Dave Lauck Sends: D&L Custom SLR/Carbine
In email conversations I’ve had with Dave, we’ve talked about the many advantages of the Kalashnikov action, including the undisputed ballistic capability of the 7.62×39 inside of 300 meters. He not only agreed, but has built his own version with number of updates bringing it into the 21st Century. He’s had a large number of inquiries about it including serious interest from the US Border Patrol. -NCS

D&L Custom SLR / Carbine Project Update |
||||||||||||||||||||
| The goal of the D&L inc. custom carbine project has been clear from the start; To create a high performance fast action semi-automatic-only carbine capable of long term field dependability and reliability with simple maintenance requirements. A carbine suitable for duty, defense, hunting, high volume training, and practical competition shooting.
Project input was accepted from shooters with a wide variety of backgrounds. This information was combined with Dave Lauck´s 40+ years of practical carbine experience. The expected use distance focus was 0-200 yards. Only existing and commonly available/affordable intermediate cartridges were considered to assure shooters would be able to train to a high level of skill with the carbine. Carbine project research dated all the way back to the 1940s and the introduction of the StG44, and progressed with hands on experience through the AK, SKS, .30 carbine, AR15, M16, CAR-15, Valmet, Galil, FNC, mini-14, HK33/53/93, and AUG. Objective consideration was given to the good and bad features of all of these firearm designs. The goal was to incorporate the good features into the new carbine project, redesign or drop the bad features altogether, and add performance proven modern features. A mechanically safe design with a track record of long term field reliability and durability with simple maintenance requirements were top prior |
