Anybody used this ammo in their conversion? I tried it in my 10.5 inch registered SBR with not so good results.
Ron suggested I open the gas port up a little and see how it does. I may try that or I may just save it for my CZ-52.

I have a LOT of Polish. But I'm also not getting an SBR upper. What were the specific problems in yours?

I was having a lot of failure to feed with it. I think I might need to enlarge the gas port more.
The Romanian run like a champ.

that makes me suspect that the polish is loaded for pistol velocity rather than rifle. there is a mix out there. the markings on the containers would indicate for sure, but ...

I should've updated this last week. Polish has plenty of gas to operate my rifle. I can load the mag and shoot while I hold in on the bolt catch button and it locks back every time.
I can't figure out why one ammo gives ftf and the other doesn't......

Been using a lot of Polish lately. Most failure to fires that I have exp with the Toks. Going to take some measurements when I get a chance. Primers are severely dented and extraction is just fine, but a PIA doing mag dumps....

so far, polish is definetely the weakest of the surplus ammo out there....and the dirtiest. My preference is the romanian. hotest and cleanest or the surplus....not as clean as commercial though.

Random check... Romanian case length = .963" Polish case length = .975" FYI: Lee die instructions case length?...... .988" Guess what the Go-Gauge is ......  "Hey Tim, I chambered a barrel and it don't work, what's going on?" |

hehehehe.............I can actually picture the conversation.
Surplus is all over the place. that is one reason Alex Arms got away from the 5.45x39 uppers. that and at the time, 223 was so cheap, no one really had any interest.

Polish is feeding but will not pickup a new cartridge Strycnine did you open up gas port? As you said Romanian runs great.
July 2 update
opened up gas port from 3/32 to 7/64 Romanian runs good and polish 55 over oval runs okay but not 54 over oval.
