There's barely anything in the US chambered in 9x39. Most of it's custom made.

Bolt actions

so they were wildcatting it

Pretty much

Why do all of you nutswing over everything Russia uses?

It's intresting

^

Sure. But it seems to go past that

everyone likes iconic unobtanium

Like 7n6 despite it being shitty

That’s a great example

lol

It’s like folks loving anything norinco makes

i think a lot of that was low cost

much like 7.62x54r

I’ve met a lot of Americans who drool over sub-par items just because they’re “rare”

that and everyone wants an AK-74U

Despite being current production chinkshit

I’d love a little boltgun in 9x39

>dude takes a pisspoor shot, nails deer

>this is deer two weeks later

A Howa Mini-Action

I've seen another picture like that somewhere

That's not even a bad shot

forget howa, give me a CZ527 in 9x39

Jesus fuck did the wound freeze shut?

A little high and right but not *awful*

It's a meh shot but I'm guessing it froze up

It was cold enough for it to coagulate within 1 hour

Gut shots are a pain to clean though

@Reichtangle agreed on that norinco point

Fuck this convo about weird shit I wanna know how that shot didn't kill the deer?

The only reason the deer isnt dead because of the cold, and if it were spring or something, the wound would have already gotten infected.

It didn't

Didnt kill the deer _yet_

Super delayed action

It probably won't

@FireRising Narrowly missed the spine, completely missed the heart and lungs

And more importantly what caliber was used to shoot that deer?
