What's wrong with it?
>>28230266
It's not that detailed but it works well enough for the 50 people every thread that ask what they should get for their first AK. I don't know about the Europe part but an anon from Euroland wrote that so I'll assume he knew what he was talking about.
>>28230314
Arsenal is not high tier, shitty finish, inconsistent build quality, and awful customer service is shit. DDI is better than them.
If you want highest tier, Rifle Dynamics or Krebs Custom. You also leave out a shit ton of good options too.
>>28230376
That list is major manufacturers. Rifle Dynamics and Krebs Custom are pretty fucking obscure and only do what is basically custom work. That's certainly not what people are looking for when they want to get a first AK. DDI is a great company but they're still too new to place them immediately at the top in my opinion.
While their finish isn't great, Arsenal is still top tier as far as widely available AKs go. You also won't get AK-100 series clones anywhere else. Any manufacturer has lemons, but I haven't seen anything to indicate that Arsenal has had specifically more issues than they have in the past. Care to show where you're seeing that?
>>28228706
is that an M85 SBR?
>>28230455
I almost always recommend going straight for the best. No point in dicking around with your money.
>>28231397
OK, Scrooge McDuck. Maybe everyone doesn't have pools of money to swim around in and might want to know what's good at different levels of affordability.
I really want to pick up some sort of underfolder. I almost bought a preban Norinco underfolder that was one of the few AKs imported my the same importer as my Norinco but I let it slip.
>>28229368
Is there a specific caliber or anything else you're looking for (folding stock, etc.)? Are you looking for something strictly functional or something a bit more pretty and refined? And most of all, how much are you willing to spend?

>>28236604
Do they take regular AKM furniture? They have another one for 650 with polymer thumb hole furniture, if it makes any difference between wood or not
What do you guys think about it? Should i get it over a regular 5.45 saiga considering 5.45 and 9mm rounds cost the same in my country?
>>28236834
The only reason I really want one of those so bad is because I can't have one in the states.
I think the actual 545 rifle is going to be better overall. Rifle rounds are a lot more fun IMO.
>>28236834
Get the 5.45.
>>28236880
Well i want it because i love smgs and i can carry that in something close to a backpack, so tired of police checking my long shotgun case like every 5-10min when i carry it to and from range.
>>28236905
Yeah.. that sounds like a pain in the ass.
9mm will drop like a brick compared to 545 at the range, but you can adjust your sights according to what range you're shooting at anyway, within reason.

Same. I've been looking for a good 7.62 AK and everything is pointing to DDI over Arsenal, even for $250 less. Only catch is wanting to wait just to see what more cool shit they come out with.
In MAC's factory tour he said they'd be making a 5.45 rifle soon. And now we have them. He also said he wanted to switch to 90 degree gas blocks. Kinda wanna see if those pop up soon.

What's wrong with TulAmmo?
All I've ever put through my AKs and no issues and no rust
>>28231783
IMO Yugo underfolders are the best ones.
Tighter lockup, straighter angle out from the receiver.
>>28239165
Manages to chew up barrels AND be underpowered.
Seriously, load a mag with Tula and any other 7.62. You'll feel the difference even with Wolf.
>>28239298
Can you provide evidence of the claim that it increases wear on barrels?
>>28236834
Get it and measure it for me
And weigh the bolt
So is the old triangle side folding AK74 the Arsenal one? I really don't want to pay 1,100 for an AK74...
>>28239312
Pretty much everything I've ever read is about .223 Tula wearing down barrels faster than even other steel-cased, bimetal rounds.
But I've felt the difference between Tula and other 7.62, and you can definitely smell the difference in the powder burn too.
I know, anecdotal and non-AK barrels, but the combination of my own experience and those AR tests make me avoid the stuff.
>>28239165
>All I've ever put through my AKs and no issues and no rust
Put anything else through it and you'll never go back.

