I already have a date with Kool Koatings in two weeks for some badda$$ colour schemes. Definitely more money than I was expecting for an upper / lower / handguard.
Gave up sailing last year; too old to sail in gales at or past the edge of the envelope; gave up on motorcycles years ago, as they are one of the root causes of my back pain that precludes me from sailing; one house, one triplex... enough. Porsche? I love my old Jeep.
It's not going to be a cheap build, but it will be "frugal"... bought a second one too.
Tried to hold out... have enough projects on the go. ah well , that's what visa is for,lol ... So anyways, I'm thinking of ordering the x39 bolt and barrel combo. What else will I need that is different from a .223 build? (this will be my first build) Just a mag? Thanks for any replies....

Ryan loves to give it to us raw.
Yep just the magazine and you'll be good to go, I'd recommend the 14.5" over the 7.5" barrel because the pistol length gas system on the shorter barrel can be a bit finicky. I have one of the pistol barrels and another barrel with a carbine length gas system and I've had more success with that one so far. SFRC has the mags in stock and on sale right now too. 7.62x39 out of an AR-15 is a lot of fun!

I'm planning on doing the same thing. My 14.5" barrel is going to ship with my receivers luckily. No expert as this is my first dealings with 7.62x39 but from what I've read I'll be picking up an enhanced firing pin as well in the event that I have issues with light primer strikes on any surplus ammo I shoot.
