Old thread here >>30202185
rs regulate mounts are the shit. i wish i hadnt wasted time with other options before hand (MI side rail, ultimak gastube, arsenal side rail)
Well since I fucked up making the last thread...
>>30212408
>bipod on a pistol
Y tho?
Also get some real bakes or steelies and throw that garbage pmag away.
to the anon concerned about fitment of the zenit stock on the slr107:
i believe all of the slr rifles have the 4.5mm pin.
just make sure you check that the stock has that one instead of the 5.5mm (found on the sgl series).

What are the best AK parts kits builders?
I'm looking to have a few kits done.
I was recommended kilo arms, but they never replied to like 3 of my emails.
JBI, piece of history and arizona response were also recommended.
Anyone have any clue how long the builds usually take with any of the listed companies?
>>30212500
I'll build it. 100$ a kit if you aren't happy with the work you'll get a full refund
>>30212500
you mean "who"? two rivers is worth looking up
Ak bullpup I came across not long ago... Wish I had the cash on me at that time.
>>30212465
Gnarly. I was thinking about cheaping out and just getting a recoil pad to adjust the length on mine, but that adjustable cheek riser gets me so hard.
>>30212538
Indeed, I meant who.
I'll check them out, important things to me are the rivet work more than anything.
>>30212534
hahaha, sorry m8. I have trust issues and anonymous websites make them even worse.
>>30212452
2 of them came with the gun I can't really complain. I've put atleast 1500 through each one and they work fine
>>30212559
Nah man don't worry about it. I'll make it easy. Just mail me your kits. Also I don't accept paypal. Cashiers check or cash is fine
>>30212408
It's charming. I wonder how accurate it is.
Wheres a good place to get trapdoor buttplate hardware? I find it all over the place but without the actual spring for the door. Need it for my ironwood designs furniture coming soonish
>>30212500
These guys?
http://www.kiloguns.com/
Avoid them. They did this to my Lancaster when I came in for a headspace adjustment when it closed on a no-go gauge.
Granted, it's a Lancaster I just wanted to get headspaced properly before I sold it in November, and they say it's fine, but this is absolutely piss poor work.
>>30212579
>Seems legit.png
I mean I can hit a 10"x 8" steel plate at 100 yards consistently with the irons just fine
>>30212543
>those fucking sights
>>30212579
Oh sweet dude! I'll mail you my SS number as insurance incase you don't receive the cash.
>>30212605
WOW WHAT THE FUCK
>>30212559
go to a build party or buy into one of those classes that teaches you so you can make your own
>>30212605
Jesus. Why is it so fucking hard to find a good AK builder.
I was going to go to the one guy from Tennessee (also where I'm from so it seemed fucking perfect) until I read he got a job at DDI.
Atleast DDI's won't be shit if they use parts kits built by him.
>>30212631
>I was going to go to the one guy from Tennessee
That'd be Troy Sellars.
Heard tale he still does a few builds outside of his DDI work.
Might try and contact him if you're in the same area.
IT'S DYEING TIME
Ready to go get some amber shellac and iodine to stain my AK with.
Quick question for anyone here in the know: I hear you should mix your amber shellac with denatured alcohol before you use it. Does anyone here know how much you mix it with? equal parts? only a couple tablespoons per cup? what do?
>>30212605
reeeeeeeeeeee
My old wasr that I bought for $479 and later sold for $800 as is with "remove kebab" carved into the stock to some redneck. Wish I still had that gun...
>>30212605
That pin is going to walk out guaranteed.
Got this guy for $500. Good deal?
>>30212734
I'm partial to M70s as I own the real deal in Europe, not bad though.
>>30212734
looks solid. idk about the 50 shades of grey look though.
>>30212734
It's decent nice job
>>30212700
Here's a couple links to help you get started.
https://www.shellac.net/PoundCutChart.html
https://www.shellac.net/faq.html
>>30212740
Kalashnikov in the early 2000's when he came to a museum in Virginia said the M70 was his favorite variant.
>>30212408
>YFW it groups better than an RPK cause lolverticalstringing
Heres a group from my NPAP under folder i picked up a couple weeks ago, I'm using a vise to zero it but this is what it is capable off, easily my most accurate AK, I'm very impressed.
The blued finish is so sexy, 10x better then shitty wasr grey park.
>>30212759
Thanks mane, I'll get reading
>>30212771
Yeah well fuck that faggot. The M70 is okay but I don't enjoy the weight compared to other rifles that do exactly the same thing. I don't like the ones that have been imported to the USA because I own about a half dozen originals in Europe.
>>30212798
Im hoping thats at 100 yards lad
How's ddi's 74s? Kinda wanting a 74 and the price looks attractive
Anyone know a good builder near Portland, OR? I've got a Tantal build in mind and would prefer to keep things close to home.
>>30212759
Good read. It also just occured to me that alot of Shellac that you can buy at home depot and whatnot doesn't actually come in flakes; I don't think any alcohol would be needed then, right? I don't think either of those links addressed that
>>30212847
seconding this
Just krink my shit up senpai
>>30212847
DDI has tons of quality issues.
>>30212869
Stop posting the same pic every damn thread and actually install your folding stock locking hook.
>>30212879
100 times 0 issues, too many...
>>30212879
>This guy again
Get laid brah
What do you all think of this?
Might get a kick out of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiZHgwICPlU
>>30212864
>I don't think any alcohol would be needed then, right?
No, I'm pretty sure they're already "premixed" but I don't have any experience with that stuff.
I'd imagine it'd have some directions on the label though, as far as application/usage.
>>30212880
I cant install it as I don't have it with me as I'm waiting for the form 3 to be done and it still needs selector markings than painted. I'm not going to install the latch when the latch isn't going to be painted.
>>30212734
That a Century build? I've got three, an M70B1, AB2 and M72.
>>30212822
>I own about a half dozen originals in Europe
We heard you the first time, no one believes you.
>>30212934
is there a non-vidyashit version?
>>30212945
I'll check it out at the store. Thanks for the links breh, I've still got some time to do research
>>30212972
Yep, good ole century. I'm currently torn on it, I don't know if I want to keep it like it is, or put wood furniture on it. And then there's my friend who's trying to convince me to camo spray it.
>>30213054
That's the point of the video, he looks at various guns, briefly talks about their history and then examines how they're usually portrayed in games and why they are seen that way. At least that's one kind of video he makes.
>>30212864
>>30212847

