7.62×39 barrels for the AR-15 platform (AR-47) — run the AK round in your AR. 4150 chrome-moly-vanadium steel with a nitride finish, 5/8×24 muzzle thread. Pair with a 7.62×39 bolt and magazines for reliable feeding.
Choosing a 7.62x39 Barrel
Barrel length and gas system
Available in carbine/mid lengths; match the gas system to barrel length as with any AR build.
Twist rate
1:10 is standard for the 7.62x39's common bullet weights.
Bolt and magazine note
7.62x39 uses a caliber-specific bolt (different case head) and 7.62x39 magazines — the tapered case feeds poorly from standard 5.56 mags. Plan your build around the correct bolt and mags.
