This is about the best I can do for fitment on my stock on my new WASR. Is this good enough/standard for AKs or do I need to fuck with it further? The other side of the stock has less of a gap and I'm not really sure what to do from here

Is it okay to attach lights to the barrel or will ist significantly affect barrel harmonics? I don't really want to buy a rail.

>>33382570
Huh that might be annoying, still id leave it and buy more ammo and a Egyptian mag.

Reporting in.

I saw word of the Apex Romanian trigger kits. I am probably gonna get one for my Md. 63 as the original trigger parts were missing from the kit. Does it include the FA parts and can the hammer, trigger, etc. be readily installed in a Semi Only build?

>>33382618
Its your rifle, but you will be altering a factory rifle.

>>33382610
Already got five Egyptian mags, three of which are still sealed in their original wrappers. Someday I'd like to pick up a made in Egypt mag but that's expensive. For that much money id rather buy a Bosnian mag

>>33383076
Depends, can you inspect the C93 for canted sights, and put a few rounds through it?
C93s should be considered workable parts kits in general, but they were made with german parts kits so if it happens to be one of the proper builds you are going to want it, especially considering HK trigger pack options and the next 8 years.

>>33383076
>for a C93 Sporter?
I think the c93 is one of the cooler looking rifles out there. I love that german look.
I probably would personally, then turn around at some later date and get a proper 545 gun like an slr-104/5/7 or something.

Pretty set on 7.62x39 for a while, but I shoot 5.45 almost as fast as I buy it so I always feel like I'm running short

>>33383076
I personally wouldn't unless you're willing to potentially send it off to get it properly rebuilt as C93s are very hit or miss and willing to buy even more expensive magazines

I'd love an HK93 clone but they're just too much of a hassle with parts and mags in the US. Vector had an alright thing going with their clones until they went out of business. I really hope PTR comes out with an HK93 clone eventually as I would buy one in a heartbeat (if I actually had money and wasn't poor af rn)

I came up with two reasons why I should in my mind. It's a semi 5.56 and not an AR, therefor strange, and a 90s looking gun. Two things I like.

I came up with about 7 reasons why not to.

>>33383175
Iel I bought two of them at fleet farm back in late summer. Should have sold both of them before the election and bought an SLR. Both are sitting in their boxes still.

Planing on selling one and tricking the other out.

>>33383531
So what's a better replacement?

>>33383460
Yes in Glendale AZ

>>33383595
Yeah we have the same shit here in Nevada, buncha garbage AKs

Should I buy a Polish Tantal from Atlantic Firearms, or should I save my money and buy an Arsenal SLR-104?

>>33383700
I'd personally get the 104, but I'm probably just biased because I already own one

>>33383700
I think we are supposed to get a 5.45 version of the slr 107-11. That may be a option if your not interested in a folding stock.

>>33383076
>>33383076
>C93 Sporter

Put a plum grip on the Saiga and take that. Izhmash improved grip is uggo

5.45 plums and bake mag prices seem to keep going down. its really tempting me to get a slr104

>>33385035
I thought about swaping the izhmash grip to the sar. Tho id put the polish fat grip on instead.

>>33385828
thats a very personal question.

>>33385828
7.62x39. is man's cartridge. turns cover into concealment.

>>33385828

>>33386206
Thanks. I just got my AKfiles account approved last week but ain't even been on it yet.
>>33386213
I think I'm still gonna hold onto the grip. I actually really hate standard AK grips. Too damn small. But I just don't want magpul on my AKs. I got enough of it on my ARs.

>>33386384
Ah well, worth a shot

If you change you're mind I've got a handful of red ones with no use. I've seen people on FAL Files niggerrig Magpul grips to FAL lowers and I wanted to try it for myself to see what it's like

>>33385828
I like both in different ways but suggest 7.62 for a variety of reason. 7.62 is a really nice intermediate cartridge. My AKM would be the last AK I sold if I were forced

>>33386804
The stock is pinned open,bullet button still good to go on pre 2017 guns. New rifles you get in 2017 have to be sold from ffl's featureless with no bullet button. Theres still no way to register guns from 2016 so you can keep them as you bought them with bb but once 2018 hits you have to either register it as saltweapon or make featureless. This one will be featureless but I can keep it like this for the year of 2017

What's that meme of a short black South African guy with a long knife talking about killing whites or something. His spirit is inside of me, a tumble cycle in my gut of gristle, bone shards, and strange cuts of pure meat, and a cichlid fishes head

AKs require more engineering and proper heat treatment.
ARs are mostly aluminum and milspec parts that can be outsourced. Not many AR companies, or any tha I can think of actually make every part of the rifle. Most barrels come from a handful of companies, all the small pieces are made by other companies, all the small AR "builder" has to do is make recievers and then put parts together. That is if they're not just buying 80% lowers and putting parts together and selling for 200% profit.

A product like an AK isn't a single shop process, but a whole chain of process and infrastructure. A healthy flow of capital is another critical component, and one the AK in America is lacking. It's not that America can't build one, just every process would be largely custom ordered. There's a lot of intellectual property that died in this country along with our 1940s tech factories. Just rambling in bed hope that's something to chew on

>>33387356
Ok. Cool. I'll email you tomorrow. About to pass out now

AKs are sheet metal/milled steel. Sheet metal at that quantity and heat treatment need massive presses which requires a lot of space. Also these machines need an operator to oversee the process for QC, then assembly, riveting, QC, pressing, QC, etc.

