What's y'all opinion on a 7.62x39 AR? Tossing the idea around of getting on built.

dont

They are notoriously unreliable. Most of it has to do with the case taper, but also harder primers and thin bolt walls. Given the prices are nearly identical, if not cheaper in favor of the AK47, it boggles my mind people still want to attempt the x39 AR. It literally has no advantage over the AK platform for that round and they are known to be problematic.

ETA: Money is not a factor but if I wanted to spend $4k I'd just buy an HK and be done with it

What if I told you that a smartly spent $4k would be twice the weapon an H&K would be at that price?

So where should I be prioritizing things if I built a top of the line AR?

Prop will be much more detailed, I'll wager, but:

Barrel

Trigger

Optics

Those are the places to spend money - everything else is just structure to connect those three key components, essentially (plus the 4th key component - the shooter).

Got some of Dems already. Looking for something new

Go with a 9mm AR or a MPX/Scorpion

9mm SBRs are the tits

Or a Brugger & Thomet APC9.

I know there is better than an HK it was just an example

I'm open to pretty much everything except the color. It will be in FDE.

I already have the stock, trigger, and pistol grip.

- Magpul UBR Stock 7-Position Collapsible
- Magpul MOE Plus Pistol Grip
- Geissele Super Tricon Trigger

Will order noveske n4 gen 3 lower once I can find it in stock.

The the completed upper components are my main questions remaining

That's my plan if I can get the guy to cerakote it
