How much 7.62x39 is enough?
>>64573855If you're shooting even somewhat regularly, it's never enough.>So, n+1.
>>64573855At least 20K rounds if you shoot regularly. Less if you don't.
>>64573855Whatever amount you shoot in total every year(don't lie to yourself on this) plus 1 or 2 1000rd cases as a buffer.
I have about 200 rounds :(
I feel like 2020 was yesterday bros
How likely is it that I'll be accused of being a leftist if I buy an AK? I'm not one and I don't want to get shit for it at the range.
>>64575091Did you just watch the recent Jim Fuller interview/podcast or something? At one point he talked about how boomers would give people shit back in the 80s for bringing AKs to the range. Nobody cares now. Even if they did, boomers have proven themselves to be the one of the most incompetent generations with firearms in general, so who cares, fuck them. Also, I'd bet the average commie has an AR.
>>64575091Commies can't afford good AKs anymore, so unless you shoot US made shit, you're fine. Besides, the AK has killed more communists than any other weapon.
>>64575444Nice digits. Kinda wish the ribbed top cover had taken hold. It's very aesthetic.
One of my PodArms 5.56 followers took a big dookie in a Tula plum mag and the broken pieces tried chambering themselves. Doesn't even matter because it still works kek

>>64575091Unlikely. AK doesn't have the political weight/symbolism that it once did it terms of revolution. I've brought AKs to range tons of times and no has bothered me about it. At this point, the gun is an ideologically neutral symbol. You see it everywhere from extreme left wing and right wing groups. If anything, these days most countries producing AKs are socially and (often) economically conservative.>>64575127>Also, I'd bet the average commie has an ARThis has also been my observation. Commies often live in poverty and are low IQ/mentally impaired (unironically) enough to promote the ideology that keeps them in poverty, so this shouldn't be a big surprise. Radicals and ATIs can be had for <$450, where as the low end of AK price range is about $750, plus x39 is more expensive per round, be it 7.62 or 5.45.
took a pic with my wasr10/63 with my newly acquired aks 74 that I picked up on Monday, how's the telaammo situation? I know early imports were corrosive, but what about newer batches? saw that one video that his new batch was good

What's your guys favorite pouch/placard/chestrig for AK mags?
>>64576732They didn't put the hole in the side folder button because it was modeled off an airsoft gun.
>>64577167SOE AK/M4 micro rig personally.
Anyone know anything about the Sotac Klesch lights? I've seen a Sotac ZenitCo Klesch-2P floating around and I'm really wanting one of those with the gooseneck mount for a future build. I think the under barrel mount looks neat. I know their Perst-4 clones are decent if potted but what about the flashlights? Part of me is kinda like "Well, it's a flashlight what could really go wrong?" Should I just attempt to find an authentic ZenitCo light and mount? I know its already pretty crazy to find ZenitCo stuff like that and the shipping itself it a big risk if its already not in the USA, which is partly why I'm willing to entertain a clone for something like this. Is it even worth it? Are there any recommended alternatives?
>>64575091>actually caring what other people think
>>64578588dont waste your money hoss, the ebay china clones are almost a 1-1 clone of zenitcope
Zastava has secured an exemption on their end to export civilian guns. Prices set to rise still because of state side shenanigans. But at least they're coming back in again.
>>64578952That's really good news. Sad about the price, but I do think the modern Zastavas are really nice, maybe as good as the old Veprs.
>>64578952I was surprised to see that they announced this today, I was just thinking about it. Though, with Zastava being so large for the US AK market, why have they not capitalized on it by producing more interesting stuff? I would Buy an M82 and especially an M84.
>>64573822What's the best quad stack mag?
>>64578924Thanks. I may consider that. Yeah, seems like the pricing for legitimate items is more of just based on the company itself and the scarcity in the USA market because honestly it's not even worth it. Now the only trouble is finding a clone dealer for that specific item stateside to avoid tariffs.
