Is that a one-off modification or are their manufacturers that make M203s that can mount onto AKs?

>>29856624
Just run he border on a dirt bike if Mexicans can cross our southern border Canada can't be that hard.

>>29856641
I've considered it but I don't really have the time right now and the company that sells/was selling the Tula deacts won't sell to you in person, so I would have to find someone who already owns one and buy it from him or find an address where I can have one shipped after purchasing online. I would be more inspired if the kits weren't so fucked up but not much is salvageable anyways.

Buddy of mine has an unfired pre-ban Norinco Type 56 AK in 5.56

What does /akg/ figure it's worth?

>>29856760
What are you getting? Stock, forearm, gas tube, gas block, front sight, pistol grip, muzzle device and trigger guard?

I want an optic for my SLR104. I'm looking at either an Obzor, one of the Russian tune red dots, or another Aimpoint (which is what I currently use on my SLR when I want an optic as I just take it off my AR)

The aimpoint will be the better red dot sight, but just how much better is it than say a PK01? My big thing is that if something goes wrong with the PK01 I'm screwed whereas Aimpoints can be fixed.

The Obzor is very appealing because of its lack of electronics the only part that has a life on it is the low light tritium reticule at 12 years. The whole prism optic thing seems really neat, too. But just how is the longevity of the Obzor?

If I had to pick a Russian optic it would be the Obzor over the PK01 simply because it's different and rather cool.

tl;dr Obzor or proper Western red dot for my SLR104?

Just finished my grips to go along with my SLR-107. By the way I'm the anon that stripped the finish off my rifle before I shot it once and refinished it myself. There was no rust. Not sure if I was lucky or those other two guys just got fucked. I took it out shooting and mag dumped 4 mags and though the gun did get hot nothing happened. Do you guys think I avoids the problem because of the finish I did myself or what?

>>29857069
The issue was the parkerization process and never the paint. The paint is not much different than what's on Russian guns.

You sure it's not a Type 84S?

>>29856975
Depends on what you want. I think the Obzor is cool as fuck, but I would never buy one unless I was trying to recreate a certain build. They're expensive and, compared to most Aimpoint options, worse all around. If you want something that looks pretty on the AK and functions decently, then go with the Obzor. If you're fine for trading functionality for the ugly look of an Aimpoint on an AK, then go with the Aimpoint.

Unfortunately they're on fuckbook. I got to looking again though and it appears to just be a 74 clone with an RPK barrel, so I'll pass. Maybe if they did it right and had the proper receiver, and trunnion I'd pick one up.

They both have "virgin" underfolders, I believe. (Bottom right)
There are plenty of other ways to SBR either.
More than a few guys just drill and tap the back plate and use an ACE style folding mech and a manticore triangle.
Beyond that, most SBRing will be way more involved.

Snake oil. Get one without the retarded hold open feature, or rivet one on yourself.

>>29863140
Yeah if you want a fixed stock or a 100 series side folder, it's going to be more work.

>>29863140
Yeah.
Those guns in their traditional forms were both underfolders.
If you wanted a 100 series side folder, it would require significant changes, not only to the trunnion but the receiver as well.

>Are these bolt-hold-open safeties at all worth it?
They're nice if you have a range that forces you to have your bolt to the rear when the range is cold. That's about it.

>>29863179
>Get one without the retarded hold open feature, or rivet one on yourself.
>rivet one on yourself

You mean cut right? Because the part that actually holds it open is just a notch in the safety lever.

Related to this, but I'm on the fence between an Obzor and Aimpoint PRO. The Obzor has the whole cool Eastern AK optic thing going for it and will look nice and proper with the rifle, and collimating optics are awesome as they have no need for batteries, but the Aimpoint PRO is an Aimpoint and comes with everything great that comes with Aimpoint and is about the same price. I've been on the fence with these two for months and months.

Jim Fuller unironically believes 5.45 Krink barrels MUST be 1:6.3" twist or the rifle WILL keyhole no matter what per their "testing." I know this because he said it to my face.

I think he's good, but he's not the end all of AK knowledge in the US. He also has a funny repeat customer base that form something of their own social following, which is a little weird, but there's weirder firearms groups out there.

Is there any reason you can't/shouldn't use a full auto safety selector on a semi auto ak?

I always see people talking about modifying them to be semi auto but they never give a reason why.

Without a full auto trigger group/sear the full auto selector doesn't do anything different than a semi auto one, right?

IIRC its because you can make the rifle go band if the switch goes further than it should.

>>29865175
When you disassemble the rifle, the full auto safety will cause the hammer to drop. Other cases are if you flick the safety up too hard and it jumps past the dust cover stop, you could potentially cause the rifle to fire.

>>29865200
>>29865206

But that is true with semi auto selectors too

>>29865175
If you lift up a f/a safety to remove it can cause the trigger to release.

