>>29487494
Already own WASR-10 former owner of an SLR-106. Should I go 7.62x39 or 5.45x39?
>>29487494
I want just like that in 7.62x39. Would be my innawoods gun and would make a great pair with my CZ-75b with cocobolo grips.
>>29487514
I wouldn't mind suppressing 7.62x39. I haven't looked into it too much yet but I'm guessing there aren't a whole lot of soviet style suppressors in the US are there.
>>29487509
I was planning on going 5.45 after my 7.62, just for variety
Bent a couple flats lately. AK builder flats are slightly longer than pre bent polish blanks. My top covers aren't long enough and I now have to build them up with weld to fit
I am disappoint
>>29487494
I need to get a bayo.
>>29487551
I spent a few hours looking for something like that the other night. Hardly an expert, but I didn't find any that fit the Soviet aesthetic I was looking for.
>>29487676
Shame
Is there any practical reason to buy a semi automatic RPK when I already own an AKM clone? For me they'd simply be a range queen, and I may rig it up with an 1PN34 and use it to kill hogs or something at night.
ok
Does /k/ buy guns online, if so, where?
Also, what's a everyones favorite AK, ak-clone manufacturer?
>>29487819
I'm somewhat partial to arsenal. Haven't ordered from online before but I browse atlantic firearms a lot.
Just waiting on some bakelites, sling, and a Wolff extra power recoil spring
Hey guys, im trying to sell an FSC47 muzzle brake that came on a used WASR. They retail for like $90 new, but do you have any clue what someone would want to pay for one used? Not sure how much "used" status affects non milsurp firearms components.
Posted this on the previous gen but didn't get any response.
Does anyone have any experience with pic related? or just m92 pistols in general? I want to get a 5.45 sbr but arsenals cost way too much and this seems to be a decent alternative.
Do circle-10 74 mags ever go on sale?
>>29488900
They're alright.
Just get an Arsenal from and call them to do lay a way.

With the muzzle brake on it, what sorts of bayonets fit the SLR-107?
>>29489696
Any AKM bayonet.
>>29489696
The AK sort of bayonets.

>>29490257
>Not having a tabletop FFL who you can get your guns from as soon as they are delivered.
I tried the whole "shipping to a lgs" once.
Never again, there's no personal service.
They act like they're doing you a favor and you should be grateful they're letting you get a gun and paying for their "service" of accepting a delivery.
>>29490509
>tabletop FFL
>>29490530
Fuck, forgot to actually ask what that is
>>29490537
A FFL who runs their business out of his or her home.
It's also know as a kitchen table FFL or home based FFL.
My FFL is a former state cop who I just call up, tell him I have a gun on the way, swing by fill out my 4473 and wait until it arrives.
$20 transfer for up to 5 guns, and I get a little time to talk guns with the old guy.
>>29490620
That sounds pretty much exactly what I'll have to do, except I can't do it early, and I have that wait.
Not exacctly AK related but has anybody here ever heard of facebook manipulating your feed so you almost never see conservative or pro-gun pages? Not like removing the pages from facebook, but tweaking some algorithm so that they never show up on your feed
>>29490750
Only use was for selling guns locally and we know what happened with that.
>>29490750
How about fuck off you idiot.
>>29490756
Yea I've been thinking about deleting it anyway.
I might be paranoid but every once in a while I'll think 'Hey you know who hasn't posted in a while? Milo Yiannapoulos' or something, and I go and check the page and he's posted like 4 times in the last week, and I didn't see a single one. This happens fairly frequently, all with conservative or gun related pages
>>29487509
I bought an SLR-107 after having another rifle in 7.62.
It seems like 5.45 magazines are hard to come by, and they usually cost not under 40 dollars per magazine.
I bought 20 AK mags for 200 bucks from AIM Surplus the other day. You won't find deals like this for AK-74 mags, at least right now.
>>29489696
My yugo bayonet doesn't fit on the 107 muzzle break.
>>29490777
I'm pretty sure this has to do with a new system FB has where you have to pay to make all your posts show up for people who like your page. When it happened a bunch of pages started requesting for people to go on their page and subscribe to their feed to make sure you see all their posts because otherwise you won't. I think it's a money thing, not a politics thing.
>>29488900
PROTIP: CNCWarror sells the same thing (Galil-style stock instead of triangle though) for $200 less.
Admittedly the triangle's way better looking.
But it also wouldn't be TOO tough to build one yourself and save some money if you had the tools.
>~$450 for the M92

The Atlantic M92 carbine is nice but it's almost the same price as an SLR-107FR.

