>>64913815oh, yeahwelcome to the clubyaaaay....
>>64914008mmm love my pistons chewed up from slamming the gas block rim
>>64914169I thought everybody was from a prison state, desu senpai.>Can we get some regime change at home, pls
>>64914229It’s not going to chew up your piston unless it’s made of fucking aluminum or some shit, AKs are tough, they DGAF.
This is now an AK full-auto gif thread. Post AKs blasting full auto cuz that’s what they were made for and do best.
What the fuck are these gay as wait times nigga?
luv me sum milled receiver action
Any anons got aks with cans on? Post cans pls.Have cat
Meridian Defense or ALG trigger?
>>64914426It will if its a Zastava
>>64914689>>64914718just ordered an alg for my minijack, I think the meridian is cool but not enough data on it
>>64915190is barwarus top rail available anywhere?
>>64914689>>64915233yea that sucker is super outta stock
One of my rivets came loose can I replace it myself or am I gonna have to pay someone to do it for me? Id post a picture but im at the bar rn
>>64916322Which one? The upper rivets on the front trunnion can't be accessed unless you press the barrel out
>>64916329It's a lower rivet. I think its the one near the trigger? I havent fired it since discovering it as I don't wanna lose my hand.
>>64916333This one? This is the center support rivet. You'll need a drill press to remove it. Its possible to form rivets by hand with a hammer but they'll look hideous. If I were you I'd see if you can find a gunsmith that will do the work for less than the cost of a AK long rivet tool https://www.tothtool.com/product/ak-long-rivet-tool/
>>64916349Fuck my life okay thanks anon
>>64916359Also, depending on the scope rail and its design that will have to be removed too. Some scope rails cover up the other end of the rivet. If you can access the backside it might be worth beating it with a punch. Sorry
>>64915190>ALG in WBPRIP carrier tail
worth?
>>64913988Sexy ass 103.
>>64917002can I see some examples?
>>64918761Surehttps://letmegooglethat.com/?q=alg+bolt+carrier+tail+peening
>>64918836yea im not scared of regular alg peening
Anyone here get one of these 13 inch gen 1 galils? Or a galil in general? Seems like it would be a fun gun to set up for night vision.
>>64918846Do you understand what a bolt carrier tail is for? Your gun. Do what you want, retard
>>64919150I bought it fuck it yoloGLORY TO BENJAMIN NETANYAHU AND THE LEGITIMATE STATE OF ISRAEL
Czech tracers
>>64919347>Do you understand what a bolt carrier tail is for? Your gun.a truly shocking revelation
>>64919347ALGs tend to snoosh up all sorts of carriers. If someone wants it, idgaf, it'll probably be fine
>>64919457Anon you are supposed to give up your guns not own them!!! That is antisemitic.
>>64922404I'm sorry I am a bad goy, but buying an IWI gun was the only way I could think of to directly deposit my tax return back to the israeli military
Anyone have a source for REAL OKP7? And rec for a AK-103 clone-ish? Was thinking SLR-107FR.
>>64913988Bought a MAK-90 off a guy a while back for a good price and upon realizing one of its prior owners FUCKING GORILLA GLUED the thumbhole stock and T-nut into the receiver, it collected dust in my closet until such a time I graduated from anger management class and was prepared to deal with it.Today was the day. The tang and grip screws required heat and an impact screwdriver to remove. I won the battle with only minor screw head stripping and, God be good, for my effort I discovered I was blessed with a straight cut/squareback receiver as Father Kalashnikov intended.Now the question is what furniture do I want to put on it? I understand that almost invariably there will be minor fitting from the extra thickness of the stamped receiver. Are side folders a meme? Tupperware or wood? Railz or no?
>>64923428Get Tapco intrafuse stock from gunbroker.
>>64923428The reason it was glued was MAK-90s were notorious for having super wobbly stocks, not matter how much you tightened them, the first AK I ever shot was a MAK-90, and the stock was wobbly as shit.
>>64923428Try and find a Chu set, would be what I'd do. Since you let it sit for awhile, continue until you can get the correct furniture, imo.PolytechParts.com might have something, but i doubt they have stocks (at least not wood)>It'll probably end up costing as much as the rifle, unfortunately.Here's a set, says they ship to the US but it's a little pricey.https://www.russ-guns-de.net/en/ak47/akm-wooden-stock-set-norinco-china-model-56-2
>>64923475Fuck, it's airshit furniture. My bad, I just grabbed it based on the picture.
>>64923446What's the calculus on this stock? Is it primarily the on-the-fly length adjustability? I guess that could help in dialing in the eye relief too - I do plan on adding a red dot.>>64923465Interesting. I had (and later sold) a MAK-90 some years ago with the poly dragunuv stock and it was solid from what I remember. But I had never owned or handled one with the wood thumbhole. Not only was there glue, there was also red threadlocker on the tang screw. PO went a little nuts but maybe it was for a reason.>>64923475Ideally yes, but as you said it's too spendy. I just want something that works.
>>64922883>real OKP-7 One on the files recently but it was like $800. Not worth to me desu. Get a chink one for 100.>SLR-107Yeah definitely get the chink knockoff since you've got the Bulgarian commerical knockoff.
