I read a review the other day for an AR in 7.62 x 39, and I would like to get some of your opinions on something that was mentioned. Basically, the guy said that he was having some feed issues. He claimed the issue was due to the M4 feed ramps in the upper. He took a dremel and cut down the little divider on the m4 feed ramp and made the feed ramp smooth, and claimed this solved his feed issue. Is there any truth to this?

7.62 x 39 AR Reliability question

Absolute truth. I have 2 (rifle and pistol), both of the feed ramps had to be smoothed out.
I have a buddy/neighbor/also a ODTer that did it for me. 7.5" barrel.
I have a 762x39 AR as well with an 18" barrel. Have not fired it yet. I will on Friday and report back
Is it an AR47 upper/barrel w/o the M4 feed ramps? I have never seen one of their AR47s to know if they have the M4 ramps or not?
This is a common issue. They make better magazines now, and yes it helps to massage the feed ramps and magazines.
Just one of the issues when you Frankenstein an Ar to digest ak rounds. 30 caliber rounds are wicked at close range out of a pistol. Ak rounds are also cheaper. It is the process of tuning it and making it reliable that makes it interesting. You learn stuff and understand your weapon better.
Want one that runs straight out of the box? Buy one all put together.
