Still waiting on your stock ?
>>30384672
Estimated delivery is in early/mid July. That's what you get when you get free shipping from the Russian federation. I am also waiting on some silver bear 5.45 and a Bulgarian zigzag brake. How's your stock holding up? Do you like it?
you like my ak?
What else do I need to complete my late 80s Soviet Afghan 74 clone?
Also, how much per mag did you guys in that mag group buy pay? I don't *need* any more mags but it's an addiction.
Also again, what is my best bet for finding 74 mags with trench art? I just look through the Files and buy em when I find em when they're priced right. Those are my favorite mags. I've got two black (10)s with with some what I'm assuming is Bulgarian writing carved all over them and I've got five Russian plums with writing varying to pretty faint to really noticeable.
who /little green men/
>>30384742
Could you post pics of said trench art mags?
Does anybody have experience with the DDI AKL-47 Milled in particular?
This one (which I apparently can't order right now thanks to Omar Buttfuck)
https://www.atlanticfirearms.com/component/virtuemart/shipping-rifles/ddi-ak47-milled-detail.html?Itemid=0
Is this AK good quality? I've heard good things and I've heard bad things about DDI, so not entirely sure.
Or should I maybe shell out the extra $300 for an Arsenal SAM7 (even though I really want to avoid going over $1000)
>>30384838
Think hard before getting a milled. I like milled guns but you need to have a vision for what you want to do with it, and expect the rifle to be...
>>30384830
I'm not at home currently but I'll take one eventually
>>30384733
Love it solid as fuck
Added some tan tape so I don't burn my chin here in az lol
>>30384909
I want something that will last me, not just for range sessions, but long term preparation as well, for SHTF scenarios.
Something that is solid as hell and can take a pounding.
Basically not just a rooty tooty point-n-shooty type for the occasional range (although for where I am now, that is all the treatment it may be getting).
>>30384742
I paid 20$ a plum
>>30384545
Can that be fired without fucking up the finish, or is that a wallhanger?

Everything you just said is true for stamped

>Arizona
Understandable
I live in Wisconsin so temps aren't too high. I think the hottest this summer has been so far is about 100 degrees. Winters are fun though
>>30384966
Well, call it a personal preference then.
>>30384995
Why? Milled does absolutely nothing that stamped doesn't do. Both are equally reliable (if anything stamped is more reliable due to it flexing and while milled can get microfractures over time) and the literal only difference is milled is heavier and is significantly crippled when it comes to aftermarket because milled guns and stamped guns cannot accept the same furniture.

Doesn't look bad man, just make sure the mag isn't going to rust out or cut you up
>>30385612
I'm gonna go back through with a file and get the rough edges off, and the stupid thing got to become those because it was already exhibiting signs of being rusty.
It's a beater mag and it's now an improved magazine (woohoo)
>>30385497
>I hope you got a scope rail on the side
Of course I do, the rifle is just an SLR-104 made to resemble a late war AKS74N
>And I'm pretty sure they used wood in trashcanistan/plum was very rare - but idk.
Shiny plum furniture was made and found on AKS74s from 1979/1980 to 1985 and matte plum furniture was made and found on AKS74s from 1985/1986 to 1990 when the Russians finally got around to black polymer furniture.

>>30385735
When my Obzor was still coming in the mail I was really considering getting a cheek riser but once I got it and actually used it I decided I liked it well enough without and didn't really need one. Maybe one day I'll pick one up but I just feel that for me it'll be just another accessory I buy and don't use.
>>30385746
Shit. It was a polymer one on russiansurplus.net
It's gone now. Wow, that's shitty.
>>30385784
There's really no need for one, and due to the angle of the stock you're going to end up with a bit of cheek bite if you try to use the irons. Up to the user, I just prefer it since I'm going to be using optics. If I need to, the PKA-V I have gives a lower 1/3rd cowitness if need be anyhow.
Actually, now I'm kind of annoyed. I have no idea where the pictures of my NSP-3 went.

yes, but Russia stockpiled those rifles and was issuing out older stuff. Most Russo-Afgan pics I have seen of trianglefolders have blonde laminated bulged wood handguards.

