Anyone know where I can buy a Bulgarian triangle folder with the rubber recoil pad?
>>29652661
You could also just get the AMDTech cheek riser. Honestly though, I'm just wondering why anyone would want to buy one of those new disgusting 63/65 mishmashes. Too bad FEG stopped importing the proper AMD-65s.
>>29652685

It is the shit though. I enjoy mine.
>>29652738
You may have to resort to a parts kit.
>>29652185
Maximum wood.
Anywhere to get a 100 series folding stock set? I don't want the civi version due to muh autism.
>>29652802
I think I'll just scour Armslist and Gun Broker and hope for the best.
Are the izhmash sporters 100% Russian AKs and are they any good?
>>29652862
Yes but they're the very definition of bare bones, meant to dodge import bans.
Really, they exist to be converted back to a mil spec configurations.
>>29652862
Yes and yes.
>>29652862
They're the closest thing to true Russian AKs that you can buy. They're good quality but you need to convert them to bring them back to what an AK should be.
>>29652828
>I don't want the civi version
Then you'll have to resort to private listings on forums or gunbroker, nobody stocks the real deal. They're not easy to find.
>>29652862
100% Russian. Fairly good quality although I would probably put the SLRs over the average Saiga due to parts fitment and finish. Perfectly reliable and properly built though.
>>29652960
They are only after you convert them, you dingus.

>>29653286
Is it possible for that sporter i had pictured, to accept the other furniture designs, the typical AK wood furniture?
>>29653376
Yes, but you will need to swap out/add some parts. That's what people mean by converting them.
Pic related is my saiga that used to be in the sporting configuration.
>>29653376
How do you not know about Saiga conversions? Spend 5 minutes on google and answer your own question.
>>29653376
Yes it is possible but it requires you to do what's called a Saiga conversion. How hard the conversion is to do depends on how "correct" you want to do it. You can do one that works with a dremel and a screwdriver. But to do it the best way it can be done requires much more.
>>29652862
i love mine, i converted it though
>>29653402
>>29653376
This is an example of a Saiga that's been converted pretty much 100%. The old gas block and front sight block have been removed, the barrel has been notched to accept the lower handguard retainer, the gas tube has been replaced, the gas block and front sight block have been replaced and pinned to the barrel, the trigger guard has been removed and a new trigger guard and mag catch assembly has been riveted on (five rivets). No simple task really.
>>29653286
I already have several WTB ads out.
>>29653462
Serms after all that, you could have just bought an arsenal...
>>29653575
Saigas used to be extremely cheap
>>29653465
Check WTS ads too, I know when I go to sell something I don't even check the WTB section, I just list it. Also you can create a saved search on gunbroker that will email you daily with search results. "5.5mm" would be a good keyword.
>>29653575
They used to be cheaper. Some people also just want an actual Russian AK.

Steel AK74 5.45 magazines.

Arsenal is a bulgy company that at one point sold converted saigas, but it's been a long time since they've done that. They do the pretty much only AK-100 series clones currently.

You mean that one company that also acts as the US importer for the other?
>>29653694
Please explain how they're different, other than one's a manufacturer and the other is an importer?
They're both under FIME Group's corporate umbrella, along with K-VAR.
>>29653755
>>29653817
Snapple owns Dr. Pepper and does contract stuff with Coca Cola, doesn't mean they're all the same thing you faggots.
>>29654082
Arsenal Inc was founded in the USA specifically for the licensed manufacture and importation of Arsenal products. It's not like they're unrelated companies
>>29654178
I'm not saying they're unrelated, I'm just saying that they're not the same thing.
>>29654198
You remind me of someone I talked to who thought Nintendo was an American company just because the North American subsidiary is called Nintendo of America.
>>29654223
Kill yourself. If you're too stupid the understand that just because something is a subsidiary or does work with or for another company does not mean it's the same thing.
What's the general consensus regarding Inter-Ordinance AKs?
>>29654399
Stay away from them. They're terrible.

