Bought the upper and installed on a 223 lower that I had. Do you have to change the buffer spring or anything else after the conversion? Thanks for any help.

Sometimes you will need a longer firing pin and/or a heavier hammer spring to ignite Eastern Bloc steel case ammo, a D ring added to extractor is good if you happen to have extraction issues.
Did you get the upper on Midway's deal? Wondered how theirs looked.

Make sure you get good mags.
The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

should be good to go, mags can be a pain
do some research and spend your money wisely
7.62x39 ar is a hoot to shoot
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting.......holy kaka.....What a Ride!
