Hey SSO sheathe anon, if you're around, I sent a reply to your burner.

>>34339236
I've always been curious on how individual guys over there choose their rifles/are given their rifles

Like do some of them also have AK autism and prefer certain models or whatever, like if someone would go out of his way for an underfolder or sidefolder or a rifle from a particular country, or if they just get what they get but if that's the case if they'd swap their rifle for another they'd prefer or whatever

Really makes me think, I've always wondered that

>>34339275
From what ive watched, side folders are prized over fixed stock, higher ranking individuals usally carry one. I love watching the ak in combat, it helps me understand why it is the rifle it is.

>>34339275
My guess; beggars aren't choosers.
But if a nicer or more appealing rifle were to come into their possession, they'd pass their rifle onto someone else.

I'm always tempted to take the scope off of mine, but can't stand to say goodbye to a scope slighted in that well. I become a 3-6" guy the second I don't use it.
It is one hell of a comfy and relatively light feeling gun without it though. Those stocks are amazing feeling with irons.

Gentlemen,

I've been making considerations for how I want to carry and store my Polish Undefolder.

I am debating between leaving one in the chamber or not.

I carry my handgun with one in the pipe always, but it had a firing pin block. My AK does not have a firing pin block, but since the firing pin is inert, my logic is that the hammer has to fall in order for a round to discharge.

I would like to carry one in the pipe on my rifle buy I want to get some opinions before i win a Darwin award.

Short of the hammer falling, I think the gun would have to drop muzzle down against a hard surface faster than the hammer normally actuates the firing pin.

I think I feel weird about it because of accidents I've heard of with people dropping long guns, particularly shotguns. I also heard of a guy overseas who apparently had the butt of his m4 get hit hard against the floor of a vehicle and it discharged. It's all hearsay and no one whose name I actually know.

I feel like in any situation where I have to use my rifle I won't want to pull the charging handle, I'll want to flip off the safety and go to work.

I have a full auto safety and I'm not sure if I can trust it.

My plan for testing my rifle for safety today is to unload it, cock it, and slam it against stuff to see if the hammer falls

What do you guys think? What condition do you carry your rifle? I currently carry my rifle condition 3.

>>34341341
Carry with a round in the chamber, store without a round in the chamber?

>>34341331
Good thing I don't have a shitty Sight Mark.

>>34341341
>>/r/ak47
Go

>>34341341
Holy shit, that lebbit spacing gets on my nerves.

>>34341341
if you have a semi-auto fire control group then the fire selector slipping upward too far (or if you ahve the dust cover off and move it upward) it will fire.

lift the fire selector lever away from the receiver with mild pressure, move it up and see if it slips over the top-cover. If it doesn't you're probably okay.

Keep one in the chamber.

Looking into buying my second AK. Ive been looking for a Yugo M70ab2 for 4-5 years and ive basiclly accepted the fact im not gonna find one. My lgs has a Yugo ABM for $800 whats everyones thoughts on this rifle? until recently i dident even know they existed.

What's the difference between a polytech and norinco AK?

>>34341478

You must not have looked that hard.
They were still readily available as recently as ~2 years ago.
As far as the ABM goes, not sure.
I know a guy who has one, but I've never shot it.
I'd say, keep looking for the AB2.
Don't settle on a gun you won't necessarily love.

it's lebbit spacing because I think they have to double space in order to separate paragraphs/ lines.

>>34341854
If I had the option to indent when posting a new paragraph I'd do that but I don't so I've always separated them with a space to divide them.

SLR 107-11 or WASR

What should I save my pennies for?

>>34341884
There's a difference between a line/sentence and a paragraph. Obviously there's no issue with paragraphs. It's when some writes one or two sentences and then has that space there. It's gross

>>34341888

>>34341900

I want an AK to shoot the shit out of, and I'm sure the WASR would fit that role perfectly. But seeing that they're 650-700 on GB, I can't justify spending that much on a WASR, when for ~150 more I could get an SLR.

You guys have AK bayonets?

I got this one for winning a "competition"/exam during my mandatory military service.
It's actually kind of funny, because these don't fit on our RK-62's, and you obviously can't buy AK's here. Still kind of cool.

abuse one and keep the other pristine

Alright, make sense.
The SLR is machined better and over all a better rifle, but is there anything I should look out for?
Also what does
>>34342054
Mean by 74 features? Intrigued by that.

>>34342084
I guess I just don't get the appeal. Maybe a high condition kit you dumped $2500 into just to experience something close to an issued rifle? I'd have zero problems putting mags through a boxed Valmet if I bought one but that's just me I guess

The only thing it's got is a 90 degree gas block.
It's nothing like the FR.

