Its not that you can't use a .45 in PCC because you can. But why would you? There is no Major caliber load in PCC so a 9mm gives you higher capacity mags, lower recoil, shoots flatter, and more rapid follow-up shots. Although maybe when using the PCC in 3-gun it might be different. You can also use .40, 357 Sig, and 10mm in PCC.HD? PCC?
Why not? Lots of people getting into PCCs.
Why are we discussing a two year old thread, lol?Its not that you can't use a .45 in PCC because you can. But why would you?

I came across this home made AR-9 when I was traveling overseas.
Every part was hand made ( except for the plastic grips). The frame was cast from aluminum soda cans. All the other parts were made of heat treated steel. It’s a direct blowback ,selective fire smg.
Required parts
1) 7.62x39 upper
2) 7.62x39 bolt head and firing pin
3) Fully shrouded M16 bolt carrier
4) 9mm buffer
Notes:
- Cheaper bolt carrier groups will not get enough penetration for some cheaper types of ammo. A dedicated 7.62x39 bolt head and pin should fix this issue.
- "Good magazines are also important for 7.62x39 ARs. CProducts is generally known to make good 7.62x39 AR mags. I have multibple of both 10 round and 30 CProducts mags and they work great in my AR. I do not have any other types of mags, but I have heard that not all work as well." - JKrew

Standard NFA requirements for rifle/carbine, 16" barrel.
Under 16", no NFA stamp? No stock.
It never took off because it doesn't really offer anything special that .300AAC doesn't already have. Yeah, it's got about 20% more case capacity; that's not really a game changer.I found out about the 7.62x40 WT recently, despite the fact it has been around since 2011. A shame that it has not really taken off because it seems to meet my specific needs. A "medium power" .30 caliber on the AR platform that seems to require nothing else but a .30 caliber barrel.
If only the ammo was cheaper. I guess you can't have everything.

Nope. It's basically 7.62x39 in supersonic mode. It's supposed to be dual-use or whatever. IMHO, you want to go super-sonic, 6.5 Grendel is where it's at on the AR platform.From what I understand, the .300AAC was designed to be a sub-sonic load.
