What's /akg/'s policy on altering military surplus?

I just finished filing down the little leather strap buttons on my Romy type 1, but I feel kinda bad messing with what is essentially a piece of history. What are /akg/'s thoughts on the matter?

>>30071638
I dont think anyone cares. It's yours to do what you will.

Where's the L85?

Best option for mounting a bipod on a vepr? Got a 23" x39 and trying to decide if I want to try and put a barrel mounted one or one on the wood handguard it came with.

After doing some shooting with this thing I was surprised to really like the chin weld. I was concerned that I was going to have to adjust and just deal with it being weird but I find it rather comfortable, at least with 5.45.

>I feel bad messing with a piece of history
Dude it's a fucking bayonet frog. That's not history. An entire rifle? Depending on the condition of it, I can see how someone could see that as history, but the buttons on a bayonet frog? Who gives a shit?

Just because something is old doesn't mean it's historical.

>>30073577
Clear polymers are more brittle. My understanding is the polymer chains have to be a certain way, or else they turn opaque. Bend a piece of clear plastic, and you'll see it turn while as the structure is compromised.
Raw nylon is a whitish yellow.

They're produced, just not majorly exported. The 5.56 Pap pistol is the version you're likely to run into in the US

>>30075792

google to check how to inspect an AK. Rob Ski and others have some good videos about what to look for.

If it comes fucked up, refuse the transfer, call K-var and bitch to them to take back the rifle and either refund you or send another.

EZ mode.

>>30075837

Jesus christ man, it's one thing to fuck with people who are new to funz, but you're just being monstrous.

>>30075792
Don't accept the transfer. Open and inspect the rifle before filling out the 4473.

Primary thing to look for is canted sights. This does not mean check to see that the front sight -post- is dead center between the ears. The sight -post- doesn't indicate if it's canted or not. What you're checking is if the front sight -base- is centered. You might already know this, but some people get confused there and don't understand.

Best way to check is to just sight down the top of the rifle and compare the sight base to the rear sight. Just eyeball it. If it's noticeably canted don't accept the transfer.

The only other problem that Arsenals are having is to have bubbly paint, and you can't check that in the store.

>>30075891

In addition to >>30075887 also check to make sure that the RSB isn't off center in the receiver, and that the gas block isn't canted. You will have to pop off the gas tube to get the best view.

ALSO CHECK THE STOCK AND REAR TRUNNION. I have seen an SLR-104 with a rear stock canted off to the right.

Check that the rivets are not crushed, the spot welds are clean, and that the receiver is not dimpled badly.

Shitty paint is to be expected and can be fixed at a later date.. which is pathetic but LOL ARSENAL.

If it is a folding stock Arsenal (non milled) you have to watch that the rear trunnion isn't canted so your stock isn't off center when locked into position. pc related is what I saw on an SLR-104.

don't mind the paint issue. nothing you can do to check for it anyway.

Tapco shit is worthless. factor in the cost to get that crap replaced. The stock first- they have a terrible reputation for breaking. Expect to sink $50 on new furniture.
Look at it as you bought a used gun with no stock or forearm with 2 worthwhile mags, and misc accessories.
I'dve done $700. Tops. If I wasn't close friends with someone, I'd push that closer to 600-650.

Well, "good" condition Bulgarian wood arrived from Apex; the entire right side of the stock has lost its finish. I guess Since I've got to refinish it, I guess I'll go with a darker color than the rather blonde looking Bulgarian standard.

Do you want an optic that's superior in quality but inferior in looks or do you want an optic that looks great but is much less usable? If you want the superior optic, then go with the Aimpoint, but if you want the superior looker, then go with the Obzor.

>>30079652
The tint would be acceptable if there was a major price difference, but there's not. Also, it's fine outside doesn't inspire a lot of confidence for a red dot.

folding wire stocks on aks is something I don't understand. I don't get why so many people see them as a PLUS. Yeah, it's 0.5 oz lighter and less wieldy than a wooden stock... but the joy of guns is not in carrying them around, it's of shouldering and shooting them.

So much joy is in shooting them that the US made it illegal to shoulder pistols because of too much joy.

It's nice to have a folder stock to save some space. But unless it's a polymer stock shaped like the original stock, it's pretty terrible to actually use.
The think the vz58 has the only wire folder stock I can actually tolerate. It's still not perfect, but at least my eyes line up easily with irons and it's relatively comfortable still.

I really like the reticule actually. It's nice and crisp with a very clear aiming point (tip of the triangle) and the vertical and horizontal lines both bring your eye to the center and can be used for range estimation. I prefer it over a simple dot.

People will say what they will about the pink-purple tint, but the Obzor is a very clear optic and I really like it.

Hey guys I posted in the last thread but it died before anyone responded. I'm thinking I want to changed up my rifles paint but I really would rather compliment the plum instead of spraying it as well. Am I just delaying the inevitable from wear and tear fucking up my plum? I'd like to do some camo but idk.