>>34342523
The gas hole in the gas block would not perfectly align with the gas port in the barrel in such a way that the gas tube would still fit correctly. The gas port in the barrel would have to be expanded so that it would align properly. It's not a big deal but it's not a completely straightforward swap either.

>>34342522
Any noticeable operating difference between this and a regular length 7.62 that you can feel?

>>34342599
Absolutely as far as handling goes. It's handier than you'd think it would be given only 3-4" of barrel are removed

Cheers and thanks I am awaiting a shipment of a 104fr that has been modified into a 105 clone that is pinned pending a SBR stamp.

How is recoil for you with less length on the barrel? I have short a friends Krink with brake/booster and man that thing is incredible.

>>34342619
I couldn't say for certain, my other 7.62 AK is a straight AKM so it's quite a bit lighter. The handling alone is worth it. 7.62 with that barrel length and a slav optic really shift the point of balance back over your hands. Subjectively it just feels like a lean mean weapon

Convince me not to pick up one of these

>>34342412
The question in the post I replied to was what 74 features. I answered that. I didn't know you were specifically asking about the 107-11 because that was only specified way up in the thread, not in >>34342100, >>34342054, >>34342010, or >>34341916. No need to be a smartass when you didn't ask what AK74 features the 107-11has, the question was what 74 features does the "SLR" have, sorry that I'm not fucking psychic and didn't realize you were asking about the black sheep of the SLR family, not the more common fr models. Jesus man fuck you for being a condescending little chickenshit cunt.

>paid for Rakurs Wednesday night

Honestly there's nothing more frustrating on the Files than sellers who cease contact after you pay them, whenever I sell something I PM the buyer when the item will be going out, when it does go out and with tracking, and if they don't get in touch with me when it arrives I'll contact them to make sure everything is good. It's really frustrating and annoying when you pay someone and they just stop talking to you and then eventually the item ends up in your mailbox/on your porch, especially when it's a few hundred dollars of stuff

Hey guys, I have an interest in aks, but I have a tism when my guns share ammo. I already got an sks so that leaves out 7.62x39. Whats a good ak74 or rpk in 5.45?

>>34344028
Why don't you want your guns to share ammo?

>>34344028
>Whats a good ak74 or rpk in 5.45?
A dead caliber.

Unless you can stock up 10k rounds in the next month or so to hedge against an import ban then don't.

>>34344045
wont 7.62x39 be just as dead if they ban the companies producing commercial 5.45?

>>34344045
stop with this dead caliber meme. The shits plentiful retard.

>>34344044
>>34344045
I can put my tism aside if that's the case. Is it really that uncommon online? I know practically no gun shops around here sell ammo for it.

Should I trade my Winchester 94 for a WASR? I already own a .308

>>34344065
Wolf isnt being affected by the Russian import ban and you can buy it online at 20-23 cents each, don't listen to these autists.

>>34344056
>wont 7.62x39 be just as dead if they ban the companies producing commercial 5.45?
Nope.
Because plenty of US producers make it, and it's a common enough caliber that US factories would step up to fill the void in order to cash in.

5.45 is uncommon enough among US gun owners that an importation ban wouldn't exactly cause a bunch of manufacturers to come running to replace it; at least not for a reasonable (sub 30 cpr) price.

>>34343535
>25 yrds
Nigga what the fuck is that.

>>34344083
So what's a good ak74 or rpk in 5.45 that's around? All the decent ones being named in thread and the pastebin are 7.62.

>>34344065
Neither are uncommon. I don't know why people are so keen on spreading this meme about 5.45 or x39 being so fucking rare, you can find them for like 25 cents a round anywhere online.

People are retarded.

>>34344087
don't forget how many countries make 7.62x39 besides Russia

>>34344093
vepr while they're still the same price or Arsenal. instead of asking these fags about ammo google buy 5.45x39 and you'll find shit tons of it online.

>>34344112
I figured that, I was just here asking about the aks and rpks that are around. I was just asking for clarification on what he meant.

>>34344112
5.45 has more than doubled in price in the last few years and when/if they ban the Tulskiy Patronniy Zavod factory from import it will double again if not more. there was already a scare about that happening a few months ago

They aren't banning ammo.

>>34344159
It doubled in price because 7n6 got hit with the ATF reclassification, which had nothing to do with sanctions. Commercial 5.45 has largely stayed the same price; only the once-super-cheap surplus has gone up due to rarity.

>>34344091

>been posting like this since usenet

I don't know about you, but 10,000 rounds of 5.45 isn't going to be enough to last the rest of my life unless I stick my 104fr in the back of the safe and only bring it out on really special occasions.

>>34344607
It would last a normal person 1-2 decades, especially if only used for sighting and hunting.

