>>62834068Fuck ugly wood furniture, embrace modernity.
I fully expected the collapse of KUSA but I'm still a little disappointed about it because for a brief moment it looked like KUSA was the chosen one. Will any American AK-47 manufacturer ever make AK's correctly?
>>62829931Anyone knows what parts are these on that gun? Doesn't seem like an original Nork gun, and a Sork blog seems to say that this is a civilian gun, so I guess this is some sort of an imitation.
>>62834234>filenameIt's a kit bash with a PPSh stock
>>62834262Not a ppsh, a pps-43 stock.
>>62834234Its a screw built gun with a pps-43 stock mounted. The handguard is an amd-65. The barrel shroud and gas tube look to be custom made. There was a very small run of "ppsh" AKs built by someone but this doesn't look like one of those
>>62833830thats fine
>>62834105Riley seems to be headed in the right direction. PSA refuses to.
>>62835036>Riley seems to be headed in the right direction. PSA refuses to.what are you reasons for thinking this?
First for saiga
good morning
Anyone attest to issues with the 7.62 Jacks? I've heard the barrels are bad and people are having them group 10moa. And do they share the firing pin issues as well, or is that limited to the 5.56 ones?
>>62834105Maybe with orange man and the republicans winning the election and already trying to normalize our relationship with Russia, there's a slim chance we'll be able to get Saigas, Zenitco, and cheap ammo again.
>>62834105PSA gf3 is g2g
I bought a Zenitcope DTK2 from PSA and it doesnt line up as it should on my SLR. Would it be retarded to cut a notch for the detent pin in the appropriate spot?
>>62836614its cool. Not like its a real one. Dremel a slot in there and then paint over it will black sharpie lol. Thats 100% what I would do
>>62835188It's not even the first Saiga in this thread
Thinking of biting the bullet and getting the Sureshot fixed stock M4 stock adapter and their AK-12 clone stock. Worth it for $180?
>>62836666I have the stock and it's alright. Only worth it if you really like the aesthetic, otherwise Magpul is king for a reason.
>>62836649First for izmash ?
>>62836772Nope, see second reply >>62834100
>>62835041Not that anon but Riley seems to care about making good quality ak's. PSA is now finally rumored to doing swell neck rivets and dimpled receivers. Psa ak 101 seems to have an akm front trunnion with a 74 pattern bolt and in general their 101 has reliability issues. Apparently riley is making a 5.56 gun so they may be put best shot at kr101 equivalent.
Best AR stock with cheek riser compatibility?(for an AK)
>>62836666Their stock adapter is nice mr quads man.
>>62836666Salsa on the AK-9 handguard.
>>62836666Is that a Jack?
Got the sar-1 sighted in today. Gonna go get it threaded on tuesday.
>>62837392Magpul CTR
>>62834182Gorgeous
>>62836006haven't heard of that first problem, but the firing pin problem is definitely only limited to the 5.56 ones
Using the Krink in a 2-gun match soon, should be fun. :^
For a side mount for a prism scope should I go full rail or a "rear bias"? Full rail would give me more real estate but with the limited eye relief of prisms it would probably be wasted, and a rear bias would be lighter. I guess i can tape a scope dust cover to see where I would need to place it?
>>62838347Rear bias. There’s no point adding the weight of the full rail when you’re not using the front part.
>>62838082Shit the 5.56 jacks have a firi g pin problem? What the issue?
>>62838439breaks with low round counts, reports of snapping in 1k-2k round counts in new rifles.
>>62838496was this ever a thing that happened to multiple people or just to one person and now it's a meme?
>>62838561forced meme that exists only in /akg/ some wannabe gun tuber tried making that his claim to fame and shilled his shit here for months
>>62838082Has it held up to heavy use? I'm skeptical of the WBP guns.>>62838439>>62838561Apparently while they're using the proper AKM bolts for their 7.52 rifles, they designed their own 5.56 bolts leading to this issue is what I heard. Back on the accuracy thing, I also know a guy with a Jack that can't group, and saw a bunch of online reports of Jacks not grouping.
>>62838656>I know a guy>"online reports" may we see them?