>>64923428Cheap Chinese crap is good enough for Ukrainians it's good enough for you
>>64917964Probably.
>>64923651Whatever this is, I don't think the drunk peasant assembled it correctly. Not only did this dude throw away the instructions, he didn't even look at the picture on the box.
>>64923428hit up kalashcarver on IG.. he makes shit for MAKs all the time.
>>64923647As opposed to a $3K KR-103? Or some Zastava or WASR non 100 series pattern? Maybe a Krebs clone with all the wrong features?
>>64922883>>64924918If you're fine with a non folding stock variant, LegionUSA has a bunch of new old stock KR 103's, I got mine from them a few weeks ago and its been great. Tax free. They are low serial numbered too, the one I got from them was in the 3XXX numbered range.
>>64925253That's a really good deal alas I was wanting a polymer folder and feel I shouldn't compomise on features.
>>64920121>he still doesn’t know
Were there any chink AKs with a threaded muzzle and a bayonet lug? If so, what models? Everything I’ve seen for sale is in ban config.
>>64925253>>64925552KR-103 was built by black people in Florida. Something to keep in mind.
>>64925803I mean, what's wrong with the product itself? Do you own one, or are you just repeating some other persons sentiment that you read online about issues that arose towards the end of the companies manufacturing run.
>>64923428I'm not retarded by suggesting an arsenal furniture set from kvar right? Square cut means that'll fit?
>>64925875do you own one or are you assuming theyre actually made well
>>64926085Yes, I do. And yes they are, probably the nicest firearm I own. The finish is immaculate and the action is insanely smooth. I suggested for >>64922883 to take a look at one since they were interested in finding a 103. I mentioned that these models weren't the folding stock ones, and if they were willing to look past that they're a really good deal, especially considering there's no sales tax on them. That's not an argument you can make in good faith towards not purchasing something that might meet their needs. Oh let's guess, they should just buy a WASR right? Or pay some boomer 4k on Gunbroker for a build with a Saiga 5.5mm receiver?
>>64923662shipping is $10 up for up to five then it goes up to 14idk if I should buy these I already bought a 20 pack of the 30rd and 40rd ACUnity ones but I already broke one >>64872796 so it would probably be nice to have some thats steel
>>64915190>just ordered an alg for my minijackkek, enjoy that firing pin while you can
>>64925875Had one and sold it. Shot like 7 MOA, even worse than my 5.56 WBP. Made by blacks is not synonymous with quality. Learned my lesson and I only buy combloc AKs from military arsenals now.
>>64925875>>64926476Oh forgot to add, out of the box it couldn’t accept any magazines except the KUSA one it shipped with. I had to file the shit out of the catch to get it to accept surplus mags. Its built to black people tolerances which is arguably worse than shit ass PSA.
>>64922883aJust so you are aware SLR series are not 100 series AK, they are just variations of the 74. If you are going to spend that much on an SLR see if you can get an SGL since you want a 100 clone.
>>64926476>>64926492Sorry yours sucked I guess?
>>64926532Sold it to some redditor for more than I paid for it and I bought an SLR107FR, so its all good. I was an early adopter pre-folder with a low serial. Browse the threads in the archive or on the files, lots of QC issues. If you are dying to own an American made AK, I would save a little more and get the 103 from Meridian. Its a boutique manufacturer that likely does not hire black people to build AKs. Pic rel was my KR
>>64926141they should get the SLR or get a WASR
>>64926141>Oh let's guess, they should just buy a WASR right? Yes, WASR, ZPAP or a WBP Jack. Do not buy an American made AK under any circumstances, no matter how nice the finish is. WBP Jack has a better finish anyway so your reasoning is retarded.
>>64925781>Were there any chink AKs with a threaded muzzle and a bayonet lug?Yes, they're called "Prebans".>If so, what models?Type 56 and its variations (56-1, 56-2, etc) Type 84 and its variants, Type 86, Type 88 etc.
>>64927443Who did China make 5.45 guns for?
>>64927443The preban terminology is irritating because every retard calls their rifle preban, like this faggot boomerhttps://www.gunbroker.com/item/1150775435
>>64927456The US consumer market? North Korea?>I'm honestly unsure>>64927533Yes, it's retarded but it's still technically correct since even the MAKs and NHMs were banned in the '94 AWB."Preban" in regards to Chinese AKs should strictly be used for pre-89 "Chinese ban" rifles only.>but that'll never happen, because "they know what they got"
>>64925875Mines great, never had a problem with it
>>64927674They crushed tf out of that rivet above the folder. Did wuggy build your rifle? LmaoHow many rounds through it?
>>64927692Kikelantic shilling hard
>>64927804The rivets are alright its just the reciever, if wuggy was working there kusa would be on top. I got probably over 5k but I dont count
>>64927977>The rivets are alright its just the recieverthats even worse
>>64926613>get the 103 from Meridian. Its a boutique manufacturer that likely does not hire black people to build AKsnot only do they almost definitely have black people working there but the guns are probably kusa or wbp parts genius
>>64928035They claim everything is made in house. Idk about nigger staffing. I don't buy American made AKs anymore but you are a greasy kike for leaving out the part where I said >If you are dying to own an American made AK,Just admit your KUSA is trash
>>64928088none of that is reasoning to spend more on the meridian, by all means he should buy a arsenal if he wants the best we can get. That or get a saiga converted
>>64928792What in the goddamn...?
