lets stop overreacting about arsenal edition
old thread >>29809838
>>29816049
hey guys, ar fag here.
if i wanted an ak that was as cheap and reliable as a psa ar15, what should i get?
>>29816055
WASR, though I imagine you'll find some way to fuck that up as you usually do.
>>29816049
>reliable as a psa ar15
>ars reliable
LOL! Just get a WASR
Is this only a problem with the 107s? What about the 104s? I'm looking for a 5.45 AK but I'm stuck between a DDI-74 and a SLR-104, and im starting to lean towards the DDI atm
>>29816074
i feel as though my question may not be as triggering to you fags as i thought.
>>29816095
Your shitposting game is scarily weak.
>>29816117
well, i never post here and don't know shit about ak's(other than they're shit), so i don't know what triggers you fags.
>>29816055
WASR's are about $625 which is about as cheap as you can build a legit PSA for anyways.
>>29816132
>implying I'll ever be triggered by "fucked his credit up forever and still living at home giddy"
>>29816165
cool it, hot head, you'll melt the paint off your ak.
>>29816079
seems to be more an issue with the year of production, as the paint bubbling issue is relatively new. They must have switched to shittier paint.
>>29816176
That'd work if I was an Arsenal fanboy or even an AK fanboy. You're the shittier and poorer version of Squid. That'll never change no matter how much of other people's money you spend on an AR.
>>29816049
What's all this uproar about anyway? No news to anyone that arsenal has shitty finish.. But to be fair you are paying a premium price for an AK. But if flakey finish is the only potential problem I'll live with it I'm not going to whine. Here's my 107, been mag dumping almost every time I'm at the range, temp gun read 450 F and the finish is still smooth and tight.. Maybe I got lucky
>>29816267
>That'd work if I was an Arsenal fanboy or even an AK fanboy.
cool, so i'm learning.
>>29816291
Good. So maybe you will learn that if you dont want people to reference your trip, then take off the fucking trip. Maybe that way people would have answered your question and not spawned another discussion between tripfags.
>>29816287
The uproar is in part due to how little it took for the paint to get thoroughly rekt. I think another user recreating Robski's test with his own rifle from the same batch had only three magdumps before it was slagging off.
What's really getting people's panties in a twist is that, after the paint was melted off, rust could be seen on the metal surface and apparently the parkerized finish was nowhere to be found. There's more to come Thursday in the next vid, so we'll see if things escalate.
>>29816287
Arsenal finish being shitty is old news, but it bubbling off from 3 mag dumps is new, before if you mag dumped the only real issue is that you might melt the furniture, as one butthurt youtuber showed by bump firing through something like 7 mags as fast as possible.
Also, the AKOU pics show rust under the finish, which is pretty fucking unacceptable.
>>29816305
you do realize i only came here to shitpost, right?
i would never own a ak, i may be stupid and poor, but i still have some self respect.
![WP_20151228_026[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/pLs7Tds.jpg "WP_20151228_026[1].jpg")
>>29816337
> i still have some self respect.
I thought what remained of that was blown away with your suppressor baffles.
>>29816237
i'd say it's not so much the paint as the prep work. they are probably shitting out these rifles as fast as possible and quality slipped further.
>>29816314
So exactly what is on the line here? Are we waiting to see if more paint will come off? Or is AKOU expecting some functionality issues?
>>29816356
i paid the repairs in full so i got some back.
plus i finally did a form 1 so that another plus.

