Yeah, I'm well aware of the shit quality of Chinese made shit.
But for less than $50 shipped to the USA....
I think I'm going to try it out.
It's an AK for fuck's sake....not some faggot ass mall ninja AR15. In the spirit of the AK, cheaply made shit is supposed to something or other.
Guys, I bought a BP02 Belarus mount and it looks different from the ones you find online (2 side screws instead of 4 and no "made in Belarus rollmarks) is there anything that should allow me to identify if it s a fake one ? Do fake ones even exist...

Let's stop for a minute and fucking think here before jumping onto buying garbage you and I both know is shit.
It may be less than $50 right? And when it does eventually fuck up and break, that's money wasted there, and it doesn't stop there. You're going to be constantly trying to fix it when the zero starts to wander around.
Everyone on these threads and better yet, everyone on fucking /k/ needs to stop making purchases soley on instant gratification. primary arms makes a good fucking optic with a good warranty for $160. Slap an rs mount on your gun and you have a really damn good setup for only ~330 bucks.
Or you can just be the retard that never learned to save his money for good quality shit and only wants EVERYTHING NOW NOW NOW NOW and wonder why he's poor
And for your question no, nobody fucking buys gun shit from ali baba because we'r
Just bought an awesome polish kit build from DA, and it's 100x nicer than my shitty Arsenal it replaced.
The problem is my eyes are shit. Really, really shit; so I'd like to put some type of magnified optic on it. Ideally it should be under $500 including the mount (and rings, if applicable). Something like a 1-4x or fixed 3x/4x would be ideal, it just needs to be really fucking rugged (and the screws shouldn't back out under recoil and need to be loctited).
While we are on the subject, does anyone recommend the POSP line of optics or is the PSO a much better buy? I want to get a 4x for my AK, but I've heard reviews all over the place on POSP's. I looked into the WPA ones and they are Chinese, so I'm just gonna avoid them. Plus, they are more expensive.
so i asked this in the previous thread:
for a 5.45 rifle that you plan on tacticooling, what would you faggots choose: an unconverted Saiga, a RWC converted Saiga, or a DDI Century build when they come out?
>>27790935
an sgl31
>>27790935
you could go with an slr104.
pic related is my fully 922r compliant tacticool blaster.
>>27790227
PSO is military and for x54r, posp is civilian and has bdc for x54r and 7.62x39. I have a 4x24, optics are very clear but it does sit up high and offset .75" to the left. Still have the ability to use irons with the scope attached and the illuminated recticle is for night or very low light shooting only, you can't see the illumination at all in daytime, even when cloudy

>>27791284

>>27792107
>kinda don't want a left side folder for side mount rail use
Then don't fold the stock. Literally the only time I fold my stock is when I have too little range bags and I need to make the rifle fit in something smaller. Other than that the stock is open 95% of the time.
SLR104s are the best 5.45 rifle on the market for the money.

>tfw only two spam cans of 7n6 left

A local gun shop was for the longest time selling Wolf 5.45 for like $0.21 a round and I would just buy large amounts from them because it was cheap and it supported a local business, but they suddenly stopped selling it and now I'm back to buying ammo online
>>27792140
if you've got a side mount rail, how's the return to zero?
>>27787692
So my 5.45 Saiga found its way back to me today. Thanks to Flandre for an excellent job done with perfect timing. Can't wait to take it out this weekend.
>>27792830
What's the difference between a 5.45 Receiver and a 7.62x39 Receiver?
can the guy who picked up his new SLR-104 recently say where he bought the rifle from?
I don't want to pay Atlantic prices and Prepper has stopped getting new Arsenal rifles in.
>>27792899
mag well.. i think thats about it.
I don't know much about AK brands but why does it seem like they all have a chance of having canted sights or having something else wrong with them. I want to buy one but all I hear is how they're all sort of flawed in one way or another.
>>27792934
because its a rifle designed to be mass produced. shitty tolerances and less attention paid to manufacturing comes with the territory.
unfortunately that mindset hasnt been changed when producing for consumers in smaller numbers. they just take less time spent making the weapon to increase profits.
It's just the nature of the beast. Buy in person or roll the dice.