Sure.
If bowtie could put shellac on his stock with a fucking sock, I'm sure you'll figure it out and it'll turn out just fine.

godspeed, ras anon
>>30213186
from what i see on the files, they have some issues with qc. their cs rep is excellent though, so atleast theyre trying
>>30213198
Good point. On one hand, I wanna be super careful and scientific about so as to not fuck up my AK, but on the other hand, I think being too careful and precise with this stuff violates the spirit AK-dom, if you get what I mean
>>30213315

>>30213212
Well that furniture is at least as ugly as my WASR but at least CA gave you that nice lower handguard
>>30213308
Didn't the owner of DDI say some really childish shit on the Files to someone complaining about an issue with one of their rifles? Anyone got the screencap?
I've heard they're basically Waffen Werkz rifles, but that's /k/ hearsay.
>>30213386
The dude bought out Waffen Werks and all their machinery and created DDI.
>>30213375
It has to be him. Look at all those cheap guns. Anyone who would own an ATI 1911 or a SCCY would praise a fuckin' Ras. Kek
>>30213375
That's impressive.
>>30213439
It's me.
>>30213386
The person complaining didn't have any DDI rifles. The guy was a dick, DDI acted pretty childish though.
>>30213386
He asked why there were so many threads on issues with DDI rifles and the owner told him to basically go fuck himself.
There are plenty of threads with DDI guns with issues from canted sights, to soft metal peening.
I would avoid them for now and get a WASR or Pap or something, SLR's are sold out, unless you want to drop $1100 on a milled arsenal.

