Are Polish WZ88s good guns?
>>29912548
Depends on who built it.
Tantals are generally good if built properly.
>>29912683
The armlist ad says it was built by interarms. They said its not a century build but it's armslist so who knows. The guy wants $650 for it.
>>29912524

if you your saiga is directly from russia, chances are mags don't fit by default and you would additionally need a bullet guide

So far so good, I'm looking at possibly having the bolt case hardened. One of my friends that's a slavaboo is saying that if Century only took the time to case harden it, it should be fine.
>>29913055
I've never handled a .223 saiga but if bulgy .223 mags work in it, then the beryl mags should work too.

15 rounders sound intriguing.
Wonder how long it'll take them to get it out, and then how long it's perpetually OOS.
>>29913213
well you can wait it out till they unfuck their QC (not going to happen) or you can play the lottery and count on having to refinish your rifle (which will hold up better in the long run anyway)
try and find a gun store that carries Arsenal rifles so you can check it for cant. I'm lucky that I live near 3 stores but you might be shit out of luck.
>>29913546
now that is sexy
>>29913597
theynhave gone from no prototype to a prototype in about a month so, we should see these by the end of the summer I'll guess.
Yes they are 15 rounds, it's about the size of an AK mag(length wise).
>>29913618
Yup
>>29913630
Is there any talk about pricing yet?
CSS usually has pretty ok prices on their mags.
>>29913546
Are there shorter barrel options for a x54 Vepr? i'd kill to turn it into a proper x54 "AK" but having a giant mag with an SVD length barrel just triggers my autism
Looking to buy my first AK74, already own a WASR AK57 that is on it's last legs barrel-wise, beat the fucking shit out of it and im not putting money into it. also 5.45 seems to be much cheaper.

do they make a model that isnt sporterized? i'm not looking to pay the difference between a saiga and an arsenal to turn the saiga into a normal looking 74
>>29913746
>>29913998
>>29914093
No. They have to sporterize saigas to get them in (technically SGL's are saigas, but theyre Arsenals and $1500/+).
They don't make them that way for shits 'n giggles.
>>29914093
probably not in the US. the saigas in europe arent sporterized from what ive seen.

/akg/ I have my heart set on an Arsenal 107fr but can't find one for the life of me. A lgs has a 104fr for slightly below market average. Tell me why I should 5.45 instead of 7.62?
>>29914419
because the mag curve looks nicer :^)
and has less recoil
>>29914419
>Tell me why I should 5.45 instead of 7.62?
Idk, do you want feel almost no recoil? Do you want superior ballistics? Do you want to scavenge ammo off of dead ruskies if they invade? Then 5.45 is right for you.

Hey /k/, my friend and I were looking at some Yugo M70s PAPs, with the receivers made by Century. and one AK model made entirely from CAI.

Are these any good? It's about 650 for the M70, and 700 for this guy, http://centuryarms.biz/proddetail.asp?prod=RI2245-N&cat=134

The 7.62 mags look better in my opinion. 5.45 AKs the look of 74's never clicked with me. There's a voice screaming in my head that 7.62x39 is better and I can't do anything about it.
Now 5.45 ARs are cool tho
>>29918497
5.45x39 is pretty damn cool though
if you can deal with less barrier penetrate the fabulous terminal ballistics, low recoil, flatter trajectory, and less weight are pretty bad-ass.

A buddy of mine from the Polish Armed Forces cringed when I said I wanted a Tantal. According to him they're fine rifles if you're a pacifist because they're inaccurate as shit due to poor design. I've heard of the Century Tantals having accuracy problems as well, but I don't know any other company that manufactures them so I can't really say.
Personally though, testament from my buddy is more than enough for me.
>>29920516
I don't really like full stock AK-74s. Some of them are nice, depending on the setup, but I feel like a full wood fixed stock AK74 looks a bit weird. Personally I'd much rather have an autistic attention-to-detail AKS-74 from the Soviet-Afghan war period.

