Just a question what ammo are you going to use factory/reload. Some years ago I had a FAL straight pull (not the same I know) it suffered from extraction problems until I started using Samson Factory 7.62x51 ammo which I then reloaded, never had anymore problems.

Thanks mate, I have some german milsurp 308 to try out, if not I will take your tip many thanks !

Hi,

Fantastic looking rifle, I always thought that straight pull (section 1) rifles, couldn't be converted from old semi autos or they would still be classified as Section 5, how do they get round this?

Cheers, John.
