Hey guys I just bought my first AK a few days ago, the store clerk told me I need to use different cleaning materials to clean the AK then I would my AR-15's and what not. Is this true? If it is what do you guys use to clean your AKs.

I barely ever clean mine, but I just use 12ga brush and boresnake in the gas tube.
Otherwise the rest is pretty standard spraying with remoil, wiping off, and boresnaking. I have a set of picks too, but don't use them unless stuff is caked on especially hard somewhere.

>>33822498
Where did you buy it

>>33821838
Well, your run of the mill AR-15's jags aren't gonna fit as intended with the AK-47/M and AK-74s, due to bore size. I got lucky and had a cleaning kit and rod that fits perfectly for everything for my saiga AK-74.

Otherwise, it's gonna be the same deal cleaning. Clean the metal with Hoppes or something similar, and lube the metal parts with gun oil, especially where there is metal-to-metal contact.

Wilson shoals WMA. Banks county.

I used to go there. That place aint as good as it used to be. It's more fudd now. Need a license and cant shoot fast. And it's only 75m
I know a guy in Winder that lets me shoot on his land but there's not much range. Less than 100m
I want to find someplace to reach out to 300m - 500m. But that just doesnt seem to exist anywhere in GA

>>33823415
Yeah. I kinda am not really all that impressed with anymore. I may try Wolf Creek or Charlie Elliott and see how they are.

Back to my Ty Jester question in the previous thread.


It was dropped to me when I bought pic related. Bulgarian AK74 supposedly built by ex-Arsenal builder Ty Jester. Paid $550 and it looks cerakoted. Got the rifle, a midwest ind rail, a tapco shit mag, and a nice circle 10 bulgy. All matching including the firing pin.

>SN ends in 069 so all the parts say 69 on them
>kek

>>33823705
Wolf, from what I gather, has a wide standard deviation in terms of muzzle velocity. Not sure about golden tiger, but I'd imagine it to be better than wolf.

So it comes down to, do you just want to shoot for shooting sake, or try and get consistency?

>>33823771
Did you pick this up off Armslist in Georgia?!

>>33823705
Well, Rob at AKOU just did some testing and golden tiger had a pretty high standard deviation, which means the speed of the bullets is not very consistent. So this will affect accuracy.
Wolf actually tested better than GT, so I'd say get that.
As for home defense it depends. Are you in an apartment? 5.45 will most likely go right through a person, so if you have neighbors you may want something else.

>>33823778
>Wolf, from what I gather, has a wide standard deviation in terms of muzzle velocity. Not sure about golden tiger,

Check out rob's video. Wolf was a lot better than GT.

>>33823778
I really just want to shoot the rifle, but I feel like I should at least get some Golden Tiger while it's available to try it out.

>>33823705
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TGtkwZPNks&t=0s
I know that you were referring only to 5.45 when asking about GT but id say go for it.

>>33821838
.223 bore brush will work just fine
any fucking lube/solvent will work just fine

clerk was trying to sell you extra stuff

>>33823783
In Minnesota but yes on Armslist. It looks cerakoted to my eyes as the finish is much much harder than the standard "black paint" finish that comes off easily.

>>33823795
>Wolf was a lot better than GT.

whoops. it was Brown Bear, NOT wolf, in his video.

>>33823795
>>33823828

Also, Rob was testing 7.62x39, so hard to tell if the quality of GT 5.45 will have similar results or not.

>>33823795
Rob tested using 7.62x39, not 5.45x39 though. I remember he did release a video comparing Wolf to 7n6, but I cannot find it for the life of me

>>33823870
This is true but id venture a guess and say he has a 5.45 video on the way.
Plus there are quite a few tests on 5.45 ammo that people have done and posted on the AK files under the ammo section.

Or is that just blue electrical tape?

So is it easier to start with say a m92 pap and get it SBR'd or to start with a rifle and get the barrel cut?

>>33825148
Cutting barrels is pretty straight forward, and now you can shoulder braces outside the closet so I'd say it's a wash except M92 a shit

>>33825148
Depends on what type of SBR youre trying to make.
If Krinkov? just get a rifle and cut it

It's not really normal because on a factory AK the plastic handguards are made oversized and press fit into the receiver so it's tight. All you can really do is shim out the handguards and try and make it tighter. Seems pretty annoying to have it move back and forth like that.

>>33826950
It was definitely not past the 70's but I don't know the year of the transition.

How to zero AK?

>>33827178

For the Sider to work as intended there are 2 ways to do it correctly.


1. Official soviet method, 100m on the #3 setting, aim at bottom edge of target, adjust until bullets land 6" above aim point


2. 100M on #1, zero point of aim= point of impact.

>>33827178
Yes

>>33827178
set to 100 meters(1 on the slide)
go to 100 meters
shoot gun.
adjust until zeroed

After that, when you go to farther ranges (let's say 200 meters!) and you set your slider to 2, guess what? It'll be adjusted for the new distance. Neat how that works huh?

