Thread: Ar15 7.62x39

having just assembled my second upper it has got me thinking about different bullets that can run thru the little ar package.

7.62x39 is a sitter due to the cheep bullets, cases and general 7.62x39 hunting bullets

what is required to make this swap? a barrel and bolt face?
will standard 223 mags run the taper of this case?
can I cheeply get a 308 barrel and have a barrel extention fitted?


where can I source a Barrel, Bolt head and mags from if needed?
Iv got the tool to replace barrels which is piece of piss easy.

is there a better option?
300blk?
6.5 something, x39 grendel ect
7mmx39?

Is the cost of having a barrel extention fitted and the barrel chambered, gas block hole drilled, worth it?
Iv got a 7mm barrel off a 7mm08 rem 700 that would be great to use
