You could buy a Sig 556r. I think they come with a quadrail. If not the rails are cheap or you could get rail adapters for the stock hand guards.

I think skypup uses one for hogs.

Well if you want something in 7.62x39 you can always try a Ruger Mini-30. They are getting more expensive but you can find some used for not too bad if you look around. I know you are talking about building one but that is an option.

I have a Vortex Strikefire bright red only and it has a night vision setting which works real well with a friend's PVS-13. I considered a 7.62 X 39 but went with a 6.5 Grendel which basically uses the same parent case.

If you REALLY want an AK-AR, I would wait for RRA to release their AR47.
I have seen some of it - looks like they cut out the front magwell area for banana mags from AKs to fit into an AR.
Dunno if drums will work.

I have wanted an AK for a LONG time, but have never gotten one. This may be the crossover that gets me there!

I sold all but one x39 mag with the upper I just sold, but I don't see a reason to pick up another kind of firearm, unless it will be the same as my father's Saiga, and more accurate.



No WTF for me. No can in the future, so no reason to go for it. We don't shoot enough .223, have we shot 223 yet? Not sure.

Model 1 is @ most of the N Texas gun shows.

Gig 'em,

If I had a PVS 14 and my Strikefire I think 150 yard shot would be easy with the NV. My Strikefire came with a 2X magnifier and for the money I like it. With my Polytac light and strikefire I think I could hit a decent size hog out to at least 70 yards and on a bright moon lit night probably a lot farther. I haven't tried any of the lasers people are using for hog hunting.

FYI, mag length could be an issue, depending on how you hunt. The 30-round Cprod/ASC 7.62x39 mags are long, and those were the only mags that I found to run reliably in my factory Armalite 7.62x39. The 10-round 7.62x39 mag that came with the gun never ran reliably for me (though it does run well in my Grendel!). The full-capacity, 25-round Grendel mags are shorter than the 'x39 30s, and you can get 14-round mags if you want shorter yet. For hunting from a stand mag length probably doesn't present an issue, but if you're in the weeds, that gigantic 30-round 7.62x39 mag might be a hindrance.

Obviously, the 7.62x39 will be cheaper for you to shoot as compared to the Grendel. I pay right around a buck a pull for the Hornady 123 grn Amax. I reload for less, but man, it sure hurts when you dump a full mag and can't recover the brass.

I know you said no to the 300 Blackout, but the round does have slightly less recoil than both the 7.62x39 and the Grendel, all three from a 16" tube.

I like keeping it simple. Colt 14.5" upper, Ameetec lower, Gemtech can. I have DPMS frankenmags that run great, and also some carefully sorted and tested CP mags.

What about a Rock River Arms AR/AK hybrid called the RRA LAR-47? All the awesomeness of an AR with the ability to use AK mags and shoot the 7.62x39.

Took some time after lunch today and pieced this together. These are the three (with a fourth to be listed later if Sota decides to do a pistol length) i am looking at right now. Leaving out the coatings, I have priced them to the closest I can apples to apples.