>BROWN BEAR
Is there any difference between Brown Bear and the white box Barnaul I have? They're both made by Barnaul.
>>30213516
Barnaul makes Brown bear. Does your Brown bear stink? I have it in 9 and 762x39 and the stuff reeks when I shoot it. Runs great though.
Also I'm going to start calling myself the RAShole
>>30213447
not hard to do an image cross reference search
>>30213541
>Does your Brown bear stink?
No. Every gunshot from my rifles smells like burning smokeless. That slightly salty tang with nice carbon notes and smoky untertones.
>>30213170
a 5.45 did the job
took quite a few boolets to do it but none the less
>>30213573
Is 400 thousandths of 28 TPI fine thread on a 1.675" diameter stainless pipe with S7 tool steel endcap strong enough to hold together under the thousands of PSI from a 5.45x39 shot?
>>30213212
>>30213541
Wolf,bear ammo, white box, and monarch are all made by barnaul and are the same exact product.
>>30213623
Fair point.
>>30212408
holy christ don't post CP in /k/ you degenerate.
>>30213623
That ported gas tube will never not confound me. Such a fucking random thing for Century to choose.
>>30213722
I don't think they actually try to make garbage, it just happens sometimes.
>>30213722
Are you sure it's not a suppressor compatibility thing?
Hey guys I know this is not the right thread to be asking but I like the /akg/ people part of /k/ the most cuz you guys are willing to talk straight.
For about ten years now I feel like I cannot stop paying attention to every door, corner, people inside vehicles (parked as well), lights that can cast silhouettes, pretty much as much as I can sink into my brain.
I'm constantly scanning when I step foot outside my door. It feels like a duty-like chore and I feel obligated to do so.
Sometimes I wish I could just turn my brain off, stroll along, and have a world that I could go outside with no weapons for means of defense, and walk without KNOWING there are people that wait for people to do this.
My instructors growing up were very strict on this and I've engrained it institutions myself. It's annoying but I do it all the time. Always having a plan when I enter a new place, looking at each and every person accessing threats, watching their clothing and the way they shift their weight to reveal weapon adjustment. It's hard to describe but I know I'd rather do this automatically then to have to remind myself.
Am I alone /k/? I have no friends so I can't really ask them. Pic related my 107. wish I could just open carry this but it's not the 1700's anymore :/
>>30214125
Yeah I miss the 1700s when people open carried AKs
Bro but maybe you're like a spy or something? You're like Jason Bourne or something bro. You CIA?
>>30214304
It's situational awareness man. I mentioned the 1700's because it was common for people to carry rifles. I know I sound retarded when I explain it but I'd rather talk to people on /k/ than sound like an idiot in person.
>>30214125
I'm like that, too. Welcome to situational awareness and being a man.
Years of internet videos of people getting fucked up because they weren't paying attention has caused you to become aware.
It's not a bad thing. Just don't stress out over it.
I basically do it subconsciously now. Of course it sucks seeing any random car near my street and assuming its someone plotting a robbery, but atleast I can plan ahead if something were to happen.
>>30214304
faggot.
Any VEPRbros in here? Loving my 23" despite the fact it absolutely murders brass. Makes it a bitch to reload. Seriously considering getting one in 7.62x39 to join my x54r model. Any luck finding any?
>>30214523
Well your right about the years of Internet (2006 old fag here) but it's probably the martial arts too.

Does anyone here have any experience returning an ak into century for repair?
I got mine replaced, but I got sent one with the rear sight canted 1-2mm to the right, and the front sight the same to the left. It's able to be fired but it fucking bugs me having to turn my head on the stock to align it.
Is it worth it, or will they fuck it up?
>>30215454
Its an AK man... Throw a red dot on that and call it a fuckn day.
they'll send you one back with a canted stock and gas tube.
>>30213133
I think it depends on the parts they aquire. Some have rods, some dont. Mine is a rifle or two above their 200 rifle count and came with a rod.
>>30215199
>>30215414
Fug, that hits close to home
I'm thinking of buying a 1911a1 clone to go with it. Any input on Auto Ordinance's?
>>30215414
I fucking hate niggers.
>>30215503
Well yea, but that would involve me spending 160 on a good side mount, and buying a red dot.
>>30215454
Sell it and buy one that you inspect in person before purchase.
Can someone tell me about the Intrac MK II? Is this a piece of shit, or any good? How much is one worth?
>>30212389
I'm in Arizona visiting a buddy who had a fire.
This fire destroyed some guns.
Long story short, I have a mak90 that needs the long spring and rod thing replaced.
Where could I source one of those?
>>30216446
Also, I have little to no experience with these firearms. I also need a thumbhole stock for apparently 922r compliance.
>>30216446
>long spring and rod thing
recoil guide spring?
>>30216519
Yes that. I'm not up to par with AK terminology
>>30216547
that's alright. You can get recoil guide rods and springs basically any website you can get AK hardware.
Idk about thumbhole stocks though
>>30216575
Will any set work? Such as: https://www.k-var.com/shop/AK-339S.html
>>30216611
I don't see why not, as long as your rifle fits the description.
Speaking of hardware, anyone know a reliable place to get a trapdoor buttplate with a tension spring for the toolkit?
All I can find is just the plate and the door, not the spring
>>30216658
>description
;_;
>>30216658
Don't know where to get just the trapdoor, but Apex has the whole kit for $15.