I love it when simps reply before reading the whole post.
I acknowledge that the tests I've seen are for .223 out of ARs, but to me, combined with my personal experience comparing Tula to other 7.62x39, indicates a serious difference in manufacturing standards compared to other ammo factories. Enough so that I avoid that shit whenever possible.
>>28240030
Why would you bring up .223 in an AK thread?
Why would you bring up TulAmmo out of AR barrels in an AK thread?
>>28240005
I've never had to sign for ammo I had delivered.
>>28240066
Because the test in question tested steel-case Brown Bear, Wolf, and Tula.
You think they make that shit at a different fucking factory or some shit? You think there's NOTHING of value to be extrapolated from comparing rounds from those same factories, using the same case and bullet compositions in a different caliber?
You retarded, son? Tula is objectively the shittiest AK food you can buy. And you can immediately see, hear, and feel the difference between Tula and any other brand's rounds. More duds, lower power, shit accuracy.
It's fucking garbage and it's not even much cheaper.
Treat your gun right, son.
>>28240099
I just have it come to work, I'm always there at the times UPS delivers.
>>28240119
Honestly after shooting thousands of rounds of the stuff, it's surprisingly reliable. Only had one failure to ignite with it ever (with the tulammo .223).
It's definitely a weaker x39 load, at least compared to Golden Tiger, Brown Bear, or Yugo surplus. And accuracy is shit, but still enough to ping an 18" plate at 400yds.
>>28240287
Really? I bought one of those Cabela's ammo cans with 500 rounds in it, and probably had 10 or 15 problem rounds for various reasons, failure to ignite, the round firing a second or so after pulling the trigger, some loads noticeably weak but not quite squib weak.
Tula a shit.

So I haven't been through /akg/ in a while.
About 6 months ago I blew a lot of cash setting up for an AK74 build and here's what's left of it.
I dropped the barrel off to be precision drilled for my gas port and wound up having some hiccups as the job got passed around between different people at the shop.
Then the smith working on it up and quit and threw a wrench in the whole plan.
Back and forth over a few months finally came up to today when I was able to talk with the owner and his best smith on hand for how to go about the project.
>>28243624
So after some talking and figuring out that the smith that had it before fucked up my barrel and the gas block, and pressed most of the barrel together without even touching the receiver, the owner asked what I wanted to do.
Since 74 mags are a bitch and a half to get in MA, and 5.45x39 is only available in 25 count boxes by Hornady at Cabela's for shitloads more than I'm willing to pay... I said I was gonna wind up asking to trade or sell the AK74 after I was done with the build. I said I was interested in AK47s instead and he offered me any one I wanted at cost+$25 transfer fee. He gave me my kit back and didn't charge me a dime for any work that was done and apologized that his smith fucked my project up.
So I'm getting dealer buy price on a brand new AK when I feel like it. Considering the RAS47 because looks pretty good and feels solid.
Any other recommendations to look into if I can get it cheap at dealer price?

At least buy a DDI or something like that, I mean if I could I'd get one of their underfolders because that shit is pure sex.
On a slightly related note, what is it about US builders not getting 74's right? Pic related has a fucked up chamber that wont let me shoot 2 mags before I get a stuck casing.

>>28248423
Then you've got enough to spare one bullet IMO, preferably without destroying it so you can display it.
I wouldn't bug you so hard, but I can't find any google images to see what it's packing.
Since it's 122gr, I'm already suspecting that it's a shorter bullet without a boat tail though.
i haven't seen those spam cans of new production barnaul 5.45x39 in a long time.
i hope sgammo gets some in soon.

https://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=4&f=54&t=150806
>>28248507
That makes it really tough then.
I clamp the rim, then use an old towel wrapped like 4x thick around the bullet. Then I use a vice grip to pull it out since I can control the compression and wiggle it out. It's too easy to literally misshape the bullet with anything else.
>>28248521
If you read up on golden tiger, like pictured a few posts up, it's got a massive air space in the front of it's ~1in bullet. And it yaws like crazy upon impact with anything.
>>28248528

I just remember hearing that the 7.62 rear sights are different from 5.45 in size and it affects impact.
>>28248727

>>28250826

Pretty good for a first rifle, cheap ammo, folding stock that's full size, Bulgarian made, easy maintenance. All and all it's pretty good choice, just a bit pricey for an AK.

Honestly it's all up to you, I can't tell the difference between a triangle folder and a poly stock folder when I have them shouldered. It really comes down to what you think looks better, and I think the triangle folder might weigh more.

polish v-projects?
>>28251663
Nah, AIM has some polish steelies for $11, or $10 if you buy 10+

>>28251653
Oh god I wish I could have gotten some Gen 3 magazines for that price. I'm just happy to have a rifle of my own soon, other than the one I'll be issued.
>>28251538
I'm gonna agree with this guy 100%
SDM released their first ak shotgun, to compete with the vepr 12, saiga 12 and catamount fury
That's some chunky shit right there
>>28240119
I just wanted to update you that I bought another 200 rounds of TulAmmo at Walmart last night for the next time I go to the range
Morning coyote hunt az
>>28252888
How many bullets do you shoot every time you go to the range?
A guess is fine
>>28252948
A few hundred
We like to spend more time freaking people out with my brother's 18" Nugget
I'm curious, what exactly is the differences or points of different quality AKs? Unless they're complete piece of rusty shits made in some shack in Afghanistan, does it really matter if they are WASR or Norinco or whatever? Isn't the AK basically supposed to be only "If it shoots, is fine"?
I don't have much experience with firearms so I apologize for my dumbfuckness, I just wonder why pay more for something that essentially does the same thing at pretty much same intended performance, simply because it's manufactured better?

