Testing out the Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in my HRR Strat.
Переглядів 3,1 тис.6 років тому
Swapped out the factory Japanese humbucker for a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates. This guitar is a lot of fun to play, no doubt about it. 1994 Japanese Foto Flame Fender Stratocaster HSS with a Floyd Rose II. I might swap out the FRII with a newer Schaller system, but so far it’s working perfectly and doesn’t have any stripped screws.

Sweet setup
I know this is 6 years old but have you tried Adams Piston Kit for a gas system instead of DI system? I onl-y ask cause the AK uses a piston system and Im gonna build an AR47 and was thinking about the piston system for it. Just runs cleaner.
Update: Gun works great with brass ammo but cheap steel stuff fails to feed. There is a modification i am doing to my new Duramags to create less drag on the shell casing. I essentially built this rifle. My Gun is Aero Precision enhance upper, Aero quantum rail, M4E1 lower, Aero Breach, Magpul UBR gen2 stock, 762x39 BRA bolt, Faxon Mid length gas barrel, superlative arms adj gas block, duramag 28rds. Trigger: Stock AR15, mild polish, JP reduced spring + BRA heavy hammer spring. 4.5 lb pull. Vortex Prism red dot.
Would you sell this rifle?
Great video! Thanks for the parts list. How’s this build doing today?
Magazines are the one critical thing with that platform if you have a good magazines, the gun will run very well. I can speak from experience.
Bca lugs break every 1000 rnds or so but i just keep a spare. Bolt on me in my pack. But i have 556 762 several ar15s 7.62x39mm r very great for hunting guns no joke
Awesome build there! Question for ya with your buffer and spring your using any pressure signs also with the gas block are you restricting gas or bleeding it?
6 years later. How is it holding up?! I had to finally replace bolt at 2700 rounds. I agree with you on the BAD lever. I like my trigger guards to be free and clear for gloves. Enhanced foreling pin.. Some extractors are a real pain. .I mainly built one to have some fun with it and at that time ammo was so ridiculously overpriced.
It is still running like a champ. It's on the 4th extractor and has about 8,500 rounds through it. Almost all of that is steel. Over time, I did replace the Aero receivers through with SOLGW and changed the handguard to a Geissele Mk16. Some other things changes over time as well, like replacind the lower parts kit with Forward Controls parts. But, the complete BCG (minus extractor kits obviously), barrel, gas system, and other core parts of the rifle are still the exact same. It still shoots reliably and accurately. I will admit though that I would prefer not to use this as a defensive carbine due to the extractor. That is he weak point, although a properly built and gassed AR47 can see upward of 2,500 rounds on an extractor kit. My bolt still looks great though. Anyway, I haven't shot this much lately, preferring to run a suppressed 12.5" 556 these days.
Try Young Manufacturing Extractor. I am starting with battle rile arms bolt first but may grab the young extractor once bra bolt extractor breaks
So I have a very specific question I don't know if anyone could answer it but when it comes to the nickel boron 762x39 BCG, one of the biggest flaws of this particular rifle and caliber is that they always get a broken extractor. With these nickel boron BCG groups, do they come with any sort of enhanced extractor that is tougher than the others?
Yes, Black Rifle Arms uses high quality extractor kits. Even then, you are going to break them every 800 to 2500 rounds depending on how your rifle is gassed. An AGB will help maximize ejector life but may lead to other issues, like carbon locking. I personally don't see that as an issue on this particular platform though, because the gas block is pretty much set it and forget it when running 100% unsuppressed. Otherwise, I don't like AGBs. Most other brands of 7.62x39 BCGs use inferior parts that break early and often.
I am a super Aero Precision Fan and not for nothing, I didn't know they made a lower for AK mags..... I went with the KS47 set up ua-cam.com/video/aObJTadKbP8/v-deo.html had ai known, I would have went with AP. I have 9+ builds with them. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Just sub'd
Aero does not make a lower for AK mags. The lower in the video is a standard AR lower. Regardless, Aero was cool back when this video was made, but I would not buy them today.
That thing is dead sexy (in fat bastard voice) lol. They say great minds think alike. The only thing different i was planning on doing is going with the Sharps Rifle co. BCG but definitely considered one from BRA. After i saw the uppers from LWRC i knew what i wanted but couldnt afford something that nice so thank God AP came out with the Enhanced uppers for the little guy or in this case the poor guys lol.
Do you sell your builds? I am retired Army and been looking for something close to the M16 which I loved.
Not these days. My state banned the transfer of most of these rifles recently.
Awesome thanks

Nice. Planning on doing some of the same upgrades for reliability. What kind of oil do u run on ur bcg? And I was thinking about going with a eotech too but realized what if a emp from solar or worse happens then no juice so I'm wondering about good scopes that aren't electric, any suggestions? Thanks.
If you are worried about electronics failure in an optic, go with something powered by tritium and/or with an etched reticle. For example, you can run a Trijicon Accupoint or an ACOG. As for lube, SOTARacha. There is a video here on UA-cam.
I’m trying to troubleshoot my radical 7.62x39 now. I’ll take some of your advice and hopefully I’ll get it running soon.
can you use a aero gen 2 lower with a 308 upper?
No. You can’t marry up an AR15 lower to an AR10 upper. The dimensions are significantly different.