The receiver barrel and the welded parts on the FSGB are unpainted but will be kg gunkoted than im going to roughin the finish a bit to get it to look more like the original parts
is putting a bulgy siderail on a m92pap worth it?
>>30386328
yea, but how you gonna match the matte satin black of the original painted parts?
>>30386416
Kg will be close but like i said im going to try and make it look a bit scratched and used.
>>30385855
>yes, but Russia stockpiled those rifles and was issuing out older stuff.
By the mid-late 80s they were issuing plum AKS74s along with the traditional wood with bakelite grips. The later in the war you look the more frequently they popped up.
>Most Russo-Afgan pics I have seen of trianglefolders have blonde laminated bulged wood handguards.
There are plenty of photos out there of plum furniture in the conflict.
Keep in mind that the Soviet Afghan War was ten years long from 1979 to 1989, with plum furniture really only making it's way in the scene in the final four years of the war.
Plus, the cool thing about mimicking a late 80s AKS74 is that they were also common in the first Chechen War.
>>30386165
>Wood furniture
If I ever wanted to mimic an early-mid war AKS74 I'd be all over wood and bakelite.
>and a well-worn finish.
This will happen in due time.

>>30386508
Now that I look closer I can't 100% tell if those handguards are plum or just dark wood

i was bored, so i though what would happen i shot without gas tube and gas piston/bolt carrier, then i had the idea of attaching the balloon on gas port. i haven't shot it, yet. but i noticed how air tight the barrel is as the balloon doesn't deflate, i had a bulgarian dummy round chambered on the picture and index finger on the other end

This is a great pic
>>30388756
It cycled though
That's no squib
If I wanted to get a soviet afghan era 74, how much should one pay for the parts kit?
>>30389191
Squibs can cycle the action, it's just not likely.
>>30389219
Kit without receiver or barrel: $600-$800
Kit with barrel: $1000+
There's a matching 83 kit with barrel on AKfiles right now for $1400 I believe.
That isn't including the cost of a receiver and the cost to pay someone to build it for you unless you already have the knowledge and tools ($500 in tools) to build it yourself.
>>30389272
>Kit with barrel: $1000+
>There's a matching 83 kit with barrel on AKfiles right now for $1400 I believe.
Obviously without a receiver as those are evil machine gun parts
Or you could just buy an SLR104 and furniture like this guy did >>30384742
>>30389293
>Or you could just buy an SLR104
I already have an SGL31. It isn't the same and a 104 isn't either.
>>30389191
>>30389228
It could be US-dropped/placed boom-boom ammo. Made to blow up in insurgent guns. They mix in a few per spam can.
>>30389300
True but it's as close as you'll get without building
>>30389316
What a very useless and non informative post.
>>30388285
>>30388366
He's not kidding. Use of salted ammo goes all the way back to MACV SOG shenanigans in Vietnam. Notice how much smoke comes out of the AK when it explodes vs the smoke that comes out when it shoots normally
>>30389332
I answered all of your shit here >>30389272, go build it then. If you know how to build it and already have the tools that's awesome and you'll save some money in the long run. 9/10 of the people who ask about building in /akg/ don't know shit about it and grossly underestimate the time and skills that are needed for building so I suggested a second easier but not 100% the same option for the less mechanically inclined that frequently ask the same shit you're asking. Why are you so pissy?

>>30389437
They were all me. I answered your questions regarding building, but like I said 9/10 of the people here don't understand building AKs and after asking about it they get squeamish when they realize what goes into it, so I suggested an SLR104 with period correct furniture because I figured you were, like I said, one of the 9/10 of people here who dont get building AKs and that would be an easy-tier close enough looking rifle for those who don't want to deal with building or the wait of waiting for it to be built.
If you're willing to have it built then go for it, there's nothing sexier than a genuine Soviet mid war AKS74. My only concern would be getting the new recover to match the finish wear on the rest of the parts but there are some true artists out there who can match the wear surprisingly well.

