That Indian 7.62 has blown up a few receivers on both FALs and HKs. Don't shoot it. Paperstreet, you can get the SA 7.62 a litttle cheaper, but you will have to figure in shipping fees. AIM SURPLUS has SA 7.62 battle packs for $23.95. I think I paid about $32 delivered.

How does one determine throat erosion? Also, what would be considered a "standard" number of rounds to put through a barrel before it was considered shot out?

Repeal the 16th, enforce the 10th.
