A 7.62X39 upper will fit on a lower just fine. As the upper receiver is the same, it is only the barrel and bolt that are different.

You can use regular .223/5.56 magazines, but due to the different taper of the 7.62X39 case, only 5-7 round will reliably feed. There are some 7.62X39 magazines, most notably the USA Brand 30 rounders, that will feed somewhat reliably. It seems the perfect 7.62X39 magazine for the AR platform does not exist.

CCC,
That looks like the way to go if building a new rifle dedicated to the 7.62x39. That drumm looked awesome in there. |

Other than that, you have to use 20 round mags, 30 round mags wont work. GG |

G-Tech and Scherer are the top 7.62x39 AR-15 magazines, with the USA hybrid style a fairly close second.
