Wondering how he sounds angry

[@donaldist7321]

was there a gun in the video?

[@johnallison5075]

Mmmm 🥴

[@littlecupofjoe1201]

I found his voice incredibly dull lol but good video

[@sharedpollard4407]

I got my entire bolt carrier group from Black Rifle Arms and its extractor and firing pin work flawlessly. You can buy the bolt and enhanced firing pin separately for about 70 bucks.

You guys remember when ammo was available? Good times.

[@peterchrisikos698]

Pepperidge Farms remembers

[@JR-mc4wg]

7.62x39 is still available for some not ridiculous prices.

[@angusoldwolf295]

Ammo? Whats ammo?

[@williamnicholson8133]

Can still get 7.62 cases for not too crazy of prices just have to shop around.

The Golden days

[@echodelta2172]

that thumbnail is the first x39 AR I've ever seen that looks good besides the KS-47

[@joelerk6298]

True

[@GrayWolf-745]

Many gun manufacturers that make 7.62X39 AR's use an 'enhanced' firing pin. It's a touch longer than the original. Mine came as standard equipment on my Windham Weaponry AR. Also I beef up the hammer power with a Hiperfire trigger. It has a special 7.62X39 double cam-over spring set. The hard primer problem is solved. I never had a failure after that.

[@jordanshepherd3088]

I've had 2 custom X39 AR's and loved them. The firing pin and trigger spring are definitely key items for reliable ignition of X39. Duramag makes one of the more reliable magazines I've tried.

[@FiveFlakes]

Late comment but any links for the stronger trigger spring

[@AA-yx2kf]

The nice camo paint job fixed the problem!

[@colby7625]

He learned that paint from Pat Rogers. I use it and love it.

[@bluesbondsman]

I just built a 7.62x39 and a 5.56 side charger from Bear Creek Arsenal. As of now the BCA 7.62 uppers all come with the new enhanced firing pin. A ton of fun for very little cash ! I have both ASC and Duramags , hopefully Ammo keeps coming down in price so I can prove them both out ! I have built a few rifles using BCA uppers without a single issue so... For those who don't want to invest multiple mortgage payments and still enjoy the AR platform, check them out.

[@RobertDavis-lb4gq]

Same experience for me. Very happy with them!

[@JaySubii]

Any issues so far since this comment? I want to get the 10.5" BCA 7.62x39 but I heard even with the upgrading firing pin, people are still having issues

[@justinbandy2610]

'Trash' Tula did the best. Been slinging Tula out my 2012 WASR and still have yet to have an issue

[@halfdollar86]

Yep. I like Tula x39 ammo pretty well myself.

[@williamnicholson8133]

Enhanced firing pin is a neccessity for 7.62x39

[@SpiritualHQ333]

I just put together a 7.62 side changing 10.5” pistol

[@huntergardner597]

Got mine about 4 months ago, had tons of issues with magazine feed but i fixed that with some tweaks. I definitely recommend this gun.. sucks though because most of you will never get it. After I got mine I wanted to get another and they’ve been out of stock ever since. Happy shooting!

[@Scumbagfred]

How is it so far? I just picked one up for 450 out the door well the rifle version not pistol

[@halfdollar86]

I bought a rifle version of this back in 2016-2017ish. It was surprisingly reliable. I never had a single issue out of it and was 100% reliable. I ran ASC and C products mags. At this time frame you could get ARs really cheap. The smith and Wesson M&P 15 sport 2 tanked in price and a store traded me one even for my Radical 7.62x39. I’m now considering getting another 7.62x39 AR

[@cz-bundy6896]

Ivan I have already shot 1500 rounds out of my thunder chicken. In the SW , my 300blk Ruger ranch rifle and my other 8" 300blk. Also the best thing in the world is with it on my bolt action 308. God I love this can. I'm hopeful to get a chance to by a erector 9. Thanks for all you do !!!

[@danp2866]

Zaviar firearms, a newer company, makes an awesome 7.62x39mm AR. Never had any issues. Fun and accurate

[@HangtownTactical]

Love the Rancid on the outro!

[@ssamuelt79]

Absolutely agree, but I feel like he always nails the music, at least I am a fan!

[@joesinegal8167]

Nice 7.62x38 Pistol Set Up! It Has Combat Accuracy With Steel Cased Ammo, I'll Take It All Day Long! Radical Firearms 16" 7.62x39 Uppers Are An Excellent Bargain As Well! For Proper Reliable Firing, You Need An Enhanced Firing Pin, A Extra Power Wolff Hammer Spring And C-Products Magazines! You Have Yourself A Winner! ✌️🇺🇲✌️

[@Swampytheroot]

I enjoy your presentations. As someone below mentioned, the almost therapeutic cadence and quality of your voice is a nice change as compared to many YT gun folks. I have an AR in x39 from Radical. 16". Had it probably 4 years. Still not a single issue with it. I recently picked up 12" and 7.5" uppers from PSA. Haven't shot the 12". The 7.5 is a ton of fun with a linear compensator on it. Most of my ARs are built on lowers labeled as 'PISTOL' to avoid complications with the local constabulary. SBA3 with a 16"? No sweat. Same with a shorty; "Let me see what you have there, Sir." Rifle stock with a shorty? Well, let's just not. I shoot the AR shorties in 5.56, 6.5G, 300AAC, and 7.62x39. Big fan of them! Keep up the great work!