The best thing about /akg/ is that if you're sporting an hohol, fascist, American, commie, Russian, Rhodesian, Chechen or whatever flag, but have a nice ak on it, no one with different positions opinions will sperg out
Anyone have pics of slavs operating with 74Us? Most pics of Russian troops I can find show them with standard AK-74Ms, AKS-74s, etc. But not 74Us.
>>27788033
There should be discussion on the acceptable '74 brands these days since Waffenwerks is sketchy.
Also, anyone have a suggestion for a good plum or dark cherry stain? Going to restain my WASR's stock / handguard again tomorrow.
>>27794727
SLR-104 is pretty much it. There isn't the same diversity of affordable 5.45 AKs as there is with 7.62x39.
Your best option for 5.45 is the SLR104. If you don't mind paying out the ass the SGL31 is great too. If you can find one for cheap and don't mind converting it 5.45 Saigas are also fantastic. VEPRs are also great if you don't mind the furniture or if you want to spend time and money swapping the furniture.
7.62x39 AKs have the easy answer: Buy a WASR. 5.45 AKs don't have it that way.
>>27792830
>Rifle converted by Flandre
>Haven't plugged those trigger holes
You and I, we are alike.
>>27792140
Arsenals are bottom-tier. They aren't the best anything for the money. Talk to Atlantic. Talk to Classic. Talk to Prepper. They'll all say that Arsenal QC is extremely poor and to expect moderate to severe cant on the gas block and sights. Hell, Arsenal is so shit that Prepper isn't even placing orders for them from K-VAR anymore because they have such a high defect rate.
>>27793261

Arsenal
Colt
Kimber
Remington
It's disappointing as fuck to see once legendary brands go to shit. At least you've got custom shops churning out god-tier AKs, and DDI has the affordable mid-range covered, so it's not like we don't have great options.
What do I buy if I want a nice 104 if Arsenal is out? I can't build that shit
>>27795766
I would personally get a 5.56 VEPR conversion from Krebs or Definitive, since buying 5.45 at this point is retarded; but if you insist on 5.45, Rifle Dynamics has some absolutely top-tier builds.
Just got an Arsenal SLR104. Its pretty nice and real "clean", unlike my Century AK's which have some blemishes and nicks and whatnot from the surplus parts. Overall, I'm very happy with it. Still have to shoot it, though.
One thing I have noticed also, and I'm actually not sure how I feel about it, though, is the toightness. My mags have 0 wobble, but not all of them fit. I have a few Russian surplus and some Fapco shit that won't even lock in. Any ideas on what I should do? It seems like the front notch needs to be a little deeper, but I've always just filed down the back tab in the past for my steel 7.62 mags. I've also filed down the catch on my WASR (and it works perfect now), but I'm a bit reluctant to do that here.
To add to that, I really don't feel like paying 50+ dollars for new Bulgy mags. Is there anything decent and more cost effective out there?

>>27795766
You can still buy Arsenal, but it would have to be in person or from Atlantic just to cover your ass.
>>27795744
lol, someone on the files said that Arsenal was just like Colt.
>>27795920
I was planning on atlantic, I guess they have a look at the rifles themselves Or do they just have a good return policy?
>>27795859
I'd deal with it for now. I don't know if magwells can break in, but its worth a shot.
Also post pics of new rifle. Where did you get it btw? I'm looking at picking a 104 up myself.

