Those guys are amazing. Some of the parts are a little pricey but they are in excellent condition. They will take measurements for you. Shipping isn't too bad. I think it ran around 11-15 for the three times I ordered. They'll provide a tracking number as well. Just use a browser that can translate. Also, if you don't see something on the site just ask. They may have it.

>>30998618
>being this daft
The reason nothing fits the C39 and C39V2 is because Century is retarded. The first C39 had proprietary furniture and the V2 has "AKM standard" however you have to completely fuck up normal AKM furniture for it to fit.

Help me out /akg/.

I want to get at least one AK for my collection, maybe more in the future, but I'm not sure what to go with. I've been an AR boy up until now and have just kept a handful of lowers with multiple barrels, uppers and other miscellaneous accessories.

Should I go for 5.45 or 7.62? Fixed stock, underfolder or side folder? What countries and companies are good or should be avoided? I know IO is shit, but not really sure about the rest, like DDI and James River Armory.

I'd say go 7.62 for your first AK. 5.45 if you fall in love. Fixed stock and sidefolders are great, underfolders are slightly uncomfortable but fine if you really want the look. Avoid IO and Century's RAS47. C39V2 is controversial, I'd stay away personally.

WASR, NPAP, and Arsenal are good-to-go.
People have mixed feelings about DDI, but they seem decent.
AK63D for an entry-level underfolder if you can find a good deal ($700 or less).
I don't know much about James River Armory.

>>31000241
Thanks for the help and avice.

My lgs has an OPAP for 650 and Saiga that has a pistol grip and normal stock, but the stock sporter hand guard and gas tube for 750.

Between those two, which would be the better choice in your opinion? I admit I'm drawn to the OPAP because of the wood furniture, but I'm not sure if a Serbian AK is worse than a Russian one.

>>31000331
That's a good choice to be making considering the state of the AK market right now. OPAPs are built like tanks but slightly heavier than a standard AK (thicker RPK style receiver). That may not bother you. Serbian/Yugo AKs have their own style furniture and do not have as many aftermarket options in that department.

Saigas are on the way out, if you want a real Russian AK you may not get another chance. I'm pessimistic about the chances of the Izhmash import ban being lifted. You could always have the front end converted later for the proper AK103 look, but that's more time and money.

As with any gun purchase, look over the rifle thoroughly before committing. Here's a good guide:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ6uyIo3gwM

Is there anything wrong with using rusted mags, like will it have any negative effect on my AK?

>>31000442
Thanks for the video! I'll be sure to go over each rifle thoroughly before deciding.

Based on what you said about each rifle I'm kind of torn now. The idea of getting a Russian one is appealing, especially if there won't be any more. I looked up some conversions and the process to do it and realized I can't do it myself, not particularly handy and don't have the space for a press. I'm not sure if it's worth pouring more money into at that point to have it shipped off and converted by someone else.

The OPAP sounds pretty good by comparison. I do like the wood furniture on it. I'm also not too bothered by the aftermarket since all I intend to put on either one is a sight and sling.

Thanks for all the help anon.

Hey is it normal for the fore ends of the handguards can sorta squeeze together the slightest bit?

>>31000596
Unless you want a russian for the sake of having a russian, the OPAP is probably your best bet. Glad to be of assistance.

>>31000608
Yep, I put refinished soviet laminate on my DAKM,and it did that. After I shot it a bit the lower handguard moved forward slightly and became very tight against the handguard retainer. I can't squeeze it anymore.

>>30997464
I do not understand.

>>31000676
Idk mane I hope you're right cuz it just feels wrong

What's the best paint to put on top of a WASR's parkerization to get the dark glossy look that russian AKs have? Are there any guides out there?

My new zastava NPAP. We've put 300 rounds through it so far, it's pretty fun

>>31000518
Unless they are so rusted that the follower and/or spring won't move freely, then no, it'll be OK. If your worried about it a lot, take some oil and fine grit sand paper to it to get the rust off, then spray paint it, and bake it in the oven on I think 300° for about ten minutes to set in the paint.

Serious question: which would serve me better? AK platform or AR platform? I mean like through anything. I like the look of an AR but I like the general usability and durability of an AK.

Shoot both and figure out which one you like more.

>>31003884
AK if you like spending money once with the option to improve your weapon for a few hundred if you really want it, AR if you like being surrounded by overwhelming pressure to spend 3x the cost of the rifle on accessories and internal replacements

theyre equally cheap to shoot but to be honest, cheap 5.45 is a little better in my experience than cheap 5.56

NIB Saiga in 7.62 for 650?

Should I get it?

