Anybody have a 7.62 X 39 AR?

Yes get the Palmetto State Armory(PSA) version...I have the 1st GEN KS47 and it runs flawlessly with a T2 Heavy Buffer using the 8.5" barrel and pistol stock.  The KS47's HUGE advantage over an AR in 7.62x39 is that it runs on AK mags while still using the DI system of the AR so it actually shoots way softer than an AK47.  I love mine and out to 200yds its steel plate accurate with a  red dot.  They actually have a GEN2 or 3 out now which is supposed to be quite improved over my GEN 1.

Did, years ago. Hated it. Mags are expensive did not feed reliably, light primer strikes and actually sheered a lug off the bolt somehow. I decided to leave 7.62X39 to AK style guns.

Was yours one that used a standard AR lower and fed from those AR-AK mashup magazines? Those seem less practical than the newer ones that use standard AK mags in a lower that's non-standard.

Mine was not the hybrid model. Standard AR that took mags designed for the 7.62X39 round. If I wanted to get an AR that shot 7.62 I would go with one of the newer hybrids that is designed to shoot AK mags. Make sure they have a wider firing pin, 7.62 has a harder primer and sometimes the small AR firing pin does not set them off.
