So I feel like my Slr is complete, debating whether or not in the future I should add a light.. Its tactifool enough and I don't want to add much forward weight.
TL;DR I'm happy with my Slr and my birthday present to myself.

I just posted this in QDDDTOTT but posting here too. I put this Dynacomp on my AK47 and it doesn't tighten down all the way. how do I fix this? And would it be safe to shoot without fixing it?

Seriously debating where I should take this rifle though guys.. the brake seems to do a good job and fagpul grip was cheap enough plus in person.

>>30589017
mine does the same thing, it is fine. It actually came from the factory that way

I was the person asking about slav optics last thread, and someone asked if I was interested in a Kobra? If they're still around message me, we could work something out cause fuck if I have a hard time looking at the price of optics.

What's the best optic out of pk series? Are they any decent? Looking for a low sitting side mount red dot, maybe there are better options?

also, bolt hold open

Anybody here have experience dimpling rivet holes? I'm going to be doing a kit build and a lot of what I've heard is that using a bolt cutter and 1/4" ball bearing would work, but that it could slightly crack the receiver. Are there other methods I should know about or is it just fine?

What's the best ak and why is it the N-PAP?

So with the conclusion of the Rob Ski 5000 rounds test, is the Arsenal SLR series officially g2g?

Seems like even in a worst case scenario they do great, and Arsenal is apparently refinishing rifles for people who got ones with bubbling finish.

What type of steel is an AR15 made of?

>>30590072
The aluminum kind.

>>30590027
Either get an Arsenal or build from a reputable local builder if in the 1k+ range, or get a new production WASR 10 or new production NPAP if in the poorman range. The finish problem was on on a certain batch of Arsenals because they did not properly degrease them before doing the finish.

I have a PK01VS. Not much to say about it. Works well, not noticing paralax, sits low between 1/3 and absolute.

It's just heavy and kinda spendy but the heart wants. For 5.45 I'd look at other offerings but it's a cool optic for 7.62.

I want to get a AK. Should I get 7.62 or 5.45?

>>30591675
7.62. Easier to find than 5.45.

>>30591123

I have 150 bakelites, and fuck the U.S junk, bakes and polymer mags are cheap enough if you know where to get them to not bother with overpriced $15 steel mags.

>>30591675
5.45's relevancy in the U.S market hangs on a low hanging string that can be cut at any time, for whatever reason the government wants.

7.62. Then 5.45 if you intend on stocking immediately on ammo to save, otherwise consider 5.56 as accuracy is about the same between those two calibers.

Not really better per se, just different. The argument is 5.56 and 5.45 are similar, but 5.56 is common, while 5.45 less so. The milsurp 5.45 is getting more expensive and not many commercial loads available.

(7.62+5.56) > (5.45+5.56)
But it's just opinion really

>>30595193
So 7.62+5.56 are a combo with quite different qualities

5.45+5.56 are similar
>to a degree

7.62 is much cheaper to get into. If you go 5.45 you'll want to stack milsurp and open the wallet for mags

For 54r the PSO-1 is gud, I cannot use it to its full potential on my AK, would like to buy something like a PK-01 or PO 3.5x21P for that magnification. For anything 54r i would recommend sights with 4x and more magnification. Also sidemount is the only proper way to attach a scope to an AK, unless you turn it into a scout rifle for that maximum eye relief and dont care about looks. I recommend the PSO-1, KALINKA optics if you have the money.

Anyone have any opinions on the Magpul Zhukov side-folder? I'm not a big fan of the look (SCAR boot?), but it seems to be the best option without some serious work on the receiver. Also it folds right so it can be used with side-mounted optics, which is nice.

Does anyone have experience with these?

how hard is it to convert a VEPR 7.62x39 to look like your typical AK? what about saiga? does it require welding?

I've converted a S12 before, but I want my AK to look exactly like your typical one. standard magazines, pistol grip, AK brake, and most importantly, a foregrip that covers the gasblock.

you just need a Vepr to AK handguard retainer and a stock adapter along with an AK furniture set

>>30596223
neat, I figured that'd be the easier of the two to convert. and VEPR's take standard 7.62x39 mags?

for the sake of sating my curiosity, or if I do attempt a project, what do you have to do to convert a Saiga? do you have to grind down the magwell? like I said, I converted an S12, and that required a bit of hand sawing, as well as drilling and grinding. I'd probably be alright with doing it again, I'm just not too sure the process when it comes to the rest of the stuff I didn't have to do for the 12.

Eastern Euro steel surplus AK mags are objectively the hardiest, strongest, most durable AK mags on the market, if not THE most durable mags.

