For a basic mount: https://www.k-var.com/shop/KV-04S.html
If you really want to get into deep shit, look into the RS Regulate stuff

>NOTE: This item is a Back Order item and will ship as soon as it is available, other items in your cart will ship ASAP
Welp.
I sent the seller an email to see if they'd be willing to just ship me a new rail plate. I figure that would be the quickest way to get a working mount. If not, I guess I'll return it and wait for that one to be available.

>not exactly inexpensive.
No kidding. I know I admitted to being overly stingy earlier, but $180 for what I would need is a bit more than I hoped to spend for a rail.

>>31554685
I don't understand people asking personal preference questions like that. Do/use whichever one YOU like.
I could understand asking if product A is better or worse than product B because someone on here might have experience with both, but what you're asking can really only be answered by you.

So I noticed that a few websites sell these muzzle devices for Saiga 12s that are a full or modified choke while also still being able to put on another muzzle device like a muzzle brake.

So theoretically, what would happen if I bought like 10 of them and stacked them together on the barrel?

Would I get a super tight pattern? Would the gun 'splode? Or would I just be some retard with a 40 inch barrel Saiga?

>>31556482
>>31556509

It's cool, I'm cool. I'm not freaking out. It's just that he's had them for quite a while now. I'm cool.

>>31556714
Lol please do this

Make the one closest to the barrel the loosest choke and make them get progressively tighter towards the end

I have no idea what would happen but it would be funny

>>31560623
Compliancy is a meme perpetuated by manufacturers of US parts to jew you into buying their inferior products. It's only relevant to importers and manufacturers. Don't worry about it and don't mention it. I'm hoping people will eventually forget about it so it can fade into irrelevancy.

>>31560650

Copy and paste from the other thread: Question for AK fanbois, is a WASR 10 worth it to get and spend the rest on ammo or are they really as shit as everyone makes them out to be?

>>31560743
A brand new, WASR-10 is a great starter AK if you don't mind the average as fuck furniture. Lots of shit you can do to personalize them, run all mags fine, and pretty cheap all things considered, current panic buying will probably lead to jacked up prices, but if you can find one and want to get into AKs I definitely recommend picking it up as long as it isn't going far over the $700 mark.

I've only got four true blacks, but I don't know if the hassle of selling mags only to buy more mags that are just as good and the same color but have a different country of origin and different markings (see: autism) would be worth it.

>>31563492
a few of my guys would basically take all of the springs and bundle them up and tape them together, 50+ mag springs all bundled up, so hopelessly tangled. I never, ever got the hang of it. Something about how the springs tangled together just boggled my mind and I would sit there spending 10+ minutes on just two springs tangled together and fuck with them until I made them MORE tangled. I would just fuck with them until they came apart.

>>31563579
Ask the guys who used them, people get dented surplus steel mags all the time. And when they're dented the follower gets stuck and it doesn't feed reliably.

>>31563598
I think this guy is right, if you count the coils they're the same. Also I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure the 45 rounders have the same length spring as the 30.

Why

>>31563875
Mine was so tight it wouldn't swing freely, I could open it halfway and it would just stay there no matter what angle I held it at.

Lots of surplus parts are coming into the US now. I would bet that they just had some stocks that had been used hard and gotten loose. Also Tula is not known for their manufacturing consistency.

>>31563884

Some are hedging their bets and getting "assault weapons" before shrilliary can get something shoehorned in.

But if Trump get in and things relax it'll be shown to be a bad time to have overpayed for a WASR or similar rifle.

That's a set I sold a while back. It's very easy to fit them, I folded over a piece of sheetmetal to go over the tang at the receiver end (whith a couple "ears" on either side) and it fit perfectly without play. Not as comfy as the palm swell style or poly lowers so I sold them off.

Do you have an AK already?
A fixed stock should always be your first AK, but I'm sure an NPAP DF will serve you well.

Just know what you're getting into with an underfolder, comfort/cheekweld wise.

That's the best your shitty DDI built AK-74 has looked so far... So how long until you ugly it up again?

>>31565159
When I made fakelite mags I scratched the polymer with sandpaper and nails and then brushed on wood stain in uneven swirl patters. Top it off with some brush on poly in the swirl patterns.

I think if you added the green or whatever on top of the wood stain and then polyed it up it would look convincing.

>>31565231
>i'll be spending an extra 100 for some decent furniture
Only if you plan on putting Russian furniture on it.
You can get more a couple non Russian sets for less than $100
>Or until recently at least, the market seems a little barren currently.

I'm sure, as long as you inspect it before you accept it, that the NPAP DF will be more than acceptable.

