AK General /akg/Kot edition>Thread #2084Old thread here >>64573822
To the anon who said we weren't getting more Beryl's because AoA owed FB a shit ton of money please explain pic related:
AK's peaked at the 100 series.
>>64623827I saw that post last thread, I agree as well. Anything made after the 100 series has been either a lateral move at best, or just a plain downgrade.
>>64623825You ever take out a new credit card to pay off your old one?
/akg/ please give me weird ideas for my WUM-1 kit
I found the site I was talking about. I was off with the name.https://savannaharsenalproject.com/2017/10/15/what-distance-to-zero-a-red-dot-on-an-ak-47/
Does anyone know if any product that is similar to the Zenit B16 rail? Maybe even something that has Mlok on one end and Picatinny slots on the other. I am trying to come up with an under barrel light mounting solution that will be a bit forward from the handguard. A six inch piece would be ideal really. I saw something like this, which would be ideal but this one was too long at 8 inches.
>>64624664 I only know of short ones. What light are you using? I Is there a way you can swap out the light body mount so it can mount to mlok? Some of them are tapped to accept mlok screws so you can bolt them into the slots.
>>64624664Trex arms light bar, it has a bad reputation for snapping tho just FYI
Where tf is Atlantic getting all these tons of Russian mags from?God damn, they're out of their fucking minds asking $600 for a drum.>I'm sure Rebbit will buy their whole inventory
>>64625350must suck being poor huh?
>>64624696Interesting. Is that the magpul one? If so, I'm not sure if you know but is that 3.15 inches? I think I grossly overshot with my last estimate. I think a three inch one would do, really just enough for me to have a mounting point from the last mlok slot to the edge of my handguard. >>64624997I'll look into that as well, thank you both.
>>64625407Yep its the magpul one.
>>64625358Wouldn't know, hymie.
took a paid time off day going shooting tomorrow
Please help. I have a new Saiga 103, only opened it once before about two years back, I remember it taking me a while. Now when I try it the cover won't budge at all. The button seems fine, just absolutely no movement. I cycled the action, it doesn't seem to be stuck under the rear sight. Any tips on how to get it open?
>>64626258you shouldn't own firearms
>>64626258If you have the 3rd type you need to press the button on top down. You may also have to wiggle the dust cover up with your fingers while you push. Sometimes the hole isn't cut straight also this>>64626362
>>64625466Sounds like HKParts.
>>64626362nice, I'll donate it as soon as I can clean it, promise>>64626386thank you, it's the second typeNo amount of force will make it budge and I don't want to scratch it up with a hammer and screwdriver, it's in mint condition
>>64625358No sane person can justify a $600 drum. But let's see your order.
>>64625350What the hell is Atlantic smoking with that price? I would never fault Atlantic for wanting to sell something for market price, but they want like $200 more than what you can find these for on the files. Their Russian 6x2 bayonets were well prices, same with their bakelite mags and plum furniture, so I was expecting to see these listed for like $200-$300 when I saw the youtube video.
>>64626437>I don't want to scratch it up with a hammer and screwdriverJust wrap your screw driver in a bunch of tape. If it really bothers you then you can also put some masking tape around the dust cover to protect it from glancing blows. Alternatively Use a pencil or wood dowel. You also have to lift up on the dust cover like I said because that little hump in the back is getting in the way. Hitting it won't do any good unless you left the cover up as you press the spring
>>64625358Post receipt.
Cooking with my AK. It stirs the onions quite nicely
>>64625637>TatraJezusie Chrystusie.Bro, at least pick something not bottom shelf choice .T. Local beer enjoyer
>>64625358i mean i COULD buy a Barret but it's just not worth that money to most people
It would be just under 1900 with shipping and FFL fees, sneed it or keep it?
>>64627967дa>>64628353Couple of things; 1. That price is at least 300 dollars too high but (in my opinion) within reason considering that gun isn't made anymore and is cool. And 2. They're known for reliability issues so be aware of that.https://www.sigarms556.com/If you've got the cash then fuck it, full send. It's only money
>>64627967but the can matched the color of my AKM so well
>>64623820Where my hellpup niggers at? Unironically
Do these exist anymore? I only see ones with two holes instead of the one big one like this that an ak sling would actually fit through
>>64629120Not sure exactly what you're mean, but Echo93 probably has somethinghttps://echo93.com/sling-adaptors/
this was a joy to shoot today. The FB radom barrel is accurate
Finally had a chance to shoot my RPK. both pins walked out after about 10 rounds. brand new out of the box. Retaining clip was improperly installed. The hammer spring was also warped and fucked up. Replaced entire fire control group with WBP parts now it runs perfect. considering this and my fucked up broken in half hand guard retainer latch I'm absolutely appalled with century/cugir
>>64629860Andrei hit the Țuică a little too hard the day he built your rifle
>>64625637>>64629492Based, wish I could go shoot today but SW Florida is shit
>>64629492I've enjoyed mine as well. Always nice to see new WBP frens.