Do the Russians still issue any AK74s with triangle stocks or are they all your standard polymer AK74Ms?

How come the slr104s do not use that spring loaded firing pins ?
>>29923818
No idea.
All I know is that on my 107fr, the spring loaded nature of the firing pin somehow makes taking the bolt apart MUCH easier.
Taking the firing pin out just requires some pressure on the firing pin rear, followed by punching out the retaining pin by hand. My other ak with its free floating firing pin requires a hammer and an unsettling amount of force to dislodge the retaining pin.
>>29924306
Interesting i just noticed that about the 104s and I was confused on the reason why the 107s have that style pin.

I have one in 5.45 and I see no such problems. Kindly provide pics, the only thing I'm worried about is my paint falling off.
Would a modern Russian optic on a triangle folding plum furniture SLR104 look weird? It seems wonky to me. I feel like a proper triangle folder should be wood and bakelite, while if I want a more modern rifle I should use black polymer with a polymer folder.
Is a triangle folder with plum furniture anachronistic? Would a triangle folder with plum furniture and a modern Russian optic be really anachronistic? Not that I care because it's my rifle and I'm going to to what I want, I'm just curious if it ever happened.

They do, they just haven't been easy to get for a while. Pic related, the 223 and 545 model look identical.
I have a 223 vepr, but it's not one of their sporter style rifles. I wish they'd import the 20" sporters with fluted barrels again because I want one of those too.
>>29925366
Fuck no, plum furniture triangle folders were definitely a thing. And since the Russian optics are mostly backwards compatible, it would really just be representative of a late era AKs-74N in modern use.

This one is cheaper but doesn't come with a barrel. But, the top cover hasn't been removed from the RSB, which is a plus.
>>29925588
Possibly, but I've only ever seen 74M's and recycled 74M's. But keep in mind that these were made up to 1989 so many are really not even that old. Lots of Ukrainians were using them to resist the Russians, presumably from old Soviet depots or something.

I suck at lighting/picture quality.
>>29925703
Make sure you get good pics of that bad headspacing. Curious what bad headspacing looks like.
>>29925730
That one is a nogo. I have a ME industries charging handle loctite'd so I couldn't show the gap.
Look at the right side of the rear sight block in this picture.
>>29925636
I mean it wouldn't surprise me if they were and you mentioning production up to '89 puts things in perspective, but still it just seems so old and archaic (which it really isn't as they're more or less very similar but still). The idea of 74Ns still being around seems so bizarre when the AK100 series exists.
Again, looking at production dates puts it in perspective that they're aren't too far apart as the 74M began production in '91, but I don't know it just feels like there should be a vast difference in time between the two. It's weird.
>>29925276
I had a VEPR in .308 for a while and it was a great rifle. It's hard to compare my old VEPR to my current SLR104, but both are excellent. The VEPR had a considerably better finish, though. If I had a choice between my SLR104 and a 5.45 VEPR with proper furniture I'd still probably go with the SLR simply because the VEPR is a little heavier.
Speaking of VEPRs, are VEPR Supers still being made? All I see out there fairly regularly are Supers in .223 (KVar has them now) while the only Supers on Gunbroker are both in .308 starting at $1700. I'd love to pick up a Super one of these days, but I don't really want one in .223 and I don't want to pay nearly two grand on one in .308 considering I bought my old .308 VEPR for only like $550.