>>30214699
i know i can google this shit but 2 questions
is that troublesome chunk of lower receiver with the angle an issue for acessories? i know theres stocks made for it but is there a mod i can get to simply fill in the gap and let me use a stock of my choice made for regular AKs? what about the handguard?
i cant seem to find a good image of what one looks like without the factory stock and guard
>>30216446
What you are looking for is the recoil spring assembly.
Are you trying to source a chinese parts?
Here's some links, if so.

Yes.
Sgm Tactical, amongst others, have an adapter for slant cut receivers.
https://www.legionusa.com/vepr-slant-to-square-stock-adapter-sgm.html
As for the handguards, there's a few options.
The easiest option is probably a bolt on retainer.

>>30216763
>>30216811
I should rephrase. The mak 90 I also known as Chinese type 56 right? I'm not googling that so idk if it's accurate.
This gun...*might*...have some metallurgy issues. I don't want to spend a lot of money on something that make be in an explosion of the gun fails....
do I "need" a mak90 Spring? The one linked is more than I wanted to pay but if it's my only option then so be it

>>30217953
>>30217953
>>30217963
Looks like pretty much run of the mill bakelites, but you have more Tulas than Izzys so that's cool. The type you're posting is the most common I've seen which is the mid-production Bakelite. Good OTK stamps on two of those, which is a quality control stamp. If you disassemble the magazine and look inside, sometimes you can actually find stamps inside the mag.

A Glock 19 isn't anything special either but I'm highly sentimental about mine and I get a lot of enjoyment out of it. It's a nice looking rifle.

>>30219112
>How's your vepr run? Any issues ?
No issues with he gun so far, mind you I've only put roughly 100rds. The scope is another thing, which I'm still nigger rigging it so I can get the reticle to line up to the center when zeroed. Other than that pretty happy with the setup.
>>30219169
I thought the scopes were designed offset? I could be wrong tho
>>30219181
The problem I'm having is that I'm running out of windage adjustment, the bullet impact and the " ^ " reticle in the center are not even close. So I'm trying something out to correct this which involves some trial and error to see if it will hold zero.
The scope offset is not the issue.
>>30216865
Thanks!
>>30216932
Not at all. Its pretty scratch resistant.
>>30217924
>pic related
to dong or not to dong? the set is $30 for pete's sake.
>>30219207
Are you loosening the screws on the turrets so you can get the full range of adjustment?
>>30218991
How much should I be willing to sell that shitpiece for?
It's a Romy G parts kit, has about 1000 rounds through it, decent russian red wood furniture, and at the very least it no longer closes on a no-go.
>>30219124
ei muuta ku onnea ja menestystä
>>30219333
Yep, I go so far into the right that the reticle in the scope is retardly to the right of the scope picture and I still need more adjustment cause the center reticle won't line up with the bullet impact.
I wish I had taken a pic, but my current fuckery with it seemed to have work and managed to get more windage adjustment. It's a Very simple fix though. Just needs more adjustment for sake of my autism and scope sight picture.
I bought that AMD-65 today. I plan to replace the grips with another plastic set, will probably get a wood set as well. Also plan on removing the Echo 93 sling plate and installing a standard AMD rear sling point.
>>30219533
>>30219378
Yeah, sounds like you figured that much out at least. A lot of people go to the stop and think they ran out of adjustment.
Sounds like you'll have to shim something or grind something down. That sucks