>>64578995M82 has a good chance of soon(tm). We'll see how shot goes.But every new non AK would require them to set up entire new lines and methods at their IL facility for conversation for probably very little demand. All the other non AKs they bring in don't require any work.Handguns just come in.M91 and M93 both meet sporting import requirements and don't need any modifications.The rest of their line up is AKs.All the rifles use the same jigs for conversation, or are ak pistols and don't need to be converted.
>>64579193Man I fucked up "conversion" multiple times. I can smell the toast.
>>64579193I just want some sort of PKM variant, Kits are unobtainable these days and fully built out ones are extremely expensive. There should be more of a market for belt-feds with FRTs being made so easy to obtain.
I spent way too much time on this.
>>64578588>>64578924>almost a 1-1 clone>that cheap-ass coax button connectorAbsolutely disgusting, neck yourself right now. >>64579014They're all shit. Pufgun claimed to have solved the follower tilt problem of the 6L31, but was demonstrated to do exactly the same AND their transparent polymer is brittle. Stich Profi has proper materials, but IDK if their stab at multi-part follower is any better than the others. Range toys, the lot of them.

>>64577204I think I'm wrong, but doesn't zenitco stocks fold on its own without using the built-in side folder mechanism? Similar to what JMAC folders use?
>>64579589What was wrong with this one?I like your grid posts, wish I had enough to warrant that.
>>64578993>maybe as good as the old Veprs.Not even close, and they look ugly with their proprietary furniture.
>>64579924For the first row, would it not be ak74m?
>>64580203M is with folding solid stock. That has unfolding stock.
>>64579924Wrong on the first rifle, it's not an AIMS, it's a pm md. 90, or just their Pm 63 (AKM) with a side folding stock added because those can be added to any fixed stock trunnion.4th rifle is not a chinese type 56, it's hungarian AK63D. Didn't look past the first line
>>64580149Not them, but maybe you should try not posting underage anime girls. Then maybe you could have a leg to stand on when you tell other people how to live.
>>64580298>4th rifle is not a chinese type 56, it's hungarian AK63DBut it has the Chink rivet pattern?
>>64575091How often do people with guns accuse other people with guns of being extremists where you live? I'm willing to wager it doesn't happen often. More than likely, any who would get pissed at you for having an AK would also get pissed at you for owning an AR. I
>>64575013Better than zero.
If money is no object and I want one good AK, should I buy Russian, or are the Bulgarian SLR series as good? There's an SLR107CR that I have my eye on for $2400 (less than SGL21s are going for these days).https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1138480763
>>64580399hell no it isn't "just as good." What does "one good AK" even mean? Do you want an original collector's piece? Arsenal isn't it. Money no object, go get a transferable machine gun in 7.62x39. That is the pinnacle of AKs.
>>64580399If money is no object, I would buy a nice russian parts kit and have it built by the best gunsmith I could find.
>>64580408*5.45x39
>>64580408I'm just saying that I'm willing to spend a few grand on a really nice AK that I plan to actually shoot, no collecting. So SLRs aren't as good as SGLs? What are the differences in quality?
>>64580305kys normie niggerfaggot
>>64580420they're both good
>>64580178Added some, modified some, was time for an updated pic. Will hopefully be updating the new grid image once $0 tax stamps go into effect.
>>64576549Atlantic firearms is running a sale for 1500 rounds of 5.45 for around 45cpr. Im considering finally picking up aks-74 as well, seems like now would be the time. Personally I would assume corrosive and just clean your damn guns. corrosive isn't that bad just flush the barrel.
>>64577204probably, but he could have built or bought a homebuilt krink on an ak74 receiver kit
>>64580420>I'm willing to spend a few grand on a really nice AK that I plan to actually shoot, no collecting.Don't spend more than $2k on an AK if you don't care about collecting.
Does anyone one have any of these kind of "mag bags" they could measure for me?
>>64582276lay it down on a piece of paper and measure
>>64582288I know how big mags are, but the bags are obviously larger. I'm already leaning towards 4x10 for 30s and 4x14 for 40s but I was hoping for some confirmation before I buy.
>>64579589can i get the uhhhh number 16 with the extra cosmoline
Does /akg/ like zenitco'd or wood with dong more ?
>>64583272woodif i see a fully donked zenit ak i immediately assume its airsoft
>>64583310What about fiddy fiddy?