What part of "it's only held for easy shipping" did you miss? It's been used for some one off business deals and that's about it, if you're really so concerned about it
school is definitely out for the summer

>bought an RAS-47
I'm sorry for your loss
Do SLR-107's (or 104's and 106's) come with wood furniture at all that isn't aftermarket?
I really, really like those but I'm not fond on the polymer furniture and would most likely prefer wood if possible.
If so, I'd completely be willing to shell out an extra three hundred dollars to get one, otherwise I don't feel like paying $1200-$1300 for one where I don't even like the furniture look.
>>30393806
No you'll have to sell what's on it and replace it. Also I'm not sure how much you understand about the stock system but you won't be able to put a wooden buttstock on them. You can use a triangle folder though, to keep it fully wood&steel.

Since slr107's have become unobtanium, what is a good AK to get? Would like something as close to an slr107fr as possible, without dropping megajewbux
>>30393829
Fuck.
I really hate the prospect of buying my first AK as an ugly polymer look.
I can't seem to find any higher end AK's that have wood furniture that Aren't fuckin sold out or out of production.
What a painful search this is. Can't even use Atlantic Firearms proper right now due to fucking fudd panic buying cycle.
>>30393438
Sweet deal. At that price type 56 is reasonable.

hey chimps, whats your opinion.
wasr#2 or m92 pistol , before the elections happen (slr107 nest year prob)
>>30394033
I'd spring for the Wasr 2 unless you can say for sure you'll be SBR'ing the M92. Also depends on how good of a deal you can get on the Wasr 2.
>>30394165
locally it seems 650 for a wasr and 550 for the m92 pap (brace + ~120) 670.
question for you guys, some of my steel surp ak mags have a hole behind the front locking tab, while some others are solid. is that normal? Should I be worried about it? Looks like they were made that way, not rusted out holes or stuff like that.
here is a pic from google to show what I mean.
>>30394548
my russian metal mags dont have it but my romanian one does, its probably just the production style no worries
>>30394219
650 for a Wasr or a Wasr-2? Just asking because it's rare you even see a Wasr-2 for sale
I wanna recommend the Wasr-2 just because it's more practical but the M92 really has a better track record going for it. I guess the M92 with the pistol brace would still be fairly practical. I'm biased because I really just haven't come around to the idea of pistol braces yet.
Just got an SLR104 phamalam. Besides the VTAC sling I just got for it, what else should I get for the gun?
I think I'll be investing in an ALG AKT for sure
/akg/, in your infinite judgement, tell me how to spend my money
vepr 12 and sks or 5.45 arsenal?
>>30394603
Ah ok. My surps are Polish, according to the site i bought them from. I didn't think it was a biggie but I'm prone to worrying about little stuff like that. Thanks!
>>30394687
depends what guns you have now. assuming none, personally, id get the arsenal
>>30394626
its a 7.62x39 cigur wasr, i called it wasr#2 because it will be my second one, till slr107s come back in 2017.
>>30394687
5.45 Arsenal is my vote i love mine
>>30394698
Oh, I thought you were talking about the 5.45 Wasr.
In that case it's totally subjective in whether or not you want to own two duplicate rifles.
>>30394687
Probably the 5.45
Does anyone know where to get the pins used to hold the front sight post and gas block in place? I may have lost the ones that were with my Tantal kit when I was removing the parts from the barrel.
>>30395580
You deserve it.
>>30395580
1/8" mild steel (1020 -1040) round bar stock, watch James Yaegers video on how to fix a canted FSB to see how to heat-treat it properly.
Or you know, you could go look around AKfiles, or KVAR, but expect to pay $1-2 each.
Apprentice gunsmith here.
Never really touched slavshit, but I figure I may as well learn. I picked up a 2015 NIB tacticool IO my teacher had sitting around to practice on. Other than the rivets and the cast trunnion, what would I need to fix on it to make it into a gun worth having?
>>30395689
surplus barrel
>>30395613
I don't disagree, which is why I'm going to look through my kit to make sure I didn't, I'm asking in case I did.
>>30395646
Thanks for the help.
>>30395689
By the time it's even safe to shoot you'll have literally replaced everything
>>30395698
I take it that the stock barrel isn't chrome lined? And I think the muzzle break is perma attached to the barrel too. Bastards probably just globbed red locktite on it. That'll be annoying to replace.
>>30395793
If I can make an IO into something not trash, I'll count it as a win. Just needs to keep the same SN.

mattv2099 had someone rebuild his I.O, maybe you can leave a comment on his channel. hes good at answering people
>>30395689
Throw it in the trash and buy something that isn't terrible. You can't make gold out of shit. You'll have to replace basically everything before you get something worthwhile.
>>30395921
>>30396088
I gotta do it. My teacher managed to spiff up a RAS into a match grade gun without removing too many original parts. Like the little shit I am, I bet him I could do the something similar. Now I'll look like an jackass if I don't.
>>30396137
>Now I'll look like an jackass if I don't.
You'll look even more like a jackass with half your face and fingers gone.