>Are we waiting to see if more paint will come off?
The paint's pretty much done, we're just waiting to see if some serious mechanical issues show up.
>>29816411
i almost want to buy a shitty ak just to hit it with hammers and shitpost about malfunctions, almost.
>>29816370
>>29816390
Imports of this rifle will stop because their demand is so high from militaries around the world. They are shitting out guns left and right because they got a lot of contracts from the Middle East. It looks like poor prepping and parkerization before the paint was applied. Cap my post but I guarantee he will have more issues with his rifle considering others in the same serial line have reported issues. Personally I have an SLR107FR and the most I've dumped consecutively has been 5 mags and the hand guards got really hot and began to smoke, I let it cool and took it down to see if the polymer melted but it looked normal.
So I'm looking to get a Galil in the future. What would be the most cost efficient way to get one? I don't really want to get all the tools to put together a parts kit (unless it is cheaper to get a parts kit and have a professional build it).
>>29816411
I posted that. Giddy is cancer that spawned out of the circle jerk that is /arg/. The post times are probably close because he's probably F5ing to see if his shitposting gets a rise out of anyone. All his life is eating tendies from mommy and maxing out credit cards without any income on his AR.
>>29816049
>>29816267
Squid anon edition is pretty cool honestly.
Do you guys accept galils? I was thinking of buying a parts kit.
to reply to >>29815812
It is true that the Sidefolder receivers that DDI showcased had offset crushed rivets and the rear trunnion was riveted too far back. you can clearly see it in the picture.
>>29816604
not only is the trunnion riveted too far back it's riveted at an angle. you can see the offset angle from the bottom to the top, the push button is also solid instead of dimpled

Is there a ball park cost for galil parts kit so I don't get jewed?
>>29816049
AKs in my safe:

>C.N. Romarm S.A./Cugir Draco pistol including wrist brace, $450 out the door

>half-built Bulgarian parts kit, on loan from my brother until his Navy contract is up
How'd I do?
>>29816660
apex and numrich have galil parts kits under $400.
considering AK parts kits are in the $300 range I'd say thats a decent price tag.
>>29816618
>>29816604
I'd reserve judgement till they are in production. wasn't that just a mock up receiver?

ffuck outta here.
>>29816660
give up on the galil train. Unless IMI finally gets their shit together and releases a commercial one, dont bother. You are better off with a SLR105 for the money. You already missed the train on real unissued milsurp IMI galil barrels for $60 a few months ago, and building from a parts kit is very tricky unless you got access to a full machine shop with a mill. Even then, do you want a 5.56 rifle that is not a 20" Masterrace that weighs over 8lbs unloaded? Literally better in every way to get a 5.56 AK such as the 105 or Beryl. Galils are literally collectors/status symbol rifles.
>>29816713
apex kits are fuckin trash, and numrich kits dont look that great due to the fact they are SAR kits so you have to locate another GB and piston, unless you gonna SBR or pistol it, in which case GFL trying to find a SAR barrel that isnt shot-out AND <$500.
>>29817029
>As for "Anonymoose"
>4chinz logs your IP on every post, and the jap who owns this site sells it to a "marketing" (hinthintNSA) company to metadata your online profile.
forced anonymity means there's no name field you cockshit.
Which one of you /k/unts are selling 40rd 7.62 bakes on AKfiles? I want what your ad states: "I have nine 40-round RPK bakelites in new condition. I am asking for $120 shipped."
I got $120 for all 9 of them, shipped.
>>29816049
So what is the paint bubbling supposed to prove? That its shitty paint? Who the fuck cares about the finish.
That's not the reason I'm sending my arsenal in for repairs. Canted front sights and headspacing problems is why i'm sending in my arsenal. (probably going to end up selling it, if there is a headspace issue)
>>29817045
120 each
>>29817045
I don't know if this is a troll but that's for EACH, pal.
>>29817065
>(probably going to end up selling it, if there is a headspace issue)
just FYI, if it doesnt seem to close on a GO gauge, that doesnt mean its not headspaced correctly.
No one stateside who sells headspace gauges has gotten their hands on an actual russian headspace round. It calls for 30lbs of forward pressure for it to actually close on a GO gauge, and 40 lbs for it to not close on a NO GO gauge. Just cause it doesnt seem to close on a GO gauge when you pussyfoot it gently and you have less than 5k rounds through it, doesnt mean the headspace is bad.
As for canted sights, seems like a legit reason. Just keep in mind they fix it and stick in bigger pins, thereby cutting more of your barrel material between outside and inside bore away.
>>29817066
no nigger, your ad says you have 9 for sale, and youre asking $120 shipped.
>"I have nine 40-round RPK bakelites in new condition. I am asking for $120 shipped."

Shame you have 0 feedback, or I'd run your ass up a wall with the marketplace mods there.
Know what you are selling, and how much you want for it. You seem to know what you are selling, but dont know how to communicate how much you want.