>>62839933Finally a fellow AK poster
How hard is it to have a good builder turn down a standard 16" AKM 23mm trunnion barrel into a 102/104/105 length SBR 12.5" barrel?Any suggestions for a upgraded safety selector for an ambidextrous safety VEPR 12?>>62834105It really is ridiculous that no one seems to be able to get their shit together with US made AKs. I think it says a lot that the best quality AKs are made by small "named" builders. Jim Fuller, Rifle Dynamics, Two Rivers, and countless other small "builders". The nature of craftsmanship and true gunsmithing involved in AK production means that without an attention to detail and process on an individual level, the firearm won't be durable and reliable to the extent that a true killing tool ought to be. When individuals and small businesses have their livelihood on the line, then we see good AKs getting produced. The moment that the risk is dispersed and the cost of failure externalized from the builder themselves, as is the case with PSA, KUSA, Riley etc, that is when quality seems to shit the bed. It is a wonder that original European AKs were built to the standard that they were, in the numbers that they were. Something something about demographic shift US stateside perhaps. Maybe the reason why companies like KUSA and PSA and Riley can't make a quality AK is the same reason democracy fails. >>62835188Sick. >>62836666I like wire folders personally. >>62837295>riley is making a 5.56 gun102 length or full length rifle?Fucking hell it is going to be a nitrided barrel of course. Has Riley EVER done any CHF CL barrels?>>62839541Saved
>>62837707Is that a Zenit rail or a Turk one?
Balanced Automatic Recoil System, useful or just a gimmick?
>>62840659Doesn't justify the added costs. Maybe you could keep a few rifles around for really high speed direct action people but the average ground pounder/conscript wont get much use out of it.
>>62840497its zenit
>>62840986tfw no B-10 rail ;_;
>>62837295>Riley making a 5.56 AKbig if true
Having way too much fun with this
>>62834068Is there a legit way apart from the second hand market to get an AK12 kit at the moment?
>>62841553There is no legitimate way. You have to buy a parts kit and have someone build it for you or hope someone is selling one.
>>62841491mine comes to my ffl this week. I'm hyped
>>62841935It's a blast, literally.
>>62841553Be European
>>62841029Unlike most of the "I got inside knawledge but can't say anything hee hee hoo hoo" crowd I prefer to post straight from the horses mouth. If only kusa or arsenal weren't ran by fucking retards, we'd have proper 101 clones. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB4SDTUSv9b/?igsh=MTByc3lkZTc3aW5mNw==

