I built an AR 7.62x39 with a 16” stainless BCA barrel and it’s one of my favorite guns to shoot and hunt with. Hogs hate it. Only issue is magazines. Make sure you get a quality 7.62x39 mag or you’ll have feeding issues.

I shoot suppressed Hornady Sub-X subsonic 255 grain loads out of a 10.5" barrel in mine...quiet, and thumps. Deer and hogs hate it.
100 yards and under, obviously. Falls off a table after that.
And yes...mags can be an issue. C-Products Duramags usually work well. There is a magazine called the Unimag that will pretty much feed any AR-15 round, and I like it a lot for 7.62x39 in an AR. More expensive, but it flat out works, and is versatile.

Do some research on Radical Firearms AR’s before you pursue that “good deal”

Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22

I actually like some of the diamondback AR’s better. They’re not much higher. I’m gonna stick with 10 round mags fyi, if that helps. I don’t like mags sticking way down.

I have a 7.62 Ruger American and have shot a few deer with it. Its not a .308 but it has low recoil and works well at 100 yds or less as stated above, Mine likes good ammo like Hornady Black with SST bullets. Great caliber for a small food plot rifle and for ladies and kids since the recoil/blast is low but you are still shooting a .30 cal bullet. Entry holes kills them but exit holes finds them!

Do some research on Radical Firearms AR’s before you pursue that “good deal” x2. Don’t do it. Interweb says they got the bugs worked out and theyre better now. Ive never seen one but what can you expect for $400? I dont shoot all that much. For me, i reckon it would look just about as good as the one for $1200 sitting in the gunsafe.

Build your own or buy a Bear Creek Arsenal. I've fixed too many flucked up Radicals.