>>29817296

>>29817323
Is that cheap for a Galil?
>>29817358
you can buy a new one on GB for roughly the same, or up to $700 more.
At which point, you might as well buy those cheesegrater SAKO's that guy is selling for ~$3.5k each.
Would a DDI-74 be a bad buy for a 5.45 AK at only $750? I was *considering* an SLR-104 but I don't really care for the side folding stock, and now the finish is in question. Thoughts? I am not an AK purist, just need solid finish and reliable function.
>>29817376
Go back to Sebenza shitposting you autistic faggot.
>>29817376
DDI is fine.
>>29817396
wtf is your problem bro? I'm asking a serious question. This would be my first AK pattern rifle, with a WASR later down the road.
>>29817373
Yeah i gotcha. I love the older ones with the wood handguard, they just look so nice.
>>29817358
Its not too shaby, I needed a shop press to press some rivets in, need it for more aks anyways, but I'm sure the toth tool Tigger guard rivet jig will work. I also built it myself because I really enjoy making guns from a mess of parts
>>29817000
>9mm FMJ
>>29817450
Don't worry about him he's just sperging out.
>>29816723
no, it was a display prototype, and they still fucked the trunnion and rivets
>>29817459
I heard the handguard feels like holding a 2x4 with grooves cut in it.. While I agree they look nice, and I used to pwn scrubs with it in BO due to that sweet 35rd mag, I cannot justify getting one.
>>29817474
how much would it cost a gunsmith to put a parts kit together? Would it be similar enough to getting a fully built one off of GB that it's not even worth it?
>>29817516
I'm sure they have replacements if I don't like the feel of it. Maybe I can find one somewhere with the wood handguard so I can test the feel of it.
>>29817545
any respectable gunsmith, even for AK's will charge roughly $500+ to put together any gun. Seeing as the galil is more than welding in a trunnion like a HK91, Id prolly say closer to $1k
>>29817545
I didn't look into the cost for a gunsmith. I know the century galils are around $1000 but I'm sure youve heard of their spotty quality every so often. Also they used some lesser quality receivers and had some recalls. If you do build your own stay away from "Ohio rapid fire" and "assault weapons of Ohio" they're way out of spec and need tons of extra work.
>>29816140
I put a $679 WASR on layaway. Did I fuck up or is that not too bad for an LGS?
>>29817516
I like the grip. Its not as big as you think
>>29817625
>stay away from "Ohio rapid fire" and "assault weapons of Ohio"
>Literally the only two manuf's that make galil receivers
So you think he should mill his own outta 4130 bar stock?
>>29817125
Thanks for the heads-up. To be honest I have never even heard of the headspacing issue until a few threads ago when someone mentioned that being able to see, from the right side of the AK where the charging handle, a small hole where the dust cover meets the receiver. According to that anon and about 4 others backing up what he said, I'll have to take it for what it is.
And yeah, the SLR104's barrel is goddamned straw thin.
What a beautiful rifle but man is it plagued.

>>29817967
"pairing with?" you mean to carry as a sidearm while your primary is an AK?
For the weight of a pistol you could probably carry another rifle mag or two.
That having been said if The Habbening habbens my sidearm is likely to be a 4" stainless GP100, with few speedloaders on my belt. If I have a problem that can't be solved with six rounds of fullhouse .357 Mag, well, it's a good thing I brought a rifle to the fight, now isn't it?

>>29818346
Decided to ditch the polyner?
>>29818330
No anon I ment using a 33rd magazine for SD instead of a standard 15 or 17 rd mag. U know the equivalency of using a mac 10 or Uzi for sd.
>>29816916
That's a pretty sharp looking Yugo, mane.
>>29818116
>For the weight of a pistol you could probably carry another rifle mag or two.
Two fully loaded steel AK mags (7.62x39) is roughly equivalent to an unloaded Glock 17 plus four fully loaded 17 round magazines.
So you can either have 60 extra AK rounds or 68 Glock rounds.One could debate back and forth which one would be better to have, but IMO having a good backup is definitely something worth having.on hand.
>>29818409
>using a mac 10 or Uzi for sd.
This is also perfectly legal. Load that 33 rd mag with HST and use it for SD, nothing wrong or illegal about it.
>>29818419
dont argue with that retard. he thinks that the extra pound a milled rifle weighs is "almost a full 30rd 7.62 mag"
>>29818394
Not 100%, just kinda ready for a change. I like switching things up with my rifles. Also looking for an AFFORDABLE club foot stock for said WASR just to see how it would look. That stock set had a really shitty finish over the wood, and "7,62x39 and Fire" were filled in with shitty red paint.

