But how easy is it to convert a 7.62x39 AR to .223/9mm/etc? what about the other way around?
The reason I ask, is because I currently have an SKS, which (obviously) takes 7.62x39. I keep trying to decide between an AK and an AR for my "main" rifle. I can't do both, because I barely have the resources to shoot the calibers I already have, and adding another caliber isn't an option right now. I love that the AR is so modular, and would allow me to utilize other calibers with just a swap-out of the upper. I wonder if there's a way to keep the little bit of 7.62x39 I have, and use it in an AR, so I don't have to go the AK route. The versatility of an AR is a HUGE plus for me, but I just don't know enough about them to know if the ability to switch between .223 and 7.62x39 is doable or not.
Any advice/ideas/suggestions? I can definetly afford a new upper or two for the different calibers I may shoot much easier than maintaining/justifying having dedicated rifles in each of the two main calibers.
Thanks!
