149!?!? Not bad I ordered one. Any experiences with these?

I looked at it.  I looked at the 7" upper w/ BCG for 259 even closer.  I just can't make myself order the oddball stuff like that from them.   I've got my one paperweight here to remind me.

I bought one last year. Runs 100%

Uses a proprietary bcg.

But I ordered a spare "normal" bcg and it headpaced perfectly and ran 100%.

I used C-products mags, I read others may have issues.

Cant go wrong at 249 complete or 149 if you can scrounge up a 7.62x39 bcg.

Fit to PSA AR15 lower is perfect.

That is what would tempt me.  A 11.5" AR pistol or upper which works w/ the AK mag lower.

I bought the lower on sale but the matching uppers don't go on sale very often

I've been on the fence about one.  I have an SBR'd lower I'd like to utilize for a drop in upper.  Ammo can be cheap, so I always wanted one, but heard only horror stories about reliability (rarely to people give the success stories).  Never knew anyone personally, so I'm taking everything with a grain of salt.  From what I've heard, mags are the issue.

Please post your results, as I might bite the bullet before "times change" and the next election/scare comes out.

I bought this upper last year and use an aim bcg with it and it has run very well.  It was tough to not buy a spare at this price.

Do you use steel case Russian ammo?

I'm looking for some whitetail loads and I see SG has hornady SST's but they are steel case

Mine ran the weak Tula well.

Just oil it well, might take a few rounds to settle in.

I've used the wolf military classic and it ran great.

I bought the 7" special they had for $259. Does one generally need any different buffer/spring setup to get this short of a barrel running reliably? Or are y'all having good luck with a standard AR buffer and spring?

This would be my first 7.62 upper. I was planning on getting the specific mags for 7.62 on an AR lower, just curious if I should lookout for anything else.

I can't speak on the 7 inch setup, but on the carbine upper I'm using a standard buffer and spring.

Well, I got tired of them pestering me with emails. I got one today, 149 and free ship.

My first one I got last year has the hybrid bcg but runs fine with a regular 7.62x39 bcg. I'll drop my spare bcg in this one.

Go on sale? I've been waiting for the KS stripped uppers to just be in stock for nearly 3 months. Getting worried they have abandoned the platform.

They have had 2 of the 3 rifle kits they make on sale in the last week. I thought about holding out for a upper and trying to piece something together but it just doesn't seem worth it. Really hoping I they put the cheapest kit up for sale and I don't regret passing on the the 16" kit up for sale now. I should jump at $420 but I am hoping the cheap one is close to $300.

What... no eye candy? Where are the pics!??
ETA: I only have one AK left (sold 4) and I'm not feeling that one either. But would love a x39 AR to fill the slot between my 5.56's and 308's!
Need eye candy to help sell me on it!

I have picked up two of the complete AR47 uppers that they have had on sale recently but they use standard AR upper receivers. The KS47 uppers are different and the stripped ones have been OOS for months. I have not seen any of the KS components on sale recently.

I sure hope not, I bought the 16" midlength upper a few months back and have been waiting on a stripped lower for over a month now, I hate having a $1k paperweight since i don't have the correct lower to use it on

Anyone put headspace gauges on these $149 uppers?

Need to check a few more spare bolts and existing proprietary PSA bcg, but first bcg I grabbed fails NOGO but is ok with FIELD gauge....

Edit:
No, its the bolt. All other bolts and PSA proprietary bcg are good on NOGO gauge.

No worries, carry on.
