[QUOTE="Marine_Grunt_0311, post: 3831297, member: 51213"] I have built two X39 AR's using Bear Creek barrels and upper receiver assembly. 10.5" in an Anderson mfg upper pistol length gas system with adjustable gas block, after honing the chamber to a high polish ,lightening the buffer spring and buffer and installing the enhanced firing pin as well as purchasing a boat load of C mags ( neither likes ASC) the pistol purrs. As for the 16" carbine I used Bear Creeks complete 7.62x39 left side charge upper and with the exception of honing the chamber and adopting C mags it runs smoothly and reliably with no more than minor tweaks. In general I enjoy shooting the 7.62x39 on the AR platform and built these two firearms in succession with an AR 10 and two SR 25's ,a 10.5" 5.56 pistol a 20" AR15,an M4 carbine in 16" mid gas. All perform well and are purpose built to fulfill varying tasks, but as stated by other respondents it is fun to be able to afford and find ammunition to send down range and the readily available 7.62X39 fills that bill vary well [/QUOTE]