What's the fucking thread pitch for the handguard screw on a 12ga saiga?
>>64929256M5-.80 and the length is around 10-15mm, from what I found.
>>64929313Thank you, Now I can put the correct handguard back on this thing
it's not normal to have to tap a rs regulate side mount on and off with a hammer, is it?
can anyone tell me what pattern side mount this is?I thought it was an AKM pattern, so got the rs regulate ak302m, but the rail is longer than the mount, and once it's fully registered to the mount, the locking piece just flops around without grabbing anything
>>64930810no
>>64931308What AK is it? Does not look like your typical AK side rail nor odds ones like vepr or SVD. Is this some cheap American copy?
>>64931308I want to see it mounted. That's appears to be an AKM pattern rail, so I'm guessing you're doing something wrong.
SAM7SF locally for $1500. Includes RS regulate side rail and 2 waffle mags. Good deal or nah?
>>64932787>Anaheim caNice
>>64932984"Good deal" is subjective but purely in terms of money, yes that is cheaper than market value.I still wouldn't buy it because it's:(((Arsenal)))Heavier than needs to beStupid and proprietary folding mechanismBut it's probably fine. Just keep in mind that Armenian kike Vartan sources only the cheapest military reject parts for his company's rifles.
>>64931308bro the dimple looks crazy too, wtf is this a toy?
>>64925875I had one KUSA, never again. Had to bend top cover to be able to put it in place. Firing pin retainer pin was so loose it constantly fell out when removing the bolt from the carrier. Safety selector was loose too (although this is an easy fix, still unacceptable for a >1k$ rifle). Sight was so badly canted it was impossible to zero and had to ask a gunsmith to rotate the front post. Polymer furniture scratches easily.It's far worse than PSA and in that price range you can find quality imports like WBP or Zastava.
>>64913988There are a few on the bottom of the sea right now, for the pickings
>>64934299quick, someone grab them
Vladimir Onokoy talks about the Azerbaijan AKs.https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/aks-from-azerbaijan-iglim-are-coming-to-the-usa-44826478
>>64935270they're gonna be dogshit, like everything else that comes out of that shithole
>>64935855they dont have to be good, they just have to be better than PSA.Its a bar you can step over.
Big day for PSL enjoyers
>>64935270>Allegedly, a third country provided equipment and expertise that allowed the Azerbajani factory to expand its product line.They don't want to tell you it's Israel.
>>64936435You're probably right. Is Azerbaijan still genociding Christians?
Can you really do anything to fix canted sights on a full size draco?
>>64936701Last I heard the Azeris killed everybody or expelled them. The US can't be bothered and anyway Israel admires them for taking care of their own little captive problem population.
>>64937414>Last I heard the Azeris killed everybody or expelled them. The US can't be bothered and anyway Israel admires them for taking care of their own little captive problem population.Which side is white? Thats the side I support.
>>64937466Well neither, but one of them is aligned with jews (the Azeris) so if you care about white people then you default to the side that isn't aligned with the final boss.
>>64931308>>64932904>>64932787There is a small hex adjustment on the underside of the RS regulate rail.
>>64932787>>64932904>>64934209>>64937650I figured it outturns out, the bottom of the locking piece on the rail was catching on the face of the mount in these two placesI filed those down some and now it goes on and off properlyand yes, it's American (Riley) because it's the only thing gun stores carry in my shithole of a state (NY)
>>64937650post crease
>>64937774I knew you could figure it out.>RileySorry m8. Enjoy your rifle. Itll probably be fine. >They can't all blow up or they'd be out of business, right?Pic semi related
>>64937774>Rileyshould've got a VSKA or at least a wuggy crease build
I'm not really an AK guy and in fact sold mine a month ago but have been doing a little research since a retarded friend of mine is into them. Ive seen some ambi/left side charging modifications to AKs, is there any reason why no one has done one by making small cuts into the left side of the dust cover and attaching a handle there?
>>64940144>whyIt gives you another egress point into the receiver, requires more work to do for not much benefit (either welding a new handle on or making an entirely new forging pattern and revising the cover in the stamping pattern), you still have to have the massive cutout on the right side of the gun for ejection and the safety lever, and a massive subset of the AK consumer market just wants to LARP Red Dawn (on either side) or something like it, so they wouldn't be interested in it.What company would even do it?>PSAThey are too lazy to rivet properly, why would they start putting in extra effort on modifying their carriers and dust covers? If they did, it'd be no better than an aftermarket conversion you can already buy and do yourself.>ImportsWBP might, but then there's their own issues on producing good designs (see WBP 5.56 bolt design).Also there is a factory left-side charging Kalashnikov action rifle, it's called the Galil ACE.>inb4 not an AK
>>64940144>s there any reason why no one has done one by making small cuts into the left side of the dust cover and attaching a handle there?multiple companies have done this google harder
Is there a market for original, soviet (Tula) plum furniture?
