This video reviews the Wolfpack Armory WP-47, an AR-15 upper receiver chambered in 7.62x39mm designed to accept AK-47 magazines. It highlights the installation and testing of the WP-47 with an Alamo-15 Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) on a standard AR-15 lower. The presenter, PSR, offers a technically proficient assessment, comparing reliability with different magazine types and discussing the unique features of the FRT.

This is a second look at the Brownells BRN-180 upper receiver chambered in 7.62x39mm. The reviewer experienced initial issues but aims to give the platform a fair evaluation after further range testing with various lower receivers. Notably, only the Sons Of Liberty Gun Works lower has proven to be consistently reliable with this upper. Updates on further testing will be provided.

This video reviews the Bear Creek Arsenal 7.62x39 upper for the AR-15 platform. The reviewer expresses initial hiccups but notes improved performance towards the end. The setup utilizes a standard AR-15 mil-spec lower and ASC 7.62x39 magazines, with a minor mention of difficulty seating the 10th round. The video explores whether this upper can rival an AK-47, acknowledging the lack of a direct AK comparison due to the reviewer not owning one.

This AR-9 build faced significant reliability issues, particularly with ASC and C-Products magazines when loaded with an even number of rounds. The problem was traced to the feed lip geometry interfering with the last-round bolt hold-open lever. While upgrades like a longer barrel and better brace improved handling, the inherent blowback action remains jarring. Potential fixes include a new bolt carrier group or retiring the build.
