>>30135826
Do bakelite 5.56 magazines exist?
They must right? Since the AK-101 and 102 exist.
>>30135911
yes and no. i don't believe there were ever any factory-made bakelite mags in 5.56, but the east germans converted 5.45 mags to accept and feed 5.56.
Are people incapable of having Eastern Bloc friends ship them cheap equipment?
>>30135826
Weren't most of the Beryls that came into the US assembled by I.O.?
>>30135911
>>30135951
Answering my own question I looked into it and Saiga has rare 30rd .223 magazines, which were essentially AK 101/102 magazines with a guide.
>>30136067
>mfw 80$ a pop
>>30135826
Who else /threehands/ here?
>>30136067
you asked about bakelite though.
while technically the east german 5.45 mags aren't bakelite, they're the closest you'll get.
>>30135911
No, the ak-101 and ak-102 were designed after the AK-74M. Russia switched completely to black polymer magazines by this time. There were never any factory made Bakelite magazines for the 100 series rifles.
>>30136006
I've got a couple of cool dudes in Hungary, Poland, and Serbia. The problem is the Form 6 process. I've been already caught twice in having unauthorized AOWs shipped to my address that were confiscated by customs, so I'd rather not get a felony. ATF puposely takes forever on Form 6s and will deny them for the most trivial reasons. Last time I heard a parts kit being denied, it was because they contained undemilled front trunnions from something COMPLETELY different from an AK.
Pic related is where they thought the trunnions were apart of.

What's the deal with the AK market right now?
Everyone is acting like they cost $500, and no one will offer anything but glocks to trade.
Did all of the American AK manufacturers kill the foreign AK market? I see C39's going for $500 almost daily.
>>30136091
Century "converted" some bakelites to .223. They allegedly re-profiled the interior and the feed lips. They did not, however, change the follower, so I can only load about 10 rds before they start fucking up.
Pic related on my slr106
>>30136150
that's because they shouldn't be sold for more than $500
>>30135826
The bump limit is 310, and we hit it every thread.
>Unless some retard makes the thread early.
>>30136150
Yes and no.
Yes, Century is reducing production of foreign AK builds simply to push their shitty American AKs on consumers since they get a higher dividend on the purchase.
No, the current geopolitical climate is hell. The Middle East is on fire, Ukraine is still relatively heated, and manufacturers are making guns to ship to other countries. They could give a rat's ass about cutting up a kit or making parts for the US if they can get more money selling complete pieces to nations at conflict.
>>30136163
anyone know anything about the VEPR-1V or VEPR-1V mini?
i literally cannot find anything useful about it on the webs
>>30136165
I don't agree with the prices either, but it is annoying that someone will offer a glock on retail value while ignoring that foreign AKs are more expensive.
I live in the US. How can I get myself an Ak107?
>>30136280
you cant
>>30136261
You know AKs are under global demand when a battle rifle is cheaper to acquire.

RPK sized ones in 5.56 with 23in barrels were briefly imported before the great Clanking messed up Russian imports. I've only seen a handful sell and it's always been in the 2500+ range because it's a 100% Russian AK.
>tfw Centerfire Systems sold them new for $999 but you didn't have the $ at the time.
Anyone know if recent m92 or npaps are decent? I heard their quality suffered awhile ago
>>30136371
im european, so im not hindered by import restrictions of the US, and im looking for an AK
main choices for me are Arsenal SAR-M1s, VEPR, VEPR-1V or a non sporterized saiga
>>30136261
>>30136165
>>30136150
Its just the market change
American makers are producing rifles of equal or lower quality than Wasr-10s and charging 300 dollars more for the "made in america" label on it.
So foreign makers see then and charge more to make more money since the market has now shifted.
Soon AKs will be a specialty gun for no less than 800 bucks (if hillary doesnt get in that is)
Suck it up and buy one now.
>>30136257
I have a 1v, very nice rifle. Typical vepr quality.
But... I'd just get the mini and use it exactly as is on your picture if you want an actually useful gun and not just a range toy. RPKs are cool and all, but they're too heavy and not all that practical otherwise.
I guess it boils down to whether you want something practical above all else, or just a really cool toy.
>>30136371
Too bad, the 1v was one of the few impulse buys I've made in my life and I'm glad I did. They disappeared overnight and doubled in price shortly after.
>>30136464
B-but I was wanting to trade for something cool.
Guess I'll have to wait a few years.
>>30136118
" I've been already caught twice in having unauthorized AOWs shipped to my address that were confiscated by customs"
Story?
>>30136464
>So foreign makers see then and charge more to make more money since the market has now shifted.
Not exactly.
Century can't make their shit rifles for cheap like RomArm can, so they jacked up the price to make their rifles seem better.
In reality, they still get WASRs from Romania for ~$350 or less.
>>30135845
Flecks you say?
>>30136475
>RPKs are cool and all, but they're too heavy and not all that practical otherwise.
according to a german site, the Saiga 223 and the VEPR 1V have the same weight, 3,8kg
Do you know what mags are compatible with the 1V? Do they take Beryl mags? What about handguard and stock compatibility (as the 1V doesnt have a slant end like the normal VEPRs)?
What differences besides the thicker receiver and thicker barrel are there even, compared to a Saiga for instance?

