i would say in an AR platform, 6.8 delivers more power, more range, better ballistics, and is reliable in the forum, the 7.62x39mm ammo is cheaper to fire and provides sufficient performance out to 300 or so yards, but doesnt feed well due to the caper of the case.. HOWEVER, something like an AR47 lower receiver allows AK47 magazines to be used for more reliable feeding in the rifle, and i recon with a little skill someone could convert an AR15 lower to an AR47 lower and use AK banana mags for reliable feeding if you really wanted an x39 in an AR15

in a standard AR15 though, the 6.8 will function so much better hands down