Surplus bakelites are lighter, but have essentially no other advantages, other than being able to call other people poorfags. And if you're doing that with an AK, you need to go slam your dick in your AK's action.

what kind of glass do you guys have for your ak?

Sup /AKG/

I was just watching Iraqveteran's AK magdump video and I saw something interesting.

At 4:26 he points out a gap between the trunnion and the gas block.

I noticed my Arsenal SLR-104 has that very same gap.

(really new, not even 300 rounds through it)


Pic isn't mine but looks like that. It's about a 1 1/8th inch gap.

>>30600669

>>30600796

Next rifle decision, have no AK, for my first do I get WASR, Century C39v2, or Romanian Draco?

INB4 Draco isn't a rifle, we all know it is, we all know AT is just dumb.

>>30600830
I mainly like the range finding reticles and don't really like mil dots.

The cliche drugunov scope if you will

So is there any reliable source for surplus 5.45 mags that isn't someone's Ukrainian cousin or that requires you to dox yourself on akfiles?

I have a slr104 coming and would like to spend the rest of the year leading up to november focused on mags and ammo for it and my 107.

>>30601020
>>30601030
No NPAP available at LGS, ordering is fucking dumb at this point. Those are my choices, other than an overpriced Arsenal that's both a ripoff and out if budget.

>>30601013
Occasionally some online retailer will have a shipment of a certain kind. For example
https://rguns.net/shop/russian-ak74-30rd-magazine-5-45x39mm/
A lot of the time websites like that don't show up with simple search terms like "surplus 5.45 magazines" though so you really do have to do a bit of homework to find them.

So I have a 2016 WASR and an npap df. I'm kind of bummed the more I read; none of them are military quality, and likely wouldn't stand anywhere close to a Russian ak, or even an arsenal.

>>30589506
>single stack

Do we just have a single really dedicated NPAP shill now? They're fine rifles but there's not really any benefit to pick them over a WASR unless you just really want a yugo.

Ultimak works just fine. I got lucky, bolted on an ultimak, and a Bushnell red dot.

Went to zero, was good at 25, and 100, and 200, and we were out of room.

It does get hot, but anything will, even stock furniture. My long arms talked me into a magpul forend, and now I can comfortably grab my rifle in any position, without gloves.

The ultimak let's me go over, or under to get to the charging handle. I can't do that with a side rail mounted optic. Which was really important to me. I also got to keep my rear sight, which seems critical to me.

>>30604180
Looks bretty gud.
Did you shave the rear off the dong, or did you get it like that?
What'd you use to finish it?

>>30596165
I'm in love with mine. I'm lanky so a Warsaw pact length stock gives me a nose weld with the dust cover. It goes from even shorter than Warsaw, to long as hell. I'm 6'4",and keep it one notch from all the way out. No more nose weld+folder. Tons of places to mount a sling, and cheek risers. It is bombproof. I don't mess around in the Arctic, or smash things with my rifle. You could probably smash a face or two with no worries. I just wouldn't swing it by the barrel.

Grab one from brownells.com. If you don't like it you can always return it.

>>30600756
That is the rear sight block. It doesn't need to touch anything but your barrel.

Think of that gap like a vagina. Smaller could be better. It really doesn't matter as long as you keep it clean. Look inside, where the gas piston and bolt carrier pass through. Are there scars from something banging off the walls? She may be twisted. Straighten her out for best performance. A bigger initial gap, can indicate poor assembly. At the end of the day if she works, she'll pay the bills. Doesn't matter.

>>30602994
Thank you for the recommendation. I'll look into it.

>>30603049

Any thoughts on which surplus wood is best? My only beef with my current Century arms furniture is that the hand guard wood feels flimsy.

I'd like something with a heavier more dense feel.

i want an ak with plum furniture in 5.45 what are my options

Getting any AK in 5.45 and buying a furniture set

>>30605027
Apex has "good" sets of Romy surplus furniture.
That's a place to start.

http://www.apexgunparts.com/romanian-ak47-akm-wood-stock-set-w-pistol-grip-good.html

The surplus furniture is much sturdier than the US made stuff they are putting on WASRs these days.
That shit is balsa tier junk at best, unfortunately.

>>30605113
Arsenal or a kit built by a reputable builder.
>Or a used rifle on the secondary market, of which there are a few choices. (WASR 2, DDI, Saiga, etc)

The 74 market is pretty slim pickings currently.

I'm likely retarded, but would putting an M72 barrel on an M70 work, let alone work well?

Right you are!

Anyone have a source for NOS 5.45 true blacks and plum mags?