>>64940482Yes but it's a niche of a larger but still niche market. Plum furniture is popular but remember that 90% of people buying it wouldn't care if it were the OG plums in your pic or if they were amerifat "plum" abortions like in mine. US made plum furniture is wildly cheaper than the good stuff.
>>64940482>is there a market for original, sovietYes, genuine Soviet stuff always gets bought at absurd prices, even compared to other Warsaw Pact surp of the exact same patterns. You don't have to use any more words than that, some schmuck will buy it.
>>64940531C'mon now. Barney purple "plum" is very sought after in Malaysia
how shit is it?
>>64941660Are these from the same Chinese factory as the lynxes it is that different vepr clone? Because those are the ones that you're looking for.
>>64941660It's "fine," it's passable for current year, metallurgy is fine and it won't eat shit in sub-500 rounds.Mostly proprietary parts (if you're interested in modifying or future repair) and mags are both relatively expensive ($30 at gunmagwarehouse) and frequently out of stock though, so ymmv outside of buying the gun itself.There are far worse ways to spend $300.>>64941896The Lynx 12 was a Saiga clone that was almost 1-to-1 to the Saiga 12, not imported or manufactured anymore. The JTS-12 is a different project, not nearly as well-designed and itself being an entirely different design beyond "take an AK and make it 12 gauge."Neither are clones of the Vepr-12.
>>64941660I got one of these for $258 shipped, but that was over a year and a half ago, the dollar has gotten worse.
>>64941660BTW this is nearly $100 cheaper on lockedloaded.
>>64941992>>64941984>>64941928>>64941896Is there something better for around the same price and up to ~$600?
>>64941996You can occasionally find a used or new old stock Lynx 12 (or its older import name Cheetah 12 or the even older DDI 12) for sale/auction. The only other option is getting extremely lucky on finding a kitchen counter FFL with old stock Saigas from 2014 somehow still kicking around willing to sell at the 2014 price.Otherwise no, there is no "click to buy now" option you'll find for that price range that's also an AK shotgun.If you just want a semiauto shotgun, you can find (used) Mossberg 930s in that price range if you look around and are willing to gamble on auctions or pawnshops.Don't buy Turkshit on principle, it'll save you money (and your fingers).
>>64942093>pov: you brought your new Turkroach shotgun to the range for the first time
I just finished with dressing up my aes10b2. Virgin Russian surp rear stock, Romanian surp hand guards, surp cleaning rod, molot mag, and nos Russian rpk sling. It looks 100x better than with the stock blond wood year come with
>>64942836
>>64942836>>64942838Looks good big dog
>>64942848Yeah, took me long enough to snag an rpk, I still kick myself in the ass for missing out when they were $400.00 back in the day. Still feels good though. I also threw a cleaning kit in the stock to really finish it off
First time firing an AK. I fired 80 or so rounds out of this American knockoff last week. I don’t know if the frame is 1:1 to other AK’s, but I’ve heard that AK’s were heavy or unwieldy, so I was really surprised by how light, slim, and “natural” feeling it was, not much recoil and not bulky at all. It felt not that different from an AR of the same barrel length and caliber.
>>64942972Theres a lot of fuddlore with aks my man, most of it is trash and comes from boomer vets or nogunz. There is some truth here and there is nuance to these things but a lot of if it garbage
>>64942836Now all you need is a 45rd bake.
>>64943819>45rnd bakeNot going to do much good in a 7.62x39 RPK.
>>64942972Based. Wait til you try a good one. AKs are fucking awesome weapons.
>>64940144Why do you retards always try to “fix” a proven system? Just train around it and learn the platform for fuck sake its not hard
Thoughts?Full size draco. Manticore Chinese Stock. Zhukov U handguard (without removing retaining plate). Deadair wolverine. Dog leg rail. Enhanced safety select and mag release.
>>64944065>Full size draco. Yes>Manticore Chinese Stock. No>Zhukov U handguard (without removing retaining plate). No>Deadair wolverine. Yes>Dog leg rail. No>Enhanced safety select and mag release.NoTrunnion swap, wire folder and surplus dong
>>64944065spic gun
>>64944076I appreciate the desire for a classic aesthetic. However I'm gonna defend the dog leg rail since the draco doesn't have a side optics mount.Here. My KS12.
>>64944065>Type 56-C at home
>>64944202Kinda goes hard. I'm surprised they didn't go with a combo gas block and front sight post.I like the Chinese Stock. Especially if you color match the furniture on it.
>>64944243>I'm surprised they didn't go with a combo gas block and front sight postDon't think the Chinese made a combo GB/FSB, at least not one that was adjustable like the 56C is.
>>64944282Oh it's adjustable...now that is really nice. Never liked how they hooded their front sight posts but it's a minor gripe.I've been thinking of getting the PSA krink in 300 blackout. It's a sin I know but I think it's kinda neat. And I can use my suppressor on it.