I put one of these together and if you want to avoid an adjustable gas block you can switch to an H2 buffer. I still think there is a lot to be desired in the way of extractors and bolts. There's just no AR15/M16 bolt out there that hasn't been milled out too much. I'd liked to see an adapted AR10 bolt. I hate saying this but after playing with one of these for a while I wouldn't use it as a GTW/SHTF gun, if you're going the 7.62x39 route stay AK/SKS for reliability (and I'm talking not having to have spare bolts and extractors in the grip).
I agree on not using 7.62x39 AR’s for defensive roles given their spotty record with breaking extractors and bolts. Either use an AK or invest in a 300 BLK platform. But these particular rifles should only be used for plinking and hunting.
In this caliber, unlike a 556, you really need to lower gas pressure to lessen bolt and extractor strain. A heavier buffer will slow it down, but gas is your problem. I agree with you that for 99% of applications, an adjustable gas block is less than ideal and I don't even run one in my 3G setup anymore.
Interesting
I'm sure someone has said this already, but you should probably include video of you actually firing the weapon to really sell it's quality.
which arisaka light mount is that? Side scout mount MCX?
What upper did you use? The regular one or the xl
These should have been a standard so long ago
Hey Doug. Thanks for a great video. Your voice sounds familiar, do you produce current content about firearms under a diff name ?
Can I use a regular ar 15 lower
Great breakdown on everything👍
7.62x38 you Haven't had a problem with it. Well he'll you changed about everything on it. LMAO.
This video is pretty old now. I am still running the original barrel and BCG from this video. At present, I am at about 7,500 rounds total. All but a couple of boxes of brass have been Tula, Wolf, and RAS steel-cased. In that time, I have broken 2 extractors and am on the third. After breaking the first, I spoke with BRA and they strongly recommended an adjustable gas block to mitigate extractor and bolt wear. I do not believe an adjustable gas block has a place on a standard AR outside of competitive shooting, but it's a must for 7.62x39. With the ABG, I have about 3,200 rounds on the current extractor (BRA extractor).
Nice video, I've been contemplating building one of these with on of my lowers.
Nice!!!
What buffer weight
Regular 5.56 AR lower?
Where should I start for an AR 10 version of this with very slight adjustments? Looking to do my first build and honestly I’d like to use 80-90% of what you used. Do you have a list of parts or a website that essentially walks you through it in layman’s?
Who makes the buffer tube?
Primary Weapons Systems
What type of buffer spring are you using?
Is this bcg the one made specific for 7.62 caliber or just 5.56? Noticed both were on website. Pretty sure both have enhanced firing pins as well.
This is a dedicated 7.62x39 bolt and ships with the enhanced firing pin and extractor kit.
Professor Hughes Thanks for reply. There’s only $15 difference in price but the 7.62 version is out of stock (my luck)
Do the Green Mountain barrels have wider feed ramps on the 7.62x39 than the .556 ?
They do not, but they are cut well and line up perfectly with my upper. No feeding issues at all.
What mags are you running?
Started out running ASC but they all failed at 300-500 rounds and would no longer feed. Switch the CProducts DuraMags and they are excellent. The rifle has about 6200 rounds through it now and still runs like a top.
Thank you
With the gloves you don't lose too much sensitivity during surgery you work well?
There must be a system not to waste too much water,just need accordingly,think how many personel take hand wash in ot,this is stupid to waste water,doc saif paedsurgeon
Thanks for commenting. This is an older sink that did not have a motion sensor. Some hospitals still have these old systems. Newer sinks turn off automatically and then back on with a motion sensor to conserve water. In the end, you have to work with and adapt to what you have.
I should also add that other versions have a foot pedal to control the water flow.
This is a Gucci ar47
Wow, after spending days trying to figure out how to build one, your video popped up. I hate to say it, but thanks Google. And thank you Mr. Hughes, fir making this post!
Thanks and glad you found it!
C- Products work wonderful on a 7.62x39 AR for sure......BRA's are la creme de la creme when it comes to BCG's .........There is nothing better !
Does your setup have standard M4 feed ramps? I'm seriously considering building an ar47 but just want to be certain to build a reliable weapon so I really appreciated this video, new subscriber here!
Yes, it’s an Aero Precision upper receiver with standard M4 feed ramps. I do not recommend polishing them. Quality parts should not need that sort of modification to run reliably. Most builders with feeding issues can trace them to magazines and don’t need to modify feed ramps anyway. The newer generation magazines from C Products are hands down the best.
Thanks for the demo. I'm sold on the Pearly Gates. Does your girlfriend know you shred in her apartment when she's not there? I bet the dog told her...
Time for an update....👍👍👍🇺🇸
Any thoughts on what would cause 2 broken extractor claws? No case head separations, just FTE because claw snapped off. Chamber need polished? Weaker buffer spring? What am I missing??
Are you running an adjustable gas block? If not, I recommend that as a potential fix. Broken extractors in x39 builds are often a result of being over gassed.
@@djhughes017 roger will co. Got any suggestions on ones that you reccomend? Thanks!
I really enjoy my KS-47 but I do have a Faxon 7.62x39 barrel sitting here to build a AR47 😁
Would you prefer the KS47 or Aero setup? Was looking at the KS and really like what I see (though wish bolt held open), and didn't know Aero made a 762x39 lower...
What’s the best or optimal distance to zero a AR15 7.62x39 rifle?
I zero mine at 50-200 unless I am running an optic with a reticle that requires a 25/100 zero
Douglas Hughes thanks for the fast reply! I’m running a sig whiskey 3 hellfire 4-12x50 . I tried to zero at 100 yards but my groupings were off
Must haves: enhanced firing pin, full power hammer strikes, for mags use c products, rze unimags, or d&h mags
