Started as a regular basic coyote ACR. Stripped all the barrel assembly parts off and ditched the 5.56 barrel. Used an Adams Arms 5.45x39 16" carbine barrel. Chopped off the end and threaded it .5x28. Notched it for the op rod support, red-drilled the taper pin holes for the gas block, shortened and turned down the op rod, and opened up the bolt to accept the larger round. Hand cycling the rounds were getting stock in the chamber and would only eject by wrapping the charging handle with a rubber mallet. Took it out today to shoot it and it worked perfectly the first mag. The stars must have been aligned because of all my odd custom builds of ARs, H&K's, and different guns they never fire correctly right out of the gate. As far as i know it;s the first one out there.  |
That is sweet viper, the up most in cool  , gives me hope for my conversion ambitions. I'd like to do one of the 7.62x39 / 6.5 conversions on mine but the fact that Bushmaster / Remington are stonewalling there customers and not releasing the parts we need to get it done is killing me.
Did you use regular AR 5.56 mags? |

Did you use regular AR 5.56 mags? I have heard certain pmags work by cutting the front of the follower. Tried it and they worked for a little bit then left them loaded an they stopped working. I use ASC 5.45 mags |
