If you don’t have an enhanced firing pin, that’s a must for an AR in 7.62x39. And will usually eliminate any light strike issues with imported steel ammo. I think they’re like $8 from places like PSA. I’ve not had an issue using a std. single stage fire control group and std. weight hammer spring wi...

For off the shelf factory loads, I’ve not found any mag that won’t run .300bo. Most of mine are E-Landers, Lancers & D&H. But I’ve also run Okay, CPD, Fab Defense, and ASC. If your reloading your own and messing around with shorter bullets or longer OAL then .300bo specific mags may be a goo...

You’re gonna have to either lighten the rifle buffer or go with a lighter spring, maybe both. I’d start with a lighter Springco spring. The rifle buffer is 5 oz., same weight as an H3 carbine buffer. Std. carbine buffer is 3oz. But I’ve not seen a lighter rifle buffer. Or a cheap solution would be t...

Can’t comment on dwell time or velocity but I’ve had an LMT enhanced 7.62x39 bolt for about 8 years now and I bought it cause 7.62x39 bolts are notorious for shearing sooner than 5.56 bolts and LMT had the best rep for durability among 7.62x39 bolts. IMHO LMT bolts are hands down the best quality. G...

I’ve tried Armscor in several pistol, rifle & rimfire calibers with poor results. Just not consistent. I wonder if they make all their ammo or if it’s coming from other makers and they’re rebranding. For the cheapest decent range ammo I stock up on Magtec 125 gr. No issues out of two ARs, a Mini...

If you’re looking for a 15 round low profile mag, E-Lander makes one. I just picked up a RAR .300bo that takes AR mags and while it runs all my mags just fine, I wanted some low profile mags so I tried an E-Lander 10 & 15 round mag. Not .300bo specific but I’ve had good luck with E-Landers runni...

My philosophy is for a budget build, buy complete. Way too many good deals to buy individual parts cheaper. Now if you want a Faxon barrel, or something specific, build it. Seems the only way to beat these high volume AR builders is to spend 6-8 months looking for the cheapest prices from multiple s...

I picked up a 24E on Black Friday last year for a 7.62x39 AR, really wasn’t looking for an Uber light trigger, just something with more hammer force that has a better pull than a GI single stage with a Wolff xtra power spring to touch off all this surplus M67 I have stockpiled. I also picked up a Ge...

Both of my .300bo uppers (16” and 8”) are from Palmetto State Armory and run great, no issues. Had the 16” for a few years and has had close to 1k rounds thru it. Lately it gets shot more than my BCM 5.56 upper. I also just picked up a Bear Creek Arsenal 20” upper in 6.5 Grendel. Looks great, seems ...

I ordered four cases on Sunday, shipping was $13 to S.C. and arrived today. With shipping it comes out to under 42cents/round. Cheaper than Magtec. ADI’s 69 gr. matchking 5.56 is one of my favorite precision loads with a heavy bullet. Also some of the best packaged commercial ammo, every 5 rounds is...
