Old thread here >>30233494
Sent in my beat up EOtech for a refund and just dropped the $540 I got from them on three of these: http://www.sgammo.com/product/545x39-ammo/750-round-case-545x39-60-grain-fmj-mil-spec-ammo-lacquer-and-sealant-wolf-perfor

Nice, I just shot through 1000 round of that and only 1 bad bullet.
>pic related
Wow, that loks both cool as fuck and disgusting at the same time.
>>30257757
I'd say that was a good choice.
>>30257802
how was the accuracy? and did the primer blow out, or was it like that?
>>30257808
you belong in the >>>/trash/
Say is that a ROM vertigrip? Cus it looks like a WASR-10.
>>30257802
Huh, I wonder if that should be expected from 1/1000 rounds or if you were just considerably unlucky and got a really bad round.
>>30257808
It was either this or Silver Bear, and this was two cents less a round so I went with it. I have some experience with Silver Bear but not with this so I figured I'd give it a shot considering how much praise it gets.
>>30257731
Will I be able to replace the recoil spring in a mak 90 with any old recoil spring for that caliber?
t. Someone who knows almost nothing about AK's
>>30257869
>It looks like a WASR 10
Are you retarded?
>>30257847
Glad to hear.
>>30257872
From what I understand, the only steel case to steer clear of is Tula, and even then I know about that for ARs. For all I know, AKs don't suffer the same problem as ARs using Tula.
>>30257847
Decent accuracy, shoots really well. That red sealent get everywhere tho.
Going to buy more of it here real soon
>>30257890
Also, what would be sufficient at removing fire retardant from the receiver.
Don't ask why
>CLP wasn't strong enough
>>30257937
From what I here mak 90 take standard length ak spring. What is it chambered in ?
>>30257962
*akm
Why shouldn't I buy one? If you don't tell me I swear to God, /k/ I'll buy it.
>>30257962
7.62 x 39
>>30257996
Any standard akm spring will work.
>>30258009
Fabulous. Thanks m80
What all is involved in changing out a trigger and mag release?
>>30257986
Read and watch some reviews on the c39v2 and you'll see why
>>30258020
Trigger should come out with the removal of that wire clip. Why do you need the change the mag release ?
Real talk, what do these do?
http://www.apexgunparts.com/barrel-alignment-jig-for-ak74-rifles-new-requiem-arms.html
I'm looking at building a Bulgy AK-74 and I can't figure out if this would be helpful or not. Is it just an alignment tool or can you press the parts with it?
>>30258033
Weak spring
Also, is link related correct?
http://www.apexgunparts.com/east-german-akm-recoil-spring-assembly.html
It says East German but I just typed "akm recoil spring" into google and got that
>>30257986
If you want an RPK don't get a hideous abortion with questionable quality. Pretty sure you can still get Romanian ones for not much more on gunbroker.
>>30258042
That will most likely work . I would put the spring on you original assembly.
>>30258069
Alright. The assembly looks OK so I will try that
>>30258076
If you can find just the spring it would be cheaper. You do not really need the rest of it.
>>30258094
Alright, I'll try that. Thanks m8

