You're in luck going to do some safe cleaning this weekend and a few of mine will be hopefully finding new homes.

They didn't put a piston in there? What kind of buffer does this thing need?

If anyone is actually interested in these let me know and I'll call RRA, I have an account with them.

$1200 and $1475

Way too much.

If they would make it in 5.45 and it took 74 mags I'd probably be all over it :)

If you are able to hold on to some, or delay the safe cleaning a few months, then I might be in luck... I have been on a gun purchasing splurge recently and need to slow down a bit.

Bet they make a 74 version before to long. Also those are the retail prices they will be a lot less than that.

If I am going to shoot 7.62x39, I am going to pull out the AK-47, which is by far the best weapon system for this cartridge.

If I am going to shoot a subsonic AR-15 SBR, I am going to use 300 Blackout or possibly 9mm.

I don't see a lot of usefulness with an AR-15 chambered in 7.62x39; personally, I would rather cut down the 5.56 brass and use a non-tapered cartridge in this weapon system with the correct dimensions on the bolt carrier. I think it also comes down to the availability of re-loadable brass. In the last five years, I picked up over 4 five gallon buckets of free 5.56 and 223 brass. In that same time, I picked up one 30 cal ammo can of re-loadable 7.62x39 brass.

You guys can't seriously want this thing in your safes, right? This sits right up there with Mossberg's chainsaw grip and 12ga muzzle break.
It's the worst of both platforms rolled into one.

And sales will have them back ordered until late august. The closer to november the less you will actually see them on a dealers shelf.

I agree for the price having owned an AR in com-bloc caliber years ago, stick with an AK.