If you're the type to hit up a range and blast through 1,000 rounds in a day or go to the range once or twice a week then sure, buy more.

>>34344310
That poor sar ..... sombody take this away from you.

>>34344618
That's true, but most people who only take their rifles out to zero and hunt aren't buying 10,000 rounds of 5.45.

You can still find chink sks' for under $400 easily, but it sure as fuck won't be at Cabelas.
This is the same company that sells tRASh47s for $1k.

I know, it's just that I don't have the need right now. Plus I'd have to go get a renewed hunting license or something since my current ID doesn't have my current address.

>>34344825
kind of why I said 'fucking' 600, like it was a rediculous price. They sell 91/30s for 350 as well. But $450 for a brand new sks is not a bad deal, brand new without bayonet eh... I fucked up and didnt read the no bayonet part.

>>34344830
then you won't kick yourself for not getting it. That's not a price that i'd jump at and grab even if I wasn't looking for that rifle. That's at a price i'd spend if I wanted an sks.

my ak74 was built from a bulgarian parts kit.

I can't get the bolt apart to clean it in detail.

>>34344891
I've never gotten the bolt apart on any of my AKs, unless it's Romanian or something they're always too tight so I just give up.

Dad just gave me this thing. How do I fix it up? I want to make it as aesthetic as possible while retaining functionality.

For starters, I'll get it wood furniture and a repaint. you can't see in the pic but it's scratched as fuck. I also need a new dust cover with a rail that doesn't cut me when using the charging handle. Plus optics. What else?

PS: it's a WASR. I have no idea what it's worth and I was curious about what it'll cost to refurbish with the things I just mentioned.

Fiocci and PPU both sell brass cased 7.62x39. The Fiocci goes on sale at academy every now and then at around steel case prices. Domestic manufacturers aren't going to make a fucking dime off me if Russian imports cease.

what this guy said, cleaning rod, wood (romy wood would look nice on it and its not too expensive), and a slant brake. after that you got yourself a nice AK, keep it scratched mine has surface rust from previous owners and it just adds character. Rifle doesn't need optics, but if you really want it then do your research.

>>34345229

Noted, ty. Are you sure about the scratches? I personally don't think it'd looks any better or worse cleaned up, and if people respect a gun that shows external wear I'm all for it.

all im saying is a scratched or beaten up AK isn't anything new, and really I kind of like the look of them with a bit of wear, makes it seem like its been used other then sitting pretty in a safe. Either way you won't notice any difference in shooting it, it's all subjective. I still get compliments at the range for my wasr and you can tell it's far from perfect. Apart from the russian wood on mine and the russian bakelite magazine, we practically have the same rifle.

$650-700 is probably more reasonable. I paid $399 for mine a few months back but that seems not exactly the market price.

The thing to keep in mind about the SA is that it's a ban era gun, and the fit/finish is kinda shoddy, but all the parts were made on Soviet tooling and the barrel is an original hammer forged chrome lined barrel. That adds a bit of value too, even if it is unthreaded.

It also has a ar type stock adapter. Will I be able to convert it to a traditional sidefolder?

I've got an Obzor too, I just wanted something different to go with it and it was priced right

>>34346607
Nope just what the seller told me when I asked him. No info on them when I asked about them on the AK forum and searching through page after page of pictures of Russians in Syria I can't find any pics of them, so I'm starting to think they might be fake. Not 100% sure either way right now but not as optimistic as I once was on them being legit. No real biggie tho, I'm only out $52 if it's fake and that's nowhere near as bad as some of my other dumb unresearched AK purchases

I need a wooden AKM stock for my vepr fm11. Where to buy??? Prefer it match the color of my rpk handguards

Ok, I've looked through the buyers guide and was wondering if anyone here had an opinion on the RH-10? It's built in the Cugir factory and is priced just above a wasr at around 730-780. I like the idea of sbr-ing it at some point and i like the Magpul furniture. Has anyone heard anything about it's quality at all besides the like 1 page of reviews i get from Google?

>>34346658
If they're fake I still like the plum one I got. The brownish color is kinda cool. It's all about the thrill right?

>>34346724
Looks like the same exact thing as the M+M M10 except with magpul furniture this time, so if you want reviews, that's what you should look up.

It's basically a Wasr with a FSGB.

For overall wearing salt of the earth good ole boys who want you to know that they get down on the farm but they also drive $40,000 trucks and have $300+ coolers that are designed to hold ice long enough for hunting and fishing expeditions but they just use them for keeping beer cold. If you buy a yeti but don't put the window sticker on your lifted truck then you're fucking yourself because that's half of what you paid for.

