Choosing the Best 7.62x39mm AR-15 Upper for You

It’s important to ask yourself why you would want a 7.62x39mm round for the AR-15.

The point is the 7.62x39mm round can be just as powerful from an AR as it can be from an AK platform.

Developed as an iconic round since World War II, the standard Soviet-issue AK-47 rifle has vastly different contours and ergonomics, so it’s obvious why AR enthusiasts would pick an AR15 7.62×39 upper to experience the powerful round.

On the other hand, the AR-15 is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO which is a very common round to find. Keep in mind that the 7.62×39 is more expensive and hard to find than a .223/5.56 NATO round.