What am I looking at? Am I being trolled?
If you really can't zero your rifle, that sucks and I would contact Arsenal about it, but inventing problems like this is just the buyer's remorse talking. Also, headspace isn't something you can see like that, you're fundamentally misunderstanding headspace. Whatever gap you're talking about has nothing to do with headspace, rest assured.
>>29925856
Have you tried contacting Arsenal? I know their customer service isn't the greatest, but if you try and they still don't respond, you can trash them on kikebook.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
As far as headspace goes, have you actually used a set of "go, no-go" gauges?
>>29925856
Yeah, your FSB is badly canted. Contact Arsenal. I know they say that canted sights aren't covered in their warranty, but if it's so canted it can't be zeroed the rifle should be considered defective. That one should have never left their doors, the cant is easy to see.
>>29925892
No trolling today. Found out the IRS is going to fuck me in the ass. I'm not in a good mood. (even to troll)
I've heard from ALOT of ak owners that the RSB is supposed to fit evenly between those two tabs. And if it isn't, it's because: RSB Cant or headspacing problems.
>>29925904
I actually just sent off the pictures to arsenal. I'm still debating whether I want to just dump this rifle and get a SGL or just save the cash for a LMT.
>>29925915
I could not EVER give a single shit for paint bubbling or fit and finish problems. (rust under the paint is a different issue and I would be furious over that)
I have a new SR-15 carbine and it's got a few beauty scratches and paint chips already, I couldn't care less. It can be repainted and finished.
>>29925981
>I actually just sent off the pictures to arsenal. I'm still debating whether I want to just dump this rifle and get a SGL or just save the cash for a LMT.
If you're sticking with 5.45, the SGL wouldn't be a bad option, but for half the price, you could get a DDI in 5.45.
Also, LMT makes a damn good rifle. I was very happy with my Defender 2000 and am still happy with my 10.5" LMT upper.
Where do you guys typically sight in your 7.62X39 AK's? I have shit vision so I was wondering if 50 yards was suitable considering the ballistics of the round.
>>29925981
Why did you accept the transfer tho ?
>>29925981
Nah, no problems with your RSB. Those are just little alignment tabs and there's no need for them to fit tight, or anything like that.
Good luck. That rifle was not fit to be sold. If Arsenal doesn't make right by that, then fuck them.
question for the Saiga12 crowd: does the Saiga 12 use a normal AK safety lever or is it a shotgun only type ?
Does this look like rust to you guys? I didn't notice it until now. All this Arsenal bubbling finish stuff got me looking over my SLR-104 (6000+ rounds, many many magdumps with no bubbles or anything, no 7n6/corrosive ammo through the gun, all WPA) and I noticed this here, around the gas block, and around the front sight. Is this normal?
1/3
>>29926238
3/3
The rifle has ran flawlessly and is a fantastic gun, I just didn't notice any of this until now. Should I be worried about it? I don't have any of the necessary tools to remove the front sight or gas block to see underneath or anything (if I did I'd be building kits by now) so this is all I can see from the outside.
>>29926125

You already know what must be done.
>>29925981
Headspace is a function of the area between a closed bolt and the end of the chamber. It is the space that the cartridge sits in in the barrel. too tight, the action can be almost permanently locked up. Too loose, and gun can go kaboom.
>>29926256
that's just the grease they use when putting it together. It's fine, it'll just hold carbon and piss you off if you want a pristine rifle.
>>29925863
How would he/she get them back legally?
>>29923818
Didn't know 107s used firing pin blocks
I know they use them in 5.56 aks because capitalist jews use inferior soft primers
>>29926608
From what I've gathered and the problem I was referring to has to deal with the RSB not being seated evenly and properly.
So when the bolt carrier is forward, it would be slightly tilted and not evenly locking up.
If that makes sense.
What are the best and worst 7.62x39 mags?
>>29926620
Really? I'm making a big deal about stupid grease?
>>29926789
Most mags are good but korean mags/ promags are the worst.
>>29926823
Tapco are OK?
Also, I heard that the Korean 30 rounders were alright but the higher cap ones weren't
Quick question: who makes a better trigger pin retaining plate: Tapco or Krebs Custom?
>>29926789
Best? Eastern European steel, and some say the Yugo mags have better springs and better finish and QC than others. Bulgarian steel reinforced polymer "waffle mags" are outstanding, lightweight, durable, and $50 a pop if you can find one anywhere.
Worst? The Korean mags look good on the outside but they're not fitted correctly. They have poor springs and the follower needs to rise up another 1/8" or so between the feed lips in order to make the last couple of rounds feed properly. Polymer mags that aren't Bulgarian waffles don't have a good reputation, though I have heard some say that Magpul and US Palm mags aren't bad. Some even say the Tapco mags are okay as range mags that you'll plink around at the range with, but they cost the same as the real deal steel, so why do they exist?
>>29926808
well you could always take a tooth brush with a little CLP and brush at the area to see if it goes away.
>>29926862
I have krebs in both of mine. They fit great. Can't speak to tapco.
>>29926831
Tapco may are may not work also like magpul ones they can break the locking lugs off, but for some stuff like cheap 5.45 mags those are about your only option.
How much do O-PAPs usually go for now?
>>29926872
My korean drum wouldn't chamber. I had to chamber a round from another mag then put the korean one in, and it fed thereafter.
Any ideas for me?
>>29926862
Trick question.
The Red Star Arms retainer is the plate I've put in every one of my rifles.
It's spring steel, and locks onto the pins, unlike a lot of other retainer plates.
>>29926983
looks a lot like the Krebs version.. hmmm
>>29926872

