We like ours. Better ergos, accuracy, and scopeability than the AK. Power level is just right.

They are home built guns. Mine (above) has a stainless fluted HBar.
Here has a zombie theme (she likes it, so there's that) and she killed her first deer with it, too. Hers has more of a socom profile barrel that's a lot easier to carry. Both shoot much better than I can believe. Fun guns.

Interesting comparisons on the magazines... I have 90's era Colt 6830 Sporter lightweight carbine in 7.62x39 that I subsequently swapped on a Colt made 7.62x39 H-BAR upper onto it. Compared to it's 5.56 H-BAR brother, it's hardly fired due to the feeding issues.

ASC mags. No others. Haven't seen a need to experiment. Supposedly C Products is the only other decent mag.

Our own Twaits is a long time employee of Windham.
My impression is they are a very high quality provider
and stand by their products.
Twaits did mention some concerns about the saturated
AR-15 market.
I am interested about the range of accuracy from the AR
with various types of ammo.

I got some fairly robust 45* irons on eBay. They work for up close. Mind wears a 2-7x32 Nikon that I really like.
The 10 rounders I use for bench shooting and hunting. I've got 3 of those.

Not a huge fan of the cartridge, but at basically .30-30 Win power certainly useful.
Had an old Colt Sporter in 7.62x39 that was used by a few kids to kill their first deer. Always used the Federal Red/white box 123 soft points.
Years back I had the opportunity to snag a mess of 5.45 x 39 7n6 Russian ammo for a song, so bought it all. Then when the AK74's finally arrived I was set.
Being an AR guy at heart I was one of the first who bought one of the LWRC 5.45 piston uppers several years back when they did a small run of them. With ACS mags mine runs pretty close to flawlessly. At a nickel a round I still have several thousand rds of ammo left.

I purchased an AR 15 from Colt after attending their Armorer's school in 7.62x39. I was a benchrest shooter and appreciated the link mentioned by KLYDE to the 6mm/22 PPC and other wildcats derived from this basic brass cartridge. The rifle initially gave me fits when using anything but the Colt 5 round magazine. Then I discovered C Products and everything changed. I have enjoyed superb reliability and accuracy ever since. If I had to 'repel all borders' I would reach for the 7.62x39 Colt first. ......
BTW, I learned to use nothing but factory loads in brass cases. I use them to reload with total reliability.

Congrats!
Now you'll need some "green eyes" to go with it.
The 7.62x39 is a fun round to shoot, bet your newest will be great.
