      I was really lucky finding mine, got it from a dude that bought a sealed barrel full of them in the early 90s. It took like a gallon of mineral spirits to clean all the cosmoline off and out of it.

      I still have a couple ammo cans full of 7.62, but it’s getting harder to find for a decent price, so I’m kind of hesitant to fire them off willy nilly. It used to be my primary caliber, so I have a mini-30 that i usually save it for.

      I’ve been putting 5.56 together for a while now, but the ar just isn’t my favorite platform so ive been lacking the motivation to finish it. Plus, I don’t really get to hit the range very often either. Most of the outdoor ones around me are full of right winged chuds, and they make you sign up with the nra to become a member.