I know bulgarian waffle mags are great, but how are these new production "bullet" mags by the bulgies?
>>29926187
It's not 100% drop in, it will require a little bit of fitting. I can't remember if the krebs safety I tried on my SGL12 needed any more fitting besides opening the gap for the thicker receiver. I took it out and used it on another gun.
>>29927001
They're very similar.
But the RSA is half the price of the krebs.
I'm just speaking on my experience with the Red Star, but I'm not sure if the cutout on the krebs allows the pins to be locked into the retainer and not just sitting in the cutout.
>>29927109
looks like they just sit in the cutout. I'll give the RSA a whirl then. Thanks for the tip.
>>29926808
Every time you heat the gun up, a little can come out. like cosmoline x 100.
But yeah, it just high pressure grease.
Been lurking for a few weeks now and just picked up this npap.
Can i join u guys?
>>29926872
Tapcos are only ok for calibers without huge amounts of cheap steel yuro mags, like 5.45 and 5.56.
>>29927124
You'll like it.
It makes detail stripping a breeze.
>And hey, 5 bucks saved is 5 bucks you can spend on other AK stuff.
What's the average price paid for a headspace adjustment for an AK that's found to have too much headspace (my AK closed on a no-go gauge recently).
I don't want to get raped by the smithy, guys.
>>29927153
Nice DF.
>Didn't think Aussies could have AKs.
You need some better mags, and probably better ammo though.
>>29927153
Sure, just drop the name till you have something to contribute.
>>29927196
>Just drop the name, period
Ftfy
>>29927213
Chimps, Zasta, and the VA guy contribute.
>>29927235
And Flanders but I haven't seen him recently
>>29927241
Yeah flandre disappeared.
>>29925892
Chimps, I know you said he stopped doing FFL stuff, but what's with the radio silence?
>>29925588
Are those surplus or US made handguards?
>>29927193
naw, North Carolina here
And i understand i need metal mags, but what's wrong with Tula? it's cheap af.
>>29927196
>>29927213
k.
>>29913909
You really need to get a spam can of 762x39 before the elections, Get more if you can afford it. If it looks like Hillary is going to win, I can promise the ammo shelves are going to be empty.
>>29927235
True.
But even those guys could contribute without tripfagging and it would still be the same info.
There's the beryl anon who contributes just fine anonymously, although his pics show who he is.
Haven't seen VAfag around lately, maybe he went back to anon.
I'm not ragging on trips either, just saying it's unnecessary.
>except for helping to find posts in the archive, maybe.
>>29927082
From what I've been told they lack steel reinforcements at the locking lugs so they're kind of mediocre. There are slab-side Bulgarian polymer magazines with steel inside the feed lips which are a little better, though.
>>29927292
Surplus I bought as a set with the PG from a guy in Ukraine
>>29927295
I was fucking with you, upside down pic and all.
Tula is dirty as fuck and inconsistently loaded.
GT is cheap too, as long as you buy by the case.
>Which you should be doing
Maybe pick up a set of Balkan handguards to give it a little war torn feel.
so are akm bakelite mags generally in the 30 dollar range or do they go for more?
>>29927266
According to some other anon, he does still have his FFL and will do builds. I thought he gave it up.
Flandre has posted less and less as time has gone on. I think he said he went and got a real job. Probably just doesn't have the time.