>>64629860I've seen a lot of people complain about goobered century/cugir RPK's lately. >>64628984NGL I kind of want to try out some of the Pioneer arms guns. At times I am also greatly tempted by PSA's offerings too.
>>64629492i keep losing more and more opportunities to go shoosting
>>64629860>he bought romanianyikes!
What's the most effective flash hider for 7.62x39?
>>64632164AKML, probably
>>64629971Where can I get that magazine?
>>64630567I have a "forged" hellpup. Fit and finish is excellent. Although I haven't put enough rounds through it to to speak on the reliability of them. The receiver and dust cover don't seem quite as thick and solid as my waist but it could just be in my head from the years of pioneer shit talk...
>>64632242>>64632242Waist.... Lmao. WASR. Fucking auto correct
>>64632214any site selling surplus mags
>>64632275Can't ever find non fucked up ones
Beryl rail from RTI finally came in. It's new old stock and is picatinny. The only difference between my AOA rail and this one is that the RTI rail is grey on all of the mounting surfaces while the AOA rail is black.
bump from pg 10
>>64634109
>>64632288yeah that happens if you buy from Royal Fagger Imports in particular
>>64629860Cugir no longer have military contracts so they stopped giving a fuck
About to buy a micro Draco for $300. The catch? The dust cover is a few millimeters too short and pops off from the front when you rack the bolt too hard. I assume it will also fly off when shooting. Could I just zip tie the fucker down?
>>64639632$300 micro draco notwithstanding, are you sure the top cover is fully seated and locked in with the recoil spring retaining rod? The hole at the back of the cover might be out of alignment too, causing it to not fully seat as well. >Could I just zip tie the fucker down?Sure zip ties would probably be a temp fix, but if you need to clear a jam or malfunction that requires the top cover coming off, you're gonna have to redo them.Just get a new top cover, they're not very expensive. Might require some fitting though.https://akoptionsllc.com/romanian-ribbed-ak-top-cover/
>>64640187I’ll probably get that dust cover, rip the rear sight off the old one, and JBweld it to the new cover. Thanks anon.
>>64640367Oh yeah the micros have that ham fisted rear sight on the top cover. It's gonna cost more, but i found one in stock.https://texasshooterssupply.com/product/original-ak-mil-spec-dust-cover-with-peep-sight/
>>64640367>>64641134buying a new dust cover is a good idea but only if this doesn't work. First try to bend either the front/rear/both edges of the dust cover to make it fit right. Bang it with a hammer. It's an AK just try that shit first to try to save money. Who cares if you fuck it up more it's already fucked
>>64626362You shouldn't own a house
Anyone else got a thing for Yugoslavian AKs?
>>64641134>>64641151Thank you both for the link and repair suggestions. I can’t wait to get my clapped out nigger LARP gun. Gonna drop in an FRT to make it even more absurd
>>64641166Ive got a thing for yugoslavia in general. Just such a wild history and a pretty good study in how certain groups just cant live with othert groups unless theyre forced to
>>64641166Don't know if its a thing, but my only AK is a yugo zastava. Not sure the manufacture date, but it was imported by Mitchell Arms, which went out of business in 1998.
>>64635771>cugir no longer has military contractsWhy would someone just go onto the internet and tell lies?
>>64641540No contract for AKs*
Wish I was not at work right now
>>64642690very sexy wasr anonvery nice
Just got my East German Bakelite stock set. Wish that I could get one of the furniture-less polish guns to put it on, but my state is gay. AoA shipped me a STG57 kit though.
Well I didn’t get the micro draco. Inspected it and that thing is a pipe bomb. Rear trunnion is completely fucked. Bulging receiver wall and a rivet I can pull out with my fingers. I think some nigger was shooting it without that little buffer in place. Tragic really.
>>64643505>STG57 kitI was really interested in those but I don't see anymore making receiver repair sections anymore
>>64623820SAG makes an AK-12 stock that fits on an M4 carbine buffer tube fyiRoger's SuperStok for comparison
>>64644256Otra side
>>64644246I’ll have to send it to someone to build on a honey creek receiver, but I can’t do that until I move states. I FOMOed into buying one of the kits with the barrel. I have my SIG AMT to tide me over.
Had to jave my dog put to sleep last week because he had been sick for several months and was only getting worse. Didn't want him to suffer anymore. Really depressed. Post pics of AKs with dogs if you have them, thanks.
>>64644443Sorry to hear, our dogs and animals will be made whole again, and we shall see them again.
>>64644443Sorry about that breh. Here is my oldboy. He’s 13 and thank Christ he is sharp and full of energy still. I love him so much it’s unreal.
>>64644443Godspeed, anon. Sorry you had to do it but you did the right thing.Dogs lives may be short to us but take solace knowing to him, his entire life was spent being happy with you.Pic rel isn't a dog but she was my best cat ever. She was 21, I miss her so much. It's been about 3 years now and I still miss her every day. I still hear her meows whenever I pull my car back into my driveway (she recognized the sound of my engine and would run up from wherever she was).