>>62842931>being this assmad over someone not paying his boomer tax on his "ultra rare" krink parts kit that's been rusiting in his garage since 2011.
>>62842931NTA but as much as I like the reeldeel(tm) shit the krinkov market these days is pants on head retarded and literally nobody thinks paying $3500 for a fucking Bulgarian kit is sane, so if the PSA scratches the itch and doesn't blow up, fuck it. I can't judge anyone anymore under the current market. Can't speak on the MP5 but I've heard the Turkish clones are solid.
>>62842931>>62842975>defending PSAshitthis general is cooked lmfao.
>>62842995Apparently agoodenough gunner has 2k on his, I legit am curious about gettung one after I get a beryl.
>>62843007Nigga the ak market is cooked. Kusa shit the bed, pioneer shit the bed, beryls are gonna be gone, and cugir wants to charge more. Unironically the future of the ak market will be domestic made rifles unless Trump reverses Russian sanctions.
>>62843007I'm sure you meant to quote me but your fat thumb slipped and missed on your phone screen. Hate it all you want but krinks are absolute skullfucked now and the only options for one are>$3500 milled underfolder SAS-M7s....in 7.62x39(lol)>$3500 dregs of the Bulgarian kits that were likely passed over all these years for a reason until now>$4000 SLR-106URs that show up once or twice a yearNo shit I won't scoff at someone not wanting to get bent over for something as memerific as a krinkov, cool as they are. It's absolutely highway robbery.
>>62843048>$4000 SLR-106URsjust bought one last week for 2k
Where to find pioneer 556 firing pin pls help Beryl pins are gone
>>62838656I have seen way more people complain about PSA and beryl shit breaking than 5.56 WBP
>>62843084I have bad news for you
>>62842030>>62841491>>62841935300blk or 5.56?How is it holding up? Round count?
I'm purchasing this shit next month.
>>62842995>I've heard the Turkish clones are solidMy Z5RS is a champ
>>62840439>can't make a quality AK is the same reason democracy failsIs it because people are retarded?
>>62841491What are some way to identify if it is a PSA Krink? I just assumed it to be a Russian.
>>62840659Would be useful in 7.62x39 models>>62840720Of course they would you dumb dumb
>>62844602>not a Vityaz copySave your money
>>62844852uhhhm no
>>62845913That's a long gas tube.
>>62845930Its a counter balance housing
Figured this might be the best place to ask since it seems like a russian made accessory. Has anyone seen this before? Its supposed to be a cover rail mount for a PKM made in belarus. I have been looking for any information beside what the seller told me about.
>>62846603Post PKM pls
>>62846640Still waiting on it to be finished. heres a link loader and 3 pkm ammo cans
>>62846696Nice. I went looking and couldn't find anything aside from ZenitCo stuff for PKMs. Sorry anon.Post it when it's finished.
>>62844885>not a Vityaz copyI don't really want one. We got two options here : either original Saiga 9, but since the war they're virtually gone and the last remnant on the market are from fucking scumbags reselling them for three times their original worth (nah, i'm not paying $2K for a stamped sheet of metal firing 9mm) OR since gun shops understood that they had no other choices : KUSA versions. And i don't NOT paying the amount they ask for them in Switzerland either. Not to mention the cost of magazines.No really, i've been looking left and right, and what seems to be called a "Draco 9s" under your latitudes seems to be pretty much considered a fun, reliable 9mm AK.
>>62836013zenitco and russian ammo yes. saigas probably not. nu-saigas are psa tier anyways.
>>62848234>nu-saigas are psa tier anywaysNow that's what I call cope
What torque/ft-lbs should I use for a thread adaptor to mount a muzzle device for a suppressor? I don't want to rely entirely on Rocksett because Murphy's Law. I know it's very frowned upon due to tolerance stacking, but let's assume a near-perfect world, because in a perfect world the muzzle device would not be "out of stock" nearly a year at this point.
>>62848234>nu-saigas are psa tier anyways.copeman
>>62848994The manufacturer should specify it. Also try with blue Loctite before Rocksett, with proper torque it should be just fine. Far easier to remove and maintain than fucking Rocksett. Otherwise 30-40Nm is usually a good value. Which is 22.127 ft-lbs to 29.502 ft-lbs. Do NOT overtorque.
>>62848234>nu-saigas are psa tier anyways.Got a sauce for this claim, or are you just memeing because they're made in India now and Russia is most likely using jeet MIM parts?
>>62851103>SIG is shit because it's made in India>BUT SAIGAS ARE COMPLETELY FINE, INDIA IS OUR GREATEST ALLYlmao the cope
Ree why can't PSA make actual quality firearms. I like the 300blk Krink a lot but typical PSA build quality concerns and the lack of a CHF CL barrel really sour the $1200 price tag. >>62848200I pick up my VEPR 12 tomorrow. Stoked.
>>62842931If they work then what's the fucking issue?
>>62848234Lmfao
>>62851103>>62851649Made in India saiga? India can't even make a cope ak see the insas
>>62852148They recently bought the loicense to produce the AK-203 from Kalashnikov Concern.https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/indo-russian-joint-venture-has-delivered-35000-ak-203-assault-rifles-to-mod-rostec/article68370257.ece
>>62852222CHECKEDHow many shits will be in the PR photos for their first created AK-203?
>>62852127>I pick up my VEPR 12 tomorrowWhat mags you going with?Since you're poor I'm guessing not factory 10 rounders. Are Pufgun V12 mags still around or did they get banned too?
>>62852509Actually gonna just run factory ones. It comes with a single 5 rounder, and I've already got the 3 mag factory set from KVAR that comes with 1x five rounder, 1x eight rounder, and 1x 10 rounder. Yours looks great. I like the booster muzzle device lol. Any suggestions for how to get the safety selector to work more smoothly? Usual selector bending procedure? Any decent ambi aftermarket safety selectors? I don't like the tab on the right side, it rubs my index finger. How haram would it be to grind that nub off then weld or cut and bend a shelf/nub in the usual spot that most "enhanced" AK safety selectors have the shelf/nub?
