AR that Accepts AK Magazines?

[35 Whelen]

I recently picked up a couple of AK's "just to have". The two things I like about the AK are the larger caliber (7.62x39) and the fact that the magazines can be found just about anywhere. But that's about it. Their accuracy while acceptable, is nowhere near to the AR's I own. To that end...

Who all makes an AR that accepts AK magazines? I know there are some hybrids being produced out there and I did a cursory search, but didn't turn up much.

Thanks,

If you aren't using quality ammo, an AR in 7.62x39 isn't gonna be any more accurate than an AK

I handload 7.62x39.

Doesn't match my experience. Wolf 7.62x39 is solid 2 moa ammo in all my 7.62x39 ARs and SIG 556R. I'm not sure any of my AKs can consistently do better than 4 moa with any ammo.

Actually I've pretty good luck as well with my 20" Saiga. It pretty regularly groups around 6" at 200 yds. with Golden Tiger, not bad considering the tangent sights and my over 50 eyes.

I've hunted Texas deer and hog with a 7.62x39 AR for more than a decade, and most any AR that I built would shoot MOA with my basic handloads. Some folk have issue with the magazines in a 7.62x39 AR, but I've had mostly good luck.

Recently, I have built a PSA KS-47 and it's a hoot. It's got all of the advantages of the AR and it takes my AK magazines without issue.

This has been my experience. Any random handload I've created for the 7.62X39 beats factory Wolf or SilverBear loads by at least 2" at 100 yards.

yes I feel the mutant is much better being it does not use a hogged out 223 bolt which has barely enough for the 223 round. I know I know you can shoot it under water 35K round without cleaning or jamming in 223
