| Well these have been out for a while. What's the feedback? Reliability ? Problems ? Likes? |
| Mine has been 100% thus far and is easily the most accurate 7.62x39 I have shot to date. I think a more substantial charging handle is needed since it lacks a bolt hold open feature but a raptor was an easy remedy to that problem. So far all of my bolt hold open mags have worked great in the gun. |

So far all of my bolt hold open mags have worked great in the gun. The surplus 30 round BHO mags are still pretty cheap and plentiful, if you want BHO in a 20 round mag you'll have to either mod the mag for the surplus BHO follower or grab some aftermarket followers. I bought some Weaponstec followers from either AIM Surplus or Primary Arms, they work great in my Hungarian Tanker mags. They're plastic but have a steel reinforment where the bolt hits the follower. Just curious, when the bolt holds open on an empty mag is there any way on the RRA to manually lock the bolt back so it stays open on a mag change? |

Thanks Alpha. Don't suppose you've tried to run this suppressed? Curious if I could swap buffers and buffer springs to heavier or stronger AR15 variants or if this was proprietary I will be trying mine with a can in a week or two. I just installed a 51T breakout and my buddy has a 308 can for it so I will let you guys know how it performs. |

Steve, I ordered an lar47 tactical comp. What's the turnaround time on that rifle? It was ordered a little over a month ago. Probably a couple more weeks. I'm not sure where we are (by date) on the different LAR-47 models...they've been popular. Steve/RRA |

Steve,
Any feedback on Bulgarian waffle mags? My LAR47 is en route to my FFL, and trying to source a batch of polymer mags. I know the Thermolds are solid, any other recommended polymer brands? Hearing hit/miss on the MOE PMAG, maybe the Gen3 PMAG will be a better fit? |

Mine has ran great with p mags but I have heard of others with issues. I ran the LAR47 with a AAC SDN 6 can the other day and it functioned great. Thanks Alpha. I got an SDN6 in NFA jail, so happy to hear it'll work with the LAR47. Did you do any mods to yours for the suppressor? I typically upgrade both the buffer and the buffer spring to a JP enhanced spring and a PWS H3 for suppressor use |

The issue with P-Mags is the thickness of the feed lips.
The first mags we tested with were great. Then we started getting feedback from users with mags made after ours who were having difficulties, so we bought more P-Mags and found that the feed lips were thicker than on the earlier models and causing some interference with the bottom of the carrier. A few seconds with light sand paper, or letting the bolt go closed over the top of the lips a few times seems to remove just enough material on these later P-Mags to remove that interference, Steve/RRA |
| Steve, have orders on the LAR-47 been caught up yet? I'm still waiting on the LAR-47 Tactical Comp that was ordered at the beginning of March. Been reading reviews on them and can't wait to be able to actually handle mine. Thanks for all your posts and responses, |
