Plenty here own one. In fact, one is even selling his but I can't remember who...


EDIT: FYI, OP deleted his original post, I didn't start this.

I have one that I assembled.

Delaware Machinery lower receiver
RRA stripped upper
cheapo UTG 6-position stock
cheapo handguards
Model1 Sales barrel and bolt

Magazines are the tricky part.
There are many on the market, and only a handful will function properly.

I just looked at a couple of my good ones and they bear no maker name.
I thought they were C Products, but I may be wrong.
Look closely at the mags. The 30+ rounders will be curved a lot more heavily than a standard AR mag.

My good running mags don't have a name on them, but they are stamped, 7.62x39, on both the side of the box itself, but also on the top of the follower.
Be sure whatever you buy (mag wise) is specifically designed for 7.62x39.
You'll be sorry if you don't.

I do really like mine. It is as accurate as I am and likely more.
Runs great with the proper mags.

Yes. Piece of cake.
Ar's are simple to assemble. They're also easy to screw up if you don't know what you're doing.

My first stripped lower too me about 45 minutes to assemble by myself, with no previous experience.
I Googled AR assembly and followed a pictorial.

It would be nice to have some experienced help for your first build. It's not necessary, but a nice convenience.

Good luck.

I too am jonesing for another AR...but am thinking something different than .223 would be nice. Good to know that this caliber is doable. Rock river has a neat factory one