>>29865200
>>29865206
>>29865228
>>29865229

On my WASRs, and Draco the selector is "semi auto" (it has the notch in it), but on all three the safety will still drop the hammer if you rotate it far enough. Only my SAR-1 has enough metal removed that it doesn't drop the hammer when removing the safety lever.

So does Century just not give a fuck when they are modifying safety levers or is there no real standard for what constitutes a "semi auto" safety selector and everyone just does it differently?

125KB, 1000x540px

Okay gang, need input, with evidence via video or pics, to buy an Arsenal SLR- 107FR. I want to add a high end AK rifle to my collection. (1)I'm turned off by the permanently attached LH folding stock because it would mess with the optic rail mount if I put one on my rifle. (2)Also the 24mm muzzle threads is another downside to me, since I figured if I wanted to put a different muzzle device on the rifle it would be more difficult to find due to most companies making devices for 14x1 LH. (3)I've heard and seen evidence of Arsenals quality control, what with canted sights and sticky, rough bolt groups that will hang up when charged. I know that a lot of you would say that I could just put an optic on a rail system on the handguard, but I dont want it so far forward, and it seems to defeat the puporse of the side folding stock if it will interfere with the optic. It seems like a lot of controversy for a rifle at such a high price tag. Should I buy one or just wait for something else to come along. I have been eyeing the Definitive Arms DAKM though they are out of stock at the moment on Atlantic, have been for some months actually. Sorry for the wall of text but I want to know for certain if I should or shouldn't buy one. Im not rich by any means and I dont want to drop a grand on a rifle I'll hate. Thanks again.

>(1)I'm turned off by the permanently attached LH folding stock because it would mess with the optic rail mount if I put one on my rifle.
Then just don't fold the stock, they lock up rock solid. I honestly don't understand why some people think the folding stock is a negative point. If you don't want to fold it then just don't fold it, and if you ever need to make the rifle more compact (for storage or transport or whatever) you have the ability to cut nearly a third of the length of the rifle off by folding it.
>(2)Also the 24mm muzzle threads is another downside to me, since I figured if I wanted to put a different muzzle device on the rifle it would be more difficult to find due to most companies making devices for 14x1 LH.
This is true, you're limited with the 24mm compared to the 14x1.
>(3)I've heard and seen evidence of Arsenals quality control, what with canted sights and sticky, rough bolt groups that will hang up when charged.
All manufactures have lemons. People just make a big deal about Arsenal lemons because MUH $1000 URRSNAL AYY KAY. Look at every single Arsenal in this thread and ask them if they have any of those issues with their rifles. If one out of every 500 rifles is a lemon then everyone and their brother will focus on that one bad rifle instead of the 499 good ones.

The whole thing behind the SLR rifles is that they have a lot of features of AK100 series rifles. If you don't want an AK100 type rifle then don't buy an SLR.

>>29871659
I appreciate the input. I forgot to ask in my original post but where could I pick one up, if I decide to get one, since Atlantic is out of stock and they sometimes take a while to get back in stock.

>>29871620
No, only on SLR107s with serial number prefix XM55

I mean, how difficult is it to just clone a 5.45 VEPR or regular old RPK-74 and put the right features on it for under $2000. I men sure it won't be a high profit margin item at first, but Jesus fuck no one will buy that thing, let alone at the price point they'll probably try to sell it at.

Is there any reason why Bulgarian 74 parts are cheaper than Russian parts? Is it mostly just because Russian stuff demands a premium and because there are more importers of Bulgarian parts than there are Russian parts?

Quality wise, is there that much of a difference between the two?

Sorry lads I have an SKS question and I figure some of you guys might have an answer for me.

http://tucson.backpage.com/SportsEquipForSale/350-trade-for-bearcat/37356845

This SKS here looks like an alright deal, but I have some questions about that silver ring at the back of the reciever? Is that just from his shitty railed dust cover or is this some sort of defect? Also what is with the wood, is it just a weird stain job you think?

Please take this cool AK camo picture as payment

>>29873097

im pretty certain they will be the non-reinforced ones. which is fine because now there is a range option that isnt tapco and you can buy less of the surplus mags but still have the same amount of useable mags overall

Apex is excellent, they even give you a random color sticker with every order.

So the safety on my SLR104 was rather stiff so I bent it out a bit so I'm able to engage and disengage it with my middle finger. It slides nice and easy now with only a little wall of resistance right as the safety is disengaged. But how loose is too loose? Will it work itself even looser over time?

So long as the loading you're comparing it to is the same weight and type of bullet.

Unlikely.
Although I'm sure there's some reason behind it, what it is, I'm unaware of.