>>64944282>Don't think the Chinese made a combo GB/FSBThe Type 81 commercial imports to the US had a combination fsgb. Other Type 81 variants (including the Canadian commercial ones and most of the Burmese variants) use a two-piece system where the front sight block is a separate piece that couches on the front of the gas block.Pic is the fsgb gas block design I mean, it's from a listing for one of the few examples stateside (there's like 20-25 of them).The Type 81 is a short-stroke piston design, but that gas block could very easily be dropped into an AK and that adjustment could very easily be retrofitted to itYou're correct on adjustable gas blocks, but they did make a fsgb.
draco came in im debating if I want to SBR it. I also bought a Zastava M70 not too long ago fit and finish wise its a much nicer gun and imo worth the increased cost
>>64944432also my barrel nut wasn't welded on
>>64944456Dracos are pistols, 922(r) only applies to rifles and shotguns. I have also never heard of a Draco of any kind having a welded muzzle nut since 2004 when the AWB expired other than ban state modifications.>wood pistol gripWhy do they even make these? They aren't "clone correct" for clonefags, they're worse grip texture otherwise and they just look weird; is it just boomers being retards with "muh wood?"Zastava still makes the plastic grips since they offer them for mil contracts and a few commercial variants, why do they make these God-awful wood grips
>>64944432>finish wise its a much nicer gundesu thats probably the only category it beats cugir for me
I love all AK's. They smell good unlike women.
>>64944535I think it's a 922r thing. The furniture being US made, is one of the (3 according to the 922r "list", iirc [buttstock grip and handguards]) easiest compliance components to have made state side.As to why that pattern, probably not a lot of "extra" manufacturing necessary over say a standard Yugo pattern grip, so it's cheaper.
>>64944713That makes sense looking over 922r parts, it still offends my autism greatly thoughIt just looks so wrong to have a wood grip on a stamped AK
>>64944753>It just looks so wrong to have a wood grip on a stamped AKDepends on the stamped AK, imo.
My Bulgarian WW kit build
>>64942836Nice.
>>64944432Do it. SBR’d Draco is fucking based
>>64943864>side folding para rpk Fucking kino my man, That’s the one I wanted from Atlantic back in the day. If I ever get another rpk, it’s going to be that one. >>64943819I have had 2 5.45 rpk74 red bake mags since 2011 and used them from time to time on my tantal. I just need a rpk74 to go with it, hopefully someone makes a good clone one day. I also have a Romanian 75rnd drum in the closet somewhere, I need to track it down
>>64945651>If I ever get another rpk, it’s going to be that one¿Que? That "one" is a just furniture change away from your AES10B.Tracking down the RPK dong might be hard if you want a Romy one, but I'm sure one of the custom ak furniture guys makes one.And Polish wire folders are fairly available.>Well...it's at least doable but it'll end up ~$400
>>64943864What is the point of a dong on an rpk? Romanians are fucking bizarre lol
>>64945731The crutch folding stocks are not as commonly found or as cheap as they use to be, also the base gun is expensive too same with finding the rest of the hand guards (rpk, not dong).
>>64945731Also this one is done I’m not Messing with it, I would buy a second one and build it in the para config. It would be cool to have both patterns in the collection, both work even better with my rpd
What drum mags are worth buying?
>>64946478as far as i care, the KCI and Romanian ones, but those are really probably the only ones you'd see in stock lol
>>64946478Top loading romy>>64946693>KCINewfag

>>64947266what faggot, can i not mention KCI
I put in a AGP-A-20S small bore KNS piston in my SAM5-94 after noticing it was just slightly overgassed and now I have a fucking $2000 single-shot 5.56 AK.How can I unfuck this?
I learned something todayhammer springs fucking hurt
>>64947278that is do not ak sar
>>64947727Easy solution, reinstall the original piston? Use one of the other alternatives to reducing the gas such as the gas trap that is sold on Arms of America. Have you tried contacting KNS to see have they any easy fixes?

Finished my M77 stock with 2:1 Zinsser amber shellac and denatured alcohol. If I angle fraud harder than a fat bitch on hinge it looks pretty close to the factory finish but its not perfect. Just going to live with it. At some point I might buy an airsoft SVD cheek riser and brute force it into working. >where trigger?waiting on CMC trigger
made the sling mount by drilling out a 5/16 steel round rod. I used this too sleeve some random wood screw I had around. I made the butt pad out of a rubber bench block from Amazon. I don't recommend this. I was expecting the rubber block to be monolithic but instead it was made out of several layers that were glued together. These layers would split has I cut them. You can't tell from a distance but if you get up really close you can see some lacerations.

Impulse bought one of these on sale. I think I've got enough spare parts to fill in everything but the bolt carrier. I think I'll try my luck using the PSA AK-V bolt. If everything works out I'll have a $300 ghetto blaster. The only thing I'll have to put effort into fixing is the missing magwell. I already have a bunch of Sa-26, PPS-43 and Sten magazines so I'll just have to fabricate some kind of sheet metal adapter.
I know it's not a steal, but in your guys' opinion is $1250 for an Atlantic built Polish AK (fixed stock, side rail) a reasonable price?