Facebook uses algorithms based on what you post, like, comment on and look at to decide what shows up in your feed, as well as how popular said content is with other users.
You can also tweak settings for it to show you more stuff by certain pages.
Personally I see a lot of gun shit show up in my feed. Not conservative shit because I'm not a reactionary fucktard but plenty of pro-gun content.
>>29487509
The main worry is mags. 7.62x39 mags are just a hell of a lot cheaper than 5.45x39 mags.
Also, 7N6 Russian ammo is banned from import into the US. Which is gay.
>>29491080
>>29491016

>Admittedly the triangle's way better looking.
Manticore triangles are disgusting. Very heavy for what they are and I was not impressed with the machining or finish on the one I handled.
CNC warrior is making a milled aluminum triangle stock that's cut to actually resemble the steel ones. Still looks like shit if you put it on one of the bolt on hinges, though.

You could probably search "mosin nagant ammo crate" and find one for sale

would it really take a lgs employee 6 hours to go through the monday mail to find my AK and call me
because fedex told me it arrived 6 hours ago
>>29491634
That exactly. Would I be able to grind it down?
>>29491814
You're kidding, right?
You do realize the bolt will not close on a Bolt Hold Open follower.
If you don't want it to be a BHO anymore, you can swap the follower with a non BHO follower I suppose.

>>29491900
>that upper handguard
Nice sling and bayo though, I've been debating on getting a dong for my lower handguard or not when I refurnish mine
>>29491914
get one i got mine from apex for $15
>>29491860
So, I ask again.
Would grinding it down be a catastrophic problem?
>>29491940
What like an unstained one?
Im trying to keep this thing pretty vanilla, will probably get a wood pistol grip too
>>29491990
I am the same way thats why the dong is perfect, it doesnt ruin the ak look. Its not hard to stain the wood
>>29492004
No I know it's not hard to stain the wood, I was just wondering if it was so cheap because it was unstained when you got it.
>>29491377
Do you only load one round at a time? Because the follower tends to be at the bottom of a loaded mag, pretty far away from the carrier
>>29492017
Yeah it was in pretty rough shape, whatever finish was left was peeling and flaky
>>29491977
Probably won't work that well as the BHO followers go all the way to the top of the mag, and non BHO mag followers are stopped by little tabs on the mag body.
Why not just get a non BHO mag and sell that one to someone who wants a BHO mag, instead of trying to bubbafy a fix to a problem that only exists in your mind?
>>29492096
Figured I'd ask before I did anything drastic. I thought the follower was the only difference. Thanks.
>>29491323
You can get them in Canada.

Can anyone attest to the quality of DDI aks? particularly the stamped 762 ones, im on the fence about it
>>29493670
DDI is top tier in their price range
are all AK stocks the same size, regardless of country of origin? I saw a few surplus Romanian stocks for sale at a gun show and they just looked tiny. The rifle I got used didnt come with wood furniture and im looking to replace the tapco AR style stock, but the wood might be too small for me.
>>29493735
There are 3 lengths, Warsaw, which is the shortest, NATO, which is the longest, and intermediate which is uncommon but is the middle ground. Its a real pain in the ass to find woodstocks in any size but Warsaw length but I think a few shops do them (Ironwood Designs does if I remember right.)
>>29488374
can you give me the rundown on that thing?
>>29493752
now, is there a difference in length between the AKM and 74 stock?

