TBF Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Instead of hijacking another thread, I started this one. The AR47 , does it work ? does it crack eventually ? ( it looks like the area around the mag is much thinner than a standard AR. ) What the heck is an AR 47 ? This question can be answered here : http://www.ar47.com/ The rest of the questions I am clueless about. Thanks in advance ! Travis F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear1142 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 TBF, Don't waste your time. The rainbow trajectory of the 7.62x39 round make it unsuitable for 3-gun competitions. Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't believe what Erik says. AR-47 is excellent choice for IPSC and 3-gun shooting I does not crack. I have shot thousands of rounds through my AR-47 For modifying AR-47 upper receiver use DPMS low profile upper. It has thickest walls for machining the magwel. Here is couple pictures of my AR-47 with different combinations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) Sako92S, I'm curious if the 7.62x39mm works in the AR platform reliable and how dirty does it get with using surplus ammo. Is your upper a side charger? Looks like a Socom mfg. upper. Edited October 5, 2005 by Mig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBF Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 Sako92S, Shweet ! I just saved the top pic as my wallpaper ! How much metal has to be removed from the upper? Could it be done at home , or will I need a milling machine ? Travis F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako92S Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 TBF You need milling machine for making those modifications required. With normal upper there is only 1mm metal left after milling the upper for magazine. Best choice is to make it with DPMS low profile upper because it has twice as thick walls as compared to normal A3 upper. Mig My rifle works excellent. I have done minor detailing to my magazines for reliable feeding. It is as reliable as my Colt Law Enforcement Carbine. Normal AR-15 cleaning methods will do fine. Yes, it's Socom Mfg side charger upper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
