Should I sell my two black (10) 6x5 bayonets and put that money toward a proper Russian 6x5 for dat triangle stamp?

(10) 6x5s are easy enough to find for around $40 but Russian ones are like $100

>>30527326

Go for it. Make sure you get non demilled one.

I know io is shit, but the ftf issues they had at the end of the slr-107 test makes me question if some of those mags they are using are wore out or something.

worth it or nah?

they cost about the same as surplus steels and I like the BHO Yugo mags I have already

The feeding issues with the SLR-107 were with first generation magpul mags, ie absolute garbage.

Reposting my question from last thread: What's a good price for 5.45 Silver Bear? A security/prepper store near me has it for $10/box, or $0.33/rd. The lowest I saw on Gunbot is $0.25/rd, but that was for a 750rd case, which I don't want to buy right now, and the highest was $0.32/rd, but I don't know if that includes shipping cost.

Why not? It's a very low cost method of sending money that gives the recipient cash instead of numbers on a computer, and it leaves a very minimal paper trail.

The only drawback is that it's scam friendly, but as long as the seller has good feedback you're probably fine.

Buying slavshit optics is stupid if you live in the Western Hemisphere. So much better options.

But my aesthetics.

>>30527961
If it was my kit I wouldn't be selling it.

The seven is fucked up because the original Soviet worker fucked it up when he scrawled it on in nineteen eighty fuck-you. It was standard practice for MANY years on Russian AKs of all kinds to scribe on the serial number on certain parts. The extractor is the most common part you see this on, but also the top cover, the gas tube, and the safety.

Please don't make me open the safe. Know when to fold

>>30527672
>only 600 rounds

>>30527961
It's a deact kit and I find the claim that it has the original barrel to be highly suspect, it's not a real RPKS-74 kit as that is obviously a random folder trunnion that he threw in with the kit, and he's probably selling it at a 600% markup, but I am positive that the parts you are criticizing are the original serialized parts.

As a side note: those folder trunnions alone are highly valuable and have sold for as much as $1000 in the past. I still wouldn't pay $3000 for that kit though.

>deact kit
Scratch that I looked at it again and it's one of the Bulgarian serialized kits that were made in Russia but finished in Bulgaria

Ohio Rapid Fire imported those years ago and that is in fact the original barrel, as those kits were imported before the barrel ban.

Personally I find his claim that the front trunnion is original, but sanitized, to be most likely true.

It's still like a $2000 kit though.

>>30528133
I have never made such a claim in my entire life, but I appreciate your thinking so.
>typefont
It's done by hand you fag, there is no font.

Why would an Ohio Rapid Fire kit with all matching parts be missing the fucking extractor of all parts? Also were the fuck are you getting this clockwise/counterclockwise information from? Am I being trolled??

Im telling you that those parts were serialized afterthefact. And if you dont know the clockwise/counterclock info, then you are no where near as savvy as you claim to be. And no, this is not a ruse.

RPK's in semi auto are a novelty, 7.62x39 from a 23" RPK barrel only gains about 100fps, they are for sustained fire.

>>30528596

I frequently layaway rifles since I like to buy a few at a time and a few weeks later they all go on an adventure to my FFL. Sort of like the brave little toaster, but with guns, and nobody ends up in the junkyard.

>>30528154
The rail is an M21.
It's typically used on SVD type rifles, but it's placement on the Yugos imported is odd, and most SVD mounts won't sit at a proper height.

RS Regulate makes a Yugo specific mount just for these imports.
The 306/307 RS mount to be exact.
You will also need an upper mount and an optic to go with said upper mount.

>>30528354

Those are not official military issue, they are not fielded by the russian army.

>>30528629

Eh, I don't like to panic buy, but I remember handing the sgl31 back to the guy behind the counter and letting him know I'll think it over only to come back a few days after the import ban and it was gone. It was a shitty feeling.

>>30528649

>Panic Buy

One thing that's pissing me off is that I seem to constantly look like a panic buyer when I'm not. I either buy my stock of ammo or a new gun right after something bad happens.