I just kept the stock bakelite grip that it came with because I hated the hogue grip I picked up. I also picked up a bakelite and blue force ak sling. I probably spent too much but it was a well used AK that needed a few things and just decided to go all out on it.
Not bakelite but what do you guys think of my wood?
>>29493814
Well if you could find a legit bakelite handguard I'd probably be real super jelly and pretty damn salty
>>29493804
It will all depend on manufacturer and country of origin

Wasn't that the Russian terminology for the AK4 folders they issued to desantniks?
>>29491281
>is the situation looking better for AK74 mag price in the future here?
Who can tell? Unless foreign countries start selling their inventory en masse, then the magazine price will probably stay fixed.
My local funstore has a CAI AK-74 for $630? Good deal or no? I've heard mixed reviews about Century.
>>29494866
I would play it safe and get a DDI for not much more money. The peace of mind would be worth it to me.
Alright /akg/,
I've got a few questions.
>What's the very best way to go about mounting this ACOG to my AK
Preferably keeping it as low to the bore axis as possible. TWS Dogleg? RS Regulate?
>What's the best available AK trigger?
Single or two stage, as long as it's better than the Tapco G2 I have in it right now. It's so fucking long and there's no indication at all of when it's going to break. Is it the ALG AKT, or is there something even better?
>Are bolt on hand guard retainers acceptable?
I want to ditch the Saiga fore end once and for all, and I don't want or need any extra accessory mounting options on the front of the rifle, so I was looking at standard black polymer AK-74 furniture. I don't really want to fuck with having to install a regular retainer though.
>>29495012
I love World Market.
>>29494866
Made by Century=Pass
Imported by Century=Inspect, but should be OK
That's my policy.
>>29495012
>What's the very best way to go about mounting this ACOG to my AK
Probably the RS, though you're probably going to end up with a chin-weld situation unless you add a pad to your stock
>What's the best available AK trigger?
AKT is the best for the money right now
>Are bolt on hand guard retainers acceptable?
If you don't want to pay a competent shop to put the proper retainer on, and you know it's not the proper part, and it still works for you, then why not? It's your money.
Worst case scenario, you hate it and pay someone to install the proper one and you're not out much money.
>>29495012
What the fuck is on that AR
>>29495103
I'm relatively new to the AK world. I know it's Bulgarian, and it had CAI laser stenciled on the receiver. How do you tell if it's been made with original Bulgarian parts or new parts manufactured by Century?
>>29495175
That was the problem.
They were assembled by Century using mostly original Bulgarian parts, but with US-made barrels that are 1. not chrome-lined and 2. at least some examples appear to have been modified from 5.56mm barrels with a 1:9" twist, which is not only oversize for 5.45mm by about .003" but also much too slow to stabilize the milsurp ammo with its extremely long steel-core bullet.
Weren't these the same barrels Century used to build Tantals? The Tantals were nice rifles, if you liked the wire sidefolder, but most of them were unserviceable and borderline dangerous.
>>29495250
So do all the Bulgarian Century rifles have shit barrels?
>>29495072
Me too! It's where I buy most of my wine and coffee.
>>29495107
>Probably the RS
I was kind of afraid of that answer. I know they're well made, but I'm just really not a fan of side-rail mounts. They add more bulk and weight than they should, and properly stripping the rifle requires you to remove it and they never quite return to zero. I have a BP-02 mount and a PSO from Kalinka and I'm probably going to sell both of them.
The TWS covers are nice, I've installed a couple for other people, but I have no idea how well they hold zero. They make me nervous.
>AKT
Best for the money, or best in general? Cost isn't really an object. I have an SSA-E in my AR and it's kind of spoiled me. I also see the Red Star Arms come up a lot in searches, and I see references to the Elftmann AK trigger but they apparently aren't actually being sold anywhere.
Point taken on the retainer though. I'll give it a whirl, and if I hate it I'll just send it off to be done proper.
