>>30257757
I'd say that was a good choice.

>>30257802
how was the accuracy? and did the primer blow out, or was it like that?

>>30257808
you belong in the >>>/trash/

Say is that a ROM vertigrip? Cus it looks like a WASR-10.

>>30257802
Huh, I wonder if that should be expected from 1/1000 rounds or if you were just considerably unlucky and got a really bad round.

>>30257808
It was either this or Silver Bear, and this was two cents less a round so I went with it. I have some experience with Silver Bear but not with this so I figured I'd give it a shot considering how much praise it gets.

>>30257731
Will I be able to replace the recoil spring in a mak 90 with any old recoil spring for that caliber?

From what I understand, the only steel case to steer clear of is Tula, and even then I know about that for ARs. For all I know, AKs don't suffer the same problem as ARs using Tula.

>>30257986
If you want an RPK don't get a hideous abortion with questionable quality. Pretty sure you can still get Romanian ones for not much more on gunbroker.

>>30258042
That will most likely work . I would put the spring on you original assembly.

>>30258069
Alright. The assembly looks OK so I will try that

>>30258076
If you can find just the spring it would be cheaper. You do not really need the rest of it.

>>30258149
And yea it's an rs mount

>>30258186
It aligns the gas block and sight block I'm pretty sure it's for pinning the gas\sight block
From thier website

Align the front sight, gas block and rear sight on your AK PERFECTLY, everytime!

Whether you're a pro builder or a home builder, our patented AK Alignment jig is a must.

Even works on guns that all the parts are already installed-simply drive out the retaining pins, slap on the AK Alignment Jig, realign the parts that are canted, redrill and repin and you're done!

>>30258187
I could but honestly I don't care for it. It's my home defense rifle as well so I'm gonna put a light on it which the magpul mlok will let me do, just haven't gotten around to It yet. It's more of a functional gun than a beauty, down the road I wanna grab a deffinative arms dakm 4150 when money is avaliable and if firearms are still avaliable. Plan on leaving that in some nice wood.

Have you thought of doing the RD m4 adapter? I've shot a wasr with one they work quite well and give you a nice range of stock options.

>>30258259
I have but honestly I want to put a zhukov (it's a boot i know) on it to take advantage of the ak's ability to side fold over the ar, the bulgy side folder folds left so that's not an option for me cuz it'll get in the way of my rs mount. I wanna buy alot of shit for that gun but I'm broke and need to buy ammo before it's all bought up.

>>30258293
NEVERRRRRRRRRRRR
Naw kidding, I prefer the over the magwell mount for red dots. If I were to put a 4x prism scope from PA on my ak I would do the rear biased mount tho. Nice set up tho

>>30258293
Sweet, I also like that the Zhukov Will do the cheek riser for a perfect cheek weld when looking thru the red dot. Only qualm is I know that a metal side folder would never break whereas the Zhukov Will snap rather easily if in the folded position. That being said I don't plan on running over it in a truck (akou). Also the metal folder is heavier.

>>30258339
Thanks, I also got a black US palm grip for it after I took the picture. I honestly wish I got an ak303 mount but my PA microdot and the mount were cheaper as a bundle. Now I am stuck with either a short scope or a red dot.

>>30258362
For me, the regular stock does just fine. The only thing i would consider getting a cheek riser for would be a PSO scope or and obzor.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a zoomed 5,45 calibrated optic that would fit an rs regulate 302 mount?

>>30258371
I think the 5.45 flies about as flat as a 5.56 so any optic calibrated for that should work for a 5.45. But that's really just a guess, I don't think the 5.45 is popular enough in America for western optic companies to make a caliber calibrated optic for it

>>30258371
Yea here they lump it in with the 5.56 and .308

>>30258371
Now idk if PA zoomed optics are up to your standards but ppl seem to like em. Good grief I gotta lay off the adderall.

>>30258387
Looks a bit big/long. I was thinking more on the lines of a compact fixed mag scope, more like an acog.

>>30258378
I think the 5.45 i use flies at about 2850 fps (wolf 69gr)>>30258378

>>30258398
considering I have a PA red dot I am 100% satisfied with, I assume their zoomed optics are held to the same quality?

>>30258215
Again you have no idea what the problem is do you? The problem is that it doesn't give you room to press the parts on with the jig UNLESS you press on the jig to press on the components. Jesus fuck, I hate fucking tripfags that don't know what they're talking about.

>>30258413
I assume they're great quality as well, these are out of stock currently but since they use the same reticle as the other scope I linked even tho it says "5.56 3x optic" it should work with your 5.45. I originally looked at this one for the 7.62x39 when going to put an optic on my wasr but realistically I'll never be shooting enmes beyond 150yds so I went with the red dot

Would you recommend the Obzor? What's its biggest advantage and drawback?

