Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles 7.62x39 in the AR-15

here is my CBC AR 762x39
whole kit for $350? minus the stripped lower. they are having sale right now for 319 for everything but the lower.

Dammm
That is a great deal for sure.

Nice looking rig there, Dre.

Looks like a nice deal on that package.

Thank you thank you.
I think the quality is excellent for the money.
I just ordered a new 556 from them. https://www.cbcindustries.com/colle...r-15-buttstock-kit-ar-15-lower-parts-kit
My dpms tpr with 20” is little too much weight to be a fun plinking gun.
They have 300 BO for same price, but I’m sure they’d work with you if you wanted 76239

Thats not bad, I don't see normal 223 for PSA often much below 300 for basically a similar kit.

If I wasn't short one more RMR and 2 new Glock barrels I"d jump all over that.

Very nice Dre. I shot against a guy today, in an AR shoot, and he was sporting a real nice 7.62x39 AR15. Very cool rifle. His is quite accurate as well. No hiccups during today's shoot either. You'll have to let us know how well it shoots for you. My buddy says his "shoots better than he does". I believe he bought his as a package deal from model 1 sales. I guess he bought his upper for around $300.00 "on sale". Not bad for a great shooting rifle upper...

Thanks bud!
CBC has 10% off today. Code “Dad10” and free shipping.
She shoots good for the only one time I had her out to sight the scope in.
No jambs or anything using cheap ammo.
Like I said before the quality is great for the money

Did some 100 yard accuracy testing today. Tried two ammo types. Tula 124gr FMJ, and Tula 154gr SP. Both were about the same 3-4 inches at 100 yards.

Conditions were: temp 70F, winds 5-20 mph from 6 o'clock. Winds were wobbling my shooting bench a bit, those groups might be an inch or so smaller off a concrete bench or from the ground. The grass was too much for me to get on the ground though, I wouldn't have seen my target.

At this point I'm enjoying this rifle. I took it out to 600 yards on some rocks. The difference is that normally with the 308 I'd be shooting at grapefruit-size rocks at 600. With this 7.62x39 I'm shooting at rocks the size of a mini-fridge at 600...….grin

The rifle functioned 100% through about 50 rounds of 124gr FMJ. It bobbled twice going through 40 rounds of the 154gr SP. The soft lead tip looked a bit flattened as if it had slammed into the feed ramp. Going forward I'll skip the soft-point ammo.

A few pics,







I'm weighing up a permanent sight for this rig and find myself deciding on going with iron sight, maybe a fixed Troy or DD, or maybe a 3X prism optic.

I've been using a PSA model "KS-47" which is basically an AR that accepts AK magazines. The rifle shoots well, and has worked flawlessly. There are some limits about what mags it will take, but metal Combloc mags are fine, as are Magpuls. It was a lot less expensive than similar rifles such as the CMMG, or milled AK's.

Does the KS47 use a standard lower with insert or some such, or is it a dedicated lower?

It's a dedicated lower on the KS47. Looks pretty slick.

correct.

A downside is that there is no last-shot-hold-bolt-open feature. Also some aftermarket triggers (like a Timney) will not clear the mag release.

The kit I bought came with a m-lock forend and a nitrided barrel. It shoots well with good ammo and should be tough enough to tolerate mil-surp

Tex,

What ammo does it like, and can you hold an inch with 5 shots?

Gents..I know there’s a few of us here that have these and really seem to enjoy them for what they are so I’ll keep this going..
My Daytona Tactical That has so far been flawless just quit on me..
My brother was shooting it and had about 2 or 3 rounds that suddenly weren’t feeding properly.. he cleared them and pressed on. Then at the last shot the bolt got stuck tight and would not open. We were up in the hills so didn’t have many tools available and could not get it to clear. As it was an empty case in the chamber I put it away to be looked into closer at home.
As it was being packed up he noticed a broken bolt lug laying on the bench..I’ve read about that being somewhat common so assumed that was the issue and kept the piece and put the gun away.

I’ll try to explain this the best I can so bear with me..
Upon closer inspection looking at the bolt it seems the bolt did not “cam/rotate” as 3 of the bottom lugs had come straight back and embedded themselves into the feed ramp. It’s an m4 ramp and one lug had dug in either side of the ramp and one lug directly in the center..
Everything is kept pretty wet on that gun and never an issue before.
I’m not going to beat on the thing or even disassemble it as I’ve got an email in and would like to see what they say. Without having it apart it’s hard to tell what the culprit may be but just thought I’d share
Anybody want to hazard a guess? Broken Extractor maybe? Would a broken lug by itself cause the bolt to come back in such a manner? I don’t know as I don’t break too many parts.
I will definetly follow up here when I know more

Approx 1800-2000 rounds on the rifle

Broken cam pin?

That’s what I somewhat suspected.. that’s a fairly robust pin tho but anything is possible

That's interesting and good to hear about.

What buffer weight were you using?

I put the rifle azz-end on mine thinking the 5 oz rifle buffer might be a good idea, but maybe an H3 in a carbine would be about the same.

It's also got a fairly big hole in that pin and wouldn't be the first one to break.

But I'm just guessing of course, it will be interesting to see what happened.

That would be my guess too, but you would think it would take an awful lot to break it.

MM, I can’t recall off the top of my head so will pull it out and check tonight. Email sent on the 28th and no response yet...
