Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special bolt for 7.62x39?
Yes — a 7.62x39 bolt. If the upper includes a BCG, it's the correct one; otherwise add a 7.62x39 BCG.
What magazines work with 7.62x39?
Magazines made for 7.62x39 — not standard 5.56 mags.
Do you need an FFL to buy an upper?
No. The upper isn't the serialized part, so it ships without an FFL.