>>62852797>Yours looks greatThanks, it's not mine. I do have one though.>>62852797>Any suggestions for how to get the safety selector to work more smoothly? Usual selector bending procedure? Any decent ambi aftermarket safety selectors?Yeah, use it. Otherwise no, it's perfect as is. At least for me.>I don't like the tab on the right side, it rubs my index fingerHow do you know if you don't have it yet? Rubs your index finger? Are you wrong handed? >How haram would it be to grind that nub off then weld or cut and bend a shelf/nub in the usual spot that most "enhanced" AK safety selectors have the shelf/nub?Jesus H, how bout you get it and put 1k shells through it before changing it all up and then bitching that it now doesn't work? Fucks sake wugs.I will say, get at least a choke. I use a SGM modified choke personally.
>>62853255NM has a 7 day wait period now. I fingerfucked it when it came in, waiting on the transfer. Just holding it my index finger rubs on that nub.>put 1k shellsI've put over 2k over 00 buck through the two Chinese S12 clones I've got, and probably another 3-4k combined through other AK builds, and I'm pretty confident that for me at least the most ergonomic AK safety selector type is the standard typical Krebs/Armacon style with the the platform ledge about midway up the selector lever. This PSA one has been working well on the EG build. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-custom-akm-extended-safety-lever.html>chokeYeah I need to mess with chokes for sure.
>>62853974For some reason my mind blanked on the extended lower safety shelf and was thinking of the left side selector. My bad.As for aftermarket safeties; since it does have the left side selector and it's kind of a pain to fuck with, I never looked very far into replacing it.I personally try not to permanently modify guns, so i wouldn't cut it off. Maybe try a different grip (the actual grip) or modify how you grip. Or just wear gloves and deal with it.If Nubs can, so can you.
Anyway here's my Schizo AKM build with shit I had lying around>Spent AK casing as charging handle extension>FN FAL grip>CNC Warrior Brake>Jungle-Style Bozgor Tanker setup
>>62854614Neat
>>62854614Needs more mags and shittier tapeIs that a cross brake? How do you like it?
>>62834068worth it?
>>62854951yeah but not for 1000 fuckin dollars dude
>>62854838It's a Knurled Compensator in the VZ-58 style, but that's reserved for my AK-63 rebuild alongside the FN FAL grip.
>>62854963Yeah I get that. So it's a good buy?
>>62854996no. I fully reject wasrs being over 1000 dollars in cost.
>>62855091I agree. It's what I got man, help me out
>>62854951>1000 dollar WASRWhat the fuck are they smoking
>>62855103would I be better off buying a PSA G3 then?
>>62855170no just wait until someone has them for supa cheap or wait for a cheap one to pop up on gunbroker
>>62855103inflation
>>62855170No just wait until a sale is coming, it's election time that's why there isn't a sale right now. Or just buy for cheaper here but it's still high right now. Atlantic's site is down right now so you can't see the price but check them tomorrow. Should be around $850 and that's high because of election seasonhttps://atlanticfirearms.com/wasr-10-ak47-rifle-under-folderhttps://atlanticfirearms.com/cai-ak-47-wasr-10-7-62x39mm-riflehttps://palmettostatearmory.com/century-arms-wasr10-ri1188.html
>>62854951Even today, you shouldn't be spending over $700 on a wasr. Be patient and check like local ads/newpaper/armslist shit like that.
>>62857049>>62854951It was either carolina or mrgunsandgear who had them on sale for 700-800 bucks not too long ago. Check fuddbroker too. Wasrs are still cheap there.
>>62854384This is what I'm talking about in the picture. I totally agree permanent modification is not ideal. I wonder if I can modify an aftermarket AK selector like that cheap PSA one to work with the left side VEPR ambi safety lever.I like the factory MOLOT grip with the finger grooves a lot though. We'll see.
Bepis arrived
Novus PDS-1 anon, how has the optic held up so far? I'm thinking of getting either that or a OKP-7 clone for my KP9
>>62857666No I got it. Now take it off safe where it would be when firing.Yes it's right on your hand so you can actuate it without really changing your grip, that's the point.As far as i can tell, none of the aftermarket V12 safeties will fit because of the left side switch. I think theres a "delete" kit but you still have to use the factory right side lever. Could be wrong but all the posts about changing the safety are from fixed stock versions that don't have the left side lever.But look around anyways, maybe you'll find something I missed.Do me a favor and take it out a few times and try it out before you do anything.I'm sure you're gonna want to put some GK-02 type brake on it so look for the threaded chokes. Here's Midways listing I'm sure you can find it elsewhere too.I'd get the modified myself. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/3302667361?pid=667361If you like the slotted FH those Sigma guys use CNC has some clones, 7 and 10 slot versions. Here's the 10https://www.cncwarrior.com/Saiga-12-ga-VEPR-12-ga-10-Slot-Flash-Hider-p/22984.htmYou'll want one or 2 of these to make sure shit stays out toohttps://www.cncwarrior.com/M22-x-0-75-Knurled-Jam-Nut-p/25425.htm>>62857672Am i the only one who likes and uses the cheek pad on these? Every time i see them folded over to the right well beyond the locking point, seemingly to get it out of the way.
Hi, i'm new to AK's. What does this do?
>>62858482That makes the baby AK do a number 2.
>>62858482It is the bullet thrust regulator, makes it have more thrusts per squeeze.