[@Icybones000]

Glad to hear the bugs may have been fixed on it, been tossing around about purchasing one of their 7.62 but I'm alittle concerned about their BCG. I have a 10.5 556. of theirs and it runs flawlessly, hoping they have gotten better on QC with their 7.62 firearms since the last video that you posted 3yrs ago when you recieved one.

[@JEJAK5396]

I set out to build a 7.62 x 39 AR-15 after seeing a Facebook post by Sons of Liberty Gun Works telling people they didn’t want a 7.62 x 39 AR-15, here’s the problem I didn’t want one until I saw that meme 🤣 So, I built one exclusively using SOLGW components and parts except for the barrel, bolt, and muzzle device, as well as sourcing some items they normally sel, but through other sources when they were out of stock. I used a 10.5” barrel and matching bolt from Faxon and an FCD 6310 KM muzzle device. Things I learned along the way with this build were: 1: Faxon barrels QC SUCKS. I went through three barrels before I got a good one. 2: The 20 round C-Products Dura Mags are the only way to go in this caliber. The thing runs.

[@mattl1925]

I always paint mags only up to where they disappear into the mag well for this exact reason! Unless it's an ak mag, then it doesn't matter because it's already trash

[@secpac58chichi]

if you want to run a suppressor - would recommend .300 BO subsonic

[@RARufus]

I’ve used two BCA 7.62 x 39 uppers and after replacing the firing pin and spring with the enhanced versions they both run flawlessly with all ammo I’ve tried. Seems to be a common problem with AR47s. Hammer springs on AKs are quite a bit heavier than ARs.

[@thenotorioussk]

I tried that with a BCA 7.62 upper- did the buffer spring, buffer weight, hammer spring, enhanced firing pin, tried different magazines... nothing worked for me. It would only run American brass cased 7.62x39... and most of my stockpile is combloc surplus. Disassembled it and it sits in my parts boxes now. So disappointing for the price of the upper, wish it would have worked.

[@RARufus]

@@thenotorioussk That's strange. All I had to do was the enhanced firing pin and extra power hammer spring. I didn't touch the gas or buffer at all. For mags, there are some mags that don't work well. My cousin had some cheapish that didn't feed worth crap but I've had good success with Duramag and D&H mags. The D&H mags don't have an anti tilt follower but I haven't had issues so far. I've run three types of ammo in mine without issue: wolf, red army and barnaul. I've not run anything else so far.

As always, an excellent video with excellent content! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 As I watch your videos I can’t help but get the feeling that you were an NCO that we would have followed because you made us better.

[@keithbraun6753]

I built 2 16" & a 10.5 not to may problems some lite strikes on my 16" but that's it but with i built it the standard gas port hole was to small went from .089 to .12 solved my cycling issues also use a H3 buffer. I like it much cheaper than 300 BO to shoot .Also I use Uni Mags haven't had any problems and same shape as AR mags so they fit in my Mag pouches.

[@tooeasy8619]

I got there 10.5 upper in .556 to put together my first rifle a couple months ago. Great video.

[@snillzsru3323]

How’s it shooting?

[@tooeasy8619]

I have it on a Aero lower and I’m just 500 rounds in with 0 malfunction I’ll be taking it to a 500 round range day next month to really put it through it’s paces.

[@snillzsru3323]

@@tooeasy8619 awesome great to hear

[@bmxdude1337]

I love x39 such a fun caliber. If only ammo wasn’t so non existent I’d be out training every weekend

[@Fenriz1222]

I had trouble with light primer strikes when I first got mine as well but I ordered an enhanced firing pin from Black Rifle Arms for $10 and it has ran like a sewing machine since.

[@chrisdarby2233]

I've got a 10.5 rear charging version and a 16" side charging version..the 10.5 reminds me of a krinkov and the 16" side charging..a regular ak rifle...both are accurate, no problem with the internals... Got another 16" build going that will be my attempt / tribute to a Galil

[@victorslowik3786]

Greetings from Texas, just get a wasr 10, from 2012-up. You can't beat an Ak, unless your an Ak!

[@thearchitect817]

It’s an ARAK. Spray paint clumps in the release wells on mags. Those little slots fill up with sticky paint. Mask off them mags with a little extra room for smooth operations Overall your groupings average but with the cold i think it’s very good. Not a fan of budget AR’s and attempts at a hybrid ARAK even more skeptical.

[@DPhandle]

I have two of the RF 7.62x39s - one 10 and one 16. Both have run like a top since day one. Mods so far - enhanced firing pin (insurance, not required), CPD Duramags, H2 buffer (personal preference), PSA 3.5 trigger.

[@A_Son_Of_Yahuah]

Which LPVO or red dot are you using with it❓🎯🇺🇲

[@nataliedeyton6829]

Ross defense uni-mags are the best 7.62 x39 mags I have found. I have a 7.5 inch gun that’s a blast to shoot.

