Letter of authenticity from Colt and common sense. People were skeptical at first but now nobody doubts their legitimacy.

>>33927044
The trunnions are riveted and then painted with the rest of the gun all at once, as for the rest I don't know. Obviously the button is not painted. There are other posters who probably could've helped you with that.

Only semiauto I own is a M1a, want to buy a WASR. Tell the truth how bad are they? Just want something to hose cheap ammo. Will the WASR hold up to sustained mag dumping?

If ordering small perhaps you are G2G, however check pochta.ru with tracking number and if it is in RU customs for over 48hrs you have an issue in my experience.

Your average AK barrel has a hardness of I think like 23-25 RC.

The Classic Arms AMD-65/AMD-63 builds have barrels with a hardness of about 5 RC.

>>33929004
What years/stamps how much

>>33928996
I have it without the internals right now. I bought a mag that came with a metal follower and keeper and a cut-down spring that I could put in there if I wanted to.

>>33928834
I will give you $9,000.99 for this magazine

Fucking WHY?

>>33929283
They're fine how they are.

>>33929283
They could probably be shot as-is.
But just sandpaper it, and use that ammo first since you'll definitely scrap off more lacquer and make it less resistant to rusting in the future.

>>33929283
Just dispose of it, you really want to risk messing up your gun due to shooting rusty and corroded ammo for $30 worth of 7n6?

>>33929283
Pull out all the rounds, pour all the powder in a pipe like device, stick a proper fuse in it, seal it off, and enjoy federal prison

>>33929300
do meant the gap or the puzzle piece trunnion?

>>33929300
Isn't that just the little space the dust cover slides into so you can slip it over the recoil spring during disassembly?

>>33928860

>>33929342
The puzzle piece my dude.

>>33929351
nah nigga, thats the actual rear trunnion these things habe.

>>33929351
I'm referring to the piece of shit puzzle piece tang.

>>33928531
I'm thinking the 7.62 will make for a nice saiga "104" barrel. It's nice that it's not drilled, just needs 22mm and the hand guard retainer channels afiak

>>33929373
>habe
Studying for German final exam and i catch myself thinking in Germna kek, typing in it too.

>>33929366
The puzzle piece trunnion PSA uses is designed so that they can use different styles of stock with the same trunnion. PSA either has or is planning to have various types (wire folder, poly folder, fixed) or attachments for the puzzle piece.

>>33928692
>Do you get laid?
tfw haven't gotten laid in 25 years because I'm still a pathetic virgin

>>33929395
die kleine probleme my dude.

PSA have their ak for 600 free shipping. I'd like to see another 5k round vid of their AK.

Are they actually working with DDI yet?

>>33929411
For six bills though why not just buy a WASR

>>33929400
Yeah and it's fucking retarded. Chances are they'll discontinue the PSAK47 before they even get around to the stock options

>>33929411
They're not worth it yet. Also I'm pretty sure DDI isn't making shit. Haven't seen any of their own AK's in stock so whatever they're "working" together has amounted to, who knows. The parent company is probably stripping them of everything they can.

>>33929443
Show me a WASR $600 shipped.

I mean, I wouldn't buy a PSA AK, but show me.

>>33929493
Have you gone through armslist or your local gun shops?

Here's the kicker

The krink barrel seems off. The chrome on the muzzle makes it look like this is a cut down barrel. It doesn't extend over the crown quite like I would expect it to.. looks like every other CL chopped barrel I've seen. Not happy about that because it was the main reason I bought this barrel. I'll check the twist rate when I get back home again. Not too happy with this one.

Not sure if this is a troll of me or somewhat serious. If serious go find the next niche market and capitalize. If a troll, I still have my day job, granted this was a nice side income.

Sounds like a troll and I wish it was, but its true, I have menial part time job basically to get me out of the house for a few days each week, not worth he money but being bottled up inside at home all day was starting to drive me towards insanity.


I liked getting mags in, looking at them and cleaning them up, wasn't even making a lot at all.

