7.62x39 Ar Mags myth debunked

[wilit]

I use C-products 10 rounders. Load 10 rounds in, all 10 rounds feed into the rifle fine. Never had an issue with them. I've got 4 and they all work flawlessly.

and getting ar mags for the 7.62x39 is almost impossible now. Nowhere sells them. They are all on backorder. But the 7.62x39 AR is amazing to shoot. Alot more fun than the .223 in my opinion. Its the fun of an AK with the accuracy of the AR. So far my Custom upper has had no problems. All rounds fired and ejected. and I am using the complete NFA gen 2 polymer lower. If youre thinking about building or getting a 7.62x39 AR I say go for it!

ASC has them in stock, and I just a couple weeks ago got 2 30 round kits from 44mag, which arrived a couple days ago (quick considering)...

6.8spc, 5.45x39, and 7.62x39mm magazine have reduced depth rear ribs (two typ.) that allow fatter diameter cases to seat further apart and keep cartridges in the mag and not pop out during cycling.

Follower swaps in 5.56/.223 mags do not solve feeding problems with 6.8spc, 5.45x39, and 7.62x39mm ammo though some may work inconsistently.

I have 2 ASC and 2 C-products (same company) mags. and have never had an issue with them. All four hold 10rds. They feed flawlessly, and have always fired wolf ammo. Spikes lower, YHM upper with a Colt 16" barrel.

Same here. I bought four ASC 10 round mags made for the 7.62 X39 cartridge and they feed perfectly. Minor issue they have is sometimes they only want to hold 9 depending on how the cases feed as they are squished down. If I carefully insert them, it'll hold ten. If I'm in a hurry, they sometimes don't want to accept the 10th. The feed lips are definitely different than a standard AR mag when viewed next to one another.

The upper is a Bushmaster and it works great. Occasional failure to fire on the hard primers but a Wolf extra heavy hammer spring seems to have fixed most (though not all) of that. I'm awaiting a long backordered "enhanced firing pin", which should eliminate it all together.

At the moment, it's my favorite AR to shoot.

The Bushy upper has modified feed ramps that they claim help to feed the cartridge and prevent feed ramp hang ups. Not sure they are entirely needed but I have yet to have a failure to feed.

I just got a YHM 7.62 upper from "Pinoy916" and use ASC mags. The thing is a joy to shoot, will shoot brass, Tula, Wolf no issues.

...at a recent carbine class, it was leaving big holes that were the envy of the 5.56 guys.