Avoid at all costs.

Holy shit, that damage control and intellectual disconnect.
>T-they're different guys because they're not in the same building or in the same exact business.
One builds and exports, the other imports and sells.
FIME is the only entity allowed to import Bulgarian Arsenals, so for all intensive porpoises, they're the same.

By definition they are 2 sides of the same coin.
Importer and exporter.
The one (importer) would not exist without the other (exporter).
So you are arguing semantics.
>>29655139
But that's not what we're talking about you faggot.
>>29655127
sure, i dont have an ak anymore so im just trying to get rid of them. I also have some polish and Romanian mags
almost finished un-tacticooling a wasr. Just waiting on the upper handguard. The dong feels so right in your hands, even if it does get in the way of reloads
>>29655169
That's exactly what we're talking about.
But I'm done.
You win.
They're not the same, you pendantic fuck.
Throwing around the idea of getting rid of the 105. Been thinking that going to a 106 would help me consolidate calibers. Or one in 7.62x39 would be nice because the ammo is cheap and available locally.
Anyone want said 105? Figured I'd start asking $1000 OBO. Or is 5.45 vastly superior to 5.56 and worth keeping for some special snowflake reason?

Arsenal USA and FIME are staffed by the same exact employees out of the same exact building, the word FIME only exists because Russia was upset bulgarian and russian guns were being sold under the arsenal name at the same time.
Which is surprising because Arsenal bulgaria is licensed by Izhmash to produce Kalashnikovs.
The word FIME only exists on import paperwork.

They still were upset because would you want your brand being sold along side technically a competitors product being sold by the same company?

>>29655695
Nice, glad I could help.
Let us know the shape it's in.
I got a pair of them for my Yugos when they were having a free shipping promo.
They were in pretty good shape, albeit a little faded and dirty.
They still got plenty of slingin' left in 'em though.

You'll have to hunt the forums for that.
You can get a new production one, cut the same as surplus (and stamped with your serial, if you want) and not American made, from Two Rivers Arms.

thoughts on the x54r vepr? I see you have a muzzle break, how is that helping?
So has anyone dropped an ALG trigger into a x54r VEPR?
I know it requires some modifications, just seeing if anyone has actually done it..
>>29656268
I bought one and it was a lot less comfortable than I thought it'd be. Took it off before I even went to the range. If it was just 15% more slender it'd be fine.
>>29656279
I actually haven't been able to shoot it yet. I plan on dropping in an ALG trigger next and switching the furniture though.

New acquisition. Picked up a set of K-Var milspec furniture to replace the fagpul, but now that I've got the plum handguard & grip installed I'm kind of liking the original stock. Thoughts?
>>29656683
do you have a vice? attach by the flats and twist with your hands
Just picked her up last week. Honestly I have no real intent to fuck with the rifle, shoots fine and feels good. Would rather spend the money on ammo and some surp mags.