>>64583272Trick question
>>64580234omg, for the longest time I thought M stood for modernized variant of the 74.
>>64583272Hear me out.... a PT5 stock , and a dong. Yeah??? Yeah??????
>>64583548Anyone know the going rate on a pt5 right now?
>>64583563yeah i see them go for a downpayment on a hyundai elantra N
>>64583580Think I might sell mine and just put a woody back on. They're cool but fully decked made it way heavier than my others
Why did they abruptly raise the price of these almost 400$
>>64583547It is. Modernized with a side rail and a folding solid stock.>AK74solid stock>AKS74folding skeleton stock>AK74N74 with side rail>AK74Mall above in one rifle
>>64583604I think the tariffs took effect.
You all itt are so gay. Post AKs
Almost 100 and like 5 AKs
>>64583855>basic and fugly
>>64583689ahh, so the AKM (762x49) is the exception that is also modernized but not folding.
>>64583888
>>64583902Well MPiKMS-72 is AKM that is folding, but with AKM reciever.
>>64583930very base. Nice rifle

>>64573822Am I retarded for sitting on 1300 rounds of Tulammo and "cheapest ammo LLC (made in Russia)" the last 5 years and trading like half of it for a Tisas 2011?I only shoot 9/556 for the most part. Can't find any line on Russian ammo, it must be rare, but I'm valuing it at 0.50c/rd. I know it'll appreciate but I also don't want to be a retard holding ammo when the gun will also appreciate
>>64583855>>64583865
>>64583604because that's not the DIY model that you must be thinking about. Also, that's Atlantic Firearms, so that's a red flag for someone looking for good deals
>>64584395Tula? I still find it in local gun stores and buy it for shooting as fun range ammo because it's shitty inconsistent ammo. I don't think there's any reason to hold on to 1300 rounds of Tula as an "investment" I doubt anyone will want it because it's been banned for a while now and nobody really cares because it's shit
>>64580171You're wrong
>>64584006>unconverted saigaLmao! Lol, even
>>64579593you sound like a bitch ass nigga my nigga. spend money on retard russian shit when china nigga makes it just as good. fuck around and play games wit me nigga i dare you
>>64585504does it even feed well
>>64585550Unlikely. Quadstacks are notoriously jammy.
>>64585591But Suomi quads worked well. Is it because of the tapered x39 ammo causes problems and 9 para is straight case?
I’m considering getting an AK-104 clone and can’t decide trying to get a parts kit made from AKfiles or just buy a KUSA one
>>64584338rifle is fine
>>64577933I'll give them a look, thanks.
Why can’t I have one?
>>64578952Sad to hear about the price increase, but glad they can import again. A bit glad I panic bought that m72, seems like I will get it for cheaper. Still want an underfolder, might get an m70uf if they import them again too.
>>64586193because the height over bore is egregious
>>645841183/5 of those are gay
Zenitco vs the SAG mk3 chassis? I'm looking to bubba my AK but I'm not sure which to go for. I think zenitco looks cooler but I've heard that the mk3 is lighter and it does have the benefit of mlok.
Side folder ftw.
>>64586806I agree, buy this for me.https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1137837570
>>64586854Were I able I would buy us both one anon.
>>64586747If you can find zenitco for non-rape prices, go for thatOtherwise, go sureshot
>>64573822I want a 5.56 AK. Preferably a side folder budget ~1500-2000.Wanted a SAM5 but I'm only finding Batch 61s in stock.Thanks in advance
>>64587536That Arsenal is gonna be well over $2k if you find one. 61 isn't a batch it's a SKU designation.I'd say M90 and a bonesteel folder or a 5.56 Jack and Polish wire folder.Those are well within that budget. >5.56 AKs are a meme
>>64587536Meridian 101 is $1850 and coming early next year supposedly. Recreator is also coming out with an AK19 clone around the same time and probably similarly priced to finish too.
>>64587663okay whatever its a SKU number not a manufacturing batcheither way, aren't the 61s the ones that are horribly overgassed from the factory?