>>29495149
Some poorly home-dyed medical tape. Makes the gun more comfortable when it's cold as fuck outside / rifle gets really hot.
>>29495409
As far as your mounting, I'm not really sure what would be best. RS is the route I'd go if I wanted to mount an optic that couldn't already go on the side mount. The TWS should keep a decent zero and keep it relatively low, but it's still an ACOG, so it'll sit high no matter what you put it on.
Personally I'd get a PO 3.5x21 for authenticity's sake (even these sit a little high) and put the ACOG on an AR.
>Best for the money, or best in general?
Right now I'd say both. At some point there's diminishing returns, and the next "best" option would be a $285 ELF trigger.
At that point a $285 ELF trigger in your $600 Saiga, with your $900-1200 ACOG sitting on top, with your $20 bolt on handguard retainer up front, because you wouldn't spend the extra $200 for someone to press the correct parts, seems like your priorities are a little askew to me.
But again, it's your money.
>>29495409
>>29495711
Forgot to mention, if price is no issue, and you want a low mounting 4x optic, WOLF imports the 1-4X32MM PSU. It's about $1500 but offers a variable zoom
>>29495711
But a bolt on handguard retainer is perfectly functional. If not incorrect. But I don't think he's looking to build a replica AK.
>>29495711
Alright, I'll probably grab an ALG AKT on my next round of firearm spending. I've used ELF's AR triggers and they're great, I wouldn't have much problem dropping the money for one of their AK triggers except for the fact that they don't actually appear to be for sale anywhere.
>seems like your priorities are a little askew to me
Truth is, I'm trying to give this rifle a fair shake. It was my first rifle (that wasn't a mosin) and I converted it myself. As I got other rifles, its shortcomings started to become painfully obvious and it just fell out of use. As stupid as it is, I have something of a sentimental attachment to it or I would just sell it. Considering I have something like $3k in my AR, it didn't seem unreasonable to invest some money in it.
So this weekend I took a range trip and brought only those two rifles along, so I could get an objective idea of what specific things I didn't like about the AK as opposed to the AR. A few hundred rounds later I was totally convinced that all it really needed was a good optic, and a good trigger.
I had the extra ACOG already and I love the optic, and since I don't plan on building another AR any time soon so I figured the AK would be a good home for it as long as I were able to work out an effective mounting solution.
The extra shit like hand guards isn't that important to me, and the only reason I'm not ready to send the gun to a proper smith for real hand guard retainers is that I'm not yet convinced I want AK74 handguards as opposed to some of the other options on the market, I want to try em out first.
>>29495334
I've never heard of one with the original milspec chrome-lined barrel. I've heard of people getting them rebuilt with a chromed or nitrided barrel, but unless you came into the rifle really cheap, that can end up costing almost as much as an Arsenal.
>>29494377
>AKMS = AKM with underfolder
>AKS-74 = AK-74 with sidefolding triangle stock
>>29496539
thanks
Would an AKMS74 be an underfolder in 5.45mm, then? I've seen some semiautos built in this configuration though they are, I suppose one-offs, and no one ever mass-produced such a configuration for issue to troops. Right?
>>29496569
The M stands for Modernized, as in AKM.
The S is the addition that denotes the folding stock on the AKM. In this case it was usually an under folder. The exception are the "Khyber Pass" side folding AKMs.
AK-74s were never made with an underfolding stock, they had transitioned to side-folders. You might get the rare underfolding AK-74 but it is usually home built.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-74
>>29496633
Ah, thanks.
I find the "Khyber Pass" builds and '74 underfolders to be aesthetically pleasing, but I'm weird like that.
>>29495012
i buy your raifu?
>>29496727
As do I. 74 underfolders are sexy.
>>29497053
If an anon genuinely liked my rifle, and was willing to make an offer, I might be willing to sell. So long as you promise to post pics in /akg/ from time to time.