>>64644443RIP in Pupperoni. Best I can do is Arkan's tiger.
>>64644443
>>64645612poor choice of words
I just got myself a pbs one for my akm,But there is a single rubber wipe, which I dont want to shoot outWhats the best way to replace it with some spacers ? I can order a metal 3dp piece to replace it, but maybe there is a better wayalso, my muzzle thread a fucking rusty, I cant get them clean, despite hot water, brushing and oiling
>>64645731>rubber wipeYou can buy rubber sheets on amazon or McMaster-Carr. That's kind of a legal no-no though because suppressor parts are regulated. You're better off making your own rubber parts instead of paying someone to make a baffle because you have some plausible deniability with the first option. >my muzzle thread a fucking rustyRust converter. Plug your bore with something so it doesn't get inside and then brush on some rust converter or dissolver. Wipe it off then brush on some cold bluing solution to protect the bare metal.
>>64646070im yuro, suppressors are not regulated here.i've read that i should not use the wipe with supersonic ammo. i dont intend on using subsonici will tread the muzzlethanks
>>64625358Overpaying for shit is how you become poor, stupid brokies larping as someone with money say the darndest things. Thats you.
>>64628353Those things are problematic piles of shit and nothing like a true Swiss sg. You will not enjoy it but to look at for its novelty, only buy if you are planning on absolutely raping a dumb boomer at a gunshow. Good luck hope you flip it

I like my AKs like I like my ARs, in 5.56.
>>64647126>like*how
>>64647126
>>64647299Not him, but I am bi and own a Beryl. I guess this checks out.
>>64647299I own an M85 and have had gay sex a couple of times...wasnt very good but you might be on to something
>>64647126straight men buy a real ak
>>64623820I don't have an AK but I've got enough disposable income to justify adding one to my collection. What should I look for in one? Where's a good place to buy decent ones?
>>64648287If you want 7.62 go WASR/WBP/Zastava M70556 go M90/85 or WBP(might be shit)
Just got her today and she's already my favorite, aks are the best
>>64648650fugg lol
>>64648650Nice AB2.
What clones builds can I do with an SLR-105?
>>64623820I've heard a psa ak has grenadeded while using aac ammo.
>>64648997It's a fixed stock stamped 74, yes? Not sure what you mean by clone. Putting different furniture on it? Also which version of a 105 do you have as tgat could limit you "clone-ability" options.
>>64649107A1 R, I wasn't even aware there were other variants that arsenal made, and yes putting different furniture and maybe an optic that is clone correct.
>>64623820retard question, just getting into AKsare the threads on the barrel itself or the front sight post?or is it "used to do one, now do the other"?
>>64650663Generally AKMs and AK-47's have threaded barrels. Any thing AK-74 and above has the threads on the front sight block like pic rel. Sometimes there are no threads because of ban era weirdness and import restrictions.
>>64632214I got mine from SG ammo when he had 4 packs. I think he still sells singles. Not a fan of Sam but it is what it is sometimes in this industry.
I gave away my polish bipod, want to buy another one again because they look cool. Would never use it except for pictures bc I'm too autistic about it scratching up my barrel
>>64643505Vote. gotta work to make things better.
>>64641540What a hunk of dogshit. They should've just made ak101s vs whatever that shit is. Didn't they get ARX160 tdp years back anyway?
>>64644303Is honey creek still making receivers?
I have a friend who is offering me an NHM-91, never-shot in the original box with all accessories except the bipod, for $1700. Should I pounce on the deal or pass it up? Pic unrelated.
>>64641540These translations have be rollin'>Mode of operation: gas loan>Operation: fire with fire>Power Supply: 2-row detachable loader>Sighting System Optional: mechanical whisk>Speed at the mouth of the pipe: 900 m/s
>>64653260>NHM-91You can buy them on Gunbroker for $1750 with the bipod, so I wouldn't say that's such a great dealhttps://www.gunbroker.com/rifle-ammunition/search?keywords=norinco%20nhm%2091
>>64653260found one on gunbroker with the bipod for $1350https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1137143948
>>64653260Is your friend from Israel by chance? Last name end in "-berg", "-stein", or "-witz"?
>>64653323>>64653329Thanks. I know shit little about the NHM series, and apparently am too retarded to look it up.>>64653335Lol no, but he's a Yankee.
>>64652372SG used to be my go-to for ammo, I've probably spent $10k with him. He went to shit after COVID, he probably knows selling ammo is a liability and just wants to retire/get out of the business eventually.
>>64653429why is it a liability?
>>64623820So who's going to contact Armatec? Also wonder who actually made these because I don't know if Bulgaria actually made bakes (Russia, China, and Germany come to mind but few or no others).