>cheaper

>>27795947
I ordered mine from RRC, they were good and very fast. The rifle is in good shape. No bullshit I could tell of.
>>27795947
Both. Their return policy is second to none. Make sure to specify in the order comments that you want the rifle inspected for cant before being shipped to you.
It may still have slight cant to it, but it wont be a worthless piece of shit that people can get elsewhere.
>>27795972
See >>27795993
I'll be getting some pics in the near future
>>27795993
>mfw RRC specifically states on the webpage for the 107FR that cant within mil-spec is perfectly acceptable and to be expected
lel fuck that noise.
>>27796052
I don't see whats wrong with like a 1mm cant. It doesn't affect operation and really unless you really were looking for it, you probably wouldn't notice. Now, I've seen some Century AK's and even an SKS that had a front sight canted so bad it really did fuck up the sight picture (which still wasn't enough to compensate for the cant).
Also, pics inbound of the Arsenal...
>>27795886
>still cheaper than 5.56
3-4¢ cheaper with a significantly smaller selection.
>better ballistics when comparing cheap shit fmj ammo
Source.
>better bc=accuracy
You can get sub-moa with 77gr Sierra MatchKings out of a Krebs build. Enjoy your 3-4moa Arsenal.
>less bolt thrust=less recoil, easier on parts
All stamped receivers all fail around the 80,000rd mark, be it 5.56, 5.45 or 7.62.
>lower pressure=longer barrel life
You'll destroy your receiver before you shoot out a 4150 nitrided barrel.
Your slavaboo fuddlore is adorable.
>>27796009
Prepper Gun Shop has a better return policy. Purchased an SLR107-34 that came with 5 extra pmags, and had emailed them asking them to make sure it wasn't canted before sending it out. Turns out it was canted, so they told me they called up K-VAR and asked them to send one directly to my FFL after ensuring it wasn't canted.
Problem is, K-VAR didn't check, and sent me a really fucked up rifle. I had accepted it because I didn't notice how bad the gas block was canted at the time (bolt would actually get stuck out of battery from the piston catching on the gas tube). Prepper offered to help me contact K-VAR since I had accepted the transfer, and K-VAR basically told me to go fuck myself. Prepper then authorized a return and let me keep the 5 pmags for my trouble.
>>27796052
Fun fact, Arsenal's military production line produces flawless rifles with zero gas block cant, and zero to extremely minor FSB cant. That's the real "mil spec".
Their civilian production line is a joke.
>>27796139
>receives 2 fucked rifles in a row even after REQUESTING they be checked for issues
yeah, I'm writing Arsenal off now. heres hoping the DDI AK-74s coming out are worth the weight
>>27796139
I've heard that Arsenals milled line (which is most of their military stuff anyhow) is actually quite good, and doesn't exhibit the same level of shit that their stamped rifles do.
Here we go...

>>27796271
The SAM series has its own share of problems, you just don't hear about them as often. I would wager that's simply because they're moving far more SLRs.
If I was in the market for a milled AK, I'd get one of the new hammer-forged milled DDIs coming out this month.

>>27796393
While it did not come in a hard case and all that extra shit, it did have retainers and stuff in the box, I just ripped them out so it was easier to put in and out. Regardless, its in nice shape and is exactly what I wanted. Isn't that all that should really matter here on AKG?

>I was merely pretending to be retarded!

>>27796435
The "retainers" in mine (one piece of folded cardboard with a roughly stock-shaped hole in it) and a tiny square with a roughly 74-brake shaped hole in it were both destroyed during shipping, and not even near the stock or brake when I opened the package at my dealer. The box itself looked like it had been ran over by a truck, and this shit came DIRECTLY from K-VAR.
Here's a pic of the receiver showing the serial (and brand new 2015 MFG date code, 1960+55 = 2015).
>>27796393
aw yiss.
I wish DDI could make some triangle side folder rifles. Oh well, guess I can send it off to be converted.
>>27796529
I've heard that Atlantic will ship rifles in plano hard cases with some guns. Not sure if Arsenal is one of them but its worth emailing them.
>>27796393
25m kek. Try that at 100m.
>>27796818
They only have a 25m indoor range.
.5 MOA at 25m translates into 2moa which is still better than Arsenal :^)
>>27796854
no its still .5 moa
>>27796861
Okay, .5" groups at 25m translates into 2moa :^)
>>27796891
better.
>>27796393
>25yds
Come on...Its a fucking rifle, I want to see longer range than that.
>>27796854
So If I can make a clover leaf or better with my AK at 50m, then it's better then an Arsenal?
Plus it's a 3 shot group. Those don't mean shit.
>>27796927
Exactly. It's not hard to drill 3 holes at 25yds.
Sorry I used meters instead of yards.
>>27796927
Okay at which range would you like that spread translated into? I happen to be a wizard.
>>27796958
>>27796973
That's a 5 shot group, anon. Read the description.
>>27796990
I'm still saying its not that hard to do that. Why should anyone be impressed with that? That doesn't prove it's better then an Arsenal. I'm not even an Arsenal fanboy.