>>29497999
>RAS47
>>29497402
I thought that was a WaffenWerks AK74
>>29497999
Don't do it. Get an npap or wasr.
>>29497999
>Is it shit?
Just picked this wasr 10/63 up for 600, how'd I do?
What if I just found pirate treasure in my AK parts box? I mean I own other pirate treasure, but I do not remember this piece of eight and it was just sitting in the bottom of a bunch of AK FCGs; I am perplexed, I do not remember acquiring this booty, though it is not unwelcome.
>>29498121
Not bad anon. It come with that furniture?
>>29498069
Why should I not do it? Is it shitty, or only just okay quality? Why Wasr or Npap?
>>29498186
I should add that this is my first AK.
Yeah from my count the furniture costed about 200 dollars. The stock is about $100, handle and quadrail bout $50 each. Pretty satisfied with my purchase.
Well it's here /k/, my first rifle.
There are a few kinks to work out; the front sight is canted, the bolt carrier won't close when a round is chambered, but Im pretty happy overall. It even came with the little black capsule parts kit, without the correct kind of stock
>>29498216
Cast parts as opposed to forge, bad quality control, lacks pre-ban features like bayonet lug.
It's a bad AK for the price you pay. Not as bad as an IO AK but still pretty bad.
>>29497999
What is your reasoning for wanting a RAS47 with Magpul over an Atlantic Firearms checked WASR?
The WASR is better in everyway and is cheaper. You can always add magpul furniture later.
DDI AKs are only $100 more as well.
>>29498250
If your point of aim and point of impact are the same at the correct distances leave your sight where it is, lube your AK with engine break in oil and work the action a lot if you do not know how to do the fine fitting the right way, it smells terrible but works great; it should stop sticking at any point except the hammer hump but that takes some actual fitting in most cases.
>>29498297
Would Hoppes be acceptable?
>>29498333
No, the whole point is so the parts can break in evenly and without galling, you could just take a fine stone and some high grit sand paper and do it yourself if you know what you're doing.
>>29498361
Alright. Also is it just me or is that half a fucking AK strap there
>>29498434
oh no its just a weird way of looping it
Here is a good tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1Ya8HWWgac
>>29498434
That is the whole thing, look up a youtube video of how to set it up
>>29498453
>>29498452
Thanks fellas.
I think I got it figured out, it's just really small for me
>>29498464
Yea I suggest just going on ebay or somewhere and getting a surplus sling for $15. They look better and are much longer.
>>29498476
I'll try the nearby surplus store, I'd be surprised if they didn't have one
>>29498453
So about that bolt carrier not closing... Is the extractor supposed to look like this?
>>29498491
Shit that's a bad picture. But you can still tell theres no room for the cartridge to rest there
>>29498491
I can't tell from the picture but here is mine for comparison. Mine is a 5.45x39 though
>>29498519
Here's a better one
>>29498491
Looks a little rough but not deformed.
>>29498497
AK extractors hold on tight.
>>29498434
>>29498250
Yea that sling looks really short mi familia
>>29498530
>>29498531
I'm pretty sure that's why it won't close though. I'll try again tomorrow when it's light out and I can go somewhere and actually shoot.
>>29498564
It is really short it's terrible
>>29498567
Take it out, cycle some rounds, if it locks smoothly then your extractor needs fitting.
>>29498582
Just remove the whole bolt from the BCG and give it a go?
>>29498586
No, remove the extractor from the bolt, you'll have to pull the cartridge from the chamber manually most likely but this is just for diagnosis anyway.
>>29497999
>>29498216
Go look up AKOU's 5000 round RAS-47 test.
>at 2500 rounds
>non-functional sights
>internals starting to look like plastic melted in a microwave
>rivets working their way out of the receiver
WASRs and NPAPs are the best entry-level price-point AKs on the market.
NPAP if you want beefier build and slightly better fit and finish.
WASR if you want Chrome-lined barrel, standardized parts and ergos with most AKMs.
I own both and would recommend a WASR over an NPAP as an intro to AKs, though both are solid fucking guns.
Don't get an RAS-47. AKfags will always mock you.
>>29498600
You got it. I'll try that tomorrow. Also the guy at the gun store told me to fix my canted sights with a hammer, what are your thoughts on that?
>>29498638
if I remember correctly, you might have to remove some pins on the front sight post. Not so sure though.
>>29498638
It's certainly POSSIBLE.
But you also DEFINITELY don't know what the fuck you're doing.
At the end of the day it's your gun and not my business what you do with it. But to me part of the appeal of slavshit is that it can be 100% functional despite visual imperfections.
So just squat, roundhouse some cheap vodka, and stop sperging.
>>29498638
A plastic or rubber mallet, not a hammer, brace the barrel as well when you're doing it IF it is even necessary, as I said earlier if it is properly zeroed with the canted sights then straightening them will mean you need to re-zero your rifle.
>>29498333
I can't tell if it is canted or not.
Try setting it on a table with the pistol grip and mag release hanging off, and the receiver bottom flat on the table. Then use two squares, one on each side, check the side of the receiver and the front sight base to see if you have the same distance on each side. You could also recenter the front sight post and run a string line to the rear to see if you have the same amount of barrel on each side.
>>29498698
Or just invert the rifle on a flat surface.
If the rear sight and front sight are perfect, it should rest flat on both.
>>29498250
looks good. oil it and go shoot it. dont worry about the sight. i guarantee it will shoot great.
>>29498778
No need to aim when allah will do that for you
>>29498799
exactly.
>>29498600
My included punch is too small to get the firing pin out it seems
>>29497977
>ducking
>>29498865
Go buy a cheap punch set at harbor freight.
>>29498908
you should pull the trigger and see if it works
>>29498908
That sounds like a bad idea but I guess that was my plan for tomorrow anyway
>>29498912
Do not do this, it will fire.
>>29498908
If your extractor is out and it is still doing this then my first guess was correct in that your lock up is just rough, get some break in oil and work the action a lot; also let it slam home don't baby it forward.
>>29497977
>>29498887
>AFLAC
>>29498908
your pulling the bolt all the way back and letting it go right? dont ride that shit just pull it back all the way and let go. let the recoil spring do the work.
>>29498928
The extractor is in in this picture
>>29498944
I didn't even open it, sorry; I doubt that is the problem though.
>>29498799
Exactly
>>29495012
Those rifles are so fucking disgusting

