In fact the cheap reddot that sig offered with it at the time still works and holds 0. Take it apart. Look for excessive wear. If none buy it. Use grease and shoot the shit out of it. I do.

No AR in 7.62 is as reliable as a Toyota. And I know that because I spent an unbelievable amount of time and money learning what breaks. Its better now as more makers learn to deal with the problems (broken bolts, firing pins, etc. etc.) but in the end the mag situation makes it all a play item.

There’s no excessive wear. In fact it looks very close to new. It’s not been shot much. I said earlier that I wasn’t going to get it, but maybe. They are closed until Tuesday so I have a few days to think about it

Not really interested in the AR platform for 7.62x39, mainly because of the need for different magazines. That is what I like so much about the SIG rifle-I already have plenty of mags. I can buy the rifle and I’m ready to go.

It will be good if Wolff can supply springs. Maybe we could ask about a group buy. There seems to be several of us that would buy a few apiece. If you guys don’t get around to asking them let me know and I will inquire.

Still very hesitant to buy this thing without a source for at least a few extra recoil springs. We’ll see

I have the WW in that caliber. it's supposed to be as reliable as a Toyota with ASC magazines. I haven't had a chance to get it to the range so no personal experience yet. I can say in general that I am impressed with the quality of WW. I think they make a real nice rifle for the money.

ETA: they don't take AK mags