>>30136493
What more is there to say?
I get my Polish contact to get me a couple of Beryl mags. It gets snatched by customs, and I get a nasty letter along. Lost $100 and 5 Beryl mags.
Happened again when I tried getting a significant amount of steel Tantal magazine in too. Needless to say, don't get shit shipped from Poland that doesn't have a Form 6.
>>30136769
You don't carry cold hard cash?
Will Romanian drums go up in price if Clinton is elected, or are there too many of them out there?
>>30136165

I meant to say
>>30136704
>according to a german site, the Saiga 223 and the VEPR 1V have the same weight, 3,8kg
I don't see how that could possibly be true with the rpk version.
With the rpk, you are adding on 7" of barrel that's thicker than any of my 30cal rifles, and a bipod at the front which makes it more front heavy on top of that, worse yet if you have the bipod folded out while shooting from a standing position.
>Do you know what mags are compatible with the 1V?
Not very well other than the official molot 45rd and 30rd promags it came with. Bulgarians will NOT fit unless you file down the mag catch, I know that much. IIRC, I heard beryl mags fit fine, but don't take my word 100%.
>What differences besides the thicker receiver and thicker barrel
Other than the obvious cosmetic differences like different furniture, IDK that they're so much different. I could take out the bolt/carrier and slap it right into my bulgarian ak-74 if I wanted to.
>>30136952
The RAS47 is garbage, along with most of what Century makes. But the C39's pretty great. About 5k rounds through it so far.
>>30136937
>has never held one
>has never fired one
>will never hold or fire one
>just because it's Century
Like I said, I understand the apprehension because it IS Century, but it's really a great gat. Look at the online reviews. They're unanimously good.
>>30136103
>>30136091
My apologies for the confusion, I meant 5.56/.223 magazines in the 101/102 style.
On another note, what are the best 30 round 5.56 AK mags?
>>30136670
>Need more fleck
>>30137067
sorry, i forgot to add that i meant the 1V mini
also, would you rather go for a VEPR (1V mini), a Saiga, or a bulgy Arsenal SAR M1? Im talking about the .223 versions here.
>>30137117
Their WASR is pretty good. Granted they didn't make most of it, but its still good.
>>30137288
Yeah, WASRs are pretty good too. Century is still awful with most of what they make, especially their ticking time bomb rifles, like the RAS.

>>30137662

>>30136814
>Lost $100 and 5 Beryl mags.
You got robbed then.
It's perfectly legal to import mags for personal use as long as it's less than $100 in wholesale value.
From someone else worried about importing mags:
>The process included me taking the cautionary step of corresponding with BATFE, and politely asking how we do this, especially if we break down the mags into a package of mag bodies and mag springs/hardware. Written answer to me was that no Form 6 is necessary if the wholesale value of the package is less than $100 and that the importation is for personal use, and not intended for immediate resale
>>30137682
have some more ;)
>>30137751
come on, i came here to look at ultra sex AK-101 and AK-104ish rifles, not to get eye cancer from valmet shovel stocks
>>30137666