>>30257731
What the hell is that thing at the barrel

>>30259972
Bayonet.

Does anyone know any affordable AK builders? I have nowhere to keep the tooling

>>30257986
If you're really set on an RPK kind of thing, get an O-PAP, they're built on RPK receivers and bulged trunnions.

You're not missing much with the shorter barrel and regular stock.

>>30258435
How would you press the jig off? My point was that it's not a jig for pressing the barrel components on its for aligning them for pinning.

>>30257802

>>30258527
>Would you recommend the Obzor?
Depends on what you want with your rifle. Do you want a more aesthetically pleasing and more fitting optic to go with the rifle but that is still more than adequate? Do you have an interest in Slavshit? Then yes. Do you want the best and will you regret dropping $400+ on something if it isn't the best? Then no, buy an Aimpoint.

>What's its biggest advantage
No batteries, I love the reticule, just all around really weird yet still very functional and a real head turner whenever anyone sees it. I personally really like it and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
>and drawback
Weight, height over bore means chinweld (which I don't mind at all once I got used to it), expensive for what it is (At least now as they used to be cheaper only a few months ago, $400+ is Aimpoint PRO territory which will be the better optic), if something were to go wrong you're pretty stuck with an expensive and ugly paperweight.

Because it came with a thread cap as opposed to a slant style, I bought that break like three years ago when I got the gun and I guess I just liked the contrast to the slant style on my wasr and vz. My SA-M7 has a terrible looking muzzle brake but it's welded on, so that one is for another time.

>>30260619
Ah I see, mine was a piece of shit brake so I guess I'm biased. Slant brake would look nice and it's not like you can't just swap it out .

Hey VA, how much are those 40rnder 7.62's? Are they Bakelite?

N-PAPs are fine, especially with the new stocks they're putting on them. Refinishing the wood would be fine but a cherry red will look tacky.

If you decide to buy the plates and the carrier rigs separately then I recommend purchasing the lvl 3+ plates insetad of just the 3's. They stop armor piercing rounds up to 30-06 caliber for only like $10 more a plate!! For obvious reasons don't buy any plates lower than lvl 3's.....

You'll have to build about five or six jigs for different shit, plus buy some gauges and do a lot of reading.

You would probably be able to put one together then. You'll need a hydraulic press, I assume you have one of these. You'll need jigs to smash the rivets, which you could probably fabricate yourself. You can't just use snap rivets, sorry. It's a pretty work intensive process that you can fuck up if you're not careful, and either the AK won't work or it will beat itself apart.

DDI is GTG though for a range toy.

>>30260056
>You're not missing much with the shorter barrel and regular stock.
And I will agree there. RPKs are a novelty and a toy, not all that handy otherwise. I'd argue their FAR less handy than a regular weight/size 1mm thick stamped ak in the same caliber. Too heavy for very little extra practical benefit.

You didn't fuck up at all as long as everything is straight.

That was the one thing I did make sure of before getting it. No canted sights or anything.

got mine 2 years ago, a few thousand rounds through it.

i think my guide rails are fucked, the carrier is getting jammed to the rear and the recoil spring sometimes walks out.

thinking of using the panic right now to sell for and get a new ak

>>30265614
in a straight trade? i'd do it. npap plus money for the wasr? forget it.

>>30265678
It looks like the right front sight lea isn't making contact so you have a wee bit of cant. Not too bad though an it could still just be the angle.

>>30265749
Went back and did it again. It's a combination of the angle and the front sight. The sight is level on the table but the right hand portion is slightly thiner at the top and makes it look like its not touching.

How common are canted sights anway? Never really been into AKs.

>>30265819
>How common are canted sights anway? Never really been into AKs.
WASRs tend to have the most canted sights but they can be found on examples of pretty much every AK out there.

can i send a npap to century and have them see if they can fit whats being fucked with it?

Is it under warrenty?

>>30267159
Any type of issues to look for when I get it? From my understanding the build quality is a lottery. Some good, some meh, and others absolute shit.

Canted sights mostly, atlantic apparantly has a qc process for them, so take that as you will.

>>30266942

Prepare your asshole, because you'd be looking at $1k or so to get one built.

Eh, it's a preference not a requirement. I want to pretend it's authentic. I'll save the big bucks for the AR.

>>30267482
That's an easy fix, even for a noob.

>>30268117
I mean the Russian AK parts kits alone around $500+ depending on what you need, then another $200 for a good barrel, another $100 for the receiver, and then $400-500 to get it built or buy the tools to build it yourself.

>>30268130
Yeah, most of the problems you're going to see are an easy fix. You can't get away with selling rifles where the headspacing is fucked or something like a cracked trunnion.

>>30268199
>You can't get away with selling rifles where the headspacing is fucked or something like a cracked trunnion.