>>64632288IIRC Polish stuff was pretty fucking squeaky clean but it's been years.>>64639632This is going to be the dumbest fucking thing I'll say today but if it's just a hair short you might be able to find a round piece of metal to put it over and use a ball peen hammer to "stretch" (squish and thin) the end that tucks under that cutout at the front of the receiver. Long shot and you have to hope the dust cover is soft enough to do it but it could be done. Or it won't work and you'll spend $45+$30 ship at EveryGunPart and probably make the whole thing not fucking worth it. I was going to also ask about the button to take the cover off but after looking at my AK I highly doubt it unless there's something really wrong with it.
>>64653493Look at what happened to Remington after sandy vagina.
>>64653509>$33,000 min orderSo do we need to create a /k/ group buy for this shit?
>>64653509So what's the deal with bake mags anyway? Are they actually good as mags, or just a pretty meme? A local place near me has some for $75 each.
>>64625358>Be a billionaire>Buy everything that takes your fancy>Be a zeroaire This is how it works in the real world. If you have possessions you have less money regardless of how much you start with. Only poorfags don't understand this.
>>64623820Avtomat Kosha
>>64653509>Also wonder who actually made these because I don't know if Bulgaria actually made bakes (Russia, China, and Germany come to mind but few or no others).Almost certainly they are hand-me-downs from aforementioned countries. I would guess Russia is most likely.>>64654501I'll put down money for 10. That gets us 1% of the way there. The problem is we need someone who is trustworthy, can organize orders, and actually distribute the magazines. I think whoever does this (if it happens), it would be fair that he gets $6 or $7 per magazine as compensation and to cover shipping costs. That would put our price at $39.00 to $40.00 per unit, which is still massively below what they go for on Gun Broker or through Atlantic.>>64654529Most are going to be around 40 years old by now. Many resins and plastics become more brittle by then. Yes, they are very pleasing to the eye, and yes they do feed very reliably. If you think you'd like them, get them. $75 is very reasonable, considering that Atlantic and Gun Broker almost always have them above $90 per unit. If you can find any evidence at all that a magazine is Chinese Bakelite, then I wouldn't even hesitate.
>>64654573>If you have possessions you have less money regardless of how much you start withThe only caveat I would add is that some possessions appreciate in value. Old AKs often do this, in fact. However, possible appreciation by itself is rarely a good enough reason by itself to buy things.
>>64654501I would absolutely buy two 7.62 bakes at like $50/ea; last I paid was like $20/25 for an East German 5.45 I think? Also weirdly enough I happened to randomly find that page because I was looking for pics of bakelite mags to get a reference without having to dig for the one I mentioned previously. I was actually looking because I have some theories about how to make my own repros of things like AK grips, VZ-58 furniture, etc. and want to see if the materials I'm thinking of using would match. Very far off in the future if it ever does happen FWIW. Materials ain't cheap and I keep finding "just one more way/one more tool/one material change" to improve. Heat and stiffness are also a huge concern. Also if I end up making mags, the steel reinforcements, not to mention the spring, follower, and baseplate are almost worse than figuring out manufacturing the mag bodies themselves.>>64654529They look cool and work well, that's really it. Kinda like why AK guys want original "bakelite" AK pistol grips, AR guys want original M16A1 grips for their M16s, and VZ guys want original beaver barf furniture. Looks pretty. Sometimes you get lucky and you get some pretty depth and texture. Also $75 is as cheap as I've seen them for years. I still would hesitate but it's pretty good.
>>64654501>>64654772I don't think there are enough people here for a group buy. You'll have to ask on the files. Found out what I'm going to do with my WUM-1 kit. I'll have to use PSA krink barrel components. I'm going to keep it 7.62x39 so I'll probably buy a Recreator 7.62 krink barrel because Arsenal are kikes and Riley is out of spec. I really haven't gave shit about STINC until now because most of their projects are 3d printed but these will be steel parts. I was playing with the idea of converting one of the airsoft Kochevnik but they're only available in China which makes things a pain in the dick. I will post my results when it gets in here March 2026
>>64653260bro i tried selling mine for any price over 1000 dollars for a year with no luck. That price should only be for ones that are BRAND NEW in BOX with EVERYTHING in my opinion.
To the anon who mentioned having hte Novus MDS-3 in the last thread, is the front lens supposed ot have a slight cant to it? I just recieved mine and it does, but then again looking at reference photos they all seem to have that slight lens angle.
>>64655225Same anon here but apparently the objective lens on a red dot will have an angle to it. I have never known that till today. Learn something new every day I guess. This is the same image just marked up to illustrate what I believed to be wrong, with the circled area the max outward angle of the lens. I think everything is ok. I emailed Novus about it as well just to be sure.
Guys, help, my FEG leather sling has mega aids. What is the best way to clean this mold/mildew off and preserve the leather(if possible at this point) and prevent this in the future? Thanks.
>>64656162just get a new one
>>64656183I might, but why spend the money on another sling that may be grungy too when I can clean this one up? Plus I've got a couple other leather slingshot and plan to get more for other non AK rifles so having something on hand to help keep them in good condition seems like a better idea to me.
>>64656162Soap and warm water. Some people use diluted vinegar and warm water.
