[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1216869, member: 229"] 7.62x39 AR setups are known for being plagued with reliability issues (partially due to mags). If you are looking at a cheap upper, then there are plenty of deals out there to be had. If I were looking at that RRA, I'd be concerned with whether or not you want M4 feedramps, a true F-marked FSB (and if not F-marked, are the ears on both sides of the front sight post are higher than the post?), a full-auto bolt carrier group (mainly for the fully shrouded firing pin), and the proper extractor spring and o-ring. Other than those things, I can't see any reason not to buy it - that's a pretty decent barrel, the upper is hard to screw-up and RRA isn't known for making out-of-spec uppers (that I'm aware of). The BCG is the most important part, but if you're a recreational shooter or hunter, I doubt you ever put enough rounds through it to damage the BCG, so you should be fine. [/QUOTE]
