7.62x39 to much for AR six point stock to handle

nightboomer
I am new the broads and finish building my fist [8D] car 15 rifle about sometime ago and now in middle of building an 20" 7.62x39 barrel for it. I would like to know from the AR experts if my car stock will handle abuse of the 7.62x39 calber

    If they can handle the 7.62x51/.308, .458 SOCOM and .450 Bushmaster they can handle the 7.62x39. You might just want to add a heavier duty buffer.

    I wouldn't consider the 7.62x39 recoil to be "abusive". One of the elcheapo stocks might fail but I don't think a good quality stock will have any problem with the 7.62.

    Should be fine.

    While it has more momentum than .223, 7.62x39 isn't exactly an "abusive" caliber. It the stock fails from that, it was crap anyway.

    A friend of mine once bent the locking pin in a collapsible AR stock but only after pounding the butt on asphalt trying to clear a stuck bolt. Your stock will have no trouble with the 7.62X39.