>>64587838and what's the deal with the SAM5 options on Atlantic's website being around 1800 bucks and everywhere else they're like 2400 minimum? Is it because they're all those overgassed 61s?
>>64583321Meh/10
>>64583855>>64583865I'm doing my part
>>64575444Ribbed for her pleasure
>>64584634You sound black(ed). I don't need to "fuck with" chink knockoffs when I can just go to the Zenitco store for the real deal.>>64586193Why would you want one? It's just one of those retarded AK bullpups that every AK factory tried in the 90s, and none of them worked worth a damn. The M16 carry handle kludged on top of the AKSU gas tube is just insult to injury. You've been psyopped by the cockhols, Groza is a meme. If you really want to bullpup an AK, consider repro-ing Kochevnik's kit like Oxide did.>>64586747If you want to keep the ability to turn it stock, go with Zenitco. Otherwise, SAG all the way: it's lighter, more stable optics platform, and you don't have to deal with their weird proprietary attachment interface.Zenitco is specifically targeted at service members who have to turn their guns back in the way they got them, so they design around a prohibition on permanent alterations. SAG usually doesn't, although there is a MK3.1 MIL/LE chassis now that accommodates the handguard retainer rather than requiring it be cut off.
>>64586806FTW:ForTheWimps
>>64589566>Why would you want one?I think they’re neat and would like to collect one
>>64589383Cute and sexy Valmet. I wanna feed it some nice Lapua ammo.
Are the beryl's coming back to AoA this summer? A couple threads ago an anon said AoA was getting some more. Debating on waiting for a beryl instead of a cheap wasr 3 or zpap m90/m85.
>>64590438AoA is in debt and owes FB a shit ton of money. So probably not.
>>64579589absolutely lovely collection, im somewhat of an ak purist so this scrathes that itchas much as i like a pristine ak, theres something about the look of a rifle thats been in the hands of dozens of conscrispts
>>64592846She's been a dirty girl, touched by many men.
>>64592886while i was in boot camp everyone named their aks stupid shit like "natalia" etc, i just called mine "bitch", she had crooked sights and a cracked gas tube cover that was a pain to reassemble
>>64592898Where were you in boot camp?
>>64591320Source?
AKfiles is down
>>64594519Nails using the site to mine Bitcoin again?
>>64594538Why is it always Nails online and not Jen? I've literally never seen any other staff besides him
>>64575447fuck I love that dust cover
>>64594414A Polish media outlet reported on it. Semi auto Beryls were recently introduced to the Polish market, contradicting what AoA has told its US customers about the beryl situation. AoA told the public "no more beryls, FB isnt going to make them anymore, they sold all their tooling, please buy our new rare rifles before theyre gone!" before every few weeks "finding" a few more rifles in the back.News link:https://dziennik-polityczny.com/2025/04/11/jak-fabryka-broni-z-radomia-handluje-z-amerykanami-i-traci-miliony-zlotych/There is a very good chance FB tries to import themselves again. But who knows when/if they will actually happen. They do seem to be interested in the civilian sales of their guns.
>>64594058go figure
>>64595622Îmi place WASR-ul tău, frate.
>>64595661ahaha, respect frate
Do I actually need rivets or can I just use screws or maybe welds or solder or JB weld
>>64596093Doing a screw build in the big 25 is actually insane. Just send it off if you're too cheap to buy a jig.
>>64596131Its more of an AK inspired build
>>64596093>solder>JB weldGet this man some booze and a parts kit immediately
>>64596373>>64596093I know a professional when I see one.
>>64596379>>64596373
>>64581570Noted, I was seeing the 300 for 175? till I saw what you mentioned and looks pretty good too, but I went to a local gun store that had RAS 5.45x39 stock and no one usually buys it so I went and bought their entire stock (didn't know they had more) when they brought out another box of it
>>64595272How tf can they be over $2M in debt if they don't have any FB inventory
>>64596383>Shown as a warning.>Coolest ak on the thread...
>>64596526Bad financial decisions.
>>64594713He's a neet, always begging for food. idk how much Jen pays him but it has to be something, it's a 24/7 job.
