  1. The Enhanced Firing Pin is a Must Have for 7.62×39 ARs if you will be shooting Steel Cased (Hard Military Primer) ammo. Try a Red-X Enhanced Firing Pin for only $10 to your door.

  2. You still got the bolt carrier up for grabs? Btw, you can pick up a 6.5 grendel barrel for like $80 + it'll run the 7.62 magazine & should run the same bolt as well (6.5g uses 7.62×39 parent case) but u can upgrade to the type2 6.5 bolt if u wish.

  3. Ar stoner Magazines are the best ones you can get even tho some of the reviews are shitty but ive had two 30 rounders for about 7 months an (Knock on wood) havent had a issue yet. Little tip with the mags spray some gun lube under the Sitting plate in the Magazine so the spring an plate slide easier because when i first got mine they were stiff.

  4. Try bobbing the hammer. If you take the tail off of it you reduce the weight of the hammer itself and the lighter spring can get it moving faster. Also donโ€™t dry fire the rifle with the upper off of it youโ€™ll destroy your lower dude.

  5. Got my BCA 7.62×39 for $399 a few months back. Did a ton of work to it and it's my go to hunting rifle sub moa 100yds benchrest.
    Green Mountain 16" barrel
    Guntec Keymod FF rail w/adjustable gas block
    A2 flash hider (works amazing compared to my yhm phantom on my WASR so why change it)
    Failzero BCG & CH
    Black rifle arms Extended firing pin and xp hammer spring
    Failzero Buffer tube and FCG
    Trs-25 with vortex magnifier.
    I had no issues with light primer strikes until i swapped the trigger out then the firing pin and spring swap helped immensely now the hammer drops like an ak and the firing pin sticks out like my SKS. Black rifle arms is one of the very few manufacturers that actually extend the pin unlike most that radius a 5.56 one. 1500rds in about 300 after upgrade no issues since.

  6. Nice build. Just finished mine. Enhanced firing pin is highly recommended. Extra power spring will help but not always needed. I got them for the extra insurance. Also, you can run the nickel boron carrier and swap the bolts if you wanted too. Looking forward to more updates. Nice build. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ

  7. Advise you need to get and enhanced Bolt carrier group especially if your shooting steel cased ammunition with the harder primers, The AR stoner mags work great thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m using they feed very reliable but again the bolt carrier group is critical, I love mine enjoy it and have fun

  8. May I suggest that you look at the Hipertouch triggers (24 series) that offers a $6.00 7.62×39 spring kit upgrade that ensures no light strikes and maintains a 3.5 lb trigger pull ? Just a thought, but looks like what I'll use on my upcoming build. ๐Ÿ™‚ As to primer seating depth, that's not the difference causing the light strikes. The steel cased ammo with their mil spec primer has a greater distance between the anvil and striker within the primer cup. If you reload, it's always safer to have the outer surface of the rimer slightly below the level of the rear of the case. ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Nice video I'm doing a 7.62 build also just waiting on a few more items . I was wondering did you try the enhanced firing pin I've heard its needed sometimes to fire cheap steel case ammo aka TULA looking forward to more updates
