.308 in a g3

[DOC]

OK I bought some .308 on links from the fun show and I was wondering if I should clean off all the cosmoline that is on these? I heard that oiled bullets are sometimes loaded in these guns. So I was just wondering what I should do? It not a lot but its coated.

Also, what can I do with these links?

personally, I'd clean 'em.

the G3 should have a fluted chamber and may be able to cycle 'em, but you have to de-link what you have, so might as well clean 'em up at the same time.


the links? well, it's as good of an excuse as any to get a belt fed weapon [Muaha]

[Marlin]

^^^^^^ This.. A G3 most likely wouldn't care one way or the other..

[cohigh]

I'm assuming you bought 7.62x51 on links? I've never seen .308 on links...and unlike most other rounds, the NATO rating is actually LOWER pressure specs than the commercial .308 'equivalent'

[DOC]

Yeah they're lake city 7.62mm. It just seemed easier to write it out that way.

The rifle should feed them even if they are a bit rough. Cleaning doesn't have to be much I don't suppose, and it may reduce the risk of a stoppage.

Good score for you!