>38 for rail and optic
Yeah its gonna be a nice piece of airshit.
>>27797259
Are you sure you can't un-thread the sling through the belt clasp to get it straight, thread it through the swivel on your stock, and then thread it back through the belt clasp?
Post some pics of your sling so we can help you, faggot.
>>27797275
5.45 is still kinda not really accepted yet, so manufacturers I think are only testing the waters with those guns and parts are relatively expensive because it's more niche. Just my theory. Give it time and I think more will become available.
>>27797275
SAR-2 / WASR-2
The first you'll have to convert if you want a correct rifle but it'll be closer to compliant if you live in a communist state. The latter is just the newer importations of the same gun, scary features and all. Picked my first SAR-2 up for $350 in the early 2000's and I just bought a WASR-2 for a little less than eight last February.
>>27797275
DDI's new AK74 will meet all of your criteria and will be out before christmas.
Here's a pic. I have a few more if needed. I can't thread it because there's a big metal stud that the leather strap hooks onto and that stud won't go through the buckle.
>>27793104

It has to fit, that's the only way to get it apart. Force the fuck out of it.
>>27797285
You were warned not too. Even a UTG rail would have been better than a Midwest Industries counterfeit. You could have saved up your allowance for a few more weeks and bought something nicer instead of having to buy a new rail.

I'm looking at getting an AK and they seem like a good deal.
>>27797673
Get a DDI instead. I've already been down that road with Atlantic and the new 2015 wasrs are just as fucked up as the old ones, they just have nicer wood.
I assure you, you'll end up regretting it if you cheap out on a WASR over spending just a teeny bit more for the DDI.

>>27797721

>>27797775
The vast majority of them are. While any company can have lemons, Century certainly isn't anywhere near as bad as they were pre-2008. WASRs are actually a pretty solid choice.
>>27797775

Have you considered the fact that the vast majority of people don't go on the internet and talk about the problems that their products don't have?

Enjoy your review of a cherry-picked gun.
Go fucking ask any of the big online dealers yourself about the quality of current WASRs. The honest ones will tell you up front to expect canted gas blocks, front sight blocks to the point that the FSP must be all the way to the left or right, wobbly mag wells, guns filled with metal shavings (in the barrel, in the gas tube, all in the action, under the furniture) from the mag-well opening, extremely rough rails, and the channels in the carrier looks like it was milled with a dremel.
Better yet, go to your LGS and fingerfuck their WASRs. If you know what you're looking for, you're going to find something wrong with all of them.
>>27797921

I got it from Ammo and Arms' gunsamerica page. Really pleasant people to buy from and it came with the top rail included so it was a damn good price.
>>27800000
>Them quints
He charged me $150 for the conversion. Hell of a better price then I could find anywhere else and he doesn't live too far away from me.
Where do you guys get bakelite magazines from? I really want a few bakelite magazines and a bayonet because mine is really lacking.
Also are those romanian 75 round drums worth buying?
Bump from page 10
Magpul is going to debut 5.45 mags at Shot Show per AK operators union and they're looking into drums as well.
Just a heads up
>>27803863
They can't even make a 7.62x39 mag correctly.