Meh/10 I don't really care for the Magpul but I'm sure it functions
>>30258148
Did you watch this it might help
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EZpbXKvb2ZY
>>30258149
I know most ppl here don't care for magpul, but I like it over wood because I'm not an ak purist, sue me. If money wasn't a factor I'd put a zennit rail system on it but I don't have 350$ to blow on that shit. I still need more ammo.
>>30258166
I already watched that half a dozen times and they don't actually talk about how it works and there's no other info out there that I can find.
>>30258177
You could just put Bulgarian black polymer ?
>>30258149
And yea it's an rs mount
>>30258186
It aligns the gas block and sight block I'm pretty sure it's for pinning the gas\sight block
From thier website
Align the front sight, gas block and rear sight on your AK PERFECTLY, everytime!
Whether you're a pro builder or a home builder, our patented AK Alignment jig is a must.
Even works on guns that all the parts are already installed-simply drive out the retaining pins, slap on the AK Alignment Jig, realign the parts that are canted, redrill and repin and you're done!
>>30258187
I could but honestly I don't care for it. It's my home defense rifle as well so I'm gonna put a light on it which the magpul mlok will let me do, just haven't gotten around to It yet. It's more of a functional gun than a beauty, down the road I wanna grab a deffinative arms dakm 4150 when money is avaliable and if firearms are still avaliable. Plan on leaving that in some nice wood.
>>30258239
Have you thought of doing the RD m4 adapter? I've shot a wasr with one they work quite well and give you a nice range of stock options.
>>30258259
I have but honestly I want to put a zhukov (it's a boot i know) on it to take advantage of the ak's ability to side fold over the ar, the bulgy side folder folds left so that's not an option for me cuz it'll get in the way of my rs mount. I wanna buy alot of shit for that gun but I'm broke and need to buy ammo before it's all bought up.
>>30258208
ak302>ak301
>>30258291
Wise investment. I had the Zhukov on my m70 it was Decent.
>>30258293
NEVERRRRRRRRRRRR
Naw kidding, I prefer the over the magwell mount for red dots. If I were to put a 4x prism scope from PA on my ak I would do the rear biased mount tho. Nice set up tho
>>30258293
Sweet, I also like that the Zhukov Will do the cheek riser for a perfect cheek weld when looking thru the red dot. Only qualm is I know that a metal side folder would never break whereas the Zhukov Will snap rather easily if in the folded position. That being said I don't plan on running over it in a truck (akou). Also the metal folder is heavier.
>>30258339
>>30258339
Thanks, I also got a black US palm grip for it after I took the picture. I honestly wish I got an ak303 mount but my PA microdot and the mount were cheaper as a bundle. Now I am stuck with either a short scope or a red dot.
>>30258362
For me, the regular stock does just fine. The only thing i would consider getting a cheek riser for would be a PSO scope or and obzor.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a zoomed 5,45 calibrated optic that would fit an rs regulate 302 mount?
>>30258371
I think the 5.45 flies about as flat as a 5.56 so any optic calibrated for that should work for a 5.45. But that's really just a guess, I don't think the 5.45 is popular enough in America for western optic companies to make a caliber calibrated optic for it
>>30258371
Yea here they lump it in with the 5.56 and .308
http://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-16x-scope-with-patented-acss-556-545-308-reticle-advanced-combined-sighting-system-paps16x-eta-late-aprilmay-2016/p/paps1-6x/
>>30258371
Now idk if PA zoomed optics are up to your standards but ppl seem to like em. Good grief I gotta lay off the adderall.
>>30258387
Looks a bit big/long. I was thinking more on the lines of a compact fixed mag scope, more like an acog.
>>30258378
I think the 5.45 i use flies at about 2850 fps (wolf 69gr)>>30258378
>>30258398
considering I have a PA red dot I am 100% satisfied with, I assume their zoomed optics are held to the same quality?
>>30258215
Again you have no idea what the problem is do you? The problem is that it doesn't give you room to press the parts on with the jig UNLESS you press on the jig to press on the components. Jesus fuck, I hate fucking tripfags that don't know what they're talking about.
>>30258413
I assume they're great quality as well, these are out of stock currently but since they use the same reticle as the other scope I linked even tho it says "5.56 3x optic" it should work with your 5.45. I originally looked at this one for the 7.62x39 when going to put an optic on my wasr but realistically I'll never be shooting enmes beyond 150yds so I went with the red dot

Does anyone know any affordable AK builders? I have nowhere to keep the tooling
>>30257986
If you're really set on an RPK kind of thing, get an O-PAP, they're built on RPK receivers and bulged trunnions.
You're not missing much with the shorter barrel and regular stock.
>>30258435
How would you press the jig off? My point was that it's not a jig for pressing the barrel components on its for aligning them for pinning.