How is the Zhukov stock? Is it rugged or comfortable or only good for 5.45? AK neighbor tells me that for 7.62 he uses a recoil spring tube stock but does it matter for 5.45 if you have a good enough brake?
>>30391125
RS Products BM-1 if you absolutely don't want anything replacing the furniture. Be prepared to spend at least ~$130 for a complete mounting solution.
>>30393132
Holy shit you don't know anything.
>>30396223
orr a UTG shitty shotgun mount for $30
>>30396137
Well it's not possible. 90% of the working parts have to be replaced. Also I doubt he managed to turn the RAS-47 into a "match grade gun" either that or he's a moron.
>>30393260
Your form 6 will be denied for anything of soviet origin, unless you have paperwork stating they have been in a third party country for 5 years.

Unless the package was sent to customs and opening and they know what it is, it will get through.
a box of magazine bodies they are well aware of what it is, you will be receiving a yellow letter in a few weeks stating your mags have been seized, I wouldn't dispute it unless you want to be prosecuted.
You take a gamble playing customs roulette, 95% gets through, sometimes it doesn't.
>>30396188
>He thinks that's a shitty Zhukov stock
Lurk more.
Protip - It's a ZenitCo PT-1
>>30396582
You from NE?
Sounds like the shit they were trying to spout while they had the "Museum Grade" debacle.
I've had dozens of packages of mags from all over including Russia.
All arrived after going through customs, some even opened by customs.
Incomplete mags do not constitute a whole, and they can't do shit faggot.
You can also legally recieve parts and firearm components as long as the value is under $100, and with the ruble in the toilet that's a more than a few mags.
>All my mag bodies were $3 declared value. As were the seperate packages of springs and floorplates.
Enjoy being cucked by the gayTF.
>>30396684
Wrong on all counts, magazine bodies,springs,floor plates. All are implements of war for a firearm not approved for import on the voluntary restraint agreement.
Just because a package went through customs doesnt meet it's inspected, the ones you claim were opening I would say the employee was either lazy, or didn't know what it was thankfully.
Best case is they send you a letter saying not to do it again, worst case they show up at your door and slap the cuffs on for felony charges.
>>30396729
You can import anything on that list so long as the wholesale value is under 100 dollars and it's for personal use. My 5 RPK baks are 15 a piece so according the the ayyytf it's completely legal, this anon is right >>30396684
>>30396863
Kalashnikovs and their associated parts are not on the voluntary restraint agreement approved import list.
>>30396729
>Wrong on all counts, magazine bodies,springs,floor plates. All are implements of war for a firearm not approved for import on the voluntary restraint agreement.
Mind posting some source on that claim.
Because nothing on the ATFs site makes that claim.
>List firearm component parts, (which do not include a firearm frame or receiver) under the Implement of War (IOW) category. IOWs include magazines, grips, barrels, mounts, scopes, and night visions, etc.
As I stated, parts of mags do not constitute a whole, and therefore are not pursuant to IOW guidelines.
Furthermore
>ATF Form 6 Parts I, II, 6NIA & 6A Exemptions
>Minor components and parts for Category I(a) and I(b) firearms except barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or complete breech mechanisms, when the total value does not exceed $100 wholesale in any single transaction.
And since you were talking about that guy's slings
>Firearm accessories such as gun cases, slings, and cleaning kits
>>30396881
There's not a specific list, read the ATF form 6. Any minor component is allowed and "parts of category I(a) firearms, except barrels, receivers,cylinders, and complete breech mechanisms" can be imported so long as the total wholesale value does not exceed 100 dollars
>>30396427
Source?
