This is not a basic 7.62×39 AR upper. Also, this is not the original KS-47 design. First, this is Gen2, built specifically to fix common 7.62×39-in-AR feeding issues. Next, it ships with the upgraded TC-E bolt carrier group. Finally, it lets you run AK magazines and AK ammo through an AR-style platform.

Will this fit my AR-15 lower?

No. So this is important to get right before you buy. The KS-47 Gen2 upper is built for the KS-47 Gen2 lower specifically. Therefore, it will not work with a standard AR-15 lower. You need the matching KS-47 Gen2 lower to run this upper correctly.

PSA Gen2 KS-47 16″ Carbine-Length 7.62×39 1/10 Classic Upper With BCG & CH – TC-E Extractor means real fixes, not just a name change. So the upper includes integrated over-insertion tabs. These stop the bolt from dragging on AK magazines during cycling. Also, the barrel extension uses a single, large feed ramp. This is built to handle the wider case diameter of 7.62×39 rounds. First-gen 7.62×39 AR builds often struggled here. This upper addresses it directly.

What’s the barrel actually built from?

4150 chrome moly vanadium steel, nitride treated. So you get a durable, accuracy-focused barrel. Also, nitride treatment improves wear resistance over the life of the barrel. The barrel is 16 inches, mid-weight profile, with a carbine-length gas system. Twist rate is 1 in 10, matched to 7.62×39 bullet weights. Muzzle thread is 5/8-24, finished with an A2-style compensator.

What’s included with the BCG?

The PSA Gen2 KS-47 16″ Carbine-Length 7.62×39 1/10 Classic Upper With BCG & CH – TC-E Extractor carrier group ships with this upper. So you don’t need to source a separate BCG. This carrier features the Toolcraft Enhanced extractor. Therefore, you get improved extraction reliability over earlier extractor designs. Bolt steel is Carpenter 158, the same proven steel used in mil-spec AR bolts.

Who is this upper best for?

This fits AK shooters who want AR ergonomics. So if you like AK magazines and ammo costs, but want AR-style controls and accessories, this upper delivers that. Also good for KS-47 owners upgrading from Gen1, or builders replacing a worn upper on their existing Gen2 lower.