>>30137803

>>30137864

>>30136150
>What's the deal with the AK market right now?
There are plenty of buyers in countries where these rifles are needed to kill people instead of paper, and those buyers are playing with government (both national and foreign) money, money civilian importers don't have.
It's business, nothing more.
>>30137910
füg, i meant AK-107s originally
104s are sick too though
Will a .22/5.56 bore snake work for a 5.45?
>>30137254
Tough choice, not sure I can answer that for you.
For me, I'd definitely go between the 1v mini or the SAR. If your imported saigas actually come with all the ak-74 style trimmings like the SAR, then I'd have 0 issue with that too. I know euros can often get saigas like that even though we're stuck with butchered sporter saigas in the US.
I think the 1v mini is easily the toughest gun among them, but you'll never push it hard enough to matter. I value weight savings above something like that. And I'm sortof a sucker for the normal ak-74 looks with a 556 mag hanging out.
>>30137969
is nothing good enough for you?

Alright, /akg/, onegun here. I am planning to build my armory in these next couple of years. I have a 'Five Gun Plan', and after I get a Colt™ brand AR-15®, I plan on getting an AK sometime after that. Right now I was looking at the Arsenal SAM7SF, but I have a question or two (and I better be getting some bacon for these).
What's up with the cleaning rod? I hear it comes with a shortened rod due to the way the stock latch spring needs some hand guard room, and that the stock might unlatch if you shove it in too far. Is this true?
Also, some YT review said that there is no bayonet lug, but when I looked this up I got conflicting reports. Can someone tell me if you can attach one of those Arsenal bayonets?
since we all talk about bakelite mags.....will the izhmash mags without metal reinforced feed lips still be good enough for shtf?
Since they are 15€ a pop i realy consider to pic some more up.

>Are they flat back, or ridge back?
Hi, I was wondering if someone could walk me through the sbr process of the slr-107ur. I'm not talking paperwork-wise (I've done SBR's before), but physically.
I emailed my gunsmith and asked him:
>Could I get the barrel cut down, crowned, threaded, and the gas restrictor removed?
and he said:
>You will need the Krink front sight block that is threaded for the booster
What does this mean? halp. Also where do I engrave it?
>>30143361
hey, thanks!
They are ridge backs, all of them.
Even if one of the three i recieved seems to be gen 2.
How shitty are venom tactical gasblock combo? I want to replace my canted sight and gasblock and VT combo looks like it can lighten my load while looking cool as well.
>>30136150
It's dependent entirely on what the manufacturer of your rifle is. If that's your rifle in the picture, which it probably is, then I'd assume it's a WASR, and if that's the case then don't expect anyone to offer any more than $500 because honestly it's not worth that.
The resale market for firearms has always been notoriously shit. I've had people offer Taurus Judges and other low-quality handguns for my AR before, simply because they believe their firearm is more valuable than it actually is. You're not going to sell a used weapon for anywhere near what you paid for it.
>>30136261
>Actually believing that WASRs are worth $720
Holy fuck dude, you're the type of guy who walks onto a car lot and buys something for the sticker price, aren't you? The WASR was a $400-$500 rifle a year or two ago and that's all it'll ever be to anyone. You can get QC inspected WASRs for $650 new on Atlantic or you can buy a used on for well below that if you haggle, but nobody is going to buy your used WASR for $500.
>>30136295
Somehow I doubt it's demand. A lot of it has to do with Century blowing air up their own ass and inflating the price of their WASRs so you buy their American made AKs because they're cheaper. Everyone knows that already, which is why nobody will pay $500 for a used WASR.

It's a difficult thing to try and nail down when they started/stopped reinforcing bakes between the Tula and Izhmash factories.
In theory, the mags you have, they're all Gen 2s (ridgeback and not reinforced)
I'm sure there was some crossover, between 2nd and 3rd gen.
But don't worry too much about the feedlips breaking on AG-S4 mags unless you dive to prone and land on the mag.
Repetitively.

I dont think he knows what a "ur" is. That is the process for a standard rifle. Also what is the serial number pre fix? The new ones have a restrictor(104's as well) that need to be drilled out of the gas block.