Hammer spring not trigger spring, and the firing pin needs to be .003 longer then factory im happy you’re running well.

Glad it’s finally working. I always like the concept of a 7.62 ar. Execution of that concept is apparently not so easy. Grey Death Adder would be proud! RIP Adder

For a budget company shooting a far from precision cartridge that's really good accuracy.

[@mebyard1]

I enjoyed! Thanks Ivan.

[@entryred]

Great video! Thank you!

[@Bill-rs1zm]

Two questions are the mags proprietary and how many rounds. You always have interesting content I really liked your 50 yard zero at 10 yards and the follow up video can you do more on zeroing a new rifle with irons.

[@BrapBang]

Those look like the C Prosucts Duramags. They’re the best available for 7.62x39 AR15 magazines.

[@angusoldwolf295]

I love the fact that you just said screw it and cut the handguard. Most people would get super cringe over that.

[@SpiritualHQ333]

Use a little maroon pad over that mags probably a little thick From the paint job

[@tap5037]

I had a Radical firearms 16" 7.62x39. Was never able to get it to run right. Literally tried everything. Buffers, springs, triger springs,cartridge triggers, bolts, many many magazines. Would never cycle more than two rounds. Sold it for 200.00 just to get rid of it. I would not recommend RF 7.62 AR platform rifles. Get an AK47 you will be much much happier.

[@robreadinger5340]

Interesting. My RF 10.5 runs fine....hit or miss I'd say. Not a good thing but luck or the draw

[@TrangHoang-uo3ig]

What buffer weight

[@scott2228]

Been toying w a 7.62x39 upper only. Bc I have way too many AR lowers and know nothing about the AK platform. 🤷‍♂️ just not sure if all the kinks are worked out.

[@colby7625]

Interested in the irons and the light.

[@echodelta2172]

think the irons are scalarworks

[@AlphaChimpEnergy]

I want one of those CMMG Mutants or whatever it’s called nowadays. I bet mags for that are pricccceey!

[@RARufus]

If you get an AR47 like this one, or a BCA, they use standard AR lowers and AR style magazines that work best if you get the dedicated 7.62x39 mags. The CMMG rifles use a special lower and standard AK mags.

[@williamnicholson8133]

7.62x39 ars are bae . I prefer them to use ak mags but if the 20rnders are reliable im game.

[@deltalight584]

It would be highly insightful to see your thoughts & comparison against this with CMMG MK47 Mutant.

[@nateb4543]

So i know there will be a lot of waste seeing as it is a rifle cartridge. That said, could you go with a barrel short enough to have it be subsonic? Like a poor mans 300blk? Im assuming not

[@Steezy.gunz_]

U have a link for that mag I’m putting together an AR that is 762x39

[@davidmacon1138]

Can you run a cmmg mk47 and check it out? See what you think since this one is x39? Enjoyed the vid, thanks and take care

[@TheThoover]

hello, can you tell me if you can install a AR15 5.56 barrel and bolt to a 7.62 barrel and bolt? I have both barrel/bolt and if it is possible, I would not have to purchase another gun thanks for the videos

[@michaelgray7355]

Link for the guard rail , sights and collapsible stock if you ca remember?

[@therifflair724]

If you were to go back, would you stick with the 10.5” or go with the 16” instead?

[@jonhurley1750]

I was thinking of building a similar rifle but with that kind of grouping I'll just stick with ak47 fir 7.62x39.

[@chillios2222]

what do you think of their (same company) 5.56 offerings, a local shop has them around 500 dollars in the 5.56, sorry also what manufacturer of the 7m x39m magazine are you using

[@HellBent069]

[@jodijensen9860]

What range did you sight it in at? With my 16 inch 7.62.39 25 yards is 200 yards. This is why I was wondering the sight in for your pistol as I have one also with a 10.5 inch barrel. I plan to use it for deer hunting and was thinking 200 yards and in.

[@justinparker7902]

Would 7.62 be good for home defense and night vision cqb ?

[@Mills141]

Needs more PWS... or you can make sure you have the right trigger, buffer, gas/setting...

[@60lbackpack52]

What buffer are you running. Mine is having issues picking up the next round.

[@GarinEtch]

Are there are any lowers that let you use AK drums with a 7.62x39 AR upper?

[@bronzeguy9839]

CMMG, Palmetto State Armory, and Billet Rifle Systems are the only ones I know of that make AR-style lowers that take AK magazines. However, the dimensions of an AK mag are different than an AR mag, so a 7.62x39 AR upper is not compatible unless you modify it to take AK mags.

[@hammadyasir9083]

Show some stats too.

[@mart2224]

This comment is in reference to your Q hat. I have a serious question for the gun industry... when they choose a hat style for their marketing materials, why are they always 75 year old man hats? I'm looking at you Q, BCM, Geissele... Can you just make a hat for someone under the age of 60? Every time I buy something from one of these companies, they give me a hat that'd just be embarrassing to wear around. So, I just end up giving them away to old people. (Note: Ivan, this is no judgement on you for wearing that hat for the sake of sponsors, but I had to do a double take because I thought you drank from the wrong grail at the end of Indiana Jones)