>>64595272We're never going to get the Grot and we lost the Beryl because AOA is ran be retards. Very disappointed with AOA that they pulled a Sweaty Ben to move inventory.
Which AK models are the easiest to convert to full giggle mode? the guide says the Vepr FM has most of the work already done

>>64597676Anything with a full auto bolt carrier group. So, surplus kit builds. I don't know what commercial offerings have them off the top of my head but Saigas don't. Everything else is drilling holes and cutting notches.
>>64578952bought an underfolder in celebration, still need a RPK
>>64598677Romy or Serbian RPK? Which is better?
>>64596828That nigga annoying af. He makes worthless posts in all of my threads because he thinks he's funny. The only person I hate more than Nails is 1biggun and he is the platonic ideal of a senile boomer.
>>64598973I also want to know, I have a wasr underfolder and kinda want an rpk to frt, how bad are frts on rpks?
>>64598973>>64599825I'm an AK whore, I have two romy RPKs, a molot RPK, and a zastava RPK, they are all great
>>64597297Arms of America hasn't reached peak retardation (see KUSA) yet. I have a few of their builds, solid craftsmanship.
>>64600298>two romy RPKsAre they at least set up differently? Like a wire folder or an RPK dong on one?
>>64600341For what it's worth, I think AoA is mostly pretty great from my experience. I assume they promised a lot more to FB than they could handle is all. I wish I could have gotten a mini beryl and a vis 100 in a reasonable color, but at least I got my Beryl, even if it was sort of a panic buy.
Got the m72 home today from lgs. Messing with it. Took qd bipod off no problem. Try putting it back on and FUCKING DAMMIT it does not want to go back on. I had an easier time putting zenit crap on my AK. Idk if it's out of spec or what. And yes, I already tried hitting it with a deadblow hammer to tap it back in while pushing up on the collar.
>>64600551use JB weld
>>64600565In all honesty, literally right after I posted that, I cussed more, jiggled it and got it back on. Naturally.
I have an Beryl with the rear trunnion rail locking tab. I've accepted that the actual rail is unobtanium and got a mastermount side rail, but I hate that in order to take the dust cover off I have to remove the scope, there's not enough clearence to wiggle it out. Cutting that tab off is a sin but I don't see any other way to be able to remove the dust cover without having to remove the scope mount every time.
>>64600665If your rail and the mount are in spec it should return to zero just fine. Don't butcher your rifle anon.
>>64600665Maybe not the newest version of it, and i'm not entirely sure of the condition of them, but Royal tiger has beryl rails for like 200 if I remember right.
>>64600665Just be patient, FB Radom will probably end up bringing them in on their own if they break up with AOA. Don't bubba your rifle.

Does anybody have opinions on early chinese imports? specifically IACP imports? Im considering the following rifle https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1135436157

>>64573822Anyone have any experience with these? I think they are commercial

>>64604896They are commercial and the way they are assembled and welded are a little different from milsurp bulgarian steels, but they are probably just as strong. The commercial bulgarian may have a polymer follower instead of steel, but it doesn't really matter. My buddy has a few of the commercial and I only have surplus ones and they both work well
>>64583855Fine.
>>64575013Same. Shit's tough all around my niggy, just grind it out till you can afford more. WAGMI.
>>64604896They are commercial. I've used the polymer 5.56 ones in a few of my projects. They're fine but needed a lot of fitting. I'd wager that 7.62 steel mags are probably GTG

How are Jim Fuller's AK builds? Are they up to the hype? I was looking through GB and found a few of them like this one https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1141156561
Used SGL21-61 going for a little north of $1800 at current bid. How much would /akg/ pay for a used SGL in currentyear?https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1142366371
>>64607945>bolt on gas blockFuller's a fucking meth head hack
>>64607945Fuller doesn't own or work on AKs at Rifle Dynamics anymore. He sold that
>>64573822what's this worthhas a serial number and I picked it up a decade ago when they weren't sought after by redditors, so I think it's original
>>64608166It's a dong, so whatever dongs are currently going for (apparently ~$75) Serial numbers don't mean shit unless you have the rest of the gun the serial belongs to.
