Just wondering models I saw were the rock river lar-47, the sig 516r, sig 556r or any others do the perform like an ak if they ban aks will I have a better chance with something that doesn't say ak47? What are your opinions
Two things I know about this rifle. One is you can correctly mount a scope to it unlike an AK47 and two it will be more accurate than an AK47. What it will not be is more durable than an AK47. I think it is an excellent platform and if I was into that caliber, I would buy that before I would buy an AK47.Just wondering models I saw were the rock river lar-47, the sig 516r, sig 556r or any others do the perform like an ak if they ban aks will I have a better chance with something that doesn't say ak47?

i thought they took pre nan ak magsmy 7.62 x 39 AR is very accurate and but finding pre ban hi cap mags is a challenge
I heard the same with the 556r but I just put up the names I knewI thought the sig556r had a lot of malfunction problems? I love this round would like to other platforms other than the AK to be dedicated to this caliber.
unfortunately not, they are available but the pre bans are the hard ones to get, someone had one on gunbroker ?? for $60i thought they took pre nan ak mags
Yea they need frankenmags (an AK-style mag pin-welded to a straight mag that fits into an AR 5.56/.223 reciever). Hard to find and unfortunately due to the taper of 7.62 cases, sometimes have a bit of trouble feeding the rough steel-cased stuff like Tula. Laquered and brass cases work fine though.unfortunately not, they are available but the pre bans are the hard ones to get, someone had one on gunbroker ?? for $60
ok i did not realize until i looked at the specs it says ak like mags.....but i just looked at the lar 47 not out yet but if we can get it its saying it accepts ak style mags.......to me pre ban mags arent the selling point performance and reliability is what i want if all i can have is a 10 round but the gun performs great thats fine so do i just buy an upper or do i buy the 516r or the lar 47 or if there others that everyone likes please addunfortunately not, they are available but the pre bans are the hard ones to get, someone had one on gunbroker ?? for $60
I'm not sure if I follow completely but I think you're asking now if you can just buy an7.62x39 upper for your .223 lower. The answer is yes, kinda.... you need the 7.62x39 upper, and bolt, you can use the .223 bolt carrier, and you will need to get 7.62x39 ar mags. You may have quite a hard time getting a 7.62x39 upper right now with all of the purchasing frenzy, but my opinion is that it is a great option, I absolutely love mine.ok i did not realize until i looked at the specs it says ak like mags.....but i just looked at the lar 47 not out yet but if we can get it its saying it accepts ak style mags.......to me pre ban mags arent the selling point performance and reliability is what i want if all i can have is a 10 round but the gun performs great thats fine so do i just buy an upper or do i buy the 516r or the lar 47 or if there others that everyone likes please add
I went to an indoor range last week and the guy wouldn't let me bring in the 500 rounds of bear ammo, because he claims they are steel core on account of a magnet sticks to the bullet. I didn't get into the fact that it is not steel core and just a bi metal jacket that attracts the magnet, instead apologized for wasting his time and walked out. So cheap ammo yes, but I am having trouble finding cheap ammo that I can shoot indoors hah.I love mine. The only down side is not being able to find prebans (as stated earlier). Accurate, plenty of stopping power for hunting for most game, and ammo is cheap enough that a good day at the range doesn't set me back all that much.
Imo. Buy one.