>As long as you accept that it requires snowflake parts requirements, of course.

>>31565249
was planning on putting some balkan surplus wood on it anyways, so snowflake parts arent a big deal

>>31565241
Meh, why do all that, when I can just paint an actual bakelite and not have to fuck with trying to make a fake swirl pattern?
Plus the arsenal molds make it that much more "convincing".

But give it a shot, it's not like you can't strip paint.

>>31565256
I'd say go for it then.
>Maybe wait until WASRs hopefully get a little more reasonable in price again, to add one to your collection.

Hydrodipping sounds like a cool way to make custom "fakelite" poly mags in whatever colors you want, might be worth a shot. Gives you swirls and everything.

Honestly, I never expected you to do that. Part of buying the low cost mags that were described as having a bit of rust on them, was the fact that I would have to clean them up and probably shoot a coat of paint on the floor plate.
I appreciate that you are considerate enough to feel that you had to do that, but it isn't necessary.

I think he's got 5.45 because the 7.62 hasn't gone out of stock in ages. I have several stacks of crates full of the shit and literally zero rounds of range ammo because of the election.

It's to cover up the exposed steel to prevent it from rusting. Pretty sure it's always black from the factory and white means it's been touched up.

Like I said, I'm not 100% sure, but most of the time when I see white paint it's on mags that have seen a bit of use. I don't think I've ever seen white paint on a factory mint mag. And while your mag is very nice it has obviously been used before it reached you.

Vepr pioneer or saiga sporter are your best options

They were the 5th or 6th variation if some sources I've read are to be believed

first came the grey, beige, white and brown magazines, then the experimental green in 2 shades both with and without lanyard loop.
The greens did not pass their tests, and ultimately not accepted for use.
Finally the black ones that were issued.

>Some of the first test mags, not mine though.

>>31570568
I don't have a scale handy, but isn't a 103 mag lighter still?

>>31570568

The lightest possible is a unreinforced bakelite with a aluminum follower and spring.

>>31571044

nope

No.

>>31571062
Got some proof to back that up?
Because I have uninforced bakelite and aluminum waffles, but I'm not really up to digging them out to prove you wrong.

>>31571172

I buy and sell bakelites 100 at a time on forums,It's not uncommon to get bakelites with aluminum waffle, slab side, and even AK103 internals, since the russians never wasted anything, I don't have access to a scale, but I'm 80% sure they are lighter then a Valmet.

>>31564578
Are EG kits even that rare?

My bad, i was skimming the thread at work and mistook >>31570568 for an ordinary circle 10 waffle.

>>31571172
>>31571062
Seems plausible. Especially if you're talking about the truly unreinforced bakelites that don't even have steel locking lugs. But I dunno, the Bakelite material itself isn't super light but the aluminum prototype is light as a feather.

>>31571222
The 5.45 kits are, 7.62 kits are somewhat common

I don't know why anyone would use the Jmac FSB on a 7.62 build

>>31570235

Not trying to be a douche here, but didn't the group buy mags arrive from russia about a week ago? You got any estimate on when you'll ship them out?

>>31571278

Most Ridgeback bakelites and prior don't have steel reinforced feed lips

Bakelite group by when?

>>31571394
That is correct but if you go all the way back the very first ones didn't even have steel lugs. Either that or the Russians forgot to put the lugs in the mold and the Bakelite filled in the cavity.

It's /akg/ not /Russian only general/

>It's /akg/ not /Russian only general/

I know, cuntface, but what's the point. goddammit germany. I never should have bought them.

>>31571222
I haven't been able to find a kit under 700
>>31571278
What's wrong with using it on an sbr

>>31571512
It's made as a clone of the MPi-AKS-74NK gas block which is 5.45

It's all good.
Circle 10s are a good bit heavier.

>>31571220
Nope.
Even with aluminum follower and floorplate the Valmet is still the lightest mag, it's not even close.
>Here's an unreinforced bakelite with original internals first.
The aluminum floorplate wouldn't fit without bending so I weighed them seperately.
There was an 8g difference.
But the bakelite was still well over 200g, even with aluminum guts.
I believe the aluminum internals overall only made an 11g difference.
Nowhere near enough to make it lighter than the finnish waffle.

>>31571654
5 seconds on ebay.
Next question!

And with aluminum follower.
>Again, floorplate wouldn't fit without modifying it, which I wasn't about to do.

The difference on the floorplates was 8 grams, I can post those on the scale too if you want.

>>31571684
what's the heaviest bullet for 5.45x39

When's the next group buy?

>>31571706
64 grain but good luck finding any.
Next question!

>>31571706
60gr is readily available