>>30528497
Lots of fit issues in various guns. Some mags fit good in others, while others are wobbly as shit.

>>30528656

Are you talking about this?
https://www.amazon.com/RS-AK-306-Lower-Modular-Mount/dp/B00TTBAFZ6

>mfw 130

I think I saw a youtube video the other day when someone shaved off a bit of metal from a standard adapter and it fit alright.

I might give that a try (picked up a mount for 20 USD so no big deal if it fucks up.)

I only really want to use the optic mount because the cheek rise on the stock makes it super hard to use the irons. Do you think a dust cover with a mount is a better option? I'm only concerned about the height.

Anyway, thanks for the pointers on this.

So if I were to get a WASR 2, it could take all AK74 parts right?
Would I be able to add the AK74 flash suppressor after purchase?

>>30528671

I thought they were being issued per the "Ratnik" program?
If so, while only select units currently have them, its hardly "not fielded".

Yes that the 306, the front biased version.
The 307 is the full length one.

>$130
It gets better. That's just half of the "full" mount. You'll still need an specific upper mount (another $65 or so) for the optic you choose.

I've seen the mod you're talking about, taking a chunk out of the rear of the mount, but I have no experience with doing it.

Read this thread on the files, there's quite a bit of info on yugo specific mounts and tips.

as if its going to be my main gun. its a gun I purchased before the gun scare.

I put the gun on layaway here in CA and I went to pay it off today after 2 weeks and all the AR's are gone. they were sold out of ARs and AKs that werent $2000. they dont even carry WASRs for some reason and didnt have the C39v2 in stock back when I bought the AK.

Yes, but that's somewhat common with Izhmash mags, I've seen it a lot. It's cool because now I can see what's actually going on in there with the steel reinforcement that makes it pop through in those locations.

I haven't decided if I'm going to shoot with it yet or not. Transparent polymer is hard to make without it being brittle.

I got some more info from a guy with a 5.45 one, he's selling it for $2000 but hasn't had any takers. According to him, his is an older one from the 90's from a brief attempt at Izhmash to make a translucent mag. All of the older ones have cracks everywhere but the newer ones seem to be made with a better polymer.

>>30533687
Have you tried Classic Firearms? I believe it was them that, at one time, had so many spare nugget crates that they set them out in their parking lot and let people come and take them for free, as long as they hauled them off themselves. They might have some left. I have seen them several times at gun shows before as well. AIM surplus? Anybody that imports nuggets by the hundreds has had crates at some point.

>>30533743
I sent an email to AIM earlier this week and was told that they do not have them for sale. Im going to probably have to browse gunshows for a while before I can find one.

>>30533687
1. Buy a crate of 20 moist nugs, they aren't that expensive.
2. Sell nugs on armslist/gunbroker/whereever. 3. Keep crate.
4. Profit, or at least break even and still have a bitchin crate.

how does the hammer pin come out? I took the paperclip out first and all the videos are now telling me I should have done that a few steps prior.

>>30534788
Once you take the paper clip (sheapards hook) out you push the big silver pin out that your hammer rides on. You push from the side of the safety towards the rail mount I believe. Wiggle your hammer a bit if the pin doesn't budge. You should be able to just push it with any metal rod smaller than the whole the silver pin sits in. Be careful not to fuck up the sheapards hook. Go out and buy a retaining plate

Doing a Shellac this time, I did a wood stain I found at my hardware store so this time I'm going more authentic. I also didn't use tung oil, and I'll be trying that out for a clear shiny finish.

New to /akg/ but I'd like a question answered if possible.

Is the Century Arms Draco a good gun? Is a new one worth $500?

>>30531715
Actually, it's not. It'd dangerous to fire due to closing on a no-go guage.

>>30537985
As long as it's regular Draco and you inspect it first, yeah they're neat AK pistols. I prefer them over the Yugos since they can take regular furniture and have CHF chrome lined barrels.

>>30538142
I've never owned an ak-platform firearm before, what are things that I should look for specifically when inspecting it?

