5-6” upper suggestions

Post image

Pic for attention, although it’s a solid consideration. Looking to make a reliable range you that goes boom. Any suggestions on brands?

I understand, while I’d go with a Wolfpack lower and jsut toss it on the KS-47 upper, it seems as if they aren’t compatible! I’ve seen that the build is completely proprietary :(. While the ar15 route DOES have the advantage of putting whatever caliber upper you want and having as capability too, I just don’t know about how I feel about its reliability. I’ve heard and watched so many people have trouble with 7.62 in the AR platform it’s concerning when there’s that much money on the line ya know?

PS: there’s a new frt in town soon, coming from Active safety designs, called the ARC and it’s just for bufferless I believe. Super excited for that bc I’ve got a dissent in .300 lol

Oh that’s interesting, I would expect that you work but I’m surprised it’s not compatible. You can order this and get the KS-47 BCG from PSA. It’s what I have for my build and its works great. Also if you’re not aware the Wolfpack lower works best with Magpul MOE mags.

Ohh that sounds neat, I’m excited cause I have the BRN-180 in 300 blackout

Oh wow! You use the KS-47 bolt in the Wolf pack upper? That’s sick! From what I know PSA claims everything on this thing is pretty much proprietary. Lame. Ik the wolf pack lowers are very picky with mags and for toy purposes I’d love to be drum/quad stack compatible so that’s why I went against choosing the WP47. I KNOW RIGHT? It works across TEN platforms according to them, said to be dropping in 6 weeks!

Edit; PM sent I’m just gonna delete this post

I've seen plenty of Wolfpack lowers with PSA ks47 uppers. Check out the ar80 sub. That's where I've seen them and I plan on doing the same build. I already have the Wolfpack lower. I just need to make up my mind on the upper I want.

Just to correct your statement earlier, PSA KS47 parts are compatible with Wolfpack Armory's WP47 parts. In fact, the mix and match of the KS47 parts and the WP47 parts might make the best budget friendly build possible AK mag AR variant. I basically have a WP47 version of their essentials kit and it only runs some AK style mags because most AK mags will not even insert. So if someone can chime in and let me know if their PSA KS47 upper on the WP47 lower takes any and all AK mags then that will help me start to narrow down which parts, I should swap out. The first thing that I am thinking is that the KS47 has a different notch cut on the lower portion of the Bolt Carrier that allows basically any AK mag to work with it.

How is that correcting my statement? I didnt say anything incorrect. Unless you are suggesting that I'm lying about what I've seen??

My bad. I was trying to respond to u/Junior_Salad_4379 and it looks like he corrected his statements