>>64656162Saddle soap and warm water is my preferred way to clean leather slings. Then a leather conditioner after.

How much lower does /akg/ think I can offer for this? I really want a legit SGL21 but I don't like the idea of paying north of $3k.https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1134504765
>>64659960his MINIMUM bid starts at $3800 there's no way he would accept anything less than $3k
the fuckin SAIGA spammers are hilarious. the only reason people think theyre worth the money is because somebody told them theyre worth the money so they went and bought one, and then to justify their purchase they go tell 4chan about how the SAIGA is the best rifle and such a GREAT DEAL at EIGHTEEN HUNDREDS DOLLARS FOR AN UNCONVERTED SPORTER! So what if its just a basic bitch SPORTER with mediocre build quality and CAST components, its RUSSIAN! KC IS IZHMASH TOO SO ITS LIKE THE EXACT SAME THING! Just admit that you got into the AK game too late and that youre paying $1400 more than you should be paying for literally no reason, REDDIT is jewing you but you dont want to admit it because you dont want to see like a retard for paying over $400 for a featureless rifle
>>64661533
At work so I can't take any pictures but I think im fixing to sell my Saiga. I'm looking at gunbroker and the prices vary pretty wildly so its hard to tell what I should sell for, was wondering if anyone here could give a rough ballpark. >converted Saiga in 7.62>Midwest handguard/dust cover>KPYK stock>500 Golden Tiger boxed>1000 Wolf, loose A friend said he might want the ammo but he's been saying that for like over a year at this point.
>>64661533Since when the fuck do Russian AKs have cast components?
>>64661901>replying to a copy pastaCasting non-pressure bearing components has been the norm for a very long time.
>>64661962The ones on the right look like cookies.

>>64664377Clean your fucking guns
>>64664468Are you retarded?Thats litteraly what smooth as butter meansAs in no hickupsIt has never jammed.>>64664469Considering it truly
>>64656240>>64656272Late thank you, I will try these.
>>64658199>>64658218I kind of want to get a cheap psa AK just to have to shoot, not really care about if it gets broken and not stress over like my foreign builds/imports. A genuine beater AK.
>>64665391that's what I did I bought their 101 for $690 a couple years ago and it's one of the most fun guns it has zero muzzle rize
>>64665588>checkedNice triple dubs. Probably be what I do, just not sure about caliber. I have some 7.62x39 AKs, but 5.56 is about half the price of that now, so a 101 or similar seems to make sense, but I don't want to have to buy a different style of mag too. How pricey are 5.56 AKs mags? Haven't looked into that much.
>>64664377What is up agoodenoughgunner? I think after acquiring a beryl or a m85/m90 I will probably get a paa krink. Unlike their 101/102 ak's, they seem very solid.
Alright chuds. I inherited an Arsenal, I think it was a Sam7 dunno exact model. Will check later when im home and take pics. Planning to sell, what's a good asking price?
>>64666573If its unfired and not a sam7UF or sam7SF then 1500. Otherwise post fucking model
>>64666549Yes sir, u ozoneThe problem with PSA is everything is an eb n' flow like the quality is good for a long time and that falls off and then they realize it fell off and then it comes back you know that's the problem with those videos I made was people still comment on them like oh well this this and this its just like well you got to realize you it's been a few years things changeYou know I don't want to pull a lemon grenade and make the same video a thousand times it's just boringSo for right now I'm just doing musket stuff because honestly the Market's kind of drab and gay.
>>64666732Lemon grenade is a fudd who deletes his channel's catalogie to slowly make the smae videos later. Dude also blew up a riley after converting it to 5.56 lol.
>>64666732I feel ya on the market shit. Hopefully the meridian defense 101's are good. 1800 is a bit fuckin pricey though.

PK-AS optic rubber cover broke off while cleaning :( does anyone know if there are replacement cover being sold? Or should I just raw dog it?
>>64668728
>>64668583They are fairly universal across their line of optics, just find the correct size. Replacement should still be cheap enough if you want to get one still. Otherwise there are some other options to look at.Raw dogging is still a valid choice.
We lost him 12 years ago today.
>>64669725erm literally who boomer
>>64670253>not knowing who Eugene Stoner isGo on, git.
I thought these were vaporware until I found out they were released for the Euro market
>>64670940Also important to note that CAA had business relations with Kalashnikov Concern and that's probably why the Gen 1 AK-12 looks like it was dragged through the CAA catalog
>>64669725oh shit thats right. RIP
>>64669725RIP in pepperoni
>>64644443Sorry to hear anon, I just had to put mine down 6 months ago. I haven't pet another dog since.The Power of the DogRudyard Kipling 1865 –1936There is sorrow enough in the natural wayFrom men and women to fill our day;And when we are certain of sorrow in store,Why do we always arrange for more?Brothers and Sisters, I bid you bewareOf giving your heart to a dog to tear.Buy a pup and your money will buyLove unflinching that cannot lie –Perfect passion and worship fedBy a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.Nevertheless it is hardly fairTo risk your heart for a dog to tear.When the fourteen years which Nature permitsAre closing in asthma, or tumor, or fits,And the vet’s unspoken prescription runsTo lethal chambers or loaded guns,Then you will find – it’s your own affair –But … you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear.When the body that lived at your single will,With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!);When the spirit that answered your every moodIs gone – wherever it goes – for good,You will discover how much you care,And will give you heart to a dog to tear.
