Anyone know where to get a good price on a 7.62X39 conversion upper for the AR?
Or, what parts do I need to buy to build one myself?

Be warned that 7.62x39 ARs are plagued by reliability issues, mostly due to the lack of good magazines, as the AR's magwell design does not perform well with the cartridge.

There's another thread going on about this here.

Appreciate the read. You just saved me some money. If I want a 7.62X39 I'll buy an AK or SKS or something else. Sounds like these conversion uppers are a bad idea for me!

I use a MGI lower.  Swap the magwell and use ak mags.