>>29818557
My LGS said he would pull the club off his WASR and swap it with mine. (that was the only poly part of the gun, btw) for a $280 fee. Everywhere else that I've thought to look hasn't had them in stock in months, poly or wood.

More than likely, unless some serious shit goes down on Thursday, the only thing you'll have to worry about is this finish-melting thing becoming the new Glocknade maymay.
Not saying it isn't a problem, but it'll be blown out of proportion to the point where there are shitposts saying RAS47s are mechanically better by every measure.
Whats the chance of ever getting an RK95 in the states? Im fucking in love with them. They produce target rifles Im pretty sure so why not set up something like arsenal, sending them over and getting them converted?
>>29818640
Yup. Currently going to Ortiz in Savannah, looking into stores in Jacksonville. Same distance to each for me anyway. The only LGS in Brunswick is Overpriced Fudd shop #1 and Overpriced Fudd shop that wants to try to draw the tactical crowd #1.
> There's also a BASED dude oper8ing out of his house (go away ATF he's an FFL holder) that I got my Sig from, but he only orders complete guns and AR parts, for some reason won't try to order AK parts for me.
>>29817862
maybe mine was a lemon, but as far as 54R is concerned, it shot like shit. Functioned perfectly, but couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. I bought it brand new from a dealer, still wrapped in plastic. Ironically, bulgy surplus was the best shooting ammo I ever ran in it. Shot about 3" with it at 75 yards. Shot some 7N1, and some PPU too, they shot wider groups.
Bought a PTR, shot about 1.25" at 150 yards with white box x51. I say this to illustrate that it wasn't me missing. The rifle shot shit all over the place. Barrel whip maybe? Never knew. Sold it for $1500.
>>29818697
Looked good though.
>>29818471
For real I'll buy it bro.

so am I lucky or were the other two guys just flukes. Maybe I just don't mag dump hard/often enough next time I'll go out and dump like 8 mags and see what happens.
>>29818471
Trade you an SAR 3 lmao
>>29818724
>>29818753
Question 1. Are you from IN?
Question 2. Did your Muzzle brake on that 54R come off while shooting at a friends house?
> /spoilers don't work on /k/. If so, that happened at my house.
Are Tech Sights or Mojo Sights any good?

Hey dude! We always find each other here.
>>29818801
For 10/22 they're the cat's pajamas.
For other stuff I have not tried them.
>>29818697
they prolly used a .308 barrel blank and reamed it to 54r chamber specs, wouldnt suprise me. or you fucked the crown when you threaded it.
>>29816604
And? It wasn't on a rifle at all and it was a prototype stock set, rivets in that condition wouldn't have left DDI if they were on a rifle.
>>29818771
>>have an XM55 serial 107 2 months old

Prove it.

