Funny this thread came back, started talking to a friend today about building a FAL.

Nice bolt action. For the longest time I've been wanting to pick up a Saiga 7.62x39, but the thing that has been holding me back is the availability of other firearms in that same caliber. The one I've been researching on lately is the bolt action CZ 527 in 7.62x39, it's a nice compact size and looks like a lot of fun to shoot. Only thing is it doesn't seem to fire cheap ammo well because of the harder primer, which defeats the purpose sharing ammo for the Saiga.