>>30258527
>Would you recommend the Obzor?
Depends on what you want with your rifle. Do you want a more aesthetically pleasing and more fitting optic to go with the rifle but that is still more than adequate? Do you have an interest in Slavshit? Then yes. Do you want the best and will you regret dropping $400+ on something if it isn't the best? Then no, buy an Aimpoint.
>What's its biggest advantage
No batteries, I love the reticule, just all around really weird yet still very functional and a real head turner whenever anyone sees it. I personally really like it and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
>and drawback
Weight, height over bore means chinweld (which I don't mind at all once I got used to it), expensive for what it is (At least now as they used to be cheaper only a few months ago, $400+ is Aimpoint PRO territory which will be the better optic), if something were to go wrong you're pretty stuck with an expensive and ugly paperweight.

Is the 7.62x39 better than the 5.56 NATO? Is it true that the 5.56 was made to only wound?

>>30260562
Because it came with a thread cap as opposed to a slant style, I bought that break like three years ago when I got the gun and I guess I just liked the contrast to the slant style on my wasr and vz. My SA-M7 has a terrible looking muzzle brake but it's welded on, so that one is for another time.
>>30260619
Ah I see, mine was a piece of shit brake so I guess I'm biased. Slant brake would look nice and it's not like you can't just swap it out .
>>30260619
>My SA-M7 has a terrible looking muzzle brake but it's welded on, so that one is for another time.
If it's just tackwelded, just get a rasp and fucking file the thing off.
Bought my first rifle 4 days ago. Thinking of re-finishing the furniture to be a more cherry-red color. How'd I do for my first AK? I'm loving it but I would like to hear opinions. Also the "cheek-slap" isn't nearly as bad as everyone has been telling me about.
Hey VA, how much are those 40rnder 7.62's? Are they Bakelite?
>>30260777
N-PAPs are fine, especially with the new stocks they're putting on them. Refinishing the wood would be fine but a cherry red will look tacky.

I want plum furniture :( Black looks too plain.
Or should I get a set of original Bulgarian wood?
>>30261516
I personally recommend Bulgarian wood but that's just my taste. I think plum looks pretty fucking ugly. Just something about that shade of purple really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
>>30261516
I'm going with plum for my Saiga but it's really a matter of opinion. Wood looks nice too.

>>30261643
I have 4 Bulgarian firebrick red mags, 1 Izhmash AK74M black mag (in the pic) and getting 2+1 plum mags (2 Tula, 1 Izh.) next week.
Not sure whether black poly, plum poly, or Bulg. wood would look the best for using these different mags, being the autist I am about looks.
Used to sport OD green furniture but I replaced that eyesore some time ago.
I'm kinda leaning towards plum furniture, but no idea how that would look together with the firebrick red and black mag..

That's a pretty decent price for those Chink guns, even the MAK-90's. Is it a square back?
>>30262759
I think so
>>30262855
You lucked out. Take off the stock to double check though. Anyway, I'd literally let someone punch me in the face as hard as they could if I could get a squareback MAK-90 for sub WASR prices.

what's the deal with AK "kits" where they send you all the metal parts + an incomplete receiver that you do the last fabrication step on to make it functional?
are these a good way to get an AK in the US?
if so, which kit is the one to get?

>>30263076

>>30263219
I believe you mean AK parts kits. Also it's not just a little bit of fabrication, and its definitely not assembly. It's a much more complicated and tool intensive process than you're ready for
>>30263821
I literally would as long as you're clean and I had the rifle in my possession before I started going at it. I'd fucking suck you off for hours bro, however you would have to give me a discount.
So I just got myself an AK63D today after ages of being noak (closest I owned was a vz 58).
did I do gud?
>>30263835
well, I have a full machine shop available and I design and prototype complex parts everyday as part of my job. I'm just not too familiar with gun minutiae.
Buy some plate carrier while you guys are at it!

