Windham Weaponry WW-15 SRC 7.62x39mm Hardcoat Black Anodize AR-15 Style Modern Sporting Rifle

A: According to this page, it would be. But just be sure a check you local laws to make sure you are in compliance. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/michigan_restrictions.pdf

A: Yes Here are two sites for reference https://www.nraila.org/gun-laws/state-gun-laws/michigan/ http://www.michigan.gov/msp/0,4643,7-123-1878_1591_3503_4654---,00.html

A: Accepts AR Pattern 7.62x39 Magazines, not AK nor AR 5.56 mags. Simply do a google search for "AR 7.62x39 magazine". Plenty will pop up.

A: Im using the ASC mags in my AR 7.62x39 & no problems so far https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=26_27&filter_id=1937

A: It uses 7.62x39 AR mags. You may want to swap out the trigger group, because a lot of cheap x39 ammo has really hard primers.

A: Maybe this rifle has slightly looser tolerances since it's 7.62x39mm. The use of dirty ammo would mean cleaning any firearm more often no matter what firearm or caliber.

A: The Russian AK has much looser tolerances than most rifles so it does not have problems with steel case ammo. When a cartridge is fired it expands in the chamber. Because brass is slicker (and softer than steel) it will extract easier than an expanded steel cartridge. Similarly, using steel cartridges will over the long haul will wear the extractor out sooner than brass. Windham makes good quality products, so I would have to believe that they did their homework and designed some additional tolerance into their 7.62 x 39 AR to accommodate steel cartridges which predominate usage in this caliber. However, most Russian steel bullets (and Chinese variants) use cheaper powders that leave more residue and you should clean the rifle more frequently than a typical 5.56/.223 type AR.

A: There are several factors that might contribute to more jamming. Dirty ammo is one. The other is design, tolerances and fit which means tighter is worse not better if the ammo is dirty. Finally extractor design and strength for steel is more critical. The only issues I have personally seen with steel ammo are a broken extractor and failure to extract both on 9mm pistols. Every gun designed to take Russian steel ammo that I own hasn't had a problem. I would not expect any with this weapon.

A: It really depends on the gun and things like temperature, etc. My ATI Omni runs it easily whereas some people with the exact same rifle say it will not. It is one of those things you've got to try first. Luckily steel cased is not too expensive.

A: There are often vast differences between the "official" MSRP and what a lot of guns actually cost. Buds has the Steyr M9-A1 for almost $100 less than Steyr's website would suggest for example.

A: You'll find smoking deals on many AR type rifles right now especially many of the less popular ones. It doesn't mean they are substandard quality. It usually means that because of popular opinion they just didn't catch on like some of the more tacti-cool ones. This item cannot use standard AR mags and didn't tweak the "SHTF/prepper/survivalist" hot button.

A: A couple of weeks ago, the rifle was on sale for $499. The link you found in your search may have been old. The price on this rifle just went up last week. Quite the jump.

A: This was at $499 cash price for just a couple weeks. I ordered one on May 20. It went up to regular price around last Friday, the 26th or so. Best low price for this WW 7.62 is around $750 to $850 since it's release. I couldn't pass on this one for $499.

A: It is down to $525. You better buy one now before it goes back up.

A: Uhh buds is awesome...

A: The trigger spring has the same part number as the 5.56 models. So the same.

A: It uses the same spring their 5.56 model uses so there is a very good chance you might need to replace it with something a bit stronger if you start having issues with light primer strikes.

A: Standard AR type with about 8lbs of pull.

A: Unfortunately no, it comes with a 30 round mag and would be illegal in CA. The mag alone would rule it out. Among other things. I hope that helps!