>>64952225post the link and I'll look. Im lazy and drunk
>>64952230It's local. From going over it it's in great condition. Technically used but basically brand new
>>64952335Im still gonna say get a WASR.
>>64952225NOPE
>>64952207This would be a good candidate for a Gepard-ish knock off.>>64952225Do you know what barrel? Normally I'd parrot what that other anon said and tell you to get a WASR, but an AK that you have in hand and are able to inspect is a way easier sell.So if it's got an ok barrel and that price isn't gonna put you in the poor house, sure why not.
Should I get a Nova Modul PCC from AoA or get a Colt 635 clone from PSA? 9mm is the only 'real' caliber I can afford to shoot. Also going to get a Ruger mkIV to do bullseye shooting to embrace my poorfag arc.
I have a box of ~10 7.62 steel mags and a few plum 5.45 mags I bought about 12 years ago.Should I flip them or buy a whole new carbine and a new caliber?What other calibers work in steel 7.62 or plum 5.45 mags?
>>649526995.45 > 5.56 followersIf you are interested in selling them you can always put them on the AK files, just make sure to let the retards here know first before mokasjewrifus get their hands on it.
>>64952410What is a fair price than?>>64952466It's a Polish CHF chrome barrel, aren't these better than WASR's?

>>64931308Whack ass receiver, but that looks like Carolina shooters US made AKM rail.
need some advicetrying to fit a new stock to my receiver, pic relatedthat gap is even all around, and there's still some gap in the tangwhere should I file to close the gap? first fitting so I don't want to mess it up
>>64954952here's one from the top as well
>>64954952>>64954960Looks like you could just give it a few good hits at the plate with a rubber mallet to drive it home. Also, make a small pilot hole for your stock screw so you don't accidentally split the wood. In my opinion you would only need to file if you were having gross difficulty in fitting the stock to the receiver.
>>64954952Put some thin paint or something similar on the stock where it inserts into the receiver, install the stock again, and see where it rubs. Lightly remove material from those sections and reinstall again. Repeat until it fits how you want it.
>>64955167sadly, that's after tapping it with a mallet
>>64955216Ah. Maybe >>64955186's method will work for you. I'm sure everything will work out just fine with it, just needs a little more attention is all.
>>64955216You should have done some more filing, have fun getting that out of there now.
>>64945846Thats not a crutch folder you fucking retard
>>64955283couple taps with the rubber mallet loosened it enough to come out by hand
>>64955352Keep us posted. I'm going to have to do this for the first time soon myself.
Moka's Raifus sold me a "Bright Red - Excellent" Romanian surplus pistol grip for $20 and it is neither Excellent nor Bright Red. It's not even red at all it's brown and worn as fuck
>>64955919>got bamboozled by a jew shocking
>>64955923is he? eeewwwwwwwwwwwww
>>64948954>>64948983Empty 12 ga. Shotgun shell works great for this btw.
>>64955919yeah.Mokas Raifus also sells (or sold) GOOD QUALITY! Romanian gas tubes with upper handguards... that may or may not have a crack in it. Literally says the wood may be cracked (and i mean big crack) in the description. Why in the FUCK would I pay for something that could potentially be a coinflip between great quality or cracked open? Seriously makes zero sense.but whatever, I've gotten good stuff for decent prices from Mokas. Just read the description and try not to get bamboozled ig idk lolol
>>64952699The plums skyrocketed because of the 5.45 to 5.56 follower swap meta. Now, you can't get plums for less than 70 and frequently higher. Personally, I blame redd*t. Fucking faggots over there ruining anything they get their grubby fat fingers on.
>>64955919>he bought from a jewish flipperanon
>>64954952Get a mallet and WHACK the shit out of it where I colored green for you. You need to hit it at an angle, I colored blue for you.It won't mar the finish but does leave rubber marks from the mallet. If you don't like that, wrap the stock in a towel before hitting it.
>>64955955>>64954952Oh you're trying to install the stock. Remove it using the technique I posted, then sand the sides of the insert that goes into the receiver. Don't sand too much or it'll he loose.
>>64954952>>64954960Don't need to file anything. Mortar the shit out of the butt until it seats. Do it on carpet or a rug if you're scared of scratching the buttplate.>>64955955based illiterate retard
>>64955973What can I say, I fit right in hereAlso since >>64948613 anon is posting, I'm switching gears again on this stock. Some guy on AK files opened my eyes to his PSL-to-SVD stock project and I'm going to do it as well. I'll do it even better too.With that being said I'll probably sell the stock in this pic. It's a project stock so it won't be super expensive. I'll post the pic of the work it needs
>>64955919sucks but you can clean it up a bit with mineral spirits and then repolish it.
>>64956001The inspiration
>>64956001Current stock damage.Note - the stock itself is fine. The damage is only on the insert and wood filler I used.
>>64956012
>>64955919Spray with Ballistol, you're welcome
>>64956004>>64956064thanks but it will never turn brown into bright red
>>64956083Get your money back. Moka is a kike who buys deals off the marketplace and flips it to suckers for twice the price.
