Barrel help.

[FNSCARH762]

Hello everyone, I was looking for some help with my Colt Sporter Lightweight (7.62x39). I would like to switch out the upper reciever for a flat-top reciever and put on a 20"-24" bull barrel. Can anyone point me in the right direction for proper parts so I can make this happen? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Since you are using a 308 lower, you could go here;

7.62x39 is the round fired by the AK-47 and SKS. It is not a .308 Winchester nor a 7.62x51 NATO.

DPMS has removed all parts for 7.62x39 rifles from their website. I don't know if they are simply out of stock or if they are out of production for good.

Here's your upper:

Do you want to keep it in 7.62x39? Or do you want to rebarrel to something else?

Here's the videos to show you how to do it:

I want to still keep it a 7.62x39 just want to change the upper to a flat-top and add a bull barrel. My main concern was making sure everything fit just right. Thanks for the reply.