>>30538176
make sure the sights are aligned (Given that dracos combine the front sight and gas block, this should be less of an issue) Push on all the rivets, from every side you can. If anything attached to the front or rear trunnion moves, be very wary of it. If multiple trigger guard rivets are loose, they can be corrected, but can mean bad mag fitment.
As with all guns, check the bore.
Oh, and polish the shit out of the hammer. recent G2 hammer groups have been chewing up carriers.

I don't have the money for full AKs right now but I'd like to future-proof myself before the election (assuming for not full draconian NY/Cali style stuff). Once owned an AK74 but sold it to get a P226 after the 2012 happening. Kind of stupid of me, I know but I do like the pistol. I'm still sitting on around 800 5.45 surplus ammo and already prepped up a collection of some 47, 74, and AR mags.

What I'd like to do is get a cheap but not worthless 47 and a 74 receiver

I've got access to a drill press but I don't have access to a hydraulic press.

How hard is it to build the AK? I know the AR is basically like a glorified lego, but I want to know if I need to have prior solid machining experience to build the AK. Alternatively I could just find someone in my area who could help me build it for a little fee. I'm not looking for cutting edge finest possible quality, so long as it is reliable.

But I would appreciate any pointers on good and cheaper AK receivers (7.62 and 5.45) that you guys can recommend or which you can recommend against.

From years ago I seem to remember Nodak Spud being a good brand? If you guys can also recommend a seller (I checked Atlantic Firearms is sold out, as was Nodak's site) I'm all ears.

Thanks.

Granted, at the 5000 round mark Rob informed us that one of the guys talking about the bubbling finish on his Arsenal sent his in for refinishing, and was pleased with the result.

So even if you get a bad one, you're not exactly up shit creek. The trigger is still garbage though, I'd replace that with an AKT asap. Though honestly I'd do that with any and all my AKs.

Eh, like this guy says >>30542714
If you can find an SLR-107fr, it'll probably be good to go. Regardless of the QC issues Rob Ski had with his he still said it shot like a champ

>>30542714 here

But seriously if you have or plan to get an Arsenal get an AKT, or at least a Tapco G2. Arsenal's fake 2 stage trigger is cold diarrhea.

My luck, it'd be the fucking training bayo.

Do you think there are grounds for unbanning 7n6 what with the m855 decision a while ago?

>>30546536
Yes. Doesn't mean that the ATF will change it's mind though. Also chances are there wouldn't be much available since a lot of it was starting to dry up and the rest is being used by Ukraine in it's war, same thing that happene to x54r

I thought you had a dildo attached to your AK because of the thumbnail.

>>30546738
There's also polish and bulgarian surp, how would one go about challenging that resolution?

>>30546999
Well part of the reason for the 7n6 ban is because one manufacturer proposed a 5.45x39 AK pistol and we can't import "armor piercing" pistol ammunition. :^)
The pistol never even made it to pre-production stage btw.

Where's the best place to get the surplus ammo?

I mean, beyond the obvious places like gunbroker and stuff.

Any sites with a reliable stock and deals?

>>30547214
You mean the surplus 7n6? At this point theres really no reason unless you want a couple of cans for a rainy day. The prices are going up and availability drying up. Seriously, lurk more or do your own god damn research.

Jesus fucking Christ what's your problem?

I check around for some surplus ammo every other day and I was asking if anybody knew any other reliable places to check out.

Fucking buttflustered faggot.

>>30547330
Here you go don't fucking buy all the 7n6
http://unammo.com/
I shop here locally they trustworthy

>>30547396

Thanks a lot man. Don't worry, I'm not a fudd who buy's everything and never uses it.

I only like to have a comfortable stock in place, which for me is like several range sessions.

>>30547330
>seriously citing MOOT's claim that traffic the traffic doesn't increase "that much"
Do you know how fucking statistics work? Also no one mentions summer except during summer. The use base changes significantly. Just because overall traffic barely increases doesn't mean shit
