I have a 7.62.x39 AR that I tried and tried for the life of me to get it to run Tulamo cheap stuff... it just did not like it. I tried everything. Got it to were it would run a half a mag before I'd get a fail to fire. Ejection and feeding are fine, but it's still a jam-o-matic. Its the ammo... heavy hammer spring, extended firing pin, etc. etc. etc. It eats brass ammo just fine. Doesn't matter what brass ammo I feed it, it's fine. But the cheap stuff, the point of it, it's annoying. So I gave up and got a real 7.62x39 gun (an SKS) and it's like night and day as far as shooting and accuracy. Love my SKS, am annoyed with my AK15. Its time to not let that platform go to waste... being a 270 Win. fan for hunting... it makes perfect sense to convert that bad boy into a 6.8 SPC. So, the question for the experts and experienced builders of non-standard calibers in the AR platform... What, at a bear bones cheap as cheap can be miniumum do I need to change out on my AR to make run 6.8 SPC? I hear the bolt carrier and pin will work, but not that actual bolt? I hear the 7.62x39 mags will work? What's the real skinny on it?
Thanks,