They tend to be hit or miss and a lot of people have had bad experiences with them. Mostly with getting their orders. These seem very similar to the dented, dinged, and rusty mags sgammo has/had for sale, but for slightly more money. If you do not have the ability to fix dented mags I would steer clear. It's not exactly rocket science, but if you don't have a vice you might run into trouble. I bought 5 packs of these mags from sgammo and apart from maybe 4 mags, all required a bit of effort to get them working. However, I was able to get all 20 working reliably. Not sure the exact condition of the rti mags so maybe see if you can find a review from someone has already purchased them.

artificially low supply...

So where should I get cheap steel mags?

The 3-packs from whatacountry?
The polish ones from aim?

If I lube my rifle up and rack the handle a few times, should I notice a difference if I've done it properly?

>giving AIM money after their security fuckups

>>29881547
i notice when i lube mine, so... yes?

>>29881582
how do you do it? I grease the rails, bolt carrier, bolt, and hammer, and I oil and the pins for the FCG

About to buy 10 Bulgarian polymer mags

Give me a good reason not to

>>29863099
>Do they compromise an AK's ability to keep dust and dirt out of the FCG?
Is this a joke?
It's not a sealed system by any means.

>>29881690
i just use oil on every part that moves, adding a light layer
rails, bolt carrier, hammer and outside of the bolt

>>29881814
I'll try that next time. probably easier to apply than grease anyway, since I've got a spray can of that outer's stuff.

How did you guys deal with being a nogunz fag? I will be stuck at Uni for the next 4 years, in New York of all places.

>>29881845
It won't make you happy anon. I thought I would be when I finally got my WASR-10, but all that happened was I started wanting new furniture, more mags, more ammo, an Arsenal. It doesnt end bruh

>>29881230
I do, but I ended up preferring to use the handle on my vice as the leaver. It was more controllable and had a few additional applications for repair. Some of the issues with the mags went beyond just dents in the body.

>You don't need to clean your AK anon

>you don't need to lube your AK anon, why are you wasting your time?

>You really don't have to bother zeroing your AK anon, it isn't a precision weapon

>>29881911
yeah, but it feels satisfying to do those things.

>>29881899
Hey as long as they end up being functional, right?
As long as you don't drill holes to pop minor dents, then whatever works for you.

If anything it's good news mane. You think you're missing out on something great, but you aren't. It's a fun hobby and on some level it's a responsibility to own a firearm in the US, but I think your'e safe for 4 years. If you buy a rifle right now before college, the only thing that will change is instead of wishing for a rifle, you'd be wishing for shit to have for your rifle

>>29881520
Copes still has Yugo BHOs for $13, if you're into that.
>Flat rate shipping($10), and sometimes free if you order so much.

>>29867538
They support Halloween

>As long as you don't drill holes to pop minor dents
God, very much this. I don't understand why people think this is a good way to fix them they look like shit. It's not any easier than just popping them out with a lever. It's like an instant way to tell someone is a dumb dumb.

>>29881777
do you mean (10) 's or the all poly?

>>29881137

i dont get the purpose of that case

It's so you can fire the gun still in the case.
I think it has something to do with the transport laws in Russia, the gun needing to be cased but guys still wanting their shotgun somewhat "ready".

I have one as well.

Looking to buy an AK... Tips?

>>29883852
You'll want to bring some money, and you'll have to find someone selling an AK

>>29882705
All poly with the bullet outlines on the plastic
They're just going to be range mags... And 8 bucks each is pretty good

>>29884059
Might as well a couple more bucks and get steel surplus.

>>29884059
Those mags are garbage and you would be dumb to not do what >>29884130 says.

>>29883852
>check rivets
>check for canted sights
>check for mag wobble

>>29883933

just need the T2 and the AK will be done

>>29858180

wouldnt that tape melt as soon as you where using the rifle ?

I know very little about attached grenade launchers but its looks quite useless because cant get to the trigger.

>>29884364
Honestly I assume that the photo was probably exclusively for shitposting rather than a functional setup. The bipod also cannot be deployed, which is a pretty major issue for the RPK.

>>29884290

with Texas Gun Trader it usually doesnt matter so long as you dont use the gun in crime, they can still trace it to you via the bill of sale.

Ive bought 2 ARs each from a former cop while I was on felony probation and I technically wasn't allowed to own or purchase guns until after my probation had expired. (via deferred adjudication)

So if you're careful, and generally don't look or act like a degenerate you can buy all the gun you want "off the books" in Texas.

Cormac McCarthy? Oh shit nigga, what are you doing? Go read Blood Meridian.

>>29878547
>You're fucking joking, right?
This IS the same agency that declared a shoelace was a machine gun.

Think about that for a while. None of their bizarre declarations should surprise or shock you. Disappoint and even disgust, yes. Surprise? No.

Tomorrow some dillhole could go on Youtube and stick plastic novelty practical-joke dog poop on the muzzle of a rifle with duct tape and shoot it. There's about even odds that the BATF would notice and declare plastic dog poop to be a silencer.

I wish I were kidding. This is what we're paying for with our tax dollars.