why the hell are Arsenal rifles with metal triangle stocks much more expensive than poly stock versions when the individual stocks cost about the same from K-var on their own?
>>27805113
>bad mags
Nigger you have no idea.
I'm going to be purchasing a 74 soon and I'm stuck between an Arsenal slr104 and a DDI.
http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/component/virtuemart/shipping-rifles/arsenal-slr104-34-5-45x39mm-metal-side-folding-rifle-detail.html?Itemid=0
Any difference in the metal stock and the polymer aside from the obvious? (i.e. weight, plastic vs metal, etc.) I've watched reviews and have drawn my own conclusions, but I'd like to hear from someone with some actual experience and not the sugar coated youtube experience.
Bro just got this MAK-90 in a trade for a Mini-14. I'm jelly as shit.
>>27805926
I'd wait till the DDI comes out. While folders are a nice option to have, chances are you are going to leave it unfolded all the time anyhow. I'd go with the poly stock if you are never going to fold it, triangle if you want to use the folding option more.
also check for cant like you would with a WASR with Arsenals now. Their QC has gone to shit.
>>27805983
Is there any actual info on these DDI 74s? I really want a 74, and I know DDI has a great rep. Can't find anything except the CEO hinting at it in MAC's video
>>27805997
They will be build on Classic Arms bulgy build kits using DDI green mountain barrels and nitride finish. I would expect similar finish to their 7.62 offerings and decent accuracy.
Other than that we just have to wait.
>>27805997
From their facebook page.

Those already went on classicfirearms, and sold out. Sold out within 4 days or so.
Unless this is something different.
>>27807358
This is something different. Those were kit builds on old WW receivers. These are new.
>>27797364
Does the one you're referring to have a special model number/name or designation?
>>27805135
because metal triangle side folders are so sexy

> tfw still waiting
And has Arsenal quality really fallen off that much?
Maybe I should just buy the amd-65 instead
>>27811557
No it hasn't fallen that bad. These people are shilling hard for DDI. Cuz much America. There guns are still mostly part kits minus the barrel.
I'd still rather pay less and get an Arsenal thats milspec and proven.
Does anyone have barrel profile dimensions?
This barrel maker I know whats to make me a barrel.
>>27811941
How would you pay less for an arsenal when they cost more than a DDI? also how are arsenals milspec when there just converted saigas?
>>27812903
>when there just converted saigas
You were right about the price at least.
>>27811941
>pay less than DDI
>arsenal
Pick one you obtuse faggot
>>27812992
I paid 850 for my SLR-107FR NIB.
>>27812903
Converted Saigas. You're pretty fucking retarted.
The SGL series came in a bare like the SGL-10's.
>>27812903
>arsenals
>converted saigas
>>27813004
You found a good deal. Most people don't find one like that.
>>27813020
Ya, so basically a saiga type rifle that's converted. That's all arsenals are, don't see how there milspec when they were built off something else.
>>27813045
Oh SLR-107FRs. Current stamped AK-100 esque receiver blah, blah, blah. Same factory as the full autos. blah blah blah.
>>27813004
In 2010 maybe, but thats irrelevant now dumbass
>>27813045
No, they just through on the hunting stock to bring them in.
>>27813073
That was earlier this year dumbass. Right before Arsenal said they had to do the military contract.
>>27813094
>look at me im on the internet making claims that I got a good deal
>so what if you cant get the same deal
Still irrelevent
>>27813118
Still retarted to pay above 800 dollars for a "U.S. made AK".
>>27813148
>Still retarted to pay above 800 dollars for a "U.S. made AK".
Good thing you don't have to. See: >>27813033
>>27813170
Not him but I seriously do not see any reason to buy ddi guns, even if they are good quality.
There's so much you get for just ~$100 more when you get an arsenal it's not even funny
>>27813170
Lets see there AK-74 model was selling for 1200.
>>27813193
You mean that one that's not for sale yet and you're blatantly making things up?
>>27798739
>SRVV muzzle brake
mah nigga
>>27813216
The one that was on Atlantics website two weeks ago. Using Bulgarian parts.
>>27813074
They still have to convert the trigger guard area and trigger group, as well as plug up any holes on them, all im saying is how people are retarded for believing them as "milspec" aks when when there just converted rifles any other bubba can do.
>>27813185
A DDI can be had for $650, sans furniture.
Add a $25 of balkan war furniture and you're in business.
It's unlikely you'll find an Arsenal for $775.
>>27813240
my bad it was Definitive Arms.
But thats still a stupid price to pay for an American built kit.
>>27813148
>DDI
>Above $800
Youre still retarded for not being able to look on the internet
>>27813249
the definitive arms guns are actually well build, unlike arsenals.
>>27813185
well you get more consistent build quality and excellent customer service for one.
>using the folding stocks on Arsenals
that is honestly the only thing Arsenals have going for them over DDI. that and the slightly better barrel, but DDIs are reported to be more accurate.
>>27813298
I would jump all over that DA triangle folder if I knew who made the barrel. I'd be wary of dropping that much cash just for a well built rifle but with an average barrel.
>>27813148
>above $800
Okay so go buy:

