Doing a 7.62x39 upper build/assemble right now myself. Do not have the time to reload (I do know how) and also have an AK, so ammo is already stockpiled. Proper mags and a bolt that can take abuse is an absolute for this creature, so I've been told by people who have successfully got ones running. Thought about 300BLK, they have been saying ammo is going to be affordable ever since it came out, it still isn't (and I wasn't real impressed with accuracy, do net searches https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread...e-up-on-300blk ). With proper research and components a 762 range/hunting gun is possible. I do plan on getting a 300 down the road, because it is a cool little round with some POP, just not right now. If have time and/or $ then maybe 300BLK is for you, that's up to you to decide.
Check out Cason Engineering http://shop.casoneng.com/index.php?r...&product_id=58 from site-- •Patent Pending, optimized design for improved life expectancy
•Other manufactures take a .223 bolt and a .223 extractor and just machine away extra material to make room for the 7.62x39 cartridge, often leaving weak spots in the bolt and extractor geometry where failures can initiate
•We have re-engineered the bolt and the extractor geometry to add material where it’s needed, and trim it where it’s not
•You get an enhanced, optimized bolt and extractor that will outlast any competitor’s bolt/extractor
•Due to the redesigned geometries, our 7.62x39 bolt must be used with our 7.62x39 Extractor – they are designed to work together
•CNC machined from an ultra tough, aerospace grade stainless steel for improved life
•Dense chrome finish, Rockwell C hardness > 70, enhanced lubricity
7.62x39 AR isn't an easy one, but not an impossible one either. Again, up to you to decide. I got hooked when tried to choke out a buddies x39, it didn't and was I hooked (plus as mentioned, have a$$ load of ammo already). So I decided it might be for me. Maybe not the popular choice, but mine.
