Apologies in advance for the N00b question, but I'm having a hard time searching the forum for an answer and searching the internet in general doesn't give me Canada-specific.

Basically I am wondering what are the options for getting a 7.62 AR (and who sells them)?

Thanks for any assistance!
 
wolverine supply has an hk mr 308 (restricted and pricy) they are also the importer for the xcr-m(not an ar but also non restricted). questar has a selection of ar 308.
 
i was gonna ask if you meant x39 or x51. the xcr-l can be chambered in 7.62 x 39, again it is not an ar. i think dpms and armalite have some models that are x39. dont know were to buy them. why not a cz 858. do you just like the ar look? do you prefer to shoot corrosive ammo?
 
Its not available yet, but RRA is putting one into production (LAR-47) that uses AK mags. Looks pretty cool and a proprietary lower and upper. hmmm would that make it possibly non-restricted with the proper barrel length? ;)
 
I'm getting ATRS to build me an AR barrel in .300 Blackout. With lighter bullets, you get the same ballistics as the 7.62 x 39mm, but you can still use regular mags and other AR parts. It is a lot more expensive for ammo, unless you make your own brass and handload like myself.
 
I wouldn't buy an AR in 7.62x39 unless it uses AK mags like the Rock River Arms one. I've never played with any in 7.62x39 but I read lots of reports that the round doesn't feed well from the straight AR mag.

I went the 300 Blackout route as well. 7.62x39 ballistics in a .223 parent cartridge that uses all the same parts (other than barrel) of a standard AR

If it looks like an AR it will be restricted. Makes no sense to anyone but the guys making the descision on the classification
 
The XCR-L may be something to look into. Non restricted and I haven't heard any complaints about feeding them 7.62x39. Maybe the 5-10 round mags feed well enough here, 30's may be more of a problem.
I would be a little hesitant feeding corrosive ammo into a $2400 rifle though. Probably because I can get a little lazy cleaning them from time to time. It always get's done just not always as soon as I get home.

Or go 7.62x51 and rule the world :)

I tried to find a 7.62 x 39 AR and couldn't so I built one from scratch starting with a 16" RRA barrel. My research found that mags holding over 10 rounds, as sold in the US, didn't work well because they weren't curved. However, since we can't use them, it isn't really an issue here. I use XCR 10 round mags in my 7.62 x 39 and they work just fine, I have never had a feeding issue. The rifle has proven itself to be very accurate. I only shoot handloads through it- no corrosive ammo. It really likes 123 gr. V-Max bullets. I realize you asked about ready made. There aren't a lot out there but if you really, really want one- you can always make your own.

That sounds like my best option, and yours looks pretty sweet. Building my own is a bit over my head for the moment, though. I might contact you in the future for more info.