ARs are machined aluminum which is much easier on the mill/cutters. When ARs were made by machinists you still had the QC process because there can be human operator error. Now days CNC machining is mainly dominant, you can buy a decent HAAS mill for 20-30K or a 5 axis for like 60K. Basically now you design the part, throw in a block of aluminum, run the mill and an hour later pops out a receiver.

Simply, AKs were well designed for technology 60 years ago that hasn't aged well that require a large set of institutional knowledge.

ARs were difficult to manufacture 50 years ago but the process for machining has become incredibly simple over time, reducing the cost and entry to market difficulty. My mom could CNC a receiver now.

Is there any sort of clamp system or way to put a flashlight on an AK with wood handguards that isn't tape? I'd like a light but don't really want to add rails.

Zip-ties

>>33387578
>>33387535
or just regular cable ties

I just yanked my Pyramid WASR's selector switch out to clean the rust I could see on the bottom of it through the receiver keyhole. Receiver looks fine, but the axis of the selector was rusted and the more I took off, the more I noticed rust under the shitty Maadi paint. Got most of it off now though.

That said, is it normal for the selector to need to swing down and then back up to remove instead of just coming straight up and out with the FCG still installed?

>>33387373

An Echo93 Mk65 light mount is fairly unobtrusive.
I think you can even mount it in the gap in between the upper and lower hanguard if you don't want to drill the 2 holes to mount it.

Mounting a light with just a clamp only system is pretty much relegated to shotguns, as far as I know.

Screw the screws into the mount, which is threaded, to the depth of the width of the side of the handguard (hope that makes sense)
Hold it in place, and reinstall the gastube.

Anyone here use a Vickers BFG sling on an AK or other rifle? I'm short a few slings and was thinking of trying one out on my SAR-1 or M1A

How do you fix AK stock wobble? Just wrap the stock connecting parts in electrical tape or something and layer it enough until it stops?

>>33388377
I've got one on my AR. I love it and plan to get one for my Scorpion as well. It's much simpler than the VTAC sling people like to compare it to, and cheaper than the HSP D3 sling that is mostly the same config.

They make an AK-specific version that uses BFG's universal wire loop to mount to the front sling loop on an AK, so that's the route I'd suggest going.

It's like sex with a beautiful woman (or man, whatever you dig) every time you pull the trigger.

Grandpa's land that parents are renting to farm, mine's a few miles away and flat as a board. Not very good for shooting unless I pushed up a berm.

Also, I prefer dicking around to actual paper shooting anyway so I don't need much distance to have fun. Steel is my "paper" shooting. It makes shooting for groups fun.

Yes sir. Kinda a bitch, but definitely not as bad as other retaining clips.

>>33389932
After you remove it, buy a retaining plate. $4 on the AKfiles.

>>33389932
in the future, I would suggest adding a retaining plate to an order you are making and getting rid of the spring. plates are so much easier to deal with and IMO more reliable at holding your pins in place.

Wolff extra power recoil spring should help, they make them stiffer than stock so you can tame high recoil impulse on overgassed rifles.

Thanks, maybe I'll put a rubber buffer pad in the back too. Really excited to go hunting with this, I'd never admit it but I like how short mags look, banana mags look goofy.

Don't use a buffer. It's not needed and will only fall apart and make a mess in your rifle.

>>33392412
Worst comes to worst I get to use my air compressor. My worry is that it might cause jams.

>>33392433
An unnecessary rubber buffer falling apart in your rifle will increase the odds of malfunctions. It's an AK, it has a violent action that's built to handle the abuse.

>>33392460
I meant more of it short stroking, the action is violent but I'm not into rough housing with my guns if I can avoid it. Besides the abuse I already put them through but this is for science.

>>33392493
If you're worried about short stroking then don't add a piece of material that'll decrease the distance of your BCG.

>>33392511
I know but I'm more worried about the bolt peening things about than clearing jams if they even happen.

>>33392368

No problem. I've been thinking of some heavy loads to use in my AK's too, I have an AK-Builder 9" pistol build in particular that I think could benefit from heavier grain cast loads since it doesn't have as much barrel to build enough velocity for hunting type ammo, most of which is borderline for expansion in the AK as it is.

Do not use a recoil buffer.

Some reading on heavier grain 7.62-

I'm not so sure I would want to do it with anything heavier than 170gr unless you go to a cast bullet-

I want to get a G2 tapco one because I heard there ok. If they ever made a reactive trigger for the AK man those will sell like hookers on half off blow job day.

Magpul actually isn't that bad. Looks are subjective, and I understand the purist standpoint but their handguards and grips are comfy and don't look that bad at all. Had a Zhukov hg on my WASR. I liked the looks but it had two major problems: the aluminum clamps on the steel barrel does cause a noticeable loss in accuracy, and it adds significant weight to the front. Add in the fact that you have to lop off a part of the rifle that's a motherfucker to have reinstalled and it's plain to see why that hg is one to stay away from. I wouldn't use their stocks unless the Zhukov went to a fixed stock model. Magpul AK grip is their best product and is comfy. I regret selling mine and may get another one for my SAR which I don't care about as much to be autistically "correct"

if thats a polytech and all you want is a regular bayonet, buy a different ak. Or you could sell it to someone who appreciates spikers and buy 3 good aks with it.