Would /akg/ get into 5.45x39 these days if you were just getting into AKs? The ammo (tela) is only about $0.10 more expensive at $0.60/r than 7.62x39. I hear a lot of great things about 5.45x39.
>>64579837I saw a video on him, apparently he did it because Hispanics bullied him.
>>64584022What's the accuracy like on it
>>64608296No, the only reason to get an AK is because it's cool
>>646080792000ish is probably the most I would be willing to pay. I was willing to overpay for my 107cr only because there wasn’t an available quality 104 stand in. Unless you are in love with the 103 there’s not really any reason to with so many other quality 7.62x39 options that are already priced way higher than they should be.
>>64575127>>64576284>Radical>ATI>PSAThe unholy trinity of shitty ARs that only shitkickers have. Funny enough, the 31 flavors of fag usually lean towards pistols instead, because they think that MAGA squads will kidnap and lynch them if they don't own a trusty Taurus G2C (lmao). It's the tankies, anarcho-dickheads, and "allies" that grab an AR pistol off a sale, slap an MBUS set on it, then never fire it outside of 1-3 trash-shooting sessions.
>>64604896i got one of these years ago and it fit horribly in a couple different AKs of mine. I dont even know where it is anymore. IIRC the rear lug just seemed kinda short; when i'd depress the lever to release it, it would fall back because of the wiggle room on the rear of the mag. This could be a different mag i'm thinking of. Cheap surplus steel mag reign supreme baybee

anyone here have the huxwrx 7.62? Looking for something to throw on an akm probably in conjunction with a kns piston to run subs; a poor man's more expensive .300blk. Just want a can that will last a while, work decently and can be slapped on out of the box
>Mak-90 with the original pistol grip, matching serial parts, and in what looks like quite good condition but no bayonet lug for about $1100>Wasr-10 plus Comblock Customs or Woox furnitureAmerican, so it's more about the love of the AK than affordability. Can't justify Arsenal prices though. At least not right now.If it matters, I probably won't want to put an optic on it unless it really fits the AK aesthetics. FRT compatibility (and reliability with a FRT) on the other hand could be a deciding factor, even if that also won't be for a long time.
>>64614959I'd go Mak90 but it's a bit of grasping at straws atp, both are solid rifles, I think the Mak90 is better and you may be able to add a spiker or something down the road if the lack of a bayonet is a big deal (maybe it is, maybe sick bayonet pics are important for your enjoying the rifle i am not judging by any means here). For me the lack of a dimple is slightly more tism stirring but again both rifles are structurally fine and the price for the Mak90 is relatively normal.
>>64614975QRD on spikers? It's not a big deal to me, just a relevant factor. Bayonets are definitely VERY COOL though. Honestly I've just really wanted a proper AKM for a long time and trying to do my due diligence on research without going ham and overextending. Wood or bakelite furniture is a must since it fits my mental image of an ideal AKM, although underfolders are pretty cool too.
>>64615009It you want to add a spike bayonet properly you'll have to press off the front sight and install the proper one. New spiker front sights are about $100-$200 but you'll have to labor if you can't do it yourself. Alternatively: there are clamp on style mounts like picrel. These clamp onto the barrel with screws directly behind the FSP. Real clamp on mounts are rare and they look loose in the photos. There are repro and bubba options that would be cheap too. You may also have to replace the handguards or cut a channel into them so the spike bayonet can close.
>>646150492/?You can see how loose they are here. They don't lock into a lug they just slip over the barrel. Might be a bit better if you have a muzzle nut installed rather than the naked barrel
>>64615049>>64615060Thanks! That honestly sounds like a fun project.
>>64615049>New spiker front sights are about $100-$200Closer to $300.That and the lower hg are gonna put it over $400.https://polytechparts.com/polytech-front-sight-base-bayonet-assembly-made-in-the-usa/https://polytechparts.com/ak47-lower-handguard-blonde-w-bayonet-cut-polytech-ak-rifle/Also, I believe the post ban has the correct gb or something won't align right. I can't remember if it causes the bayo fsb to not be able to locked folded or if it's as simple as it won't retain a cleaning rod.