With AK pattern 12 guages is it normal for the plastics in the wad to accumulate in the gas system?I have a V12 and last time I cleaned it there was plastic in front of the gas puck
My builder just went radio silent. Reached out last week, no response. How long until I just show up at his crib?
>>64948993You can tell who the redditoids are at local matches because of their gay tattoos and patches
>>64956102He won't even say the nigger word
>>64956371Yes its normal to have some plastic fouling. It will accumulate in bore scratches, gas ports etc. >>64956745Local guy or a well known builder? Have you used him before?
>>64952466>This would be a good candidate for a Gepard-ish knock off.Maybe. If making my own magwell proves too hard then I'll give up and Gepard it. I have a couple unbuilt of P80 frames that I can use. However, I did just realize that I might run into issues using a PSA AK-V carrier. The AKV uses a shortened receiver while the Nak9 uses a full length receiver. I'm going to embarrass myself by thinking out loud so someone smarter can check my logic:I have a problem because now I have to do math for the recoil spring. Both guns are direct blowback which means they rely on the mass of the bolt + forward force of the recoil spring to keep the breech closed. Ideally I would use an AKV spring with the AKV bolt carrier but I can't do that because of the receiver length, the AKV spring is too short for the Nak9 receiver. I need my custom recoil spring to be = AKV spring despite being a different overall length. Essentially I need (AKV carrier + AKV spring force) = (AKV carrier + custom spring force) I don't want to end up with an underpowered spring that makes the gun blowup. I know there are charts for mass: caliber ratio for blowback actions but I'm lazy and hate math. I might hack off the back of the receiver so that the travel distance is the same and I can fit the AKV recoil spring. Also, its not like an AR where I can just buy a spring with a known force. I'm gonna have to do all the measuring myself. Of course none of this means anything if the mass of the bolt alone is enough to keep the bolt in battery until the pressure is safe. Perhaps the spring force isn't factored in to the effective bolt mass but I don't know these things for sure. I don't want to make assumptions for this stuff. Maybe I'm overthinking this.I will gladly accept someone smarter humiliating me
>>64957537wait im dumb I figured it out. sorry. im overthinking it. stay in school kids. don't stay up too late
>>64948613Very cool anon. Here's mine.
>>64955503I got it as good as I think I canthere's still a fingernail's width of a gap on the sides, but the tang is fully seated and I'm not going to try grinding out more insert for a fingernail's widthmostly had to sand material off the front and the ledge that butts up against the trunniontook me a while just because I was really taking my time with itit's a snug fit, with just a touch of left/right wiggle, and can be removed by handI think it's a pretty good result for a first attempt
>>64958270Good job. That gap is actually supposed to be there. It helps prevent the stock from splitting
>>64958270>wiggleDumbass they're supposed to be fit inside so tightly that you can use your buttstock to buttstroke the shit out of someone. Now you can't.
I bought some of those yugo mags from PSA they were covered in cosmoline
>>64959181One of them the bottom was bent so the clip that holds the spring in wouldn't stay latched I was able to bend it back and get it to holdI originally was going to use dawn dish soap in the ultrasonic but it had too many suds so I went with dishwasher powder
>>64959187There were some light surface rust spots and all the springs had a few spots with rust nothing major
>>64959193I need to test them out and see how well they work
>>64959198after tax and shipping they came out to around $16 a piece Did I get burnt?
>>64959212No that's a pretty normal price.
>>64957218>Local guy or a well known builder? Have you used him before?Yes to all three.
>>64959679Give him another week then reach out again.You don't need to get heavy-handed until it's been a couple months. Bro is probably just busy or has other shit going on. My experience, I had a guy go radio silent for 2 weeks and I began getting worried. Turns out he had a heart attack and was in the hospital. Shit happens man
Anyone know what grip this is?Looks a bit like a Tango Down battlegrip but what's with the A2 style finger bump
>>64958270lmao you're not supposed to file the stock you fucking idiot, you're supposed to hammer it in until it fits. now your stock wobbles and it will forever remind you how retarded you are until you sell it out of shame
>>64959725>I had a guy go radio silent for 2 weeks and I began getting worried. Turns out he had a heart attack and was in the hospital.That's my concern. Texted yesterday and asked if he's still alive, hasn't even read the message. Builders always seem stressed out.
Also what is the best way to put a threaded AR stock/tube on a Draco? USMG has a stock adapter but it looks a bit clumsy tbqh. Changing out the rear trunnion would be a pain but I do want to larp as HWS
>>64959212$15-$20 is the general "going rate" for surp steel mags, so you did fineAs long as the rust isn't impeding on function and you stopped the growth (oil them) they'll be fine and will outlive you (assuming you continue to maintain them).>>64959734It's very clearly meant to be a US Palm grip on general shape alone. Pic related.The real one doesn't have that finger groove, it's another of those "change it a bit to for legalese reasons" things like the mag ridges (it's supposed to be a Magpul mag), the stock's center support (it's supposed to be a Magpul CTR, which has no arm going into the QD from the bottom) and the stock's lack of cheek riser cutouts (again, CTR stock).
