>>64704868It's not price gouging that's just what you actually want costs. You want a meme out of production Valmet that hasn't been made in 50 years now. I'm not the boomer if anything you are for not buying an objectively better Zastava, Beryl, or any other more affordable alternatives. Instead you want an old boomer rifle.
I can pick up an Atlantic bfpu PM md65 build for $800 w/ 2x chink flat backs and 3x yugo bho mags for $800. All matching except for the reverse dong which is numbered to a different gun. Minimal barrel component cant and all rivets look good. Okay deal, right?
First for POLAND FEAR THE AMERICAN HARDNESS. Happy new year too.
Riley ak74 and Tela ammo? Thoughts?
hope all my ak bros have a comfy friday
Proposed to my GF yesterday. She said yes, which I knew she would. Feels like just yestersay when I first posted this Rob Ski-ass WBP on here, but that was before I started talking to her. Hickock45 voice: Life is good!
>>64705786That's a fantastic deal and you should already have bought it.>>64707246>Riley akGarbage>Tela ammoFine and corrosive as all combloc ammo should be.>>64707924God bless anon may you marry her and fill your home with many more AK enthusiasts
Did I do gud?>go to LGS>rummaging through a bucket the owner has of random mags>notice something distinctly orange>mfw 3 bakesI got them for $65 each. Two are "ridge" backs, and one is a "flat" back.
>>64708129Also two are "Cyrillic" numbers, if that matters.
I want to get into AKs but I'm torn on the ammo choices. I like the idea of 7.62x39 because it's big and bold and significantly different from 5.56x45 which I usually shoot. Is it still viable in currentyear or does 7.62x39 belong in a museum?
>>64708129>>64708131Pre-covid prices, good find. The cyrillics are a little more valuable.>>647082207.62x39 only reasonable choice.
>>64708220x39 isn't bad usually. Right now it's in a fucky situation due to current monke shenanigans though.
>>647082355.45? Yeah I agree
>>64708324>5.45Begone hipster. That shit died with the 7n6 imports.
>>64707093>more unobtanium I wantFuggg.>>64708129Considering I haven't seen any bakes since I bought my last like 7 years ago for $20 (5.45), not bad. And shit, people try to get like $40-50 out of fucking Chinese flatbacks. Still wondering who pisses money away like that.
Speaking of bake mags, how many bake mags is enough? Do you guys actually use them?
>>64708408theyre nothing special, just can't get em anymore. the real sauce is the prototype mags like https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1136910107 or the translucent plastic mags. years back one anon paid $800 for one of the old french stamped fleur de lis mags.
>>64708408yeah I actually use them, they are reliable and look nice out in the sunlight, I have 6 7.62 bakes and 6 5.45 bakes and 4 5.45 plums