>>29818827
I thought I knew those guns !
This post is about to be way off topic, but heres the alternate pig rig with the CETME. when you visit, you'll have a bag and possibly a chest rig and one of these two rifles. see >>29818346 for AK setup. I'll text you the details about the 300BLK AR i'm building to be a NV host. . .
>>29818839
I mean, to be fair, I thought about the crown. I thought it was me, but, I had it recrowned, and they thought it was fine. Still could have been. Idk, it didn't shoot real well before hand either. Kinda a bummer. My father has one with a 16" barrel and it shoots far better, although it blinds you when you pull the trigger. I'm still leaning towards I got a lemon barrel.
>>29818865
Not really sure how to prove it what do you want?
>>29818878
I should have some time off in Aug/early september. Still looking like I'm going to Langley too, so I won't be too horribly far away. Pig hunting still sounds like a blast.
>>29818836
Well that's good, since I've been considering the Tech Sights for my 10/22 as well. But I'm having a hard time seeing through those damn leaf sights, mainly.
This is bothering the fuck out of me. There seems to be a small chip int he steel of the crown of my vepr 54r. I don't recall ever bumping it into anything or ever hurting it with a cleaning rod (I only use bore snakes for my AKs).
>>29818495
SGL-31 is king, faggot.
>>29818681
Someone please halp
Happy I went with 5.45
>have a wasr also
>>29818995
Hows ammo and mags for it? Thinking of getting a DDI-74 myself
>>29818681
Because it cost fucking money to do that. It's not as simple as you think. There also needs to be market demand.
FB Radom was supposed to be up already but they got cucked by the ATF as of now...
>>29818827
>>29819048
Expensive40$+ but if you buy good surplus you will never have to replace
>>29818880
.308 barrels are actually .311 diameter, while 54r barrels are really .308 diameter. From the sound of it, you got a 308 barrel reamed to 54r chamber specs, or a shit cut rifling barrel.
>>29818908
ignore that autistic fucker, he is hellbent on ragging on arsenal because he cant afford one. he asked the same thing of someone else last thread, and dude posted his SN, which subsequently shut him up rite quick.
>>29818940
they dropped it before pressing on the FSB, notice how its straight across, but only chipped on one side.
>>29819103
what is that tan abomination? Circle 10 Straw bakelite?
>>29819241
Haha I don't know honestly it's a (21) it was the only one they had so I snagged it
>>29819241
>they dropped it before pressing on the FSB, notice how its straight across, but only chipped on one side.
Will that fuck up accuracy?
What kind of muzzle brake would look decent on a vepr but not too faggy?
What is the best way to remove the muzzle nut that is pined and welded on the threads?
>>29819284
as long there is no deformation to the inner circle (bore) it should be fine.
>>29819271
Is it painted, or is it actually tan? And what PG did you get, cause that looks hawt as fuark...
>>29819192
Where is this pic from Senpai?
>>29818961
This cheeky nigger gets it.
>>29819293
Nope it's tan and surplus Bakelite
>>29819271
>>29819320
>that mag
>bakelite
>>29819339
The grip retard
>>29819057
They already make the rifles and every day people can acquire import licenses(Life Size Potato on youtube, that's how get has gotten a good amount of his guns that there are very few of in the US), there is huge demand for firearms in the US. They would make plenty of money
>>29819320

damn shame I missed this deal....
Anyway, what did they call your Pistol Grip?
Red Russian Bakelite? You got a link to where you got it?
>tfw US Palm grip feels as amazing as everyone says
So now that it's coming out that the SLR-107 (if not more) are burning off their finish, what should I do next with this Eastern European whore?
1. Buy more mags and ammo, and take pictures when I fry the paint off it
2. Get it refinished
3. Buy a rail and red dot
4. Buy an ALG AKT FCG
>>29819355
Came with a apex kit. I just call it surplus but it is a red Bakelite I think
>>29819353
Thats why Chris Butler has been MIA helping set up a factory for them and jumping through hoops for the ATF. Stop assuming shit that it's just so easy cuz some youtuber does it.
>>29819398
If a guy and his dad can get an import license I'm not really quite sure how a multi million dollar company would have trouble
>>29819458
lets see, a pistol for sporting is different then a fucking not sporting rifle
>>29819473
Import as sporting rifle, convert over here, voila
>>29818759
are u new here
>>29819458
>getting a import license to expand a private collection
>getting an import license for a business that plans on selling firearms for profit
actually seems like a lot more headache involved.
Is the Dragunov really as good as the stories tell or is it just am over hyped rifle?
So with hillary probably winnin the election, what are the odds of landing an AK-74 in the next 6 months?
>>29819631
having only ever shot a tigr and from what i read on the internet- it seems like an ok dmr but overhyped and overpriced here in the us (the latter with good reason i suppose)
>>29819642
What do you mean? You can buy them right now buddy
Which do I choose /k/?
>>29819742
I fucked that post up, sorry. I meant to say 6 months from now