>>29656719
Nice. Looks like we got the exact same rifle, and almost at the same time. Not sure what's up with that grip though.
Heres mine
Ignore the star wars shit
>>29656737
>THEY LOOK LIKE THE GODDAMN TRIANGLE FOLDER, YET THEY DON'T FUCKING FOLD WHAT THE FUCK MAN
That's actually what I like about it. Has the look of the side-folder but feels nice and sturdy, honestly more solid and comfortable than the mil-spec buttstock I've got IMO.
>>29656784
Is it solid wood or laminate? That'd be my only concern.
>>29656478
>>29656459
>>29656447
Looks nice, but
>no carvings
Shiggy.
>>29656828
Not sure, I just took it down to clean and it seemed like solid wood with a coat or two of laquer/finish. Does it matter significantly?
>>29656789
Looks like you picked up a 2015ish production WASR, and my grip's a bakelite that I had lying around, hated the shitty plastic one it shipped with
>>29656897
That's pretty specific, how can you tell?
And what was wrong with the grip?
>>29656897
By the furniture and the p-mag I just guessed, assuming we got the same gun. Nothing wrong with the grip, I just like bakelite and it felt kind of flimsy
>>29656897
Not a whole lot. Solid wood is less durable than laminate or polymer but unless you're really putting that thing through the ringer, it should be fine.
>>29656959
I went full retard and bumped 80 rounds through it the other day, and the wood seems in good shape. Oil and powder res wiped off fine when I cleaned it too
>>29656789
Nice Millennium Falcon broski.
>>29656977
>>29656942
Any other WASR owners get that glue/resin/sealant crap seeping out of nooks and crannies after first use? What is that shit? Cosmoline?
>mutha fuckin lego train
I forgot those were a thing desu
Is tgat a straight pull swiss mauser?
>>29656977
It's mostly a humidity thing. A solid wood stock will swell and contract and might eventually crack in humid conditions. But we're talking like, jungles of Vietnam humidity here.
>>29656981
>>29656989
>>29656989

>>29657062
>When does the paranoia about every possible thing breaking or cleaning it wrong go away?
>Breaking
Unless you dump 250 rounds in three minutes, you don't have anything to worry about.

After about the 3rd cleaning.
What are some of issues with older WASR 10s besides the canted sights, mag well problems and bad rivets?
Assuming you have the opportunity to buy one, for a good price, that has good sights, decent mag fit and good rivets are there any other major or minor issues to be aware of?

Why are magazines with trench art so cool? Whenever I see them pop up for sale I try to buy them.

>>29657194

So the day after I took home my M70AB2 I noticed there was some pretty bright reddish orange stuff on the interior side wall of the receiver near the trigger. It came right off when I cotton swabbed it and left a soft discoloration.

It's probably just grease but keep an eye on it. I had an M70 that started to develop rust around the rivets for reasons I couldn't figure out..
>>29657611
Is orange grease around the trigger group a normal thing though?
The fucking indian who sold me this thing apparently didn't clean it before shipping it.
>>29657599
>and it's an iphone camera
Literally not an excuse. Pic related was taken with a crappy old Moto X. It's about dat natural light senpai
/k gave me some good advice when I asked for help building. Returning with results: Hungarian AKMS from Arms of America with a fully heat-treated and black oxided receiver I did myself.
>>29657626
Yeah, just clean it off. I wouldn't worry unless you actually see corrosion.
>>29657599
What?
Are you seriously concerned about that front sight? There is literally nothing wrong it it. The rifle is zeroed with the post drifted ever so slightly to the left. Big fucking whoop.
Again, there is nothing to correct about that rifle. If it seriously bothers you then maybe you should stick to ARs.
>>29657652
>>29657640
Looks like you did good.
>>29657634
holy shit that's pretty
>>29657643
Im just not experienced enough to know when something is seriously wrong and when it's not yet
>>29657634
That is really nice. 74 right? Is that a flash hider or simething? what is that?
>>29657668
Thanks. The only issue I had with the whole build was this was the 'Polish AKMS' flat and the rear underfolder trunnion was off by about 3mm. So the rear rivets are garbage and bug the shit out of me. The rest of it went together great. Got the barrel pre-headspaced and was able to line it up really easy. I can hang around for a bit and answer any questions to try to pay back the help I received.
>>29657641
Alright, thanks anon. I own two ARs but haven't even fired an AK (still haven't, hoping to get out this weekend) and am not used to how jank these things are comparatively.
When I googled "orange grease AK" I didn't really find anything.
>>29657686
>74 right?
SLR-104FR
>Is that a flash hider or simething? what is that?
Bulgarian 4 piece flash hider/booster
>>29657669
It's just a standard SLR-104FR with a US palm grip, ALG AKT, and a 4-piece flashhider senpai.
>>29657686
>That is really nice. 74 right?
Yup, SLR-104fr.