That front sight.
Because the Galil is so close to the AK, I figure you all are the best place to ask. I just got this demilitaraized Galil and I have a new receiver. How am I supposed to detech the mag release and trigger gaurd and reattached them to the new receiver?
>>30220038
Grind the rivets down, punch them out, re-rivet the parts onto the new receiver.
If you are having trouble this early you may seriously want to consider sending it to someone who know's what they are doing.
>>30220096
dont be so hard on him, how else is he gonna learn how to do it?
>>30220096
Well, I didn't think what I have bought was going to be a demilitarized rifle. That was my fault. And as far as re-riveting it, is that something that requires a specialized machine or can I do it with just a regular rivet gun.
>>30220149
A google search would be a good place to start.
>>30220183
You can do it with screws if you want.
>>30220183
Most people use rivet smashing jigs in tandem with a press. I would not use a rivet gun on the more essential parts of an AK but for something like the trigger guard, pop rivets would probably be fine, but they might loosen over time if you put pressure on an inserted magazine.
>>30220296
So in otherwords, I should take it to a gunsmith since I don't have a press?
>>30220332
You should really watch a few videos on ak building, are you building a galil or an ak with galil parts? Most gunsmiths are not equipped to build an ak, try on local forms to see if anyone close has a press if u want you can do it by hand with a vice and putting the the head of the rivit on something than use a large punch to flatten the rivit, u can easily do this if you make a tool out of a punch that matchs the head of the rivit.
>>30220425
side folding spit roast? what?
>>30220332
I mean, you could try flushing them yourself with a steel bar to hold the rivets steady, a punch, and a hammer but expect to have ugly rivets and many broken punches.
>>30220469
If the gunsmiths near me can't do it, I just might have to do that. I'm in a fairly large city so there are more than a few gunsmiths around me. I'll call around.

Someone tell me why a polymer "milled style" AK receiver with metal inserts wouldn't work.
>>30220458
>>30220703
Not mine, saw on the Childers guns FB page.
Also found this on akfiles, I think the bottom one would look cool as fuck on a milled gun.
>>30220713
How big is your bank account?
Do you want military grade or something less? Copes has tantal mags for 30 http://www.copesdistributing.com/polish-tantal-plastic-545x39-30rd-p-4214.html
I think CDNN has bulgarian mags with plastic lugs for 10 dollars but they are not military style so not as good as surplus.
>>30220970
>>30221144
Tell me why it wouldn't work. Metal trunion.
>>30220970
You could make it work but without significant weight savings over a stamped steel receiver. The rails would have to be steel front to back. Moreover the section of the receiver that the rails attach to would have to be steel reinforced because of the stress the left side receiver rail undergoes during ejection. You can't rivet a steel trunnion inside a plastic receiver, that area would have to be steel reinforced, just steel reinforcements fucking everywhere. The trigger guard assembly couldn't be attached to just plastic or it would tear the receiver out if you dropped the rifle on the magazine. The area of the receiver where the pistol grip attaches would have to be steel reinforced. Hell, on folding stock AKs the Russians decided the regular steel receiver wasn't strong enough and doubled up with 2x steel using a pistol grip reinforcement plate. All for a weaker clusterfuck of plastic and steel that would not be significantly less in weight than a regular stamped receiver.

Is that kit from gun parts Corp? I'll give you $10-15 for the cut receiver pieces.

The thing is that they'll need a special trigger guard rivetting jig.

Hah, I'd love to see that Yugo done, should've kept the grenade sights though.
>>30216713
>>30216820
Ah thanks for replying to it. Yeah you'll need a slant cut adapter, and then for the forearm you may need a retaining clamp depending on the model of the handguard. Once you have both that really opens up your options for adding different stocks and handguards.
Mine is a Krebs Custom handguard from Atlantic that was cerakoted Sniper Green. It's pricey, but I love the look of it and it comes with all the hardware needed to have it installed.
>>30219207
You sound like me. I was having problems zeroing my LPS scope the other day. I would get it in the neighborhood, but then do something to fuck it up.
I got it 'close enough' for now, but I'll have to try it again.
Fortunately I learned that the new clamp for it is rock-fucking-solid and does not need to be interfered with.
My 74 kit came with paint that is in good condition, should I just paint over it in the final product or tape up some parts?

