Gun-Day Sunday: The Robinson XCR

Just took the plunge on a gun that I’ve had my eye on for a couple of years– the Robinson XCR, in 7.62x39mm no less! Yes, I’ve heard good things and bad things, but my assessment is that the gun has had the kinks wrung out. And then, I saw one on Gunbroker.com (where else??) and it sang out to me– slightly used and broken in, with sights affixed, several magazines, and some extras. And the price was right. After a couple of emails with the seller– turns out he bought it while *he* was in Iraq– and with the ever-ready Loudoun Guns, I realized that the transaction was do-able. So all I have to do is wait til I get back, complete the paperwork and it’s mine. N I C E.

I had originally been looking at an XCR in 6.8mm, but when I saw this one, I realized that in 7.62×39 it fit the bill better, because I already have assloads of ammo for it, and we *know* that the round will do the deed. I cannot wait to get my hands on it.