>>29819241
You've got that switched .308 is .308 and 54r .311
>>29819832
>>29819833
The worst part is I don't have a gun for it, I need a 5.5mm trunnion, so either build a gun and use 5.5mm trunnion or convert a saiga and swap out for 5.5mm trunnion.
Just a quick question- anyone ever have problems with bullets nicking their brakes?
My WASR did this a while back and now I found a nick in my SLR brake. Any reasons why this would happen after so many rounds or how to prevent it from happening again? I was thinking of using a washer to stabilize the brake more.
I know my SLR104 gets some pretty thick carbon buildup around the muzzle. Could this be problematic? I've scrubbed it pretty good, but there's still some stuck on there.
>>29819781
>>29819970
So you did get it, hella good price
I vote build or Saiga
>>29820017
ur barrel was milled off center
>>29820102
What would be the cheaper option? not sure on caliber 7.62 or 5.45 yet
>>29820144
I'm aware of that, but why did it take so long to act up? And what can I do to minimize the issue?
>>29820331
just dont use a break
>>29820243
If you don't have the tools saiga. Definitely 5.45
Sveet svt
>>29820468
I have all the tools, trouble would be finding a correct kit, might do a 105 if I could get a gas block.
>>29819642
I'll sell you a melted SLR-104FR for $2300 with one magazine and half a box of 69 grain RAS 5.45 after she's elected, deal?
>>29820543
I-it won't be THAT bad....

Help
>>29820515
You could get a saiga and turn it into a 105
>>29820647
Get a DDI
it's the next best, apparently
N-PAP yay or nay?
>>29820688
They don't make a folder (yet?)
>>29820688
Nah nigga, shit ass barrels and DDI is having some QC as of late, actual functionality issues, unlike the small batch of Arsenals with fucked finishes.
>>29820705
>BUy that
>Go to range or other outdoor activity that people who like camo things do

I see the real plan there...
>>29820734
Oh I guess if it's gotta be a folder idk. Are side folders like underfolders in that the reciever needs to be permanently altered to take one?
>>29820746
wew. it's a regular AK apocalypse this year
>RAS shit
>Arsenal shit
>now DDI sht
>>29820752
yes but you can weld it up if you change it to a fixed stock (not sure why you would but w/e)

wew lad

and it's CEO tells people they need to get laid more.
>>29820863
>everyone that states the facts is a shill

I think the bigger deal is how unprofessional the faggot is.
>>29820887
My favorite part about that thread on AKfiles is that everyone agreed with him. It was hilarious.
>>29820887
I know it was AKfiles he said it on which is full of retards and manchildren, but that shit is unprofessional as fuck and pathetic.
>>29820900
AKfiles sucks manufactures dicks so hard they put arfcom to shame.
>>29820917
I don't fucking care. just stating it reflects poorly on himself and the company.
Sounds like you need to get laid more yourself buckaroo.
don't have anything substantial to contribute tonight but about a month ago I had an idea to put all my cleaning supplies into a husky tool bag and that shit rocks so I thought I'd post it
>>29820953
I think the Arsenal fanbois existential crisis and sheer levels of mental gymnastics they are about to have this Thursday might upset that title.
>>29820935
>the owner said some words I don't like

C'mon now son
Is the arsenal crisis only the 107? Are the 104's still good to go?
>>29821065
>25 cents has been deposited into your DDI account
buying all Arsenals right now for $550 cash. PM me.
>>29821070
There's not enough information out, of course everyone is making it a bigger deal than it is and we won't know until we get something official from Arsenal how this whole thing will turn out.
>>29821070
still waiting on someone to confirm. I think an anon said he was going to dump some mags and check.
>>29820935
>just stating it reflects poorly on himself and the company.

>>29820935
The dipshit who got his colon crucified in that thread bragging about buying two (2) PSAK47s and writing what was likely the most spergy post seen on AKfiles (of all places) that month reflects poorly on himself and AK owners as a whole.
>>29821216

It was literally in the post that got that the 'get laid' reply. Mr. Scrambled Numbers For a Username was throwing a tardrage leading up to then.
