Stoner's first design in 7.62x51 and later the caliber was changed to accommodate 5.56 and became the AR-15."

That is from the article so everyone is saying the same thing. Nah hell just order one from PSA they have them in stock.

Looks like a piston drive AR-10. Makes sense from a practical perspective. If you might fight NATO forces you can pick up their ammo drops, plus the black market is heavily stocked in 308.

I bet it’s a heavy bitch to lug around, but the Russian military doesn’t recruit from the Rainbow Alliance so they have actual men packing those rifles.

I have a PSA AR-1O, Its a fence post. But now a days they all seem like fenceposts.
