Cheap 7.62 x 39 upper needed, where would you look

[RoyalTenenbaum]

I need a 7.62x39 upper for an ar15. I am on a verrrry tight budget with almost all of my play money going to diapers and pureed goop that is supposed to be healthy. (but poop and goop are topics for another forum and another day) So if any of you have an upper and want to part with it at a giveaway rate or know of someone online that sells them cheap (but not explode in my face cheap) please let me know. It needs to be marginally accurate (sks or ak) at 100 yards but I do not need to hit pool chalks at 300 yards or anything. Just cheap to buy and cheap to feed. Rock on and thanks for the help.

dont think there is such a thing as a "cheap" 7.62x39 ar upper.Do you already have an sks or ak?

Nope, but it may be the better alternative based on the looking around I have done.

VZ2008 would fit this bill.

Less expensive than any AR upper and about the price of a low end AK.

Century can be hit or miss. Mine is definitely a hit.

I would research the AR upper alittle. I know acouple of guys that went that way and HATED the 7.62X39 upper. They said they never could get it to feedd right and overall the X39 design just doesnt fit the AR platform well.


This is not my first hand knowledge and I have never owned a x39 upper.

From what I understand, it's all in the magazine from a few people who own them. However, I welcome horror stories. No sense in getting an upper that will let me down.

I fought and fought with mine. Even ran down the expensive and hard to find c products mags. Only 30 caliber cartridge that works in an ar is going to be 300 blackout.

As you're finding out, might be better to pick up an SKS rather than an AR upper.

Plus... new gun! Woo hoo!

Cheap 7.62 x 39 upper .com LOL


I honestly don't think a Cheap is out there good luck with search

Yeah, when you're on a budget, cheap is tempting, but I've found it's often more expensive after you've bought two or three cheap ones trying to save a few shekels. SKS. You can get 30rd mags and pimp it out, but it has that little slot over the mag you slide a stripper in, and reload instantly.

 

[gunowner930]

Whats cheap? Like others have said, you could pick up a SKS or even an AK for what you would pay for the upper.

I have a Norinco SKS with the 10rnd box I would consider selling. I have a price in mind but not sure it meets your "give away"? Let me know and maybe we can work it out.