If you decide to buy the plates and the carrier rigs separately then I recommend purchasing the lvl 3+ plates insetad of just the 3's. They stop armor piercing rounds up to 30-06 caliber for only like $10 more a plate!! For obvious reasons don't buy any plates lower than lvl 3's.....

RD sucks and jim fuller is a little bitch.
>>30264014
You'll have to build about five or six jigs for different shit, plus buy some gauges and do a lot of reading.
>>30264014
You would probably be able to put one together then. You'll need a hydraulic press, I assume you have one of these. You'll need jigs to smash the rivets, which you could probably fabricate yourself. You can't just use snap rivets, sorry. It's a pretty work intensive process that you can fuck up if you're not careful, and either the AK won't work or it will beat itself apart. Watch YouTube videos and good luck to you
Does anyone here have a DDI ak74? I've heard conflicting reports over their quality and would like to know if they are worth buying.
>>30260056
You really think having a 1.5mm receiver automatically makes it an rpk? An rpk thick receiver alone doesn't even begin to make it an rpk on it's own.
>>30257986
IDK why they can't put out the bit of extra effort to recreate an rpk look with the bi-pod. Also, include a cleaning rod for fuck sake if you are going through the effort to pin an extra cleaning rod guide onto the barrel.
>>30260532
It fills the role, but still is missing some key rpk features.
>>30264774
an additional $250 gets you an imported Arsenal with folding stock and CHF barrel.
DDI is GTG though for a range toy.
>>30260056
>You're not missing much with the shorter barrel and regular stock.
And I will agree there. RPKs are a novelty and a toy, not all that handy otherwise. I'd argue their FAR less handy than a regular weight/size 1mm thick stamped ak in the same caliber. Too heavy for very little extra practical benefit.

in a straight trade? i'd do it. npap plus money for the wasr? forget it.
>>30265678
It looks like the right front sight lea isn't making contact so you have a wee bit of cant. Not too bad though an it could still just be the angle.
>>30265749
Went back and did it again. It's a combination of the angle and the front sight. The sight is level on the table but the right hand portion is slightly thiner at the top and makes it look like its not touching.
How common are canted sights anway? Never really been into AKs.
>>30265819
>How common are canted sights anway? Never really been into AKs.
WASRs tend to have the most canted sights but they can be found on examples of pretty much every AK out there.

Any type of issues to look for when I get it? From my understanding the build quality is a lottery. Some good, some meh, and others absolute shit.
>>30267311
Canted sights mostly, atlantic apparantly has a qc process for them, so take that as you will.
>>30266942
>Russian engravings/stampings/labeling
Prepare your asshole, because you'd be looking at $1k or so to get one built.

>>30267933
Eh, it's a preference not a requirement. I want to pretend it's authentic. I'll save the big bucks for the AR.
>>30267482
That's an easy fix, even for a noob.
>>30268117
I mean the Russian AK parts kits alone around $500+ depending on what you need, then another $200 for a good barrel, another $100 for the receiver, and then $400-500 to get it built or buy the tools to build it yourself.
>>30268130
Yeah, most of the problems you're going to see are an easy fix. You can't get away with selling rifles where the headspacing is fucked or something like a cracked trunnion.
>>30268199
>You can't get away with selling rifles where the headspacing is fucked or something like a cracked trunnion.
But you can get away with selling exploding rifles, see: RAS-47 and everything IO Inc makes.
Thoughts?

