Has anyone put a 7,62x39mm upper on a AR 15 Bushmaster ? Would this be better accuracy then an AK 47 and is there any real gain in performance ease of use ?
And, with all due respect, depending on the definition of 'long range' you might just be wrong.I would say the 7.62 x 39 round is going to perform poorly at long range reguardless of what action it's being fired out of.
How is reliability? I have read before that reliablitity was a problem with the 7.62x39/AR15 combination.My 20" ER Shaw barrelled DPMS upper gives me solid MOA performance
Depends on what you shoot. My Shaw barrel will NOT digest steel-cased ammo; I can only presume that the chamber is on the tight side of spec.How is reliability? I have read before that reliablitity was a problem with the 7.62x39/AR15 combination.

The best magazine was the horrible looking affair that USA Magazines sells. It is an AR-15 magazine shell with an AK-47 magazine attached to the bottom. It looks s-o-o cheesy but works so well!
If the follower is different, it's different underneath - they are identical from the top.IIRC the 20rnd. Colt magazines for 7.62x39 were 5.56 20 rnd. mags with a different follower.
The 7.62x39 cartridge is capable of very fine accuracy. All the B.S. about the cartridge being inaccurate is just that; complete B.S. The only reason it ever really got a bad rep. is due to the firearms chambered for it. I have a 15" T/C barrel that will clover 5 rounds all day.
Part of this issue is the lack of high quality manufacturers in this caliber bolt.I have been told that the AR in 7.62x39 tends to break bolts, but I have no personal experience other than putting a few rounds through an other person's rifle.
Wow - that's a pretty strong statement. For example, I don't know that I'd call DPMS's offerings sub-standard....However, there are plenty of sub-standard parts available.