>>34346912
Maybe be rid of the gay ass rail and maybe a better bipod option

>>34346973
Biggest reason why I finally caved on them now is because they're pretty cheap right now compared to when I first started seeing them, I've wanted a pair just to have and decided to bite the bullet for $65 a piece on these. Just a few months back they were $90 to $100 a piece, and I remember a while back seeing some sell at $140. With RU customs cracking down who knows, maybe they'll get harder to get and I want one of each while the price is low and while they're easy to get

For those of you who have AKs with side rails, how do you keep the receiver underneath them protected in the areas that are unpainted (i.e., around the rivets underneath that are covered by the rail)?

Do you just hit it with a spray of CLP along the gap?

>>34347718
Honestly it's fucked. You just have to keep hitting it with oil. Once rust starts forming in the space between the steels there's really not much you can do about it. It's the most obnoxious thing about AKs to me, because they have a lot of spot welded components where rust can form in the gaps.

>>34347739
That's what I figured. I noticed the rivets under my side rail were unpainted just now, Q-tipped them with some CLP which wiped off some brownish dirt, then oiled all along the border of the rail and used canned air to just hose it around the crevice. I got some more brownish gunk to come out, reoiled and resprayed, then it started coming out the same color as it went in, so I'm assuming it was just dirt from the assembly process and not rust. I highly doubt it was able to rust in the 5 days it took to get to me from the builder anyway.

Lol, maybe the "gunsmith" spilled his bud ice and didn't clean well enough before assembly

>>34347805
Yeah, that's me. I don't really have any other options but to keep that area oiled, I think. I do my best to keep my apartment at a very modest humidity level though, and I'm not exactly planning to take this rifle out into the elements, so I'm hoping I'll be alright.

>>34347848
That's pretty much it. Luckily the receivers are bead blasted and have capillary action with the oil. Just keep it oiled and it won't progress. And don't get too upset with Meridian over that, it's not standard procedure to paint the receiver before doing any riveting for most builders.

>>34347888
I'm not mad about it at all; the only way I could imagine having those parts actually painted would be to paint the receiver after riveting, thein painting it *again* once the side rail is bolted on so the area under the side rail is painted.

I double checked the area with a good flashlight just now; it's not rust, just some dirt from what I can tell. Looks about the same color as the areas on my Maadi where the Egyptians went "fuck it" with the paint. I'm just making sure I need to add this step to my preventative maintenance routine and I'm not just being paranoid.

Hey, guys, the ammo shipment I bought a few days before the Vepr ban finally came in. What is y'all's experience with Silver Bear 5,45, and how is the Hornady ammo for home defense? Better than Golden Tiger? Pic related.

Hopefully I get some decent offers

>>34348481
Why the fuck would anyone buy 4 Promags?

>>34348497
Its what the pros use.

Circle 10 AK has the same "range grade" plums for like $28 each, but there's no bulk discount. Legion got cleaned the fuck out over Father's Day.

If you're real desperate, I might need to sell a few plums and bakes this coming week, but I'm not sure if I will or not yet so don't wait on me.

they where free with gunn

>>34348508
In the trash they should go.

I'm straight chillin. No rushing for mags here.

Won't be getting my hands on the FM for at least a week. Between work and school I probably won't get a chance to shoot it for a month.

Magpul FDE AK. Is this a good looking gun? I was gonna make my WASR into one of these, the only thing the pic is missing is the cheap plastic FDE magazines I found l for like 6 bucks a pop.

Opinions on Flat Dark Earth in general? And why do people keep saying it doesn't look like an AK anymore?

Dont cut off the hand guard retainer, you will regret it.

>>34348766
Why?

>>34348520
for a range mag pmags are fine. only for range.

>>34348774
Because you will never be able to use the regular ak handguards.

>>34348796
Again.

>>34348796
Good thing I have a second AK I was gonna outfit in wood furniture

>>34348810
The zukov clamp affects accuracy.

>>34348841
Can't be too bad though. It's a magpul accessory for a damn AK, and I'm sure if it was an issue I'd see something about it online. Plus I found one on clearance for 60 bucks

>>34348856
Gross. Shit taste. Saged.

>>34348864
You did that to me earlier but here you're only saging the general teehee

Silver bear 545 has been good to go, I like barnaul ammo.
>how is the Hornady ammo for home defense? Better than Golden Tiger?
Yes, golden tiger is only god tier yawing fmj in 762x39. GT used a different bullet shape in their 545 lineup though and lost that air gap up front. 60gr bear 545 etc should yaw much better in flesh than gt 545, and I've experienced it's fast yaw in flesh taking out critters with bear, along with gt 762x39.

I'd love to imagine it does just blow shit back into your face. Helps encourage the dune coon battle doctrine of not using your sights.

She's a looker, Anon. I love the combo of black polly lower handguard with the Cheese Grater.
