    I have one. Make sure you buy CProduct mags, they're the only regular production ones I've used that work. I have a "Frankenmag" or two - AR top part welded to an AK lower part - and it works fine, but it's a put together version.

    I put a J-Tac AK 47 pistol brake on mine, the AK pistol brake has the correct threading (1/2X28 TPI)for an AR rifle, reduces climb alot.

    Other than that it's just like a regular old 5.56 AR.

    I have heard that the bolts are not the most durable since material is machines off to accommodate the larger round. Soem complain they eventually crack.