>>33827192

This really is the only way, anything else the slider will not be calibrated.


100m on #1 is for aiming Point of aim= point of impact


the soviet method of 100m on setting #3 was for a belt buckle hold.
Mosins,SKS's,AK's all were zeroed the same exact way. 100M on #3 with a 6 o clock hold.

>>33827171

Makes sense, because you'd think they'd be competent enough to keep their firearm inventory and bound-book matching just in case of an audit.
That said, I've lost all interest in what they potentially have.

you have autism bro?

The hinge and sling swivel components on my US made 4.5mm polymer folding stock keep getting light rust on them. No other part of the rifle or stock is getting any rust. Anyone else have this issue? Any easy way to deal with it? I've been having to oil and brush those parts about once a month to keep any new rust forming. I'm thinking of just slapping some black paint on the problem parts because it's getting annoying.

I don't think that's beyond a reasonable request.
Hell, if he cut it just a tad too small and pressed something through to roll the edges or hand rolled them it'd look correct.
Shouldn't be too difficult for someone with a full shop to come up with a solution.

You should seriously consider making a list of all the stuff you'd want a builder to do in order to properly convert your SGL to a 104.
Assuming skill, and money were not a factor.

I think that's it. The only thing that's really impossible is adding the chrome over the crown. That's why I don't really like cutting down chrome lined barrels. The chrome should extend over the crown.

How (il)legal would it be to import the parts one by one and make it into a semi auto and 922r compliant rifle? It looks like the receiver and trunnions and stuff are the same as a 74, so really you'd just need the bolt/gas system and maybe a barrel.

>>33833583

That's 90°, it just looks different, the gas port is still drilled at 90

>>33833631
>That's 90°, it just looks different, the gas port is still drilled at 90
This.
But I swear I heard it was some odd angle like 87.5 degrees or something. But maybe that is a "90 degree" block's actual angle.

>>33833544
I was thinking of doing that or just buying a Romanian parts kit and changing out what parts I can and keeping the rest as spare parts or something.

Hey im a 6.8tard wanting an AK patern gun, any suggestions of something larger than a 5.56 but smaller than a 7.62?

That IS the only option. Get it or don't.

>>33833687
Fuckkk, i was hoping for an AK74 looking one not a full on DMR...

>>33833681
That's pretty much it.

>>33833699
Is there conversion kits? like new barrel, bolt and mag that could work with a 5.45/7.62 version?

>>33833699
If not ill just get an AKX-9 or consider a 5.45...

>>33833656
You may be thinking of the true angle of 45 degree gas blocks, which is actually closer to like 65 or something. You may be right, but I imagine it would be much much easier to drill everything at right angles.

>>33833712
You don't really do that with ak platforms. Whatever caliber you buy is what you're going to shoot. Reason being the barrels simply don't swap out, the mags wells are cut to take one caliber mag, and there are different type bullet guides that must be installed. You will most likely do conversion work on a vepr but that will he barrel compnenets, trigger, ect...

>>33833595
45 degree cut leaves a very thin part of the barrel

>>33833441
Do you like watching your girl get fucked by other men?
If not, get a pure rifle and wear down the finish yourself through honest use.

>>33833804
well shit.... next question should i go for a 5.45 or AKX-9, keep in mind i shoot for fun not for practicality but i do want accuracy and reliability. AKX-9 would be for fun but cost effective but sure the 5.45 has range but its not as cheap to shoot. so what should i pick?

>>33833822
Your first ak should be in either 5.45 or 7.62
Both about the same price but 5.45 could die at anytime.

>>33833822
If you want something for fun, get 7.62. 5.45 is fun but mags are more expensive. You can find some good deals in the used market and surplus mags run around $10

>>33833898
Id rather a 5.45 because of the "wow can i shoot that?" factor and 30 cal isnt my favorite. i have a few 7.62s and really they are more for practical than just shooting for fun

>>33833850
what do you mean die any day? like they stop preduction soon?

>>33833920
OK

>>33833931
so what is a good brand AK74 then but less than 1800 usd? the less expensive the better please

>>33833920
K. Just check the paste bin for what to avoid. 5.45 is a great caliber.

>keep in mind i shoot for fun not for practicality but i do want accuracy and reliability
Fun is my #1 priority.
My first ak was in 54r, and in today's market, it would have been a 308. It's only 35c/r for noncorrosive ammo after shipping and fun as hell to shoot. And there's lots of higher quality ammunition options if you need to have it.
>>33833850
>Your first ak should be in either 5.45 or 7.62
I'd never say you have to start in any particular caliber.
But 762x39 is a really nice middle ground that has a lot of the mud busting potential of bigger stuff, that fun recoil, and is absolutely fine to 400 yard steel clanking. Objectively, I think a 556 ak is a better choice than 545, but subjectively, I like 545 a lot more more.

>>33833942

I'm with you on that, mag changes with a 7.62x39 rifle and dong are harder than without. they seem like a good idea on a 5.45x39 rifle tho, less mag curve.
