I bought a reciever and mcgowen barrel from one of our members and finally put it all together and what a shooter.The barrel is screwed to an early 110 long action in .223 originally and you can even put 2 in the mag and one in the chamber and ues it as a repeater.I shot a few .350 groups with the lapua ammo that came with the gun parts.I tried cheaper stuff and it shot real well,way under a moa.I am thrilled,a tack drive with no recoil hardly and plenty of reasonably priced ammo out there.All I can say is thanks Brad for selling me the stuff to pull this off and being forthright and honest! By the way this cartridge is way nicer to shoot than even my beloved 30-30 winchester.The 7.62x39mm is a way overlooked cartridge considering it was the base cartridge for the ppc. If you want a tame gun with plenty of power for a youngster or recoil shy lady,give this a try.