I'm thinking of getting my first AK. WPB fox seems nice, but are they hard to find? I'm not seeing any more than one or two listings on some sites.
>>62860217basically only available on Arms of America and Atlantic
>>62860257Gotcha.
>>62851103Russians civies don't want new saigas. They only want older saigas or even older AKs. The new ones have a terrible reputation for shoddy quality. I didn't even know they were made in India but it wouldn't be surprising.
>>62860336Saigas themselves aren’t made in India, but India builds the AK-203 domestically, and a lot of people suspect they’re making MIM parts to send back to Russia like they do for Sig in the USA.
>>62859388Based Ed Nash enjoyer
>>62848234>nu-saigas are psa tier anyways.lmao
>>62859419You may have spoken too soon, pic related>>62858279Yeah in the off safe position it is very comfy. I messed with it some more and I think I can get use to the operation. >do me a favorYeah absolutely, I'm going to really to try restrain myself for turning this very nice gun into an abortion. After messing with the safety a bit more I think I can get used to its actuation. You use the index finger and entire hand in a knife hand manner to sweep the right side lower extended lever platform upwards to take the safety off, then use just the index finger pushing down on said platform nub to turn the safety on. Honestly the left hand manipulation of the safety selector setup I prefer because it is much more akin to operating a left hand ambidextrous AR safety selector. >GK-02 type brakeI want to SBS and chop it to 14" or so and put a JK 195 Versax can on there actually. Thanks for the suggestions though on the brakes. >cheek padI sorta like it, as you said I need to run the gun some more to actually decide.

