Any good budget AR's in 7.62x39?

There are There are plenty to choose from. The problem you're going to have is finding one that is in stock for a reasonable price.

PSA would be the 1st place I would look

Get a Dedicated x39 rifle if you want x39. To me the point of the AR is 5.56/223

Watch Bear Creek Arms for sales around Labor Day. They make great uppers mine does this kind of pattern at 100yds, I was totally surprised & happy that it was hitting that good with cheap Wolf black box rounds.

This is 10 rounds from 100yd away with Wolf black box ammo.

BCA has some x39 options, as does psa. Personally I tend to default to BCA because of the side charging upper.
For the x39 tho I'd probably go with psa's ks47 lower, and a BCA sidencharging upper.

I bought a PSA KS-47 10.5” pistol and liked it so much I bought a 16” rifle to go along with it.

Dint know if it’s “budget” priced, but they are great shooters and have really good reviews.

Mostly AR controls EXCEPT it uses AK magazines, so no bolt release and an AK style mag release. I specifically bought this because it uses standard AK mags. I use Magpul PMAGS and they work flawlessly.



This is the rifle I bought:

Keep checking the website...they come into stock all the time but don’t last long.

Pretty good review here, but lots of others on YouTube:

I may be mistaken, but I don’t think you can mix and match the PSA KS-47 upper or lowers With other brands because the PSA has a hybrid AK/AR bolt. It has that because it uses AK mags versus AR 7.62 mags.

Your probably right, i havent tried to put one together yet.
From the pictures bolts look different, the bolt carriers look the same to me....the uppers probably different, didn't think about that.....might still see if I can't make a side charger fit

I agree with those point you to PSA. Good quality at a good price. If they have them in stock.

Those are cool, friend if mine suggested the same thing when I mentioned my idea to him too lol.

BCA makes the lowest price standard AR upper in 7.62x39 but they also have a low reputation as well. PSA was making short barrel AR pistol uppers in 7.62x39 but I haven't seen them sell rifle length barrel versions in a while.

I just picked up my new16” rifle a few days ago

I bought a Radical Firearms 7.62x39 upper that is a great shooter. No problems other than a couple of hand guard screws that needed a drop of thread locker.

7.62x39 AR15’s work wonderfully with standard uppers and lowers provided the right magazines are used. C-products mags are the ticket.

Windham weaponrys 7.62 have run flawless forme.