Sig 543 kits with original barrel. French made with Labonese crests just dropped for anons wanting French made AKs. Receiver looks like might be a bitch to do though.
>>64674485
>>64674638Turn key furniture replacements in January. Receivers in February.
>>64675950Deets on receivers or that's weapons guild?
>>64628353Looks like a gen 1 from the stock. Those had aluminum mag catch lips. Steel AK mags are through the aluminum catches like nothing. I have two of those in 5.56, they're not very fun.
>>64675963It will be a receiver and therefore need a FFL transfer.Anyway center-fire sold out already.
Merry Christmas you degens

>>64664377>>64664517Congrats it is somewhere between 30-50% done with its lifetime. Have you ever grouped it?My PSA AK102 shot like shit, 4-6 MOA, and it straight up broke broke after 1200 rounds or so, then the warranty process took like 75 days.
Merry Christmas /akg/

>>64679913I think it's fair to assume the people looking at vz58s are probably into AKs, I see they're planning on doing a 300blk pistol... What's the mag compatibility for the 556 vz85 pistol?

are there any AKS-74U upper handguards that have built in picatinny on the sides?
>>64687632The classic Zenitco B-11, ofc.
>>64687688upper handguard my nigga
>>64655371The projector is at the edge of the tube and is reflected such that it is parallel to the tube. How did you suppose that works?
>>64687704Get an ultimax tube, drill and tap.
>>64687746That might work actually. I'm thinking up ideas for mounting a LAM+light on the Groza cope kit. Ideally, I'd like to have it under the carry handles at 12 o'clock but there probably isn't enough room. That leaves me with making DIY mount that will attach to the sides of the gas tube or attaching it to the B-18 clamp that I already have. I guess I could mount it directly to the suppressor with a ring clamp but that's the least secure option
something like. I could weld or drill and tap a picatinny section onto the gas tube like so
>>64687704Sorry, my bad, meant to say B-11+B-19(N) combo. Then again, it doesn't have rails on the sides of upper handguard either. You may have to go custom for this one, it's a weird place to put a rail on an AK.>>64687914That looks ghetto as fuck. Once again I implore you to research Kochevnik's solution to bulpupping a short AK.
It's an older photo but it's of an aks-74u with a short orange magazine? Does anyone have it?
>>64687994This one?
>>64687632Fab Defense has a railed upper, although it's kinda janky. Seems like most "railed" upper handguards only have a top rail.
>>64688030Nah if I remember correctly it was super high def
>>64687986>implore you to research KochevnikBelieve me, that was my first option but the reproductions aren't made anymore and I can't find any used. I spoke to a Chinese retailer about the model TWI used to make. TWI sold off the rights to another company, FCW, that has repeatedly pushed the preorder delivery date back over the course of a year. They're now expecting a summer 2026 delivery date. AFAIK there aren't any US distributors planning on importing them so you have to do it yourself if they ever deliver.
>>64687914I see the vision, add a pic rail to the rear sight and then add a riser for the optic clearance, or just get a dust cover that come with a pic rail already. Not sure on the LAM, but you can always get some hose clamps and attach to the carry handle? Not up to date on AK suppressors, but is there one that comes with a built-in pic rail for a LAM?
>>64623825Idk about money, but as far as I am concerned, FB Radom has other priorities right now and they don't really give a shit about civillian sales domestic or foregin. They don't really make Beryls for civillian market at all anymore. Here in Poland Beryl S has sold out completley and has been out of stock everywhere for a while now.
>>64687632What's with the paintjob, Ivan?
Love me waffles
>>64689122>but as far as I am concernedSo talking out of your ass, got it.
Should I just cash out on my zenitco ?
>>64695096Yeah, it looks like shit.
>>64695096yes, I think it's another case of>it only became popular because it was banned
>>64695148>>64695186>>64695096The stock is fantastic and the b30/31 is a cool handguard. But full zenitco is heavy as fuck
>>64695096is that an sme or actual suppressor?
>>64695408Armacon wolf
>>64695694nice. ive been looking for one for a while but they are dried tf up
Is 5.45 dead? Feels like the only thing I can find new in it that isn't complete burger shit are Galils
>>64695801Bazalet has them and many other items for sale if you cant find them stateside. There is a markup and long shipping times from Georgia but it might be worth a look depending on how bad you want it.
>>64696532How long we talking for shipping times?
>>64696413It's alive and well.... it's just all in ukraine. Should have invested in something else, bud
>>64696782I would just email them and let them know what you're looking for and a shipping estimate, see what they have to say. I think with those sorts of things the slowest shipping option is the most discreet. Definitely isnt gonna be anything that same week.