Well Arsenal will be banned by trump when he becomes president so your only choice will be DDI. Mine as well get in at the ground level.
>>27797397
ahhhh..... I remember that abomination and the fuckin hour it took to get it on the gun....
easiest thing is take the two screws off the stock side, and then take the metal loop(if its not welded together) and thread it thru the sling where it needs to go.
otherwise, you have to turn that rectangle piece of metal sideways to fit thru the other one, and it will stress you the fuck out. at least getting it back in is easier than taking it apart.
I dont recall what those slings were called, or why they were used, but they did have some purpose besides a regular 2 point sling.
>>27813362
Who is this semen demon?
>>27813063
U.S bound saiga rifles aren't even made by izhmash, they are assembled by Legion which is izhmashs civilian department, so they aren't even made in a real military factory.
The SLR's are made and assembled in a military factory.
>>27813478
Bullshit
I get my choke and my break in tomorrow, thinking about some tactical skeet skeet skeet shooting
>>27813478
Military rifles from Russia were banned in the early 1990s, it's been discussed here several times, just ask flandre.
Saigas are civilian hunting rifles, made and assembled by Legion in Russia, on different parts, and machines then the actual izhmash plant.
>>27813521
shit, Brake*
>>27813521
>tax stamps on ammo
What hell hole?
>>27813503
Just look up the mutual restraint agreement of 1998.
SVTs SKS, and other military rifles were banned from import after that, saigas were hunting rifles that's the only way they got in.
>>27813478
Saigas were shit compared to bulgy guns anyway, they are advertised as painted over park, most don't have park under the paint, their civilian quality is no where close to their military.
The last actual Izhmash guns to come in were the SVD's.
>>27813579

take out your firing pin, and leave off the top cover and see what the fuck is actually happening. does your mag have excessive wobble? etc etc. just use your brain.

How are you going to hold mags and ammo? I strap this over my shoulder and hang it at my right hip. It holds ~50rds in the pouch section, 4 mags, and all 3 chokes in the little pockets inside.

>>27814728
Trump likes Putin. Putin has noted in Russian media he would like to negotiate with Trump. Izhmash took a heavy hit losing the US market and Putin might throw lifting the sanctions on the table.
>>27814835
>Trump likes Putin.
And if they ever get their panties in a bunch, we'll be at war because of their massive egos.
>>27815095
Yeah just like Bush and Putin did during the Georgia conflict and Nigger faggot Obama did over the invasion of Ukraine.
>>27813521
Is it possible to change the top cover on the vepr?
>>27816682
probably not. why would you anyway?
>>27816946
Because we're both faggots, that's why

Oh my thanks for the help! Yea this thing is a bastard and I'm at the point where I'm just gonna give up for a while. There's just no wiggle room with it and I can't get it to unthread for the life of me. Wow, what a fucking piece of disaster equipment.
Hey, I want to buy myself AK, since I am from post-soviet country. Is Beryl any good? How does it stack up against other AKs?
>>27814142
a fellow TNbro
we should hang out and do autistic stuff
>>27817604
The Beryl Archer (imported by I.O) seems to be great, grab one if you can find it.
I don't own one so I can't contribute anything about their reliability, but from what I've heard all I.O. did was import it, so hopefully that means they didn't fuck the rifle with cast parts or shit barrels.
Magazines will be rather expensive and hard to find, you'll also have to figure out which ones fit (not all 5.56 mags are compatible with certain 5.56 AKs IIRC).
All of the above is why most people recommend you buy a WASR or something else slightly more minimal for a first AK.