I wouldn't personally. For $3-400 more you could get an arsenal.
>>30268457
>For $3-400 more you can buy a rifle with a worse finish and trigger but hey it has a side folding stock.
>>30268511
not >>30268457
but dude bulgarian barrel > usa barrel
>>30268526
Is there a noticeable difference in accuracy?
No there is not they are both 2-4 moa rifles.
>>30268601
>says they guns are the same in accuracy
>only reason to spend more is for better accuracy
>still thinks its worth $500 more for the same thing.
Arsenal fans, trying to justify their AKs costing over well over $1000
Love mug Arsenal
>>30268684
Fug now I want Pelmeni.....take so long to make by hand though
I'm one of the minority of people who actually like the Arsenal two stage triggers, but I absolutely hate the reset and although I really like the mock two stage pull I'm thinking about changing it up.
I'm on the fence if I want to just file down the ridge, install a G2, or go all out for an AKT. Anyone have any recommendations?
>>30268872
Got AKT and save the Arsenal for if you ever do an AK buid
>>30268872
Just get a AKT.
>>30268684
Dat krink
>tfw my father used to have an AKM with folding stock, mountain engravings, and leaf sight for grenade launcher.
And he sold it years ago, sadly. I would've loved to own that beauty myself, and I don't even have amy pics of it.
>>30258049
You won't find a Romanian or AES10B for under 1-1.3 grand anymore. They used to go for $600.
>>30268957
No star though ;(
I just ordered one of these and plan to put a dynacomp on it how'd I do?

>>30269084
I like my pretty purple tula star, hey email me if you're looking for a kit you know my email. Also do you know if the Sam7 krink block poly handguards fit stamped krinks? My dads looking for a black set of handguards and id rather have him not paint the wood, the ribbed ones look ok but looking for options.
>>30269903
Shit don't say that I don't need to spend money......
From the looks of this thread the handguards on the sam7k have a slightly thinner tab on the back (because milled receiver) but you could probably add a little epoxy and sand it down to widen the plastic lug.
http://www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144753&page=2
Or just buy some plastic 104ur handguards

Little skeptical though
Just got my dong stock set in. Its out in my car sweating cosmoline right now. What would be the best way to refinish it? Should I use shellac, BLO, LO, Poly...?