>>62861927Yeah, have to work tonight and tomorrow night, ready for the weekend. Hopefully my Beryl ships in the next couple days.
>>62862125I just have to reiterate, the build quality on this MOLOT is really something. Everything numbers matching... really says a lot about the craftsmanship and hand fitting that goes on for these sorts of guns. I'll do my best not to bugger it up. >SBSs are a memeYeah sorta, I can see that now. I chopped one of those Chinese S12 clones and now I gotta weld a barrel extension back on to sell it. >>62862125>not terribleEh, I would reserve judgment, I managed to crack the bakelite in a few places. We'll see how it holds up.
>>62860336The only meme image I have seen about this only concerned Saigas sold in Russia IIRCMaybe they're just fucking themselves over because I haven't heard complaints from Europe. Mine was made in Sep 2020 and it looks a little wonky if you really look at it, but it's the most accurate AK i have ever shot
>>62862258>Eh, I would reserve judgment, I managed to crack the bakelite in a few places. We'll see how it holds up.Should've "reconditioned" it before cutting on it. But that would've taken a long time and been a fairly laborous process if you really wanted it to be "restored". And it still may have cracked.Seems like a waste when you just slotted it for a mlock section.Still, not too bad. And it doesn't look odd or too out of place either.

Could an AK shotgun be converted into a rifle with an upper swap? Palmetto State armory sells assemblies for it. Though I Don't know about the mag well...Asking for a friend anyway, I got a WASR
>>62864583With tons of effort, no.
>>62864592I totally understand, I've seen that not even AK binary triggers work with the AK shotgun platform.. By any chance do you know why? Or what's the difference?

>>62864626For an AK you don't just swap an upper. The receiver is already setup to work with the larger 12 gauge mags. Even if you figured out how to make the receiver accommodate something smaller you're also swapping out literally everything else except the trigger and grip I guess.. Not happening, AKs aren't like ARs.
>>62864692Thanks bud, I gotcha. For everyone else itt suck my fuckin dick
>>62864692>Even if you figured out how to make the receiver accommodate something smaller you're also swapping out literally everything else except the triggerAlso before any of you guys get uppity, just know they sell these for ARs too.

