Zastava M85 "Mini Mauser" for under 400. Could be good donor for Grendel build. - jluck - 06-10-2014
This is the .223 but should still be cheaper than finding a 7.62x39 M85 even after buying a new bolt or machining the existing.

I like the idea, but you can go to j&g sales and get the 7.62 for the same price.

WOW! I didn't even look. Last time I was shopping for one of the 7.62x39's they were north of 600.00

The magazine box on the 7.62x39 is also a little bit longer than the 223 one.
Although it makes no real difference as my Grendel throws 100gn NBTs very nicely and they don't get seated out anywhere near magazine length.