So why do I hear good things about WASR 10s but bad things for Century arms?
>>29657808
Because the WASR doesn't shake itself apart and isn't heavy as fuck
>>29657808
Century doesn't make WASRs, just imports them and makes them 922r compliant.
>>29657808
Century arms is american
>>29657808
Because imported by =/= built by
>>29657823
>>29657828
So why bother buying an Arsenal vs a Century? If both those companies just import rather than build?
>>29657611
Actually now that I check out the rivets there's a bit of rust there too. It has to be rust then.
Is this one of the things you have to expect with these rifles? It came here from a coastal state so hopefully it's in better hands here.
>>29657844
What?
>>29657844
Because Arsenals (supposedly) are higher quality.
>>29657844
Because Bulgaria makes the best AKs out there. Even the man MK himself (pbuh) admitted it. WASRs are great and Romania makes great guns, but Bulgaria are the best (current) AK builders of Europe.
Also Arsenal Las Vegas =/= Arsenal Bulgaria
Two entirely different companies.
Arsenal Las Vegas converts/converted Saigas (which are made in and imported from Russia) and Arsenal Bulgaria manufactures rifles and imports them into the US
Also this question is fucking stupid and you should feel bad for being a retard
>>29657847
I really have no idea what to tell you because the same thing happened with mine. I took good care of it. I'd just keep it clean and oiled and it will probably still be fine. Mine didn't gt any worse once i noticed it.
>>29657882
Arsenal Las Vegas also does work on the Arsenal of Bulgaria imports which are brought in through FIME. Not the same thing but they're not different companies.
>>29657882
>Two entirely different companies.
They aren't though. See: >>29654178
This isn't like Kalashnikov USA vs Kalashnikov Concern. The Arsenals are very closely related since the US one was founded by the Bulgarian one.
>>29657900
All arsenal Las vegas does is add the 922r parts and mill out the magwell to accept double stack mags.
The saiga sporting rifles require A lot of work to resemble a AK, the bulgy guns are much closer to their factory configuration vs the saigas.
>>29657882
>Also Arsenal Las Vegas =/= Arsenal Bulgaria
>Two entirely different companies.
>Arsenal Las Vegas converts/converted Saigas (which are made in and imported from Russia) and Arsenal Bulgaria manufactures rifles and imports them into the US
Holy fuck this shit again.
Who imports the Arsenal Bulgarian rifles?
I give you a hint, it's fucking Arsenal LV.
Saigas are banned, and the SGL line is gone until they're not.
I bet you think the FIME marked rifles were worse than Arsenal marked.
>Protip - they simply changed the import mark.

>Q: Is Arsenal Inc. and Arsenal Co. of Bulgaria the same company?
>A: Arsenal Inc. of Las Vegas, Nevada is not the same company as Arsenal Co. of Kazanlak, Bulgaria. Arsenal Inc. manufactures their own products and is the exclusive distributor for Arsenal Co. products.
The only thing Arsenal Las Vegas does to the products they import from Arsenal Bulgaria is put the necessary US made parts on the rifles to make them legal. They're only the distributor of Arsenal Bulgaria. They're not the same company.

This
Straight from the horses mouth
Question.
Do you worry that owning an AK will make you a bit of an outsider, an oddity, or sometimes even someone to be looked down upon? Whether it's family, or your AR shooting friends, have you ever gotten people calling you a commie or terrorist for owning an AK?
>im the only one among my shooting buddies who owns an AK
>tfw they hum the Soviet national anthem when I join them at the range
>>29657944
>Who imports the Arsenal Bulgarian rifles? I give you a hint, it's fucking Arsenal LV.
No shit Arsenal Las Vegas imports rifles from Arsenal Bulgaria.
Does that make the Cugir factory and Century Arms the same company because one manufactures WASRs and one imports/distributes them? Of course not.