>"We don't sell AKMs I got some AK-47's, no one makes left handed ones they are all mass produced garbage, we got AR-15's too."
>Points to AKM on the wall, "this AK-47 is the closest we got to one of those AKMs."
Guess I'm still trying to figure out where to buy my first AK...
>>28252982
>Wanting to buy a lefty AK
Why.
>>28252973
Yes, better materials, fit, finish, CQ, metod and country of production, better builders and machines, all make for a much more accurate rifle that will last longer
And by that i mean that a saiga mk will fight in some war side by side with your grand-grand-grandson while a wasr will ONLY finally find peace in the close kekab removal laying calmly and happy after a fullfilled life, on the fields of Cugir, 2055
>>28252996
Guess
>>28252982
Well, you know just a little more than him.
Do you know that ak's are extremely left handed friendly?
>>28253008
>Implying I'm not also a lefty
Just buy a regular model. You won't eat any brass. Pinky promise.
>>28253028
I don't, as I stated I'm trying to buy my first one. I've taken brass to the forehead and shoulder countless times though, the ejection is to the right. What makes it left hand friendly?
I was more irked he was shrugging me off and seemed irritated I wanted to look at AK's and not AR's.
>>28253041
You don't have to reach over/under to cycle it. The ejection port is also right where you can see it. Definitely don't spend your money on a lefty dude. It'll be way more moneys and parts will be a bitch.
>>28253041
The controls are perfect to operate with your right hand while shooting, and the rifle will never eject towards your arm/face. I've been shooting my wasr left handed since August to become "gun-bidextrous" and I've never had a single problem
>>28253052
>>28253056
I'm reading a bunch of threads on forums about lefties shooting them now. I guess I just assumed from past experience. Thanks for the heads up, this is actually really big news for me
>>28253071
You're welcome faggot.

Looks like a fat girl with small boobs.
In other news, Cugir just came up with this 5.56 AK. I understand it will be exported to the US.
>>28253102
Well...not "just" came up. It's been more or less done for about two years. In this pic you can see they moved the charging handle on top of foregrip, which is not a bad idea, IMO.

