7.62x39 AR Platform

Have sold quite a few of them (over 100). Get the buffer spring and weight dialed in especially in a pistol length. Keep an extra firing pin and extractor with you and have fun.
10.5" pistol = 1.75" groups @ 100yds on steel cased tula. At $0.35 per round right now the only thing I know that's cheaper to shoot is .22lr.

Oh one thing I have found out when running dirty steel cased ammo. If you get too heavy with your buffer weight it will cut down on how many rounds you can go without cleaning. As with most things it's a give and take.

I have a Model 1 11.5" upper in 7.62x39. At round #919 the face of the bolt had a lug break off by the cut for the extractor. I replaced the bolt with one from Palmetto State and have fired 470 rounds with it with no breakage so far. Other than that, no problems with feeding or function.

I use the h2 buffer with good results. May try the h3 sometime. Mags- If you have bright spots on the tops of the feed lips, sand em down a tiny bit.

** good results using the promag ar mags as well. Ymmv

In case you are interested, this is the spring that cured my light primer strikes with steel ammo.
