    Ruger American Ranch 7.62x39

    Saw this yesterday in my YT feed and thought some of ya'll might be interested. The fact that it takes Mini-30 mags is particularly interesting to me even though I don't own a Mini-30 yet.

    It would be a lot more interesting if it took AK magazines. As would the Ruger Mini 30, for that matter.

    If the mini30 took AK mags I would not be able to resist the urge to get a tactical model.

    I have an SKS that takes AK mags but it had a bunch of bubba bullshit on it and I haven't fully rehabed it yet.

    I'll take the shorter, thinner, and less pointy 20-round Ruger mags. I'll also start saving for one of these and a red dot. Then to see if the twist rate will stabilize Lee 312-185-1R bullets just because.

    Hmm...strangely interested. LPV or a RDS, 10 or 20rd mag, may be useful. I wonder what the bore dim is?

    Wow... That's interesting. Wonder if those mags would feed 6.5 Grendel....

    That would be cool, not sure that they would through.

    Notably, the 6.5 Grendel Vepr does not use regular 7.62x39 magazines, despite the similarities in their parent case.

    Whittaker dropped the price on the 7.62x39 Howa Mini Action about 25% for the weekend. I probably won't be able to resist that. Will sleep on it, though.

    Magpul announced a stock for the Ruger American at SHOT - should be out in the fall.