new RPK

>>30271650
1/3 Boiled Linseed Oil or Tung Oil, 1/3 thinner (mineral spirits, paint thinner, turpentine, naptha), and 1/3 varnish (poly, spar, etc..) would be a good starting reference
>>30272868
Looks like shit desu. What does it offer over the RPK/RPK74 beyond a legendarily shit stock and muh tactical railz.
Just look at the stock and bipod, stock doesn't even fold.
>>30273018
>Just look at the stock and bipod, stock doesn't even fold.
it fold, do you even know about foldstock rear trunnion? the stock is the same stock as the new AK-74M and the AK-400
and the bipod is adjustable
pic is the old RPK203
>dad bought gun he calls an sks for 1000
>see it for first time, its a WASR 10/63, desecrated by tapco and multiple lasers/lights
I want to buy it and save it but a WASR isn't worth 1k.
>>30273646
>want to buy it and save it but a WASR isn't worth 1k.
Dont.
It's a wasr. It's like a generic car with only the basic features, 1000 of them could go to the crusher and nobody would give a shit because it's just mass produced product.
>>30273704
If I had a lot of money I would but I'm just building an AR instead since I'm poor.
So are 2016 NPAPs good guns these days?
>>30273791
They're pretty great from what I've seen / heard of them.
How hard would it be to take a vepr and put AKM-style furniture on it instead of the sporterized stuff it comes with? Seriously considering this due to the good reputation for veprs.
>>30273791
Definitely the goto budget AK if youre not into a WASR.
Special snowflake furniture can be annoying tho
>>30274161
The pistol grip and stock would be a drop in conversion, except the stock won't fit quite right because most Veprs have a slant cut receiver for some retarded reason. It will still fit, but a section of the stock that is supposed to be buried in the receiver will be exposed. You can buy an adapter to fill the gap but some people just use them without.
For the upper handguard you'll have to buy a new gas tube, as the Vepr gas tube doesn't have the brackets for the upper handguard. You need a handguard retainer for the lower handguard, you can buy aftermarket ones that bolt on to the barrel.
What is /akg/ opinion on the SKS. I am a jew and was thinking about picking up a Yugo SKS. How reliable are they, how well do they do in regards to accuracy, and what is the availability of spare parts? On the fence on either the SKS or a WASR 10 from Atlantic. Getting the SKS will save me nearly $250. Plus I think the SKS is pretty neat and simple.
>>30274623
WASR.
>>30274623
They're great rifles. Accuracy wise, I feel like it's easier to shoot accurately than a 16" gun because of the longer sight radius.
And you'll never need spare parts most likely, maybe get a spare recoil spring, piston spring, and firing pin if you're paranoid.
>>30265006
Dipshit tripfag can't reveal his "secret source" or what?
>>30276115
The fuck you want? The source is me right here.
>>30273791
Much nicer then wasrs.
>>30276115
>being this new
VAfag is one of the few tripfags that actually contributes shit to the board.
>>30274500
Any of this bolt on retainers work well ?
>Thinking of using one on my Saiga
>>30257731
AMD 65 a shit? Anyone?
>>30276492
Wouldn't know I've never used one
Seems shitty though, because with a regular retainer you can take your LHG off with the throw of a lever, but you have to use a screwdriver to take it off with a bolt on retainer. It's a compromise, I recommend doing a full front end conversion and paying someone to do it if you can't yourself. It's worth it.
>>30277122
Thanks for the reassurance. I really want to be cheap and use one but I'll hate myself for not doing it right the first time
>>30276803
They're great rifles, they're just ugly and have uncomfortable stocks.
Hungary makes great AKs but you just kind of have to want a Hungarian rifle to get one as they're just "different" than normal.
What is the dirt cheapest way to get an ak? I'm selling some of my guns and If I can get an AK in the 600-650 range I want to.
>>30277170
You can use it for a while and replace it later but that's a waste of money
>>30277520
Get a Wasr, it's the cheapest you can get an AK and know it probably won't be a piece of junk. It seems they're actually quite nice rifles, but someone at Nuggetfest had one that was having consistent jamming issues with all manner of magazines so it makes me wonder
>>30277587
>having consistent jamming issues with all manner of magazines
Early ones bought from "x" vendors were a risk purchase, new ones have come up in the world.
so i need advice
i have a wasr but i want a more accurate ak, was thinking on getting a 107 on friday, any issues with them other than paint and cant?
>>30257986
What's the point of buying an rpk that has a cast bolt and bolt carrier. Save up and buy a Romanian or yugo/serbian rpk.
>>30277766
This was a new production Wasr 10, not a 10/63
>>30269844
I have one of their milled ak47s. It's great I'd say you did well.
>>30276115
The question was "where from?" So I assumed "country of origin"
But yeah, the actual supplier does browse /akg/, though there have been a few pretenders
live
>>30279507
>That is no AK, is shovel!
Just picked up this bad boy the other day. First rifle ever owned and first AK ever shot.
>>30280087
Ddi ?
>>30280087
Nice. Is it everything you hoped it would be?
>yeah I have an AK
oh cool! what kind?
>...47?
>mom was gonna have an AK-47 cake made for me for my birthday
>changed her mind when orlando happened
Not sure how it feels desu

It's clearly a M44 Mosin nagant bayonet. Honestly I find it fucking neat though.
so steel mags wobble way less than polys?
tf?
>bought a polish akm kit
>mfw the wood is really pretty
Is this pretty standard for a polish rifle? I just cleaned the wood up with some old English and now it shines like a niggers heel
>>30281529
That's some really sexy wood you got there
>>30276803
I just finished building an AMD-65
I know a lot of people think they are ugly, but I like the strange look. I never installed the front grip so it looks a little less unnatural. Just have to point out that I have to consciously keep my fingers off the gas tube to prevent burns, but other than that I like it. It is quite light, too.