>>64615208>>64615060>>64615049the above anons got it before i could be if its a straight back Mak90 or even a slantback with a stock that accommodates that style of receiver, the end result is 99% of a Type 56 Ak, which is a solid single AK to have for a guy who mostly wants a good Ak for the sake of getting to shoot a more classic style set up.
>>64614717sorry i cant answer that unless you have all of the parts of exodia
>>64573855Just ordered 1000 Geco rounds for some 700 bucks. The better question I find myself asking is how much I will save, and how much I will shoot. Leaning towards s 50/50 divide.Also, I've decided to not get any corrosive mil-surp, despite it being by far the cheapest.

Call it: 2025 new production Pioneer Arms 5.56 Hellpup or a PSA AK102
>>64617615PSA and it's not even close.They'll announce the 5.45 Krink and a new "ComBloc Kit Gun" at SHOT early next year, I guarantee it.
>>64614717hux is loud af and shoots sparks
I'm thinking about buying an AK and for some reason I feel an attraction to the RPK over any of the other variants. I'm already spending more then I need to so would buying a 5.45 or 7.62 be a better choice? I know 5.45 is not very fun to buy now because of eastern europe things but is 7.62 any better on that front? What about mags?
Are there still problems with the PSA GF5 bolt's having oversized firing pin channels? I'm in a state that stupidly passed an AWB, but failed to classify receivers as falling under the ban. The GF5 is the only option for me since the Atlantic Firearms WBP offerings are still transferred as rifles.
>>64617640I’m leaning toward PSA because they have a known reputation but them not having the right rivets and such makes me want to consider the PA 1) because of import laws, since pistols are sold unmolested by the importer. 2) the company reformed and it appears they have resolved the firing pin issue based on anecdotal evidence.Considering the only other option I can find for a factory 12” 5.56 AK is an SLR106cr for an exorbitant price I’m stuck between >>64617660Polish QC and PSA, and I have no desire for custom work.
>>64617734For me, it's Pioneer's uncircumcised magwells.
>>64617734>>64617615Neither. Save up another measly 35% and get the upcoming Meridian.
Had her built in 2019. Kit is from 1983 and 100% matching parts.
>>64617687It was only for the 5.56 and 5.45 models and they fixed it, don't buy a used one you won't know how old they are
>>64615264>>64616366Damn Yanks...
>>64617819I watched the interviews on YouTube but didn’t hear (probably missed of course) anything about them producing 102s. I saw one offhand comment about Q1 2026 but couldn’t verify. One would think that if they produce 101/103s they would produce 102s/104s. I’m hopeful though.
>>64618563They have said that they are going to do a 102, it is just a matter of time. For what it is worth, converting one of their 101s to a 102 wouldn't be that difficult at all.
>>64573822Tfw no $500 ak-74 and 10c 5.45 in America >>64587536
>>64611568The phrase 'buy cheap stack deep' has never been more applicable than now after the price skyrocketed during the 'rona panic. Course it isn't as cheap as pre-rona of course but it has come down in price in the last couple of years. Buy what you can while you can anons.
>>64617669Rpks are fun, I just got my m72 from the lgs last week. 7.62 mags are cheaper than 5.45 mags if you buy the surplus ones. Commercial are about the same but idk about the durability/reliability of them. I only have 7.62 aks right now and so only buy surp mags since they are cheap and built well. Plus 7.72 rpks (romy aes10B and Yugoslavia m72) are going to be much cheaper and easier to find than a 5.45 rpk build or parts kit.
>>64617819Is that the Novus MDS-3? If so how do you like it? I was considering getting one of those for a future 12.25" Draco build I had planned, either that or a Holosun 510C. I have their PDS-1 already and its been decent, no issues out of it, the more I see that MDS-3 the more I consider getting it.
>>64618667Welp now I can’t decide whether to get a 102 and keep it pure or cut down a 101, get a combo block installed and threaded for 1/2x28. Probably the former, I’d spend more time fucking around than shooting otherwise
>>64618782Novus MDS-3Good overall Zeroing adjustments bit coarse, fine for an AK IMO. >>64618863I have badly wanted to see someone turn down a combo block or remove it entirely to get 1/2x28 or 5/8x24 threads right there to reduce the fucking gap that comes with mounting a suppressor using an adapter like picture related.