Hey guys, I am looking to buy an AK, some guy just offered me a Yugo-AK and told me to check it out at his store and didn't give me any info on it.
What should I look for, what should I be weary of etc. IT is single stack ( I live in a fag state that requires them to be single stacked, but I plan on making it double stacked when I live in a freestate). He also said it costs $650
Or should I just buy a single-stacked Arsenal?
What would you guys recommend, I would be throwing the money down on an arsenal but I want to make sure i can convert it to doublestack later on when I'm in a freestate
>>28253956
What state restricts magazines to single stack? Im fairly confident that most US states only restrict capacity. Double check that
Most AKs come into the states as able to accept double stacked magazines, as there is a physical difference in the receiver.
Arsenals are good quality, depending on who you ask. some say they have quality control issues. DDI is a new up-and-coming brand that give you amazing rifles for less than arsenal, however you might have a hard time finding one.
also check these guys out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ6uyIo3gwM
>>28254062
Well I live in Massachusetts and only have a FID, I can only get guns who were not made to accept more than 10 rounds. So I think I'm limited to sks/singlestacks aks/ mini 14s/ garands etc.
>>28254081
They make 10 round double stacked AK magazines if you werent aware.
>>28254081
Get a Vepr. Russian made sweetness with single stack magazine for your fascist state.
Seriously though, I'm actually thinking of getting one in 7.62x54 to compliment my shitty Wasr, I've seen someone take elk with one.
>>28254081
it also looks like your state has those bullshit "points system" for what constiutes as an assault weapon, so the arsenal with its folding stock, muzzle device thread and other features might prevent you from getting it. Atlantic Firearms sells a ban state legal AK, might be worth checking with your FFL on what is allowed and not allwed. Chances are they are gonna know more than people online. I live in PA and they dont give a fuck what I buy, im just helping by looking on wikipedia and doing some high level google searching that I picked up from working in IT for years.
>>28254123
I can't get that without my LTC @ age 21,
for FID I can only get guns that were made to only accept a max 10 rounds unfortunately.
Wasr-10 for $550 brand new.
Go or no go?
>>28254081
Are you that kid from Clinton I sold my Romanian AK with the scope rail on the dust cover?
>>28254375
Go. That's a pretty decent price.
>>28254382
nah I am currently no guns as my parents divorced and dad took da funs away
>>28254375
where in MA mein amigo - are you buying it from a shop or priv sale? I live in westfield and am looking for an aK
>>28254554
Scroll up you'll see why I'm getting dealer price.
I'm out in Worcester. Pullman Arms sells most of their AKs at $675-$1300 depending on how they're set up and mfg.
>>28254590
oh I see now, Thanks for the info man - I hope you get what you are looking for
Well, now I just need to take her home and clean her up. Factory grease is cray.
>>28254805
enjoy!
How long should a firing pin last? I think mine has failed at a thousand rounds, constant light primer strikes
>>28255488
That doesn't sound like a firing pin problem, sounds more like a hammer problem. Check it to make sure the springs are good on it.
>>28255528
I ordered a new spring, and it has solid tension, but who knows, maybe the second new spring was just as weak as the first? This wasn't an initial issue, this has developed over time and the probability of getting a shot has decreased steadily
>>28255588
Did you try checking your headspace?
>>28255683
Yeah, and it's good to go from what I can tell. If headspacing ends up being the issue, what could I do about it?
>>28255694
The barrel would need to be pressed out and head space reset, mind telling me what kind of ak you have?
>>28255732
I'm thinking of doing some bubba mods to my AK.
If I fuck around with the lower handguard retainer, how much would it cost to get a fresh one pressed on?
>>28255732
It's a Polish parts kit build, but the parts aren't matching. I had it done at a build party, and has otherwise functioned flawlessly
>>28255778
What kind of fucking around? I reckon it would only cost around 40 dollars or so, or you could always buy a bolt on retainer.
>>28255783
Is it different ammo that is getting light primer strikes? Or is it all one manufacturer that you've used since you built it?
>>28255841
I want to cut a notch into it to accept an SKS blade bayonet
>>28255841
I've used Wolf, Tula, Fiocchi, and just ordered some Golden Tiger. All of these things didn't work, and for every type of ammo, I am sometimes able to put a round in a second or third time and get it to work.
>>28255845
http://www.amazon.com/SKS-Spike-Type-Bayonet-PolyTech/dp/B00D384CKA
So something like a Type 56 with a bayonet?
>>28255952
Odd, have any pictures of the back of the bolt assembly?
>>28255991
I will be able to upload some pictures later tonight when I get home from work
>>28256015
Sounds good, just post it in this thread if it's still up our start your own AK thread.
>>28228706
Would you mind telling me about some of the parts on that AK?
- Gas block/sight combo
- Pistol grip
- Hand guard/gas tube rail
Shit's cash as fuck btw.
>>28255845
>>28255991
Shit I had the same idea the other day, would be nice to be able to use a repo Chinese folding bayonet front sight assembly and use a blade bayonet. Maybe bubba a folding stock using a door hinge.
>>28254375
I just bought a used one for that price today.
i picked up my baby today, its a WASR 10 with tapco stuff on it. i got it for 580 from my friend
>>28254375
yes
>>28256794
get yourself a balkan stock set from apex
>>28256829
is there any stock in the magpul gear?
>>28257078
the magpul stuff is good, just not my taste
>>28257126
thanks, i really like it on my AR
>>28256829
Will Balkan sets fit on a WASR?
I thought those were for the Yugo/Serbian rifles
>>28257459
Apex does sell yugo handguards and pistol grips, but this set is specifically for regular AKM's
http://www.apexgunparts.com/balkan-battlefield-akm-buttstock-set.html
>>28253041
The action being on the right side makes it far easier to cycle and clear with the left hand than the right. The AK is easily the most lefty friendly rifle you can get in its stock form.

Goooooood luck
>>28252948
sights are standard.
>>28257459
they have handguard/pistol sets for yugo and full sets for AKM
Bump
Who /AR/ as well in here?
>>28257926
God damn that lady has a big mouth.
>>28259424
And here I was wondering if drilling a little window in the back of some of my mags was stupid.
>>28259531
Wait, since when do you frequent this general?
>>28259520
Me.
If I buy a surplus hammer, will it
A) work as a replacement for my 2015 WASR hammer without replacing any other parts
B) reduce the amount of hangup when charging
C) both
>>28259557
I have that FSP adjustment tool.
I hate it.
Me too
>>28259620
Me too. Its like its too large to work properly.
