Really doubt the AR's extractor is gonna hold that up well after 500 rounds of steel cased ammo or it's firing pin would reach the surplus ammo's indented primer. To be reliable you would probably want to go with some Remington or Winchester brass cased 7.62x39 ammo... which in the end will almost be as much as feeding a .308. Personally I'd stick with the .223/5.56 chambering.
I remember having a 1989-'90 Colt firearms catalog and the AR-15 "sporter" model in 7.62mmx39 was available for purchase(reminds me of the Ruger mini-14 and the Ruger mini "30" in 7.62mmx39).
@cavedweller1996 Why do you ask? Is it not part of our American freedom to own which ever firearm we like? Is that freedom that makes us so different from every other country and that makes them respect us and think twice before getting in our buisness a bad thing?
No there is no difference in AR 15 lowers. Some may say Caliber: 5.56 or Multi or 7.62x39 or possibly custom engraved. There are lots of calibers offered in the AR 15 platform. .22, 9mm, .223/5.56, 5.45x39, .300 Fireball, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39, 6.8SPC, .50 Beowulf. Also there are muzzel loader uppers and heavy caliber bolt action uppers available as well ( .338 Lapua, .416 Barrett, .50 Barrett). To my knowledge all of these calibers can be handled by the standard AR 15 lower.
@douche1234ful yup a lot of people here "7.62" and think its all the same. big dif from 39 to the 51,54. personally id prefer 545 or 556 to the 762x39
@worldtravel101 I prefer 5.45 personally, It is the best of both worlds to me. The ammo is dirt cheap too. I would like to add one of the new AKs chambered in 7.62X54R though. That sounds intense.
Is there any truth to this, I mean can a bullet by the shape and weight be inaccurate, or is it because the AK's barrel is only 16. IN other words, if you shot a 7.62X39 out of a 22 inch barrel, it wouldn't shoot more accurately? What is the deal, is it the charge, the weight +the charge that makes it inaccurate, what? I can hit a head size target out to 200 with my AK, that is good, right?
i love ak's but hate people who wanna lie to themselves and say the 7.62 is accurate, its an overly penetrating, rainbow shooting, shitty sound like the 30-30
if you wanna shoot derka muhammaed jihad style through a cement wall up to 200 its great but its not accurate
maybe the x51 or the x54 but not the x39
the 5.45x45 is where its at for accuracy and consistant ballistics from any size barrel
@worldtravel101 definitely, i think .30 rounds are amazing as long as its a big cartridge to push it hard enough to get it a flatter trajectory, which is not the case for the x39
i allready got some AKs. dont need a AR that shoots 7.62. i wouldnt mind trying the .308 chambered AR. i wonder if direct impingement works well chambering rounds that big.
@ironhaas503 That's what the system was originally designed for, going back to the original Armalite AR-10 that competed against the M14 for a military contract. It had some problems, and was eventually refined into the AR-15.
point·less /ˈpɔɪntlɪs/ Show Spelled[point-lis] –adjective 1. without a point: a pointless pen. 2. blunt, as an instrument. 3. without force, meaning, or relevance: a pointless remark. 4. without a point scored, as in a game: a pointless inning. It was still a good review though.
I'm curious as to how it feeds...being that the taper on the 762x38 is much more extreme than that of a 556nato...I've that due to the more straightline magazine well design of the AR15...it presents a huge challenge to get these to feed reliably because a round ak style magazine couldnt fit the magwell...
@bulbinking I didnt say AK's are not accurate. I asked if shooting the AK ammo through an AR platform is "more" accurate than the AK. I owned an AK and love them (and I miss mine. shouldnt have sold it lol) But I didnt like the short sight radius and the WWII style ladder sights which took alot of time and practice to get accurate with. They ARE accurate enough for battle but my AR is hands down easier to put down tighter groups at 200 yards, standing, off hand, with irons only.
Not really, it's only 21 for handguns, it's 18 for long guns. But I guess that's better than nothing. And believe me, lots of us Yanks mourn for you, the Aussies, etc. We must all stand together. Nothing was worse than seeing all of those beautiful firearms being crushed and destroyed.
@XvChriisvX I like the AR15 better then the Ak74 one but the 5.45 and 5.56 round is too similar to me imo. So I'd probably stick with the larger round.
@XvChriisvX I would rather have a 7.62x39. Bigger bullet, able to bigger game with it. I am not shooting anything at 200+ yards so ballistics and bullet drop are negligible. That said, if I just wanted a cheap shooter I would get a .22 upper.
@Failcard oh man, i love the AR-10, the non hunting one, the battle one from like, the 60's / 70's idk but i saw a vid of eugene stoner shooting one from a beach and it went through a bunch of torture tests, it was awesome!
@Failcard oh, im not fore sure but it was w/e he had, it had pictures and it was in a display case and everything and they wanted a bunch of money for it
what is the average price for that?