>>64696787>join the redditor foreign legion>walk five feet outside of base and pick up a mint kord from a dead choorka>leaveHuh.
So i'm back with some updates.The WBP shitposting was actually correct. So far some signs point to the fact that these rifles are pretty fucking ass at worst and moderately (moderately because they're fucking overgased) fun range toys at best.The signs i got with my MiniJack are all heading to the same conclusion : this rifle will shit itself up sooner or later (and the fact that the retarded spokesman of WBP in the TFBTV video said something along the lines of "5'000 / 10'000 rounds somewhere where you are nearing the end of life of the platform" doesn't help believing anything else) and i'm only 300 rounds in.I already noticed weird wear patterns and i also noticed that the back of the firing pin is taking a BEATING (keep in mind we are talking 200 to 300 round at the very max shot through it) by an ALG hammer (which was reprofiled and polished at that). Pic related. I contacted WBP directly about it and you probably can guess what they said "lol it's ALG fault our hammers don't cause that".
>>64695286The PT-1 is probably the worst part of the whole Zenitco lineup and only someone that only used that shit standing up once a year would say otherwise. The cheek riser screws are fucking ass and strip up easily for the simple reason that the slot is far too large for any common tool or even a knife, talking about the cheek riser it's also a monumental snag hazard and i've saw countless slings or even tree branches being caught in that shit, the stock wobbles even with their cope rubber piece installed in the trunnion, the length adjustment is placed in a counter intuitive spot and is prone to getting stuck, it's heavy for no reason, it's just an atrocious stock overall. You're better suited with an AR adapter and that's saying a lot.
>>64696853is this from a x39 or 5.56 rifle?
>>64696942x39
>>64695096Come home, white man.
>>64690192Phenolic 20rd chinese magazine my beloved
>>64696942whatx39?
>>64696413Not at all, It’s just dead in the US.
>>64696853Thanks anon, I almost bought one of these right when the bad reports started coming in and decided to wait. I appreciate you taking one for the team to see what's what. You gonna try to shoot it to death? Keep us posted.
>>64696853Do you have an ALG in it? Are they not recommended?
>what AK should I buy?WASRASRLiterally just buy a WASR. It's the Honda Civic of AKs. Oh you think Civics are lame? Well I think broken bolt lugs are lame. Oh it sucks because there's no dimples? Dang, guess RPKs are trash too.
>>64697026Whoever did this is gay
>>64696877None of that has literally ever happened on my machine.
>>64697980Get a zastava, its only a little bit extra
>>64697980>his RPK doesn't have dimples
>>64697980No thx Iol. PSA has come a long way and are just as good chud
>>64696853polack/10, do not redeem.It seems that they're losing key bits of know-how from Kalashnikov's technical package, like properly heat treating different parts. AK is a peak industrial age product: cheap in batches of millions, simple to use due to literal thousands of man-hours of engineering, dead-nuts-reliable as long as proper processes and QC is followed. That's why the farther from Izhevsk an AK is made, the shittier it is.
>>64697957Yes i do. Well, all i can say is WBP is blaming them for the deformation, which is basic manufacturer damage control disclaimer 101. So i guess they don't recommend them. But that doesn't mean anything, all my other rifles work perfectly fine with them in it and said trigger is probably the most used upgrade on AKs worldwide so it just feels like cope for potmetal by WBP to be honest.
>>64698855Which is hilarious because i had a direct conversation with WBP on Instagram and they told me straight up "no u bad, we good, we use technical data package from polish rifles from the 60s, the issue is the ALG !" even though out of the 10 AKs i own / owned, some of which are in full auto, this is the first fucking time i see deformation in such a low round count. Not only that but if any of you saw the latest TFB TV episode in their factory, well, it was an absolute trainwreck and i suggest anyone to watch this shit and die a little bit inside. It felt like a KPYK shill episode dusted with massive manufacturer damage control disclaimer 101 about "you need a stock that acts as a support for the receiver cause our shit is thin as fuck and made out of potmetal" and abysmal takes like "the end of life of the platform around 5K to 10K rounds" and the relation between a chinese stock adapter and barrel harmonics for some reason. I shit you not. It was really an absolute mess and a market rep nightmare. >>64698006Good for you.>>64697362Yeah i will shoot it (suppressed at that) and keep the ALG in it until something shits the bed. You're welcome.
