    I got a cheap BCA upper for 190 shipped
    I’ve put about 200-300 of silver bear soft points thru it and no malfs yet. I’d say it is about 4-5 moa.

    It’s for hunting pigs in brush with shots much less than 50 yards.

    It’s not meant for home use but could in a pinch

    Where'd you get the 7.62x39 dust cover?

    After shooting Russian .223 in an unlined carbon steel barrel and seeing it corrode rapidly and seeing a 3 gun shooter have the same issue with a 7.62×39 upper, I would vote for chrome or nitride on as many internal surfaces as possible.

    I got it from ManVentureOutpost back in 2016. I don't see it listed on their website anymore, but as others have said, there are other sources now. Back then it was harder to find it engraved on both sides.

    What are the specs on the PSA barrel? On the website it really just says 4150. Is it parkerized? Melonite? Unfinished internally?

    I’m concerned about purchasing any barrel that hasn’t been at least QPQ’ed or chrome lined due to steel 7.62 ammo.

    Windham and Ghost seem to fit those specs but there isn’t much out there on Ghost. They seem to be a builder and again not much detail on specs, nor warranty, nor a large sample of people who use their stuff. They’re less than half price of Windham, but I’m wary about playing Russian Roulette.

    Mine had the melonite finish. 1/10 twist, heavy profile behind the FSB. I tried to slug the bore with a 00 Buck pellet. Seems to be around .309" best I can tell. It shoots .308" handloads under 2 moa (Hornady 155gr ELD-M, 2140 fps)

    I only shoot the Wolf steel-cased ammo, just to clarify, the projectile is FMJ, copper jacketed. I use 7.62x39 barrels from KAK, Faxon, Anderson Mfg, and BCA. mostly melonited (i.e. QPQ, nitrided) 4150 CMV. no issues, barrel bore still looks as good as day 1. I like the KAK's and the Faxon's, although the Anderson and BCA, while not as pretty, shoot just as good. Again, only shooting the Wolf steel case. My only reason for getting into 7.62x39 is cheap 30-cal boolitts. The "fun factor".
