    Minumum 7.62x39 barrel question

    Does anyone know what the minimum barrel length is for 7.62x39 for all the powder to burn before the bullet leaves the barrel?

    For .300 Blackout it's 9". I'm in the process of designing a 7.62x39 AR pistol and I don't want a flame thrower. Any help is appreciated. I've done a lot of searching and still don't have definitive data.

    I do have a stripped lower receiver that I bought and had the transfer done for but I have not bought any more parts for it yet while I try to find out what is the best AR 7.62x39 pistol I can design and build.

    i've heard its 12.5" for a complete burn, can't exactly remember where or confirm it. I have a 10" 7.62 x 39 pistol with an adjustable gas block and it runs excellent. that was the shortest I was willing to go, i've seen too many broken bolts with barrels shorter than that. hardest part of these builds is getting good mags.
    Why the fuck didn't you tell us somebody was in the bathroom? Slipped your mind? Did you forget that somebody was in there with a goddamn hand cannon?
