Nope but I sold one a couple of months ago.
MGI AR 15 Package - Semi Auto Rifles at GunBroker.com : 915860148
Magazine sensitive.
Had a palmeto arms carbine and an Anderson pistol Both loud. I have a Ruger American bolt carbine now
Had a mini 14 in that caliber, had to be inside the barn with doors shut to even hit the barn.
Yep, and when you find one that works, they will empty as fast as you can pull the trigger.
Had one rebarreled it to 300 Hamr and changed the bolt. A little better ballistics and no more feeding problems
Yeah, what is your question?
I had a PSA that worked perfectly and was very accurate.I am just not an AR guy and sold it and bought a Ruger bolt gun in 7.62x39.
No question Mobuck other than opinions of owners. Maybe I should have added a bit to my original post. I didn't mean for this to be a yes or no question.
i have several. a PSA M4 carbine style, a Bear Creek Arsenal with side discharge. in both i have installed an enhanced firing pin. on the BCA its standard for 7.62x39. i use caliber specific mags. on the Bear Creek i have a 2-7 Burris high mount rings. the PSA has a 3x red/green dot with 3/4 inch riser. very happy with operation. i only shoot brass case Belom[a company owned by Privi Partisan] i could shoot steel with the enhanced pin but i find the Belom brass is much cleaner.
I have one, Anderson lower, probably Anderson upper, never bothered to look. Used and abused, never cleaned, never any problems using miscellaneous 20 & 30 round mags and a variety of commie steel ammo. Set up now with a strong light for coyotes, armadillo etc. and some cheap illuminated reticle scope. Got it dialed in and holding zero, happy jack.
Thanks for the comments guys. I have a guy not far from me that has one for sale. Indiana is face-to-face legal transaction state. If he has a IN carry permit, I good with that. I do have a LEO that can run a s/n check. Thanks again guys.
A quick mental check says I have 4 or 5x 7.62x39 AR's. One is a 10.5" pistol upper that is far more accurate than expected. The others are scoped 16" barrels with carbine gas and vary from 1.5 to 3 MOA when shooting Hornady SST hunting ammo. Using the typical steel cased Euro ammo is a frustrating experience as one batch can be great and the next not so much. I did lay in a case of BELOM but haven't fired any yet--figured sooner or later I'd need more reloadable brass.
I use Thermold and C-products 7.62 magazines but have even got by using Thermold .223 mags by loading 8-9 rounds in a 20 round mag.
