This bcg fits standard ar15 upper receiver is that correct?

A
Answered by SGM, guest, from MI, United States, on January 18, 2022

I think you mean, "Will this BCG fit a standard AR15 upper that has a 7.62x39 barrel?" If that is correct, then YES, this BCG will fit a standard AR15 upper.

Would this work for my side charging upper?

A
Answered by Trevor, member, from WA, United States, on March 21, 2023

If it's a Gibbs Arms upper, it will. The bolt retaining pin needs to be swapped out with the proprietary Gibbs Arms one.

Q
Ryan Heath, guest, from MN, United States, asked on August 22, 2020

Does this have the enhanced firing pin specifically for the 7.62x39?

A
Answered by Refire, member, from TX, United States, on December 14, 2021

I bought this for 7.62x39 AR platform, thinking that it is ready to go, but it is not. it would strike the ammo and not fire almost like every other round. The rounds are not bad, as it could be "re-used" and fire from a ak47. Now I must look for an enhanced firing pin. It should have come with that firing pin so that it would work reliably and not waste my time and additional money. Other than that significant annoyance, the BCG does work

Q
noob, member, from TX, United States, asked on April 05, 2022

will this work in a 12.7x42(50Beowulf)upper?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on April 13, 2022

This Radical Firearms RF 7.62x39 M16 BCG, Melonite Bolt Carrier Group will not work in a 50 Beowulf Upper. From what information I have found the 50 Beowulf uses a similar bolt face to the 6.5 Grendel but uses a different extractor. So that means it is best to get a 50 Beowulf BCG which we currently do not have.

Q
Mitchell, guest, from WA, United States, asked on January 25, 2022

Does this BCG allow the use of AK mags? Such as the ks47 lower has?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on February 03, 2022

The manufacturer doesn't state whether or not the Radical Firearms RF 7.62x39 M16 BCG will work with AK Magazines. The PSA KS-47 has a redesigned bolt which allows it to work in that upper with AK magazines. I recommend contacting the manufacturer to confirm compatibility with AK magazines.
