Not to resurrect an old thread, but I just bought a new 527 American in 7.62x39. I have not pulled it apart yet but I am 99.9% certain that it has the V-Block bedding system that was once reserved for the Varmint. (It shows the V-Block in the parts diagram) It shoots like it does: BELOM fmj @ 3/4" at 100 yards and my Nosler/AA1680 handloads at half MOA. Superb workmanship.~Riuma
