AR in x39?

[DarkJoker33]

One thing I have noticed is because of the fact that customer service is dwindling in this industry people really appreciate it. One of the reasons why High Point stays in business probably the only reason is because they honor their warranty and they repair their s***. The skinflints who buy their stuff jerk off over that big time. The guns are rough trash but they stand behind the product and want the customer to have a working gun. BCA probably has similar philosophy.

Doesn't stop me from wanting a yeet cannon

Got the new NiB-X bolt from WMD Guns today. Pretty slick. Good to have a spare.
Says “Case hardened 9310, shot peened, magnetic particle inspected, with high-performance extractor, ejector springs, gas rings and special O-ring buffer.”

Not sure what the extractor is made from.

you need to install that to see if you can destroy it or not

I was trying to decide if I should continue running the BCA with the upgraded extractor or start running this shiny new bolt….hmmm

so, now you have no excuse for not building a 6.5 grendel upper. just make sure to get a right version for that bolt.

Lol no way. I’m not getting into another caliber to reload.

I just picked up one of those as well.
Different caliber though.

Yep. Just gotta snag a barrel within the next month or so.

andrew1220 doesnt strike me as a hipster type, though.

Ran 120 rounds through it this afternoon without any issues. I ran it with the H3 buffer instead of the spikes tactical T2 buffer. I think I’ll stick with the H3. Cases land 3-3:30
Gotta love the short barrel

Was enjoying the range to myself today until I started getting malfunctions. I noticed there wasn’t much tension on the extractor. Took it apart and realized I didn’t install the extractor o ring. Oops

 

[DW357]

I’ve also come to realize that I need to get a sling to steady my offhand shooting. I swap this one lower with three different uppers so I’ve been holding off on getting a sling but I really need to

With a qd mount on the upper its quick, don't have to touch the sling on the lower when swapping between them

The magpul slings aren't bad for the money.

Thanks. I’m a noob when it comes to AR slings.
All of my uppers have MLOK handguards. The stock is just a basic magpul MOE.

So for each of the uppers I just need one of these?

And for the buttstock, one of these

I actually like using the slot on the stock, and use the QD on the handguard. I usually just leave the slings on the lowers.

Yeah both of those are good, I like the magpul mounts. Depending on the sling you may need the other end on the sling too.

I'd recommend blue force gear with magpul swivel disconnects

ETA: I've been meaning to do a review of these three, between magpul, vtac, and BFG vickers, the BFG was my favorite

 

[steve8140]

I use either those same Magpul mounts or the same thing made by BCM. They can normally be found for $14-22.

For slings I find the Blue Force Gear Vickers is awesome. Padded or not padded is your choice.

 

[SKumar]

The magpul slings aren't bad for the money.

I tried to cheapo slings because I thought how sophisticated could a sling be. Can't get them to slide smoothly, plus no grip on the adjusting loop. The magpul MS4 is perfect. Makes you want to be proficient at using slings.

Slings are another deep whole until you find what works well.

Well thanks for all of the recommendations. Got the BFG sling, BCM and IWC QD mounts. Hopefully get to the range this afternoon if it warms up.

to go along with that - there are many good videos on the topic, here is one of them.
your front sling mount imho is a bit too far toward gun center to be able to wrap sling around your wrist comfortably.

Good call. All my other rifles (AK, Garand, 1903, K31, M1 carbine, lever guns) all have the sling mounted at the very end which allows for a tight hold. I’ll have to play around with this one to see how I like it. And make sure the QD mount doesn’t get in the way of my grip on the handguard

 

[DW357]

If it doesn't set off the Tula or Wolf then it will never set off the golden tiger. That was the problem I had but my hammer spring was just strong enough with the regular firing pin to set off tula/wolf/red army. So I save the GT for the AK & SKS

Kicking myself for not testing this sooner. I finally shot some of the golden tiger today and it was basically a 90% failure to fire rate. The rise armament trigger has the extra power hammer spring installed and I have an enhanced firing pin installed that Bear Creek sent me. Not sure if I should try that bubba’d firing pin that I messed around with the tail stop
Probably a sure way to get pierced primers

 

[DW357]

Well I still had light strikes today at the range so I filed off another ~0.01"

So I pulled a couple bullets and fired just the case/primer in my basement lol. Wife and dog loved that

They both went off so I guess I’ll just need to test some loaded rounds at the range to be sure.

Left one looks hit quite deep.

Possibly. The true test will be to fire loaded rounds and see.
If this does work and doesn’t end up piercing primers I’ll have to put a note somewhere reminding me which firing pin I have in it. For when I’m shooting Tula/Wolf

Was looking at grabbing a Windham Weaponry AR upper in 7.62x39 and figured there would be a thread on NES already on the topic.

I have nothing that shoots 762x39 and was feeling like a failure of a human as a result. Figured the AR platform would be the way to go. I’m not paying these prices for an AK in MA.
