| Anyone out there done one or had one of these done? Is there more too it than just a new barrel (blank) and and 7.62 X 39 bolt? |
| Huh... What's the difference between 5.56 and 7.62 Mags? Is it the follower or the actual body? With my luck it'd probably be both...hinking.gif |
| Although the PPC rounds have set the standards in the bench rest community, the down fall to using either one in a AR-15 is the short 20 " barrel. If you do consider building one up, look for a barrel in the 24" Plus range to get everything that you can out of the round. |

Some 7.62x39 magazines are identical to .223 Rem magazines except for being stamped "7.62x39". Other 7.62x39 magazines have the two rearmost vertical ribs on sides of the magazine removed the front rib spaced for a 7.62x39 neck / bullet. As far as bolts, there are differences between a Colt and DPMS 7.62x30 bolt. In my experience building PPC uppers, I prefer the DPMS over the Colt. The reason people went 22 PPC in the AR15 was to shoot Sierra 80 grain Matchking's from the magazine in highpower competition for the rapidfire stages of matches. 6 PPC was to use 95-107 grain bullets again from the magazine in highpower competition. The 6.5 Grendel is an improved version of the 6.5 PPC, but is a factory turnkey version with brass, ammo, dies, uppers, and magazines. Lets you shoot from 85 to 144 grain bullets from the magazine. |