I can sale you new Soviet plum mags for $30 a piece.

Shit, sell.

Pics?
I have zero interest, but others might if you post them.

Ok, wait a minute.
Here you go.

Nice looking mags.
But your choice of ashtray is abysmal.
>>29491302
Nice pupper
Im looking for a good ak, I'm new to the platform so I'm looking for a decent ak. I really like the platform because I the feel and handling. If shot it more than once, any recommendations? Websites?
>>29500576
Excuse my English :P
>>29500579
Are you American?
If so, pic related.
If not, one of our Eurobros should be able to point you in the right direction.
>>29500494
Thanks. Nyet, the ashtray is fine.
>>29500750
нeт, ashtray is not fine тoвápищ.
But I hope someone takes you up on your offer.
>>29498957
Well if anyone is still here from last night and needs a laugh, you guys were right. I was babying the charging handle forward and this morning when I just pulled back and let that sit rip it worked perfectly

What do you think it is?

just finished this build. do you like her?
Just took the thing shooting, got punched in the cheek a few times. How do you fix that shit?
I like it anon

I like the sling though

>>29495409
How fucking retarded. I live in Alaska and don't even have issues with my gun being too cold. He should get some fucking gloves instead of making his gun look retarded as fuck.
Some people shouldn't be allowed to own firearms purely based off of their very poor taste.
>>29502503
ergonomics =/= tacticool
I wanted to build something really mobile, so its light, short and can be shot very well with collapsed stock. The muzzlebreak, frontgrip and pistolgrip really help to control the rifle when its stock is collapsed.
>>29502503
>anything other than wood is tacticool! Thats what the memes told me!
>>29502580
that gastube, wtf never not using a cover. im weirdly aroused
Love me some AKs
>>29502490
Bring the gun up to your face rather than your face down to the gun. Put your cheek into the little hollow between the stock's comb and the receiver.
Unless you have an OG NPAP. In which case take a fucking sander to it.
Splinters in the receiver after firing? They look like they're cartridge splinters
>>29502646
why did you swap the pistol grip between 3 from right and second from right?
I know because i have the same radom (2r)
>>29502623
That's an AMD-65, newfriend
>>29502721
Wut? Second from the right is not a radom, its a styer import Maadi ARM. 3 from the left is an SLR-107 with triangle stock and plum furniture.
>>29502721
>>29502762
Sorry third from the right is a Romainian SAR-1
7.62 or 5.45 for first gun? an AKM would obviously be cheaper and theres no problem with buying ammo online, but 5.45 is supposedly cheaper, although I find both rounds at 22c/rd.
Probably just be a range/home def/truck gun
How ddi compare to arsenal in terms of 5.45? The price difference between the two makes it seem like arsenals better by a mile.
>>29502990
>on a budget
>or want a plain ak74
DDI
>want a side folder without having to spend an extra $400
Arsenal
Not that difficult.
>>29498928
>headspace probably too tight
>nigga just put some mildly abrasive oil in it and rack it so violently and repeatedly that it gets everywhere and wears down everything, not just the areas that need work!
Jesus fuck I hope nobody listens to this stupid asshole.
Your extractor might be fucked up. Those tooling marks on the front are unacceptable, and if they're letting that get to the point where it looks like that I can't imagine how few fucks they give about the tools gutting the rim relief. The case probably isn't sitting fully in the bolt face. Take the extractor out and try it again with a variety of (ideally inert) cartridges. If you still can't get it closed maybe see if you can rent a GO gauge or find a local gunsmith with one. It should close with roughly 30lbs of pressure on the carrier on the GO gauge.