Personally I wouldn't run that German bake furniture because when you drop it on a rock or concrete it will chip and flake. I would have opted for a TDI lower handguard, it's mlok and one of the lightest if not the lightest lower HG as well as being vented to aid in cooling. Get the USB cap for your light, it gives near full output versus all the other switches, those crane style plugs make lights look like they've got failing batteries. Also get the flash cap front end for your sandman.
>>62862698Interestingly enough it wasn't the end mill bits that cracked it, but rather the stress I put on it jigging it up in the vise, and the stress put on it when I tightened the panels in place and squeezed the barrel in between the backing nuts. But yeah thanks, the idea was so that I could pull accessories off and still basically keep the EG look, and so that I could have the accessories on, the light and pressure pad, and keep the EG look. >>62864998Very aesthetic >>62865191Yeah I just kept the east german lower handguard because I like the look. I have the USB C gas cap setup on my AR. I just got it, trying it out still, but it seems decent from initial inspection. The Sandman does have the 30cal FH end cap.
>>62865318>I have the USB C gas cap setup on my AR. I just got it, trying it out still, but it seems decent from initial inspectionIt's great stuff, because it also retains the tail switch, so when you change shoulders you can hit it with your other thumb. Very nice AK, I like it.
>>62865336Thanks a ton man, I plan to run it a fair bit. I got an M340V for it also to run it under NVGs. It was built using a FN CHF CL barrel too. I'm interested in the PSA 300blk Krink but absolutely incensed that PSA still can't be bothered to put CHF CL barrels in their stuff and get their built quality up to par.
>>62865621>It was built using a FN CHF CL barrel too.Like I said, redeemed.I also want one of those PSA 300 krinks, but I have questions about the DI system they're using. They say it will work with supers and subs, but what subs?
Any obzor bros in here?
>>62863967Depends the situation really. My suppressor wasn't a facemount (unlike JMAC) and didn't used the muzzle face itself but the FSB. So i took a mill smooth file and shaved an extremely minimal amount of metal where the bias happened. Impossible to mess the crown up since we're not dealing with the barrel. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Even if you did had a case of facemount and therefore the barrel / muzzle face itself, grab a tiny ass file and gently file the face of the muzzle (in most cases of bad alignment it's a just a very small hotspot, you don't need to file much) and you're good to go. It's virtually impossible to mess the crown up by doing that except if you're a fucking gorilla. The crown doesn't magically extend past the muzzle face like some kind of ladder lmao.
>>62865636I'm actually not too concerned with their forward and back gas routing system, so long as all those additional components, the AR gas block and the gas tube, are properly secured. My concerns with the PSA 300blk are the lack of a CHF CL barrel, and the overall long term reliability and longevity of the gun. I want real AK longevity, meaning a 60k-120k rifle. Not some bullshit 1k-3k round lifetime. That being said I'm actually pretty confident that PSA got the gassing right, especially with a can. It isn't too difficult to do a single parameter (gas port diameter) optimization to get the gun to run reliably both supers and subs, even a wide variety of subs. I'm more concerned with the metallurgy and parts component fitment and those things that go into getting an AK to run like a top for multiple tens of thousands of rounds, vs 1k or 3k before giving up the ghost. But fuck bro a shorty folder Krink in 300blk... And maybe that new Kono trigger.... Would be sick
>>62866138Anon says he shaved the muzzle face. In your pic you shaved the FSB thread extension
>>62866842Correct. But as i specified even if you had a muzzle face situation i don't see how filing a little amount of metal off said muzzle FACE would fuck up the crown. Really, i don't.
>>62866921I should add : we're not talking about filing the entire muzzle face and making it shiny, let's say you have a bias with the align. rod at 3 o'clock, you file the muzzle face a bit at 3 o'clock to remove the (more than likely) spot throwing the alignment off and boom you're back in business. In a way it's a bit similar to lapping an upper, except you're doing it in a far more precise and light manner. I don't understand your concerns about the crown in such context.
Is Brandon "the AK guy" Herrera actually ballsy enough to buy ads on 4chan or is someone just doing a little trolling?Either way, everyone knows Adam Kraut should be ATF director.

opinions on the putnik? thinking of barrel chopping my 7.62 beryl and doing a pin and weld with a hub mount, bringing it down near beryl commando length. might be stupid but also might consider adding a combo block
>>62834105because /akg/ is full of contrarian reddit tourists that refuse to acknowledge robski's PSAK torture tests or that it's been 4 years since the last psa shitshow while KUSA has been putting out saiganades within the last 8months.

>>62869788I think its great but I only got like 300 rounds through it at the moment

>>62874237wouldn't the sticker start burning ?
>>62868010>>62868014>>62868031The campaign he ran proves he has money or can get money, so buying ads here would actually just be a sensible step if he really wants to be ATF director. And why wouldn't he?
>>62875360No one here shoots their guns
>>62875360He will need to shoot the suppressor to the point where it gets red hot. Suppressor sill start to glow under nods (depending on the suppressor) around 30-60 rounds. However, I don't think it will be too hot at that point quite yet to burn that sticker. So he would have to shoot the suppressor for a couple hundred rounds to destroy that sticker.
>>62875215What's that extra rod on the side?
>>62876426bipod

>>62876848How many rounds in the psa krink? I want to get one or get the riley 5.56 krink that's coming out.
>>62878306About 600, going to put it through a 2-gun match coming up with a healthy round count so that'll be a solid stress test I think. No issues so far, the usual shit associated with the PSA 5.56 AKs (misclocked barrel, extractor deformation, trunnion peening, lug wear) haven't shown up so far. I'm keeping an eye on things in the mean time, I don't have the trust for it like I do with my tranny PSA AKS-74.