Today I took a gamble for all poorfags. I will report back when it arrives.
http://m.ebay.com/itm/322050642035?_mwBanner=1
So I traded out my sheppards hook for a retaining plate like /akg/ recommended and it seems to have fixed my problem (i.e. my trigger pin doesn't fall out of my fucking rifle anymore) but there is still a few millimeters of play in my trigger pin. Is this normal? Will the rifle fired when I slapped the safety on again?
>>30224957
>>30224972
New retaining plate just installed tonight and will test fire this weekend
>>30224972
you are one stupid nigger, you know that?
Your axis pins go in from RIGHT to LEFT.
>>30224991
Don't fuck with him.
>>30224957
Theres going to be a bit of play and that's fine, just test the pin a bunch before.
>>30224991
Why you gotta be like that anon
>>30224972
crrraaaapppcoooo!!!!!!!
God I fucking hate those triggers.
Every newfag with a trash AK thinks they are great though.
>>30225024
play is not fine, his trigger pull will now be measurably worse.
Tell him to shim it up.
>>30225034
First thing I plan to do with this one is to swap it out with an ALG akt since I already have one in my other rifle.
>>30224986
Do you have a spot welder and some shim stock?
Could shim it up for less play.
>>30225044
By play I mean like 1mm of side to side travel. Not play that would influence trigger pull in any measurable way.
>>30224324
forked gas piston, forked around the magazine-well so they can still use it
>>30225058
I do not, if it is not a big deal I won't worry about it but I am paranoid after my last experience with it. The play is about 1mm side to side
Noguns here
would a AKS-74U be good for starter gun? can I even get one anymore since the import ban?
are there any other smaller carbine AKs in the civillian market?
>>30225087
It's literally a non-issue then.
>>30225102
Thank god, if I die tho I'm mailing you the retaining plate
>>30225092
Lurk more. You can get a second-hand Bulgarian SLR-104UR if you can find them. They're virtually identical to the AKS-74Us
>>30225092
I don't think it would be an optimal beginner rifle, you should start with a .22lr or shotgun imho.
>>30225118
I'll gladly take it, I have a few of those shitty crapco plates in my guns that I had to literally handfile in place. Rather it be the original wire retainer or the retainer plates, it's important to remember that all they're doing is being a adhoc replacement for something better that was already in the full auto rifes.
>>30225133
5.45 is a mild enough, flat shooting enough, and cheap enough round that I don't think it's an issue.
>>30225092
Unless you want to mess with NFA paperwork you're going to be restricted to using an arm brace or cheek rest instead of a real stock with a short barreled rifle. (pistol)
Here is my cheapo AR pistol with a Shockwave Tech. KAK Blade cheek rest.
It's probably doable.
>>30225165
Or... he can just get an SLR-104UR, chop the barrel, crown it, and get a muzzle extension that brings the barrel length to 16" and pin/weld it.
>>30225181
that is also a possibility, but permanently attached muzzle devices are so drab
>>30225092
>AKS-74U
The world don't work that way son
>>30225201
It's permanent in name only. It's not like you can't break/grind the weld and/or remove the pin once you want to SBR it.
>>30225092
You don't :^)
>>30216822
No, Make 90's are generally interchangeable with other x39 AK parts. Stocks from models that were made in other countries will need some modifications to fit, due to the longer stock tang on the Mak. A standard AK spring and guide should work fine.
>>30212389
Real talk, why the fuck don't WASRs have mag dimples? I mean I understand the "why", as in they're brought in as sporters with single stack mags but there are half a dozen other AK rifles which have and currently are being imported with mag dimples. So... what the fuck? I mean the WASRs would literally be flawless otherwise.
>>30225706
>I mean the WASRs would literally be flawless otherwise.
You answered your own question.
Unrelated, who makes good underfolders? I don't want that shitty milled abomination made by Arsenal.
>>30225872
I don't think they do it purely because they want to make a less appealing rifle.
>Unrelated, who makes good underfolders? I don't want that shitty milled abomination made by Arsenal.
The SAM7 under folders aren't bad but they're not the best. The N-PAP DF's are alright, otherwise you're looking at kit builds or older rifles like old Chinks and stuff
>>30225896
I don't doubt that the SAM7s are probably decent rifles but to autistic pseudo purists like myself they're pretty awful.
>N-PAP
I thought the PAP's were shit, is it just retards spouting memes again?
>>30225921
There was a batch of N-PAPs with some heat treating issues, otherwise they're bretty gud. Get an N-PAP DF and be happy
>>30213212

>>30212402
Can confirm, rs regulate mounts are amazing. pic related is my setup
>>30225706
Anyone with an actual answer?
>>30226102
I am tempted to do either this, or the Obzor.
>>30219260
Does that mean I can use ANY rustoleum color?
>>30225151
The problem is you need to get a SBR stamp for that.
>>30226667
Not if you don't have a short barrel faggot.
>>30226679
To be fair the slr-104ur is overgassed as shit with the 16" barrel, which also makes it kick harder than a normal 5.45 ak.