>>30083052
You'll regret painting over everything

>>30083082
So what do you think I should paint it. Plum is kinda hard to match

>>30083020
This

The Obzor is a fantastic optic. The tint isn't nearly as big of a deal as its made out to be. The only time it really bothers me is when it's darker/really really overcast out but in order to fix that just shoot with both eyes open.

The chin weld is another issue that always gets brought up but if you learn to shoot with it it's surprisingly comfortable (at least with a triangle folder or polymer folder). After a few magazines of shooting I was already used to it and it really opens up your vision to what is going on around you compared to when you're shooting normally with your face low on the stock. IMO the Obzor is one of the best optics you could get for and AK.

>>30083095

Just leave it black.

If the paint starts to come apart, get it cerakoted.

>>30083110

Is getting a cheek riser like on Rob Ski's SLR videos a moronic idea for an obzor?

>>30083114
This.
Refer to: >>30083095

>>30083130
I mean you could if you wanted one but depending on how comfortable you find it without it you might not need one. I was thinking about getting one while my Obzor was coming in the mail but once I got it and actually shot it I really liked it and won't bother with a rider.

I know enough about them to know they're crap compared to more modern red dots. They've got a lever that controls polarization, they have a tint that ranges from medium to wow I can't fucking see depending on the polarization, the reticle changes depending on the lighting available, and the adjustments are massive, which is terrible for an optic that's meant to be zeroed at 400m.

For the price, it's not a good optic. Is it a usable optic? Sure, but compared to an Aimpoint it's shit.

I'm not looking to get a high quality optic for my AK because my AK-74 and PM md.63 are both toys to me.

I don't hold the belief that any of the optics I listed will be equal to my T-2 or my TA33, but that doesn't mean they won't be usable, good looking, and something different from the average.

I would love to have one on my slr
> stole my pro off my ar for pic related

I have a chance to buy a Romanian AK made by cugir for ~$700
Worth it?

>>30090950
Depends if it an SAR or a WASR.

>>30091556
Which is better?

>>30091839
Same. SARs are desirable for little details that make a more accurate clone.

For that price just get a new production WASR unless you want to make an AKM clone and the SAR has the Y axis

Anyone planning to get one of these cheek risers?

At $80 I'm skeptical. Lot of dough for something you can make with random junk.

Whatever, it's here, and I didn't have to pay shipping or tax. Still sketchy as fuck though.

Time to put in my AKT. Wish me luck bros.

Sketchy isn't the word I would use. I understand it's 2016 and anyone can run a web business from their house, but the shit I got looked like something sent out from someone's house and not really business-like

'Course when it comes to gun-related shit, this could be a good thing.

I was thinking postal theft, not government intrusion, dumbfuck.

Freaked me out the first time I received a MagPul order, and the box had "MAGPUL" printed all over it. Screams to be stolen.

>>30097250

I was more pissed at Fedex with my last gun related purchase.

Hey /k/,

Where's the best place to get a round trunnion bullet guide for a 7.62x39 Saiga? I need the tap and die and drill bit, too.

>>30097944
Haha. No one wants it.

Everyday I hope the sanctions will one day be over and value drops significantly. I just wanna see the look on these guys faces when their collections are worth two third of what they paid.

>>30098072
The sanctions wont do anything. These are expensive cause most of them are prototypes from Tula or Izhevsk that they or employees stole/sold to Russians (prob not for 1000 dollars but expensive) and sold to Americans, there's not surplus of these mags.

>>30097960
CSS probably.

http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/SAIGA_AK47_VEPR_7_62X39_ROUND_BULLET_GUIDE_p/css-bguide-7.62-round.htm

You'll have to choose the [Add drill and tap set] from the drop down menu.

>>30098072
Interesting all this rare meme shit comes out at a presumptive top of the market. Most hobbies go like this. Those that collected all the stuff before it was cool, and the suckers that try to just outright buy themselves a hobby.

Isn't it great, so damn nice (for an Ak trigger)

>>30099842

Can't wait to take it to the range. The AKT replaced Arsenal's garbage ass trigger, and the trigger reset is what I'm most looking forward to.

I've actually thought about doing that, leaving Russia would probably be fine I'd just have to continue my streak of not having my bags searched by customs coming back to the US.

>>30100615
Nope

>>30100615

Has Kalinka Optics been pretty good? I've been looking to get an Obzor from them.

Should I get one to finish my balkan build?

>>30102195
Good price but you'll still need a mount

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lufGju8v5Xs

>>30102275
Yeah, problem is they don't have a mount cheap enough that buying it and the scope over a bundle would be worth it.

Check your emails, I sent out PayPal information for the mag order. If you didn't receive one and didn't order any 7.62 bakes let me know.

>>30102290
How much were they?

>>30102297
Used Plums are $20, 5.45 rpk bakes are $50, aluminum paratrooper 7.62 waffles are $60, 7.62 bakes are $35, 40 round 7.62 rpk bakes are $90. There will be another buy soon if you want to get in on it
