    I have a complete AR lower, stripped upper, 556 BCG.

    Please, give me the list of parts I need to get.

    N. Side of Indy
    7.62x39 BCG
    7.62x39 barrel
    .750 (probably) gas block
    gas tube
    hand guard
    5/8x24 muzzle device
    barrel nut
    forward assist/dust cover hardware
    charging handle
    ASC 7.62x39 AR mags (the most reliable IMO)
    optics or iron sights

    I think that is most of it, though I may have forgotten something.

    I built a 7.62x39 10.5" upper for my SBR lower. It is FUN to shoot. However, the more I own it and the more AKs I own, the more of a purist I become. ARs are for 5.56 and AKs are for 7.62x39

    The 5.56 bcg works with a 7.62 bolt. Need a bolt and firing pin. Most likely will need a wolf trigger spring for the harder primers. Normal gas tube. Need your barrel (buy one with gas block already pinned on) then whatever hand guard you want.

    I built my X39 AR using a standard Anderson LPK.
    I probably have close to 1k rounds through it without a single light primer strike.