>>31004557
It actually isn't bad at all. I shot 500 rounds through my new underfolder in full-retard spamfire, with a good cheekweld, without paracord or any padding. No bruise or pain. Wrapping it makes it even more tolerable.

Yes, if you want one.
With the import ban the prices are only going to go up so if you wait a year it will cost more.

Any trick to knocking a fsb pin loose? Trying to install a detent pin/spring in my AMD but that first fucking pin wont budge at all. Been soaking it with penatrating oil and smacking it with a 2.5lb hammer. No movement what so ever.

>>31005199
More hammer.

>>31005241
Well shit. Im hitting it pretty fucking hard. Removed one before that didnt take much effort. This one is actually worrying me that ill fuck something up.

>>31005294
The key to driving pins out is securing the pinned object so that it's rock solid. You don't want to the FSB to be moving at all when you're tapping on the pin. That way you get all the energy from the punch transferred directly to the stuck pin. It makes a huge difference. Just laying it on the carpet isn't enough, you want it in a vise as secure as possible.

If you really can't get it out, even after PB blasting it, you'll have to drill it out and replace then pin (possibly with an oversized one) when you want to put the FSB back on.

>>31005840
>laying on 2x4s
Theres your problem, wood is pretty fucking soft, so it absorbs some of the force. You need a sharp impact to overcome friction, wood dulls that impact. It's like trying to split wood on dirt, your mauls just gonna get stuck.

>npap df kit on the way from Apex

Fuck yeah tabuk carbine time

so I'm kicking around picking up one of the 16" AMDs and getting it cut to 12.5 and pinned. Reasoning is it's on a FEG receiver vs a Spud or other american receiver. I have never priced out the costs for a cut/crown/pin on an AK though and cant find a price readily posted anywhere. ADCO doesnt do it on AKs.

>>31000442

>>31006658
Get a yugo if you really qamt a yugo. Wasr will be more compatable with stardard ak parts

>>31006658
What are the prices of each? NPAP is a bit nicer than the other "average" AKs, but the 2015 WASRs are much more comparable.

>>31006695
npap 750
wasr 650

>>31006756
That's a hard one. I got my NPAP DF for 600, adding up to right around 700 with tax, shipping, and FFL fee. If you really want the NPAP, I'd suggest buying it from here. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/577326843

As the other Anon said, WASRs are more compatible. If you want to swap out furniture for polymer or tacticool or whatever else, you'll have full freedom to do so. NPAP only accepts NPAP handguards, but the pistol grips are universal.

Having shot other people's WASRs before, I prefer the NPAP. The cheekweld isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be, and wrapping it with paracord makes a full cheekweld entirely tolerable even during long shooting sessions.

There fucking shitty from the reports on AKFiles and Facebook. Rust painted over and shitty fit.

>>31005840
I can't guarantee that a more secure setup will get your pins out, because sometimes they can be rusted and seized up in there and you pretty much have to drill them out, but any tricky pin is never going to be punched out laying on 2x4's. There's just way too much give.

In the past I've had pinned items that I was too lazy to put into a vise, or maybe it was a tricky thing to lock into a vise and I was too lazy to make a vise block for it, so I just tried punching it out on the floor or on a piece of wood. Lots of frustration with very little progress, usually end up scratching up whatever I'm working on. Move it to the vise and actually take the time to lock it in place rock solid, and the pin comes out like it was barely in there in the first place. What the other anon said about sharp impact to overcome the friction is totally correct.

Hey slavaboos

I don't really like AK's. I've had several over the years and always wind up selling them. That said, with the impending threat of Madame President I want one in the safe to round out my collection.

I really wanted an SLR107 but looks like that's not in the cards. Local shop has a nice SLR104-FR though for $800...I like 5.45 but the difference in mag prices between 74's and 47's always throws my heeb nose in the air.

Should I still get it or hold out for an x39 gun in the same price range?

>>31009110
>hold out for an x39 gun
They're both x39 you mong.

>>31009110

You'll be able to sell the 104 for more than $800 if things go sideways in November. There's that.

Group buys. There's one that goes on here and there's a guy planning on bringing in a bunch of mags on reddit's ak47... board? Whatever you call those things. Make an account on akfiles and wait forever to get approved and hunt the marketplace, that shit is a goldmine if you're willing to sift through it.

Outside of that you're paying around $40 per mag, which wouldn't nearly suck as much if anyone actually had something else you wanted to order that made the shipping worth it.

500 shekels for babby's first AK. I like how it's light and just werks. Seems to have a 16" barrel. I will probably get the stock adapter, too.