>>64573822So I've had a WASR for years that has run flawlessly. If I want some Gucci ass AK, what are my options? Also for mags, what's a good place to get stuff like surplus steels and bulgy waffles?

Not being able to own the three generations of modern Kalashnikovs is a national travesty worse then 9/11. We must immediately remedy this by abolishing the ATF, the NFA and all arms import restrictions as these are all unconstitutional infringements of the second amendment.https://en.kalashnikovgroup.ru/media/boevoe-strelkovoe-oruzhie/otlichiya-ak-103-ak-203-ak-15-i-ppk-20
>>64619474The things I would do for me to get this, instead we have shit PSA soviet copy.
>>64619474Did you vote in your local elections or called your reps in the last 10 years no?
>>64619552It looks like the ambidextrous selector from the PPK-20 is standard all on newer production AK-200s and AK12/15/19 models now. If the real ones are anything like the airsoft ones it’s a major improvement IMO. Makes me wonder why no-one has tried something similar to this before. (Galil and Valmet doesn’t count those things are shit).
>>64619653>calling your local reps>not being the rep yourself Check your grindset or you’re NGMI bud.
>>64619702Wasn't even aware it was Ambi, I'm going to be real with you, I think Arsenal and jew AK did it better with having it being part of the grip.
What is /akg/'s opinion about the ultimak, and gas-tube rails in general?
>>64621023They get hot and some red dots really don't like that.Personally I find them ugly too.I like side rail, rear sight leaf, or dust cover options moreIf I had to pick between an Ultimak and iron sights, I'd go irons.
>>64619382WBP or wait for Meridian>>64621299agree 100% with this guy
>>64617754The QC guys were disabled veterans, SHOW SOME RESPECT SONNY.
>>64621525>Meridian>US made 223 AKHow is this any different from PSA?
>>64621694Unlike psa, the meridian is going to be a direct 101 clone with better materials than even kusa could do if they didn't kick the bucket. The psa ak101 is a mish mash of 74 and akm spec internals.
>>64621525I really wish wbp made a sidefolder
>>64621694>>64621731It'll be curry-scented.
>>64621731yeah but like, youre just saying that, man
>>64621731It will be a direct 101 clone but don't act like we already know it's good, it's not even out yet and 5.56 and 5.45 US made AKs always launch bad
>>64619445>chinks are making domestic clones of the AK-203....what?
>>64618675Bruh, we barely have 30c. 5.45 in Russia, and the cheapest basic bitch Saiga 104 is $720. Them's the times we live in.>>64619702>Makes me wonder why no-one has tried something similar to this beforeSame reason Russian military didn't try it before mid-war: mental inertia. The original AK-12 proto was way different: upper\lower construction with solid optics rail, ambi controls, etc. But the boomer brass couldn't figure out how to disassemble and reassemble it quickly, like they used to do back when they were conscripts, so they scrapped the project and we got the 12 we had, and even that in miniscule numbers. The changes went into production only after the frontline reports rolled in.
>>64622307Based retarded russian boomers
Do these rails replacing the rear sight work when it comes to zero retention or are they dogshit ?
>>64621741I don't understand the side folding argument in 2025. Just get a WBP, replace the stock with a 1913 adapter and install whatever folding stock you desire. The only legitimate reason to get a sidefolder is if you amerikkkans want a 103 clone or whatever.
Does anyone remember the url for that sight that talked about the different methods for zeroing aks and sks'? Something Sahara dessert or some such?
>>64622894Are you talking about this? https://russianoptics.net/
>>64622936No, it had the word project in the name, I think. And it talked about something like the 2/200 setting or some such. I can't really remember. Maybe I have it bookmarked...
>>64622997>2/200No idea what site you're referring to but the 2/200 number might be referring to the battle zero setting on iron sights. The п setting is set to be marginally on target at 25m and 300m ish
>>64622813They suck big time. If you want a rail, get one of those adapters that slot onto the receiver optic rail and have a length of picatinny rail.
