Here's a question for you, how do you make the AR-47 lower work?
Once upon a time I bought an upper chambered in 7.62x39. I eagerly attached it to a standard AR lower. The standard AR-15 lower would not make the system work, the 7.62x39 AR-15 magazines are frauds, they will not hold more than 5 rounds and will not feed properly. It was basically a single shot weapon, or at best a two shot semi. I tried both magazine brands "claiming" to be for 7.62x39.
After a while, I got tired of seeing this weapon hanging on the wall, and the case of 1800 hungarian steel core rounds collecting dust. I found an AR-47 lower on gunbroker. When it came in I giddily switched lowers and tried to fit an AK magazine to it. Guess what...
It doesn't fit in the rifle. The sides of the AR-15 upper are too thick, and will not allow the magazines to fit in. I grabbed an old, beat up magazine and went to work on the grinder. After it had barely any feed lips left, I tried to fit it back in. Guess what...
It doesn't fit the rifle. The magazine will fit in the lower if you have it detached from the upper, but once you try to swing the upper closed on the AR-47 lower, it now hits the bolt. The bolt profile for the standard ar-15 bolt carrier will not fit it!
The rifle is hanging on the wall again, and the rounds are still collecting dust...
Now what? How do I make this turd work?
