AR15 for 7.62x39

[BigBear]

Does anyone make an AR upper for 7.62x39 or is it just a better idea to have an AK/SKS and an AR-15 seperate... I was just thinking about plinking ammo and 7.62x39 seems to be cheaper, et al and etc.

Build an ak

Actually I've seen 7.62x39 uppers can't remeber who sells em though google or check shotgun news ads. Also for cheap plinking maybe look into a 5.45x39 upper, even cheaper than 7.62 soviet ammo wise and I've seen uppers for sale in that nice russian chambering as well, hope that helps

I thought that someone would have answered this for you already Bear, sorry. I too have heard of 7.62 AR uppers before.

Oh by the way I'm 99% sure dpms sells 7.62x39 uppers, those might have been the ones I saw on rguns

Del-Ton, Olympic, Bushmaster, YHM, DPMS

Midway lists Olympic and Bushmaster.

Those are only the people I had in my favorites list from when I looked a couple weeks ago.

I guess the better question I'm trying unsucessfully to ask is:

Should one get both an AK and an AR or just get multiple caliber uppers for the AR platform?

or... who really cares, get what you want, etc, et al.

Man, if you want cheaper ammo - build ar in 5.45 - it cost half of what any 5.56 or 7.62..