>>31013576
It's definitely the most fun rifle in my collection shot per shot, and accurate for me too.
But I think you'll have to either give up your dreams or just spend what it takes to get one.
Keep in mind, the scope alone is about $300 of the price in a psl package. So you'd still be up to 1100+ buying a vepr and posp scoping it too.
Between the spring loaded butt, 10rd mags, good brake, general looks, and butterflies in your stomach every time you see juba using one in a movie or on the history channel, it's got some pretty decent value still.
There's one at a LGS going for about 1500, but that's the only one I've seen in person for a long time. I can offer store details if you had any serious interest in buying it, seems better than gunjoker deals and you could maybe talk them down a bit.

>>31013711
I saw a guy selling one at a local gun show. The dealer was cool enough to let me hold it and I wanted to buy it on the spot. I think it was $1200-1300
If I hadn't just bought a usp I would have seen if he would put it on layaway.

It's a vepr-1v in 556. Good luck finding one now.
A batch of 1v rifles were imported shortly before the ukraine stuff happened. They sold out overnight, prices doubled, then it's been dry ever since. You need tons of patience to even find one on gunbroker etc.
On the plus side, there's no reason I know of that more couldn't be imported. But it's been a long time now and IDK if it'll ever happen.
An aes-10b in 762x39 is the other option that instantly comes to mind for me. But even those are hard to find, and they're not $500 any more. You'll probably be spending 1000+ now that they're gone. Again, another batch of those could hit our shores any time too.

Good taste, what kind of USP?

>>31013913
I've seen the AES, and I'm definitely looking for 7.62, already got a 5.45 AK so I want to be able to cover both calibers and magazine sets. I've heard conflicting things about it though, being CAI, I plan on running the gun relatively hard

>>31013809
>any1 know if you would be able to swap out this furniture for standard akm furniture?

Yes you would.

Full size .40 police trade in. I over payed a bit, but hey I'm only 20 so it's not like I could get one anywhere else
Do you know if you can pop the tritium vials out of the sights to replace them?

Imported by CAI is not the same as "built by" CAI.
And if it's not obvious already, I'm also not a fan of doubling up on calibers too much. None of my 4 aks are similar to eachother, different stocks, calibers, barrel lengths, etc etc.

Are they Trijicon? I know you can send them into get replaced at the very least.

>>31014095
Not him, but tritium vials are replaceable and actually cheap to buy online. Read up on the procedure and try to get yours out before you order new ones. I have some dead trijicon sights and have tried everything to get my vials out, with no luck. Apparently some are easier to replace than others.
Also take care to not break the vials as tritium is radioactive.

w2c plum furniture/mags?

That's a tasty AK

>>31010670
>No shovel stock
C'mon anon, it isn't a complete collection without one

>>31014172
underfolders should almost count, they're almost as uncomfortable as a shovel and also make it take 3x as long to line up your irons since your eyes don't land in the right spot

>>31014116
True, but I've still heard problems. I was leaning mostly towards a Polish RPK imported by CAI cause I trust their factories more than the Gypsies, and I can't part with 3k for a Russian one. I'm basically budgeting up to 1500 for this one and hoping for 11-1200. But in the back of my mind I was considering an M72 kit and getting Nodak receiver and chrome barrel but will it take Russian RPK furniture?

>>31010905
Would buying one to convert into a standard type akm be worth it? What about buying a parts kit and redoing it ddi style? They're cheap and aks so it's hard for me to not see some possibilities there.

>>31013221
>most authentic carving style
Shitty.

>>31014129
They're Tru Dot.
>>31014130
I've been linked websites that sell tritium vials in the past. I just need to figure out how to get them out.

Anon from the other day here with the slr that went to Puerto Rico. Guess what finally came in after waiting a month

>>31014819
Now form 1 it

>>31014819
>a month to get from nevada to texas via puerto rico

I'm genuinely surprised. I would have bet money that it "got lost" in the PR post office and somebody there kept it.
Anyway. Glad you finally got it!

>>31014819
Congrats. I was honestly sad for you.

Whats /k/s recommendation on Scopes for a VEPR in .308? are the POSP scopes worth the money or should I just buy a rail adapter for the side plate and use a western made scope?

Got a new in box opap just yesterday for $600. Am I /akg/ now?

Also what are the first things I change on it?

>>31016464
Why the fuck do you "need" to change anything?

>>31016464
Get surplus furniture off of Apex. If they don't have Yugo stocks available there, search around some.

>>31016464
The only thing I would change is the grip to a Yugo surplus grip.
>And start hunting around for the components for the night sight cutouts.
Nice rifle anon.

>>31016537
The OPAPs don't have the boat oar stock the NPAPs had.
They already have "surplus" furniture.

>>31016202
Oh I know it kinda looks like a friend's 106fr but his is a older production.