I like her bros. And AK15SK.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0uWIgn44wk
How do the barwarus handguards compare to zenitco other than finish ? The handguars are the only thing I'm interested in
>>64696413my man 5.45 AND 7.62x39 are dead (in terms of cheapness)
>>64696853this doesnt seem like definitive nor good testing
>>64699752Agreed... I'm gonna need him to lay out his steps of the scientific method in a scholarly lab report before I believe some rando from this fuckin place
>>64700260i would just ask that he uses the trigger that came with it and see what happens but that works too
>>64699752No fucking shit Sherlock i'm not a fucking paid influencer with a free access to a range and free ammo that can lay out a proper testing protocol and spout a .pdf. I just shoot this piece of shit when i have the time and report from there. >>64700299Why... ? For brainlets that barely know how an AK works, going back to the original FCG and seeing that nothing happens would mean : >the rifle is fine And for people that know AKs it would mean :>well, seems like a minor different in hardness on a third party addition is beating the fuck out of this rifle, which means i can't safely do anything internally, which means i'm stuck with the original FCG or anything else for that matter, which is a massive loss in all regards since we aren't all made equal and like different trigger shoes / feel / travel / resetNot only that but seeing a part get mushroomed so easily raises some legitimate concerns over the structural integrity of the rest of the rifle.Do i really need to type all that obvious shit out ?
>>64696853>I already noticed weird wear patternsOn the trunnion/bolt area, or just the bolt/hammer/firing pin area?
>>64698839Somebody post the picture
>>64700353>shoot gun sometimes when he had time>sees a little metal wear > wahhhhh this gun is total doghsit >asks the people who build AKs for a living at WBP>tell him it's not their fault >get on /akg/ and whine
>>64700398Bolt mainly. >>64700400>sees a little metal wear>little>firing pin got mushroomed like it had 7K rounds while it's not even 200 rounds in>my Saigas that are clocking to nearly 10K, all with ALGs in them, don't even look remotely that badYeah you don't know what the fuck you are talking about, do you ? Besides Pioneer employees build Aks for a living too, and guess what, they build dogshit. Was that supposed to be an argument ?
>>64698880>the end of life of the platform around 5K to 10K rounds*competition Vepr-12 on its fourth barrel in as many years stares in open-class disgust*>you need a stock that acts as a support for the receiverWhat in the actual fuck? Is the tail of the stock supposed to be supporting the walls of the receiver instead of the trunnion it interfaces with?>>64700400You godless waste of dubs...I hope you get all your firing pins replaced by polack potmetal and they mushroom after a couple combat loads' worth of shots and your shit starts light-striking every other round.This is an affront to the spirit of Mikhail Timofeevitch. Poland deserves to be partitioned again for this shit.
>>64630567>NGL I kind of want to try out some of the Pioneer arms guns. At times I am also greatly tempted by PSA's offerings too.All of the Pioneer guns I've seen at gun shows have looked really nice and well put together, but that doesn't mean much if the metallurgy under the nice finish isnt very good so I remain undecided.Its been over a year since the PSA Krinkov released with no controversy at all, or reports of them exploding, so I'm very tempted to buy one in 5.56 just for funsies. Has PSA finally done it guys? Have they actually made a good AK?
>>64623825still not a beryl retard
Happy New Year /akg/
Gunsmith Recommendations for Barrel Pull serice, Rechamber to 5.56Anyone had this done to a 5.45 lately? Looking for a qualified AK Smith that won't charge an arm and a leg and sit on my property for 6 months. This should be a rather simple job, press out the sewer pipe barrel on my M74 Sporter and put in a new one and modify the extractor to better catch 5.56
>>64701201That is my point; if we are getting Grots, why are we not getting Beryls. The anon last thread said "ohh uhh its because AoA owes FB a fuck ton of money". Well obviously that isn't true since we are getting these dumbass things.
My goal by the end of this year is to own a Various Valmet. With that being said does anyone know anything about the ones on the US market? Like if you were going to get one which one would still have the military sights, but could take like a Bonesteel stock for example. Or what mags work with them besides the Valmet ones.
>>64702683PMAGs don't work with RK's according to the FDF. Something about shearing the lips with time. The Valmet bolt carrier has different geometry than AK's.
>>64702693Oh my bad, I should have probably of mentioned I was going to look at one in .223 since they are far cheaper than the 7.62 ones. So I guess I should have asked if Galil mags work in them?
>>64698903She's perfect bros>nice rifle too
>>64703173>would a Galil magazine work in a Galil
>>64703173Apparently the Galil mag has a different angle on the feed lips, so the bullet might hit the chamber roof and push it in. And apparently Yugo .223 mags are good.
>>64703173Cringe. You're buying a poorfag variant of what you actually want so you'll never be satisfied with it. Why do poorfags do this? The gun you want is $6-8.5k. That's your entry point. Nut up or move on from it.
>>64648262they gayest people ive ever met are hardcore 7.62 soviet enjoyers. real men buy a balashnikov and kill Israelis.
>>64698921>barwarus>Texas>TurkeyTwo of the shittiest places on planet earth, you either pay the turkshit tax or the burger tax, what is wrong with wood anon?
>>64698903I think I have fallen in love, but she is an orc at the end of the day, how do orc women compared to regular women?
>>64703893>orc womenAnon is a retard
>>64703634ty for the info anon
>>64696853>>64698855>>64697362Yes military spec rifles function as intended (and have for the last 70 years) and when you add commercial off the shelf mistery meat bullshit to it they do NOT work as intended. WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT????
>>64704000Well I just searched the Google.
