My new LWRCI an C-Products
With things being pretty shaky with our economy right now, I have been doing a lot of thought about what I am planning to use at training sessions in the coming year. I have watched the prices of 5.45×39 for almost 2yrs now and seen very limited movement. Almost 10yrs ago I did a range test at a 500yd gun club where I tested a Romanian SARI and a Romanian SARII side by side. I engaged targets at 100yds and tested groups sizes. I’m very much aware of what the AK was designed to do and expecting better than 4inch groups from a 7.62×39 gun is a lot with military ammo. I know you can do better with handloads, but that’s another story. As I proceed out to 300yds, I had more and more hold over with the SARI rifle. The SARII gun was nailing targets and I don’t think I was holding more than 12 inches over the targets. Even though I thought the gun was a little clunky, it was as flat shooting as an M4 Carbine.
My LWRCI upper was something I have wished for, for several years. I know I will be the first amongst my friends to test this gun out, but it seems to be a better thought out idea over the Smith & Wesson 5.45×39 upper. The Smith & Wesson is a direct impingement gun and even though they will fit in the same gun cases as my LWRCI, I don’t thing they are the same. Say what you will about the AR design, but this LWRCI upper is a combat gun and not a plinking gun. I wouldn’t expect a gun like the S&W to hold up to much abuse unless there was a domestic manufacturer of 5.45×39 ammo.