>>30605770
I'm about to pick up some nos plums, can sell you for 25 shipped.

>>30598963

Thanks, does look quite nice, definitely prefer the Galil look. I don't suppose anyone's used both and can attest to functionality/practicality?

>>30606017
Are you in the US? Email address to contact you at?

>>30606529
I'm in Russia. Still interested?

>>30606709

if you can ship to US I am.

>>30606728
Sure, i ship a lot of these things.

I can't decide if I want Russian or Bulgarian (cost effective) or even if they are capatible.

Having my wisdom teeth taken out was one of the most miserable experiences of my life. So much blood, the stitches itched, and my jaw looked like fucking Quagmire's for days.

>>30607319
Same desu. Some people come out of it and eat hard foods in just a couple days. I was completely miserable for almost a week and in so much pain I couldn't sleep until I started taking way more of the hydrocodone than I was supposed to. The surgery itself was awful as well because I never actually "went under", I was awake the entire time and it felt like I was being tortured. Found out later that the surgeon I went to has a bad track record and other people have reported the same thing.

>>30607290
>>30607309
Watch the forum marketplaces or russtock for Russian parts but he's kinda pricey.

>>30607319
>>30607389
God that sounds awful, most pain I felt was the iv needle woke up feeling good, took swabs out of my mouth after 15mins and no bleeding. Ate ice cream

The worst thing when getting mine out was the day after.

>>30607599
>no bleeding
I was gushing blood and pus and swapping gauze for the first 24 hours at least. My sister is having a similar experience to yours though. The only part she really hates is not being able to eat real food yet.

>>30607694
Woot and I work tomorrow....

>>30607760
My friend was like that too, kinda had me freaked out. I stocked up on tons of soft food and had a big burger and fries yesterday to prepare for the hard food fast

>>30607389
>The surgery itself was awful as well because I never actually "went under"
I went out like a light, but that didn't do anything to make the post-op (hurrhurr) any less terrible. All four of mine were completely below the gumline and were removed at the same time, so I wasn't eating anything beyond soup for about a week.

>>30607884
I had 2 like that my upper pair just don't exist.

>>30607884
Yeah everybody says that but I never actually had that black-out experience. The most memorable part was when they broke the teeth into pieces so they could extract the smaller bits. And when they pulled the stitches through because I could feel the thread running through my gums. Obviously the aneasthetic helped with the pain a lot, but it still hurt and it also made me confused and I could see the bloody tools coming in and out of my mouth from under the cloth they placed over my eyes. It was fucking awful.

Also to RUSanon, I got paid a bit in cash today so I will have your money to you very soon.

>>30604436
I shaved it a bit, I didn't know at the time that magpuls had problems with dongs and I thought it was set too far back or something so I sanded it a bit.
It looks alright to me and hey it was only 40 bucks for a full set, hardware and all so I don't really care all that much.

>>30604436
Oh and some miniwax and truoil that I had sitting around, I'm gonna have to put some layers of poly over it because how how weak truoil is to anything that's a solid.

>>30608161
Great, thanks. I have the other parcel packed and will most probably send tomorrow.

I like mine but I wouldn't pay what they go for today.

>>30608503
That's a given, I've been unemployed for 5 months and that's burnt through my savings. But I'm going to be making TRIPLE what I was making working the same amount of hours. Only downside is that it is I'm in a suit and in charge of people's economic futures.

I'm thinking of ordering at least 5k rounds of golden tiger, an ak9 hg, and a nice optic. And that'll be from the first month or 2

Well its a little easier to get 7.62 just because the domestic ammo production has had more time to get running. Until recently the 5.45 was cheaper because you could get really cheap spam cans but you basically missed the boat on that one.

So, just go with which ever round you like better.

>>30608792

I'm very pro-5.45 for my SHTF rifle but for a new buyer I would hesistat to suggest it because ammo is drying up and magazines are almost completely unavailable. Or just have both. Many components except mags and internals are interchangable.

>>30608482
Yup, and love it. It's a really fun toy, probably the most fun rifle I've ever shot. It's a great shooter with the high quality factory 188 russian surplus. It's fine with white box LVE ammo too, and with surplus being so expensive, you almost might as well move over to noncorrosive at this point.
>>30608548
>wouldn't pay what they go for today
I would, but I can't blame others that wouldn't. I'm a real buy once cry once guy and don't settle for anything less than what I actually want. I'm right at the limit of what I'd ever pay though, they're pretty spendy nowdays.

Chimps ur one of my most trusted sellers. Do you have anything up for grabs or will have in the near future? Pls help me be irresponsible.