>>30273646
>want to buy it and save it but a WASR isn't worth 1k.
Dont.
It's a wasr. It's like a generic car with only the basic features, 1000 of them could go to the crusher and nobody would give a shit because it's just mass produced product.

>>30273704
If I had a lot of money I would but I'm just building an AR instead since I'm poor.

So are 2016 NPAPs good guns these days?

>>30273791
They're pretty great from what I've seen / heard of them.

How hard would it be to take a vepr and put AKM-style furniture on it instead of the sporterized stuff it comes with? Seriously considering this due to the good reputation for veprs.

>>30273791
Definitely the goto budget AK if youre not into a WASR.
Special snowflake furniture can be annoying tho

>>30274161
The pistol grip and stock would be a drop in conversion, except the stock won't fit quite right because most Veprs have a slant cut receiver for some retarded reason. It will still fit, but a section of the stock that is supposed to be buried in the receiver will be exposed. You can buy an adapter to fill the gap but some people just use them without.

For the upper handguard you'll have to buy a new gas tube, as the Vepr gas tube doesn't have the brackets for the upper handguard. You need a handguard retainer for the lower handguard, you can buy aftermarket ones that bolt on to the barrel.

What is /akg/ opinion on the SKS. I am a jew and was thinking about picking up a Yugo SKS. How reliable are they, how well do they do in regards to accuracy, and what is the availability of spare parts? On the fence on either the SKS or a WASR 10 from Atlantic. Getting the SKS will save me nearly $250. Plus I think the SKS is pretty neat and simple.

>>30274623
WASR.

>>30274623
They're great rifles. Accuracy wise, I feel like it's easier to shoot accurately than a 16" gun because of the longer sight radius.
And you'll never need spare parts most likely, maybe get a spare recoil spring, piston spring, and firing pin if you're paranoid.

Seems shitty though, because with a regular retainer you can take your LHG off with the throw of a lever, but you have to use a screwdriver to take it off with a bolt on retainer. It's a compromise, I recommend doing a full front end conversion and paying someone to do it if you can't yourself. It's worth it.

>If you're looking for a more "traditional" AK, that is.

I've shot pistols before, but nothing like an AK-47. Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection).

The recoil bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don't know what you're doing. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions--loud like a bomb--gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun a few times, I was anxious and irritable.

The 1v is really neat, but I'd rather have a lighter rifle with ak74 style features. The 1v's stock is likely to be a bit more comfortable though, it feels pretty nice IMO.

VEPR km's are surplus Tula AKM's, and are Machine guns with third pin hole intact.


You will never see one of these in the U.S

Well after seeing this, it seems like you might be right. Hmm.
You're definitely right about not seeing them stateside because of the scary 3rd pin hole.
But now that FIME has the exclusive import rights to Molot guns, maybe they can get them to make new sporter receivers and we could get some in.
>Unlikely, but one can hope.

They ar AKM refurbish by molot

Anyone got any recs for a scope rail/mount or railed dust cover?

>>30290921
RS Regulate is the go to gold standard for mounts.

Damn, threads almost over. Hopefully somebody can respond anyways.

I'm at a pretty shitty road right now. The Orlando shooting couldn't come at a worse time.

I was really hoping to get myself going on a down payment at one of my LGS's on an AK, ($800-$1200 budget), because as of now, I don't have money to pay in full, and I'd be paying in increments with the layaway. Unfortunately, the guy's at the LGS said that they can't do layaway on special orders because they have a history of people backing out after they've purchased the special order, so I either pay in full or nothing.

Now because that fucking faggot couldn't bear it anymore and shot up a gay bar, he's reinvigorated the gun control debate and now people are panic buying again. Like I said, I don't have money to pay for the AK in full, and by the time I do, the price will have gone up past my comfortable range I'm sure of it, and it's only going to get higher the closer to November we get.

What do? Pretty damn irritated right now.

Just gonna dump until bump, since some fucktard started a new thread hours before this one died.

>>30291257
Shit, hadn't thought of that for some reason.

I mean, I'm no noob, I'm pretty intermediate with guns by now, know most of the terminology and internal functions. I'm pretty sure that I'd be able to manage an assembly with the help of a few guides here and there.

Hmmm. That does sound like a pretty decent idea. Although, on the same token, I wouldn't be sure about the quality control on the parts, like the barrel.

Is there a guide I can reference to detailing me which brands/parts I should avoid and pursue? And would it be generally cheaper or more expensive to custom build?

the saiga would be a non sporterized one and you guessed right, i am a yurobean. the VEPR would be the mini 1V, not the full size one, although the furniture sucks and i cant find anything about its furniture compatibility on the webs. also, the saiga is a whole lot cheaper (and longer) than the 1v mini, according to the store the 1v mini and the saiga weigh the same

country?