I'm willing to bet that the headspace is set too tight though. It could also be an improperly cut turning guide, or it could be missing a small chamfer on the bolt that interacts with the turning guide.
Although honestly the best advice you could get for a RAS47 that isn't working NIB is to return it or send it in for repair then sell it to anyone stupid enough to pay near retail for it.
can you secure in the lower and upper wood handguards if you no longer have that little retaining spring?
>>29503167
You're talking about this right?
Lower handguards will be fine but the upper handguard will be wobbly.
>>29503023
I mean is there any function difference aside from the side folder? Like trigger, how smooth the action is etc.
>>29503203
ok thanks. They're cheap enough anyway so I should probably just get it.
anyone else see the arms captured by the Navy off of a ship? Wonder if you can start a company that can pay the military to strip parts off of captured guns, sort of like a junkyard, before they get destroyed.
I mean... there has to be at least $300 worth of parts you can take off of them between the furniture, bolts, bolt carriers, magazines, and misc parts.
>>29503204
>I mean is there any function difference aside from the side folder?
Not a whole lot I'd imagine but the newer arsenals to my knowledge have steyr barrels, if that would actually make much of a difference. Just take your budget and what configuration you want your rifle to be into account.
>>29503204
Factory Arsenal triggers are notoriously dogshit, actually.
>>29503492
Forgot to add this but fucking this. The trigger on my sgl31 is terrible. You should be replacing any stock ak trigger with an akt anyways.
Oh, and the paint on arsenals are pretty bad

How can you not like the AK's automatic disassemble feature?
I picked up around 1500 rounds of 5.45 for around $0.20 a round locally a few weeks back, and with the ammo came six Bulgarian sanitized Russian mags and three Tapco mags. I've already got around two dozen surplus 5.45 mags and new production ((10)) 5.45 mags, and I'm all for getting more and keeping the sanitized mags I picked up, but i don't want or need the Tapco mags.
What can I do to get rid of them without throwing them in the trash? If I listed them for sale on AK files for like $15 for all three would they sell?
They work well enough for range mags but i just don't need them as I have enough better mags.
Is it normal for a brand new AK with 0 mag wobble to have a a tiny bit after putting 60 rounds through it? I was expecting mag wobble eventually, just didn't think it would be practically instant
>>29504574
i'd buy em
>>29505427
its prob the mags fault
but mag wobble isn't bad, unless it wont feed
It'll buff out
>>29505503
It probably still works.
>>29505427
Probably was tight due to the magazine finish.
>>29505607
>probably
It definately still works

Where to find laminated takeoff wood, from a WASR or otherwise, to fit a stamped AK?
I've been lurking (lurk lurk lurk) on Armslist locally but not seeing much, nor much current on Armslist, the Arfcom EE, Gunbroker, etc.
Alternately I am wondering about takeoff polymer, as long as it's AKM pattern, to paint green to make my very own Border Guard Presentation Avtomat. And a couple Tapco slabside 7.62 mags to paint to match, of course.
>>29505647
Apex
>>29505647
>to paint green to make my very own Border Guard Presentation Avtomat
You'll need magdimples, for starters.
>>29498625
tfw i bought one for 700 in december is a tough one
just seemed like a better deal than the $1300 ar platforms
should i sell to some other newfag and try to find a wasr?
>>29505503
Kek I just saw that on the AK operators union page.
WHat makes it pit like that?
Where can I find a cheap AKM74 rifle? As well as cheaper ammo for it?
>>29506033
>AKM74
there' no such thing
