Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and learning more about the AR platform every day. Great forum you have here and I'm glad to have found you guys n Gals.
Got a few questions and hope you can excuse my lack of knowledge but I'm learning.
I would like to know who makes a good 7.62x39 upper and what issues will be needed to address any problems, like do I need to change out the buffer & spring in the lower with this caliber etc..? What magazines are dependable?
Also looking for a good quality .22 caliber upper with the same questions as above.
When changing out the Bolt and or the complete bolt carrier group, isn't it necessary to check for headspace each time? I've read differing opinions that it's not necessary all the time.
I'm not new to firearms, just the AR platform. Thanks to my sweet wife I had an early Christmas with a Bushmaster M4A3, a Yugo AK and a Ruger P345 and she has a slew of stuff I haven't or can't open until Christmas. She wanted me to find a hobby to enjoy and I'm getting hooked on the AR. With two range outings and just about 500 rounds through the Bushmaster, I know that's not a lot but I had to break in the others too, I'm very happy so far.
Next year I'm looking into a POF lower and go from there, nothing fancy, I like KISS when it comes to firearms and Harley's.
Robert
