Hey guys I’m having a hard time finding answers to my own questions. I’m thinking of building an upper in 7.62x39 for my wsmcr.

Can I use a standard ar barrel with Tna rifle length gas system and 7.62x 39 bolt?

Where can I get the barrel?

What’s the difference between wsmcr bolts and ar bolts.?

Where the mags at?
 
Hey man, I’m in the same boat as you. I want a separate x39 upper for my current 223 mcr.
Im just waiting on TNA to reply to a question thread I posted on their forum page asking the same sh it as you.

Magazines? I got mine the other day from Firearms Outlet Canada. 39 a pop
Wolverine has mags for 54 a piece.

Maybe tna will get back to me on their forum, who knows
 
WK and MCR barrels come with widened gas ports compared to those of a standard AR barrel. I don't know if the expanded gas port is truly necessary, or just something the original WK designers did to allow the firearm to eat every ammo, at the possible expense of beating the rifle parts senseless. The TNA adjustable gas block should help tune down gas, but whether a standard AR barrel's gas port provides enough gas for the system to properly actuate, I do not know.

Alberta Tactical Rifle Supply (ATRS) makes .223 barrels with widened gas ports for the WK and MCR on demand. You can contact them to confirm if they can make a 7.62 x 39 mm barrel with a rifle length gas port.

International Barrels Inc (IBI) made 7.62x39 mm barrels with mid length gas ports in the past for the now extinct RWA 180B and the RWA WK180C upper, and for sale separately by RWA. If you contact them directly, they should be able to do the same with a rifle length gas port.

Finally, you could call, not just write, actually call TNA directly and ask if they could procure the barrel from their supplier. They recently began selling pencil barrels for the 180c and MCR platforms in .223, and said supplier could likely produce them in 7.62x39 mm in rifle length gas port if asked. Hell, that's something TNA should be carrying to go along with their 7.62 x 39 mm bolt.
 
Hey guys thanks for your help and input. I ended up doing this.
