7.62 x39 ar

I've had my Model 1 7.62x39 Upper for nearly two years. I couldn't be happier with the setup. The 7.62x39 performs very well out of an AR platform and even the steel cased ammo give a level of accuracy that is better than my old 30-30 lever. The only mod you'll need is to the firing pin, if your going to shoot the harder primers in the steel cased stuff. I went with the MGI Enhanced Bolt and have never had a problem since then.
I originally bought the upper for slapping Yotes at a friend's sheep ranch. It's fun to watch the heavier slug make those suckers roll when hit with it.

I have a Del Ton M4A3 build in 7.62X39 which I really enjoy. I also got an MGI bolt for it and put an extra strength Wolff hammer spring on it as a guarantee against light primer strikes. I use C-product 10 and 30 round mags and have had no problems with them. In all, I really like the system.

I just got a bushmaster in 762x39. I wont get into the reliablitiy fight as i havent owned it long enough to comment but i will coment on the why. I bought it for two reasons. First it is a much better caliber for deer hunting using an ar and even in self defense its a harder hitting round. Second i bought it becuase in my ars i about exclusively use handloads as i cant afford to shoot them the way i do unless i load my own. Loading components have been hard to get lately and I found 5 cases of wolf ammo for a 150 bucks a case here local. I figure if i cant find components at least i can still shoot this one without breaking the bank.

The tighter tolereance can also make it a jam-o-matic.
