Guys what would be the most accurate 7.62X39 piston upper with 10" 0r 12" barrel? Using Russian ammo such as Barnaul, Belom and Golden Tiger
Most accurate 7.62x39 piston upper using Russian ammo
- Thread starter bunker buster
- Start date
Honestly it depends like Tony the Tigre said.
I have this cheap. Bulgarian AK, that flipping thing shoots like a tack driver!
I was going to try a barrel in my mcx, but not sure it's worth it.

BTW what's your barrel length? What's your grouping?
I have the PWS upper x39 7.5" I was shooting all over the place. That's why I'm looking for alternate upper which give me good accuarcy at up to 100 yards or more.
I have all 3, the 7.5 the 11.8 and the 16.
I rarely shoot the 7.5, it’s more of a backpack close range toy.
But the 11.8 and 16 give good results. I don't shoot 100 yd groups with them really, rather I shoot at reduced sized paper silhouettes at 200 and 300 and various sized steel plates from 250-500. All I can say is I get the same or better hit percentages as I do with my bulk 55 grain stuff out of my ARs. I would say between 2-3 MOA with a 20 shot group is what I’m getting. I was using golden tiger, not all com block ammo is created the same. The SDs on those are really good at like 14. Like I said, really happy with it. The 11 & 16 can smack a ipsc steel plate at 500 surprisingly well (in low wind). They are nearly the same velocity.
So 1- 1.5 MOA is out of the question for the PWS 7.62x39 upper. Seems to be like Galil SAR x39 its not accurate.
Do you know anything about the Faxon and Black rifle piston upper if they are any good?
BTW thanks for the info

I think you are going to be disappointed with any upper and Russian ammo. I think you have to adjust your expectations.
I may be able to squeeze 1-1.5 out of the PWS if I sand bag it and put a high power scope on it, but it performs great with a 2x prism on man sized and slightly reduced sized targets out to distance so I don’t see the point.
It’s a combat rifle with combat grade bulk ammo, not a precision instrument.
Actually with my Palmetto KS47 10" & 16" I get 1" grouping but its a DI not piston (using the russian ammo). I was really hoping that I can get something like that with the piston with low maintenance. Anyways guys thank for your input. At least I should not expect too much with my PWS diablo.
I would love to see a 20 shot group at 100 yards sized 1.5” or under out of an AK or AR with any form of com block ammo. Not 5 shot groups, too small of a sample size.