>>33932095
>just sold a decent chunk of my 5.45 mags

At the very least I'm still sitting on about 20 true blacks so I'll either be set with those for a bit or if in the future they go up and I need money I'll have extras to sell for a few bucks

Just last month I was gonna dump a bunch of money to buy another batch of a few dozen true blacks and plums but decided against it. I wish I would have done it. If it truly is over then like Trannyward says it was fun while it lasted; at the very least my guy in Russia was cool and it was nice getting to know him through emails over the past year or so

Well I am sorry for your struggle and at the same time those who bought and resold for the bottom margin started the situation we are in. I don't lay blame but it is the perfect situation to show how having open distribution to the masses ruins a market.

Once every tom, dick, and jane jumped in and started under cutting each other to be top dog it was the death bell. It was and is like watching penny stocks.

I agree 100% with you, it is and was very cathartic and enjoyable to go through each mag from arrival to sale. There are other niche markets, just need to find them!

There is a whole world out there, find something to start bettering yours. Small changes amigo.

>>33932282

are some guys really out 5-10k?


It could have worked if people bit of a bit of the pie nice and easy, keeping batches small but manageable.


the guy on akfiles with literally about 500 74 mags all stacked up and layed out contributed to this.

>>33932307
Multiple guys are I am afraid. Everyone got comfy and cozy and just started sending money hand over foot.

Yeah buying in bulk flags things faster but the downward spiral in pricing/ the availability to the masses made it so your average joe could buy 10x mags at $10-15 a pop and resell for $20-25 where as 6+ months before they sold for 35+

Over all a perfect story of fuckery to changes things up quite drastically. There will be other sources I am sure but not like we have seen in the last year, at least not for some time.

>>33932345
It's certainly possible that this is a temporary thing, caused by who knows what. I'm talking to a Russian acquaintance right now who's telling me there's been a recent rash of Russian Post seizing things like PS4s, "spy" cameras, cell phones, etc., claiming they could be used as "cryptographic devices."

If something kicked off the FSB and has the Russian Post searching for shit like PS4s for not having "greenlit serial numbers," of course they're gonna seize mag shipments because they're illegal exports without question.

>>33932517
TUMBLING DOWN

>>33932603
so what
are you suggesting that customs are cracking down on something else and the mags are collateral?

>>33932635
Yeah, that's certainly what it sounds like. Russian customs is run by the FSB, so if the FSB is snooping around for espionage equipment coming in through the mail (or going out), of course they're gonna hammer any mag shipments they find. Doesn't help that so many stateside buyers were being less than subtle about their quantities.

>>33931997
Danke schon

>>33932655

But how are they finding them?


its impossible to open every package for a customs inspection, it would take months to receive anything, what's happening is every mother and their dog has been reselling mags from Russia, and customs knows what to look for when the parcels are Xrayed.


they aren't magically singling out and getting lucky opening packages of mags.

>>33932517
Yeah I never saw close to those prices...you had the winning horse in the race while it lasted. I hope you killed it while it was there. No shame in making money my friend.

>>33932603
This is what I am hoping for but I would rather think the worst and it get better than the other way around. I got fucked playing penny stocks, I don't want to ever be holding bags again and that is what I am seeing currently.

Regardless of the cause we are here. I am talking to lots of panicked people on the US side. I would love to hear more RU input. What I hear from there is also not sounding good. I have a package that began this mess for me from feb 9th.

>>33932700

then "held for export Customs Inspection"

>>33932696
If I had to guess, x-rays and checking packages with high declared values. I have to wonder how many packages with smaller quantities are getting hit; right now it sounds like it's mostly packaged with dozens upon dozens of mags in them.

Military Maks were never made without fixed sights, but Baikal IJ-70 export Maks came with adjustable "target" sights in the '90s to circumvent the non-sporting purpose firearm ban.