>>29927518
More.
>>29927518
Expect $140+ for museum grade
>>29927541
When he did my conversion about a year ago, he said he was basically winding down on builds a good bit because of school, work, and moving. It may be worth emailing him though as he may still be willing to do some on the side.
>>29927542
>>29927563
is 80 dollarydo for 2 izzy bakelites a price?
I've been thinking about buying an SLR-104 soon. Should I just wait till Arsenal unfucks their QC or play the lottery?
>>29927670
>tfw no hug and $5
>>29927694
Play the lottery safely.
Go into a LGS and take a good hard look at them. Don't let those faggots pressure you because THEY are busy. *thats why I got fucked with my SLR, I was trying to be polite*
Take your fucking time with it. Inspect each one carefully.
>>29927799
This
There are good rifles and there are lemons always inspect before accepting the gun
>pic related my 104
can AKs shoot sub moa?
>>29927799
>>29927840
Will do. Thanks.
>>29927986
Yes, but I wouldn't just assume any ak will. There's lots of potential if you shoot something that's not garbage wolf/bear/tula 762x39 ammo. But there's not a lot of shooters that can actually shoot moa whether their guns can or not.
My psl hovers just barely above/below moa if I do my part and use higher quality russian factory 188 surplus. But I can only keep that up for a short while till eye fatigue etc begins to set in.
>>29928069
can i build an AK with average parts and achieve sub moa? i did this with my AR and now want to get into the AK game
>>29926071
>set sight ladder to "2"
>set up target at 25m
>sight in rifle
>gun is g2g
For real the 25/200 battle sight is my favorite thing about 7.62x39. Easy af to sight in.
>>29926660
>legally
kek
You label them as boat parts, or model trains, or airshit and mail them to yourself.
How do you think that shit gets here in the first place? It doesn't just appear in the states magically.
>>29928110
This.
And disassemble mags and ship bodies and springs separately to be safe.
Parts don't constitute a whole.
>>29928140
Yeap. Some British guy has been shipping AK magazines to the states for years doing this. I just wish the shipping charges we're not so damn high.
>>29911777
Bump with more RWGŁ-3
I was hoping Rob would have the next Arsenal test video up by now. I wonder if hes sending it back because of the rust and no park.
>>29928671
Did they actually prove it wasn't parked ?
>>29928100
Explain to me how you build an AK
Protip: you don't just buy some parts from PSA and slap them together with nothing but a wrench in your bedroom
>>29928688
not sure. it sure didn't look like it was.
>>29928671
He said on AKfiles he was going to be gone all week and won't be able to continue shooting until the weekend.
>>29912008
It's called the pee-funnel break anon.
>>29928724
Judging how my AR turned out you normally don't do that with them either.
(read I should not make things)
>>29928740
well shit.
>>29928105
14m/300m sight setting works too, if you have to try to zero in a 50 foot indoor range.
>>29928105
How do I zero 5.45 if the only local shooting spot goes out to only 300 yards?
>>29913546
is that what I think it is? Is it double stack?
>>29928870
Basically the same. For weapons in 5.45mm, 250m battlesight setting = 25m. To confirm zero, at 100m (110 yards) set the rear sight to 400m and verify it groups 25cm (10") above point of aim. Now put the sight back to the battlesight setting and leave it alone.
That's how the Soviets did it.
I came
>>29928943
Single.