>>62879824Only thing I found in a video is since there are variances with 3d printing, it will probably come in heavier than the 14.4 ounces. May not be the most weight conscious choice but at the end of the day you do get something more durable.
>>62879824Yeah this guy is a gigantic faggot, but if you skip through the video you'll see him put it on a scale with a rearden mount and even shoot it under NODs. Seems decent enough for a flow through. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFdGX_rYZCk

>>62880352>>62878510This is why general threads suck and were a huge mistake in 4chan's history. The strength of the BBS format is that unlike a forum, the threads get deleted eventually, so there should only be threads for things which are of current interest and continued interest. Only things of interest that have more discussion to generate can survive, and there is constant renewal. The general thread subverts this structure by keeping a zombie thread alive even when there's little/no interest. They don't even serve the purpose the advocates originally defended them with, that they concentrate discussion of hot topics, since generally with any new event ten new threads get made about it anyway. All it does is create crusty non-dynamic chatrooms full of people making duty posts to keep the thread alive. Most general threads could be replaced with a locked sticky post for any questions that get repeated enough to get annoying.I lost this argument 15 years ago now I think, but I still gnaw the bone every once in a while.

Removing the scraps of baked paint from this receiver, wish there was a chemical I could apply that would make removal much quicker, cleaner and easier. Do I even need to give a shit about the scratches I leave behind on it?
>>62880991>wish there was a chemical I could apply that would make removal much quicker, cleaner and easiern4atw
>post a couple pics of an AK in the general dedicated to AKs>this is a very bad thing and indicative of board degradation Whoa dude that's *crazy*.Anyways, krink did great in the match and PSA's rear sight is, shockingly, actually properly configured for the battle/4-500m elevations, since I could lollipop at 25 with the battle setting and hit dead on at 400 at the 4-500m setting. Still no signs of the peening/wear I'm worried about, but it was only about 300 rounds today, so rounds cound isn't quite at 1k just yet. Everything I've seen of the well-documented 5.56 AK issues has them popping up by now, so maybe this one's in the clear. There is certainly some trigger slap though.
>>62881019Does it work wonders on baked appliance epoxy, and do I need to give a shit about these scratches in terms of receiver integrity?
My saiga suffers from trigger slap.should i dremell of part of the disconector as youtube tells me ?

>>62834068Im building a romanian MD94 and i dont wanna SBR it. Does anyone make folding pistol braces for fixed stock AKs that arent insanely gay?

Any suggestions?

>>62881209>>62880991>>62881209Guy from last thread? How'd you fuck up? No the scratches wont do any thing besides make it ugly. Use chemical stripper like the other nigga told you. You can also use scotch brite or brillo pads. Let it soak them go to town with these
>>62880991I see the dremel box anon. DONT DO IT. DO NOT USE A SANDING DRUMif you must get a wirewheel attachment. Will speed things up and it wont RAPE THE SHIT OUT of your gun
>>62882869all of those are gay, at least for the build im going for. Ive landed on just pin/welding an extended 4 piece flash hider since I was gunna use one anyway and the extra inch on the extended one isnt a big deal to me.
>>62880031>>62880134Sweet dude thanks a ton, yeah this seems like a decent contender. It is crazy just how many suppressor companies there are out there these days. >>62881173Are you shooting unsuppressed supers or?What do you mean that there is some trigger slap?

>>62885399As long as the overall quality in within spitting distance of each other, than I could go with the SLR. Having a true Russian AK has its appeals though.

>>62886304I couldn’t find it for mine and I believe (don’t quote me on this) there is a welded pin in place that was then ground flush with the rest of the bolt carrier so it would be tough to find. I just bought a WBP carrier with out piston and put my KNS on that.