So what does a Biakal Mak run $ wise? Is the only difference the sights otherwise? I am a total newb to the Mak game. I bought it out of pure want, last gun I did so with was a 92fs and that turned out shit.

I have much higher hopes for this and for the price worse case I sell it at cost or + a bit of $.

>>33934854

Eyeballing the twist rate of this "krinkov" barrel is way harder than I thought it would be

>>33934885
>eyeballing the twist.
I honestly wouldnt even know how to go about doing that, is there another way you could measure?

>>33934739
Oh nice. I was looking at one but I chose the radom instead. What are you using that on?

>>33934962
If are unsure of the twist rate of the barrel, you can measure it yourself in a couple of minutes. You need a good cleaning rod with a rotating handle and a jag with a fairly tight fitting patch. Utilize a rod guide if you are accessing the barrel through the breech or a muzzle guide if you are going to come in from the muzzle end. Make sure the rod rotates freely in the handle under load. Start the patch into the barrel for a few inches and then stop. Put a piece of tape at the back of the rod by the handle (like a flag) or mark the rod in some way. Measure how much of the rod is still protruding from the rod guide. You can either measure from the rod guide or muzzle guide back to the flag or to a spot on the handle. Next, continue to push the rod in until the mark or tape flag has made one complete revolution. Re-measure the amount of rod that is left sticking out of the barrel. Use the same reference marks as you did on the first measurement. Next, subtract this measurement from the first measurement. This number is the twist rate. For example, if the rod has 24 inches remaining at the start and 16 inches remain after making one revolution, you have 8 inches of travel, thus a 1:8 twist barrel.

>>33935186
I don't lurk here much. How are you putting that Vityaz together? Where'd you get the receiver? Are you gonna put an extremely long barrel on it or SBR it?

>>33934962
>>33934997
I'm going to try that tomorrow.

Here's how I figured it: It's an 8.25" barrel, but the rifling is shorter than that. If I follow one groove from beginning to end, and it makes a full rotation, then the barrel couldn't possibly be 1:8. It just logically follows that the twist rate would have to be faster.

I thought the barrel would be short enough that I could follow one groove from beginning to end, but it's too hard.

Awww your still trying to justify how your run of the mill rifles are special. They aren't. Enjoy being bitter. Good night sweetie.

Why do you put so much care into the internet? It's the fucking internet and a web based message board not me kicking your dog and cursing your family in front of you. Grow up. If me being an asshole here is making you freak the out you are not ready for the real shit show of life. Once again how old are you? I imagine under 21. Get some thicker skin and learn to ignore something you dislike. This for the 100th time is not a safe space for you or the others.

Reddit is far more civil than this place.

Fug.
>It's would be #298

How did nobody catch that?

>>33936100
No one is putting as much care into this as you are. You're literally responding to fragmented sentences of "please stop shitting up the thread" with a paragraph of "I CAN BE A FAGGOT IF I WANT"

Yea obviously you're allowed to act like a faggot, but it brings down the quality of the general. You're basically getting into a boat with the rest of us and then throwing a bucket of water around going "IT'S THE OCEAN LOL WHY YOU SO MAD ABOUT GETTING WET" I've had you filtered for weeks, I'm pretty sure you're not gonna stop acting like an ornery 12 year old faggot since you enjoy the attention, but don't act like you're some sorta tier above. I'd prefer 3 other anons who sporadically contribute than seeing a dozen posts every thread with people telling you to stop being a faggot

And it really is sad that this is the only interaction you have with people. I'd say don't respond to me either since I'm gonna continue having you filtered when I'm off mobile but we all know you'll respond anyways

Nobody cares

The adjustable sights do kinda look like ass desu

>>33932139

>it look like this is a cut down barrel

That's what I'm thinking too. The K-Var description on the Krink barrel says 1:7 twist, just like the standard AK-74 barrel.

A bummer for sure but better a Krink profile barrel than nothing.

>>33936195
Yeah but they're not that bad. Ive got a set of aftermarket fixed sights that I haven't bothered to install yet