So.. I posted this on /brg/ and was told to fuck off over here. Which makes sense.
Thinking of doing a Vepr build. Ideally in x39. Any thought on the aftermarket parts, or the rifle in general? I don't know much about the x39. Is modding a 16" Vepr even worth it?
Thoughts, comments, vicious attacks?
>>30146081
In my mind no. These heavily converted civilian imports are pathetic and are just bullet shooters.
AKs in America are dead, save the tailings of Bulgarian imports that barely qualify these days.
But if you must buy a new production rifle I suppose they are acceptable over nothing
>>30146081
I had a Vepr and converted it. I liked the rifle but after shooting an SLR I sold my vepr and bought an SLR107fr. It was everything I wanted without me having to do any work to it and it's just as accurate as the vepr but is lighter.
>>30146081

FUCK THAT MAG CURVE GIVES ME A BONER, WHY DOES THE 7.62 produce such a sexy mag. Im a noguns isn't the 7.62 obsolete?
>>30146742
>WHY DOES THE 7.62 produce such a sexy mag
because of the cartridge shape
>>30146742
7.62x39 still does as designed. Hard hitting close quarters cartridge. SBR, good ammo, folding stock, good brake, dot sight, shortest reset trigger you can find. That's one mean PDW faggots
>>30146784
Well obviously, i was wondering how the curve of the mag can be so sexy. But i guess i phrased it wrong. Anyway isn't the cartridge obsolete? Didn't they change to the 5.45? Why bring it back?
>>30146742
7.62x39 is still fine, great barrier penetration.
Militants worldwide still use it to relatively good effect.
>>30136090
Holy shit eat some food Skeletor.

Thanks for the answers.

Allow me to disagree, I think the 545, 556, 54r, and 12ga mags look best in an ak.
762x39's huge curve is ugly as hell IMO, I also find the completely straight 308 mags kindof ugly in an ak at least.
>>30147369
AK103s, waffles, steel, look stronk to me
>>30147469
waffles, eh?