>>64959762It's gonna be a little bit of work but I've got faith in you big fella.https://stormwerkz.com/stock-adapters/ak-pistol-adapter-type-2/
>>64959762>best way to put a threaded AR stock/tube on a Draco?trunnion swap to akm and use a tube for an akm tang. Easiest way would be put pic on the back like that
>>64959762btw the dragoon is a mini draco
>>64960292Based autist. Tyfys
>>64959738Doesn't wobble with the screws inAnd hammering won't do anything with too much material
>>64961270>Doesn't wobble with the screws ingive it time, if you actually shoot (which you dont) recoil will wear it in and your stock will wobble>And hammering won't do anything with too much materialyou don't use an actual hammer newfag. you mortar it on the ground until it seats
>>64914229lmao westerners thinking AKs are fragile.
>>64936329kurds already said they're not gonna do it, because they believe (rightfully) that the US will abandon them and they'll be slaughtered.fool me once, etc. (and they've been fooled many, many times).
>>64961914Fool me once, shame on youYou fool me, can't get fooled again.
I was planning to get an m77 a couple years back, but didnt have the cash on hand. Given the war starting back up, I thought to revisit this interest. Now its sold out everywhere. There is one of gunbroker for a 50% mark-up. fml
>always see people on xitter complaining about x39 price>can never find anyone irl to take mineLiterally can't even get rid of some mags for free.
>>64963074>x39Which one, niggerThere are five (5) different cartridges that use 39mm as their case length nomenclature that I can actively buy on the US commercial market, and there are commercial AKs in 3 of them.
>>64963142it's obviously 7.62x39 retardnot being able to infer things from common turns of phrase means you are either autistic or stupid
Now that Kalinka has dried up where's the best place to find dovetail mount scopes?
>>64963244Communication requires both parties to know what the other is specifically talking about to reduce confusion, so we use specific nomenclature that is agreed upon in advance (usually on an industry-wide scale, such as in this case with SAAMI and CIP calling it "7.62x39").
>>64963383100% autism
>>64963142There's a 6.5 Grendel AK??
>>64960292So wait is it just the JMac Customs rear trunnion? Something like picrel?>>64962719This looks really good too who makes the railed dust cover
>>64963509Molot makes Veprs in 6.5 Grendel, yes.You can occasionally find one secondhand still but they're harder to get now than before the import ban for obvious reasons. Csspecs makes 10, 20 and 30-round mags for them.I sincerely wish another company would pick up the idea, it's not a big ask all things considered because of the parent case being 7.62x39.
>>64961904You don’t own an AK
>>64963074>x395.45 or 7.62?
Where can I find a romy drum mag in stock thats reasonable price? Should I just get a KCI?
>>64963383shut up bozo
>>64963591I found one $137 after shipping and tax
>>64963591>KCIno
>>64963524AK-200 from KC, in my opinion should've been the AK-74 replacement
>>64964061Oh whoa legit Kalash OEM? Same with the lower handguard I assume?Been looking for a decent aftermarket one but they're hard to find and I don't want to buy from (((Zahal)))
>>64914456OH LOOK! its the fully automatic flashbang dispenser!
>>64963524actual dragoon is mini draco trunion swapped to akm tang with a buffer tube from vltor, the easy alternative way is put picatinny on the back and get a picatinny buffer tube
>>64960292i forgot i literally made this image, heres an update with the suppressor
>>64957742thanks nigga. Is that OG furniture or aftermarket?>>64956009>>64956012>>64956016I've seen people make PSL to Dragunov handguard retainer clamps. I don't think your saiga will take PSL furniture by default unless install a handguard mount or drill out the handguard for the screw
Looking to put a 74 style brake on an m70.Which 14x1 to 24x1.5 adapter to use? Looking at Strela and Armacon. They seem about the same. Leaning toward strela. Looking at Arsenal AK-140B for the brake, I like the chrome lining.This setup should work right? Some reviews for brakes and adapters mention M70s having larger than expected detent pins. Is this something to worry about?
>>64965798It’ll be fine. If the detent pin has a larger circumference than the akm pins you could widen the notch or crank the adapter down against the front sight and rockset it. If the pin is too long, it’ll fit perfect. The arsenal muzzle device is great. Ran one on my saiga/103 for years before cutting it down and sbring to 104 length due to overgassing.
I want to thank you fellas for helping me with all my questions this past couple weeks getting my AK how I want it (mostly)it's been quite the learning process and it's been very rewarding learning a new platformnow I need to move to a better state so I can get rid of that goofy ass grip
>>64966082Primary arms prism?
>>64966082Looks good, congratulations. Glad you were able to get everything figured out and hopefully the next time won't be as challenging. There's a particular component to AKM ownership that isn't present with AR stuff, I cant put my finger on it at the moment but it does make it a little bit more enjoyable. I do regret starting this late though. I stuck with AR's way before then and now that I'm exploring these all the fun stuff is gone or going away.
>>64966384yeah, glx 1x
>>64965040>>64965047So you'd need to drill out the rear trunnion and install a full size (Romanian, presumably)? Atlantic has one of those for pistol braces on the regular Draco which might be the way to go on this one