>>30147950
sadly no
I'm about to trigger /akg/
RAS 47, has about 2200ish rounds currently.
Like everyone says, even those who scream about it melting inside of itself, It' shoots very accurately, and very well, and runs reliably. Not one failure on this rifle so far.
I'm going to keep shooting it until it's either not safe anymore or fails, and from current experience with it, that wont be any time soon.
I'm going to post a couple of pictures of the internals from about 1700ish rounds. This is why some who have them don't understand why people go in to autistic fits of rage when they see one.
That being said, quality control is Russian roulette, with 4 loaded, 2 empty. I still don't recommend buying one of these new. If a buddy of yours panic sells one because he saw the Rob videos and dumps it off cheap despite not having the wear to warrant such a reaction, it very well may be worth it.
>>30148225
Mostly just worn finish here, looks absolutely nothing like even Rob's 500 round check.
Somewhere around 1700 rounds give or take 100, I don't exactly checklist my ammo, I just load my mags and go
>>30148261
I was concerned because this dent happened within the first 500 or so rounds, but since then hasn't really progressed and as long as it doesn't progress, isn't a big deal at all.
Just a little insight from someone who actually has one, as opposed to the ass load of people who all watched the same youtube videos and screaming these rifles literally explode after 10 rounds.
If Century gets their shit together on the quality control and steps of their metal, we could potentially have a great rifle on our hands. Avoid the Ras 47 as it is, but don't be so quick to turn a blind eye when we see the inevitable Ras 47 2.
Kalinka Optics says their mounts are "AK/SVD Universal Mounts"
But do they actually fit SVD rails?
>>30148225
I like my RAS.
>>30148261
>>30148300
>2200
Bullshit, that rifle has less than 500 rounds through it. Centuryfags are hilarious.
>>30135894
>polymer receiver
hmmm....
>>30148344
Will you still like it when it detonates.
>>30148344
good that you do, but it looks more toy than my actual toy AK
>>30148344
That wood looks like you carry it loose in the back of a pickup, what kind of shooting are you doing with it?
>>30148363
No one said that picture was taken at 2200 rounds. I said the rifle has 2200. Though it doesn't look much different since I use a gun back and don't drag it across gravel like apparently most AK users seem to do for whatever reason.
>>30148418
A gun *bag, even
>>30148418
Yes, because dragging in gravel affects the hardness of the internals. Century fags/ james yeager are hilarious.
>>30148418
I have been avidly beating the shit out of it. Opr8r reloads with steel mags are Fucking up the handguard royally. And I'm enjoying that fact. I clean it a lot and the carbon fouling seems to like to get into cracks in the finish. Probably close to 2000 rounds.
>>30143425
Pls respond
>>30148418
It doesn't even have 1700 in those pictures. You're a lying sack of shit.
It's looking a little better
>imo
>>30136295
BGS still has WASR's for $600
Has anyone here ordered a WASR from Buds?
Should I buy a WASR 10 or VEPR?
>>30135894
>is this the AK final form
No
>>30141991
Probably, show stamps
>>30141991
>>30149709
Could be new manufacture Barnaul
>>30149736
Doubtful if it came in a can. Again he just needs to post the ass end of the case for the headstamps
>>30149845
>Doubtful if it came in a can.
I'm looking at my can of new manufacture Barnaul from SGAmmo right meow, so it's very possible.
Also
http://www.sgammo.com/product/545x39-ammo/1080-round-spam-can-545x39-fmj-60-grain-lacquered-case-and-sealant-new-productio
But yeah, headstamps should answer the question.
I'll post an announcement in the next thread too, but for those who ordered only plum 5.45 30 round mags and/or 5.45 rpk bakes.
IF YOU DO NOT PAY BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVE I WILL SELL THEM TO SOMEONE ELSE
Because the second half of the payment is due when they arrive. I'll send out reminder emails as well soon
>>30149969
Fug.
Forgot the trip again
I know it's not exactly an AK or anything but this is the best thread for it I guess, but anyways I was lookin into a getting a Galil/R4. I don't know what's the best option or what I should look for exactly or what would be a decent price. Any help would be appreciated.
Still trying to figure out why my stock WASR is more accurately at my Dad's $3000 AR at 300 yards. Maybe it's my aim. Maybe it's maybeline.
>>30149891
Oh fuck, I didn't see that.
>>30149845
It's head stamp 17 86 I believe it is Barnaul and it's definitely corrosive
>rusty gas tube lol
>>30150224
It wouldn't be corrosive if it's new production surplus you faggot
>>30150245
It's not new production you fuck I never said it was
>>30150273
>>30150245
Fuck, I meant new production/commerical not surplus.
>>30150298
I'll just take pics of the headstamp when I get home from testing my Saiga
>>30144351
>>30145810
What is that on the stock?
Should I sell my SGL31-61 and buy an SBR'd AK? I really like the SGL, but I know I wouldn't shoot it much if I got another AK.
>>30137910
I want an AK-104 clone with an AKS-74 style triangle folder sooooooo fucking bad, but poorfag = no sbr anytime soon
>>30150314
Which one is it more like?
>>30150436
It's worth holding onto even if you don't shoot it faggot.
>>30150443
I want an AKM gold with laminated black wood.
>>30150447
Right
Well my Saiga basically full retard and then this happened
>>30150700
The stuff on the right is 7n6. Also that looks like the primer was fucked before firing
>>30150759
Coo that's what I was hoping everything else went off fine.
>>30150443
I did this. The triangle didn't look that great, at least with the zenitco handguard.
>>30150875
>samefag
I think the lightness of the triangle compliments wood handguards. Oh well, it was a thing.
OK, I need some bacon.
I recently bought bought my first AK, a WASR, and I picked up an extra magazine, the orange Tapco Intrafuse. It totally sucks.
>harder to load than the pmag
>really tight fit into the mag well
Besides PMags (such as the black one that came with the rifle), what are the good aftermarket magazines.
ALSO, It's got the side-mount for the scope rail, so what's the best brand/model?
Is it worth it to buy an AK-74 style muzzle brake?
>>30151162
Get surplus mags
>>30151162
metal surplus is mags are god tier. if plastic fantastic is your preference, pick up some bulgy waffles
>>30151162
>Is it worth it to buy an AK-74 style muzzle brake?
Not unless it's done right you faggot.
>wake up
>SVD's are still banned from import
kill me.
Also, how often should you clean / lube up your guns when just in storage?
>>30149969
My mouth is watering. Cannot wait dude.
