one of the fairly rare, very well researched TFB articles, and it's about our baby the AK

>>31843543
Heh. It's funny to think that papa Kalashnikov was a Grand fanboy

>>31843608
>At one point curator Natsvaladze commented that John Garand had not created as many different weapons as had Kalashnikov. Mikhail Timofeyevich snapped back at him. “When you get it correct the first time, you don’t spend your time designing weapons for a museum!”

>>31843543
>Another flat surface on the bolt lug rests against this shelf during cycling, preventing the bolt from trying to make a turning move, and reducing friction during operation. Just before locking, a bump in the receiver knocks the bolt out of alignment with this shelf, allowing it to complete its rotation.

>Interestingly, while the post-war M14 rifle disposed of the anti pre-engagment mechanism in favor of a roller, the Russian Kalashnikov rifle – also derived from the Garand – has retained it through the latest AK-100 series variants. No doubt that rifle’s tremendous reputation for reliability owes something to this feature.

Good stuff, I don't think I've ever really fully understood the purpose of the "bump rivet" or the ramp on the bullet guide until now.

>>31843211
If you modify the furniture and/or get the right retainers yes. Most ak furniture will be too big since the receiver is thicker on the vepr so you have to shave it down.

>>31842906
>mfw these don't take AK74 profile barrels

While I'm betting someone will have a run of 5.45 barrels made, I wanted to be a horrible faggot and build one in 5.56

Anyone have a muzzle brake for their Vepr they'd recommend? And any good bipods ?

Anyone have experience with the High Standard brand of AK?

>>31844310

I get a workout just looking at that.

>>31844310
What model RMR is that? Do you like it? Heard the dual illuminated ones had problems with lighting if you were indoors and you looked outside while it was bright.

>>31844169
what about stuff like veprs that use rpk receivers? sorry if that is not the correct lingo, new to this

Picked up 19 steel combloc mags and 200 hollow points today, and got the springs and followers for my Russian bakes. Hopefully the bodies come in the next package. Anyone else have foreign shippers send the internals separately from the bodies?

>>31844353
Rmr08. I got it as a gift and threw it on my ak just to see how I like it. The dual illumination does have some problems when you go in and out of bright to dark place. I'll probably save it until I get a mos glock or something.

>>31844508
>Anyone else have foreign shippers send the internals separately from the bodies?

So, how much did you pay for something that you have no idea what it is?

>>31844670
Trying to avoid that if possible. Is there no way to ID without opening?

>>31844657

Steel core: probably. Date of MFG looks like 67. There is a image that turns up describing how to read Russian boxes, I'll see if I can find my copy.

>>31844680

Don't fucking open it. Keep it for a very rainy day. I hate retards who crack open 7N6 just to finger fuck the rounds.

>>31844527
I can get a dual illuminated one for cheap, but do you think I should just shell out the extra for an LED model? Also do you like the triangle reticle?

>>31844692
Yeah this, I regret opening my yugo. Never again so long there's commercial to fire

>>31844692
Just open the wooden crate to see the label.

>>31844701
Triangle is okay but I definitely prefer dots over it. I would say led would be better unless you'll be using it strictly outside. The only problem that i really have is when I'm in the house and I move from a dark room to a well lit room

>>31844734
Please daddy. I'll do anything

>>31844738

I have and love both. For someone new into AK's right now I would probably say 7.62 just for more prevalence of ammo and mags. That said 5.45 would be the first I would use in a gun fight.

>>31844585

7.62 first because reasons

May not be the right thread, but I shot an AK for the first time today and it felt absolutely amazing compared to my AR. What's generally a good AK to get started with in the $500-$700 range?

>>31844848

DDI. Don't buy IO or CAI.

>>31844795
Thanks pal. I'm going to guess it is corrosive steel core.

>>31844848

>>31842587

>>31844862
I'll have to shop around and see if I can find one with furniture I like. The one I shot he said was called a WASR 10/6(3)? Loved it

>>31844888
Furniture is cheap. Just get a good WASR and change out the horrific furniture.

>>31844888

My favorite furniture right now is from Hogue. It's lightweight and feels good. I tried steel hand guards recently and it's just too heavy to be practical for me and it can decrease accuracy. The only other must have upgrade is replacing the shepards pin with a retainer plate.

They claim that by increasing the Length Of Pull by that much that it makes a difference in how the gun handles. Seems like a crock of shit to me. That extra half inch won't do shit to the LOP.

Dont cut your handguard retainer you will regret it.

I'm going to build a khyber sbr. Childers receiver, romanian parts, 5.5 triangle. JMAC for the fsgb combo. The question is the barrel- should I cut down a polish or use the Ak builder us made12.5?

Okay looking at the CNC Folding Stock as a replacement for my WASR 10. The question is what do I use in the meantime?

I have two of my pictures side-by-side of a standard AR-15 Carbine Buttstock and the Magpul Carbine Fixed stock.

Which one should I stick with temporarily /akg/?

>>31845270

There's a lot of awful taste in that picture.

>>31845270
>>31845360
Eh don't listen to this faggot. It looks pretty nice except it's kind of stupid to spend the time to paint all the parts and leave the receiver bare.

>>31845016
It's too bad you lose the cleaning rod with that handguard. That thing's come in handy a few times.

>>31845270
Lack of cleaning rod is disturbing.

>>31845498
>That thing's come in handy a few times

Care to elaborate? I've never had to use mine. (I use a cleaning kit with a brass rod for actual cleaning)

>>31845541
Never happened on my AK but I've had some stuck cases in an aftermarket barrel on a pistol and I used that to knock it out. I just like the feeling of knowing that if I did get a stuck case I got something right there to fix it with.

>>31845634
Ah, stuck case, that makes more sense than stuck projectile which is what I was thinking.
I too like having that cleaning rod there, just in case.

>>31844425
can anyone answer my question, google isn't helping

>>31845663

>>31845634

when are these new DDI ak's coming out? interested in the triangle stock version

>>31847153

>>31847102
The stock and handguards are East German. Also, what the fuck kinda pistol grip is that? It reminds me of a black cock.

>>31847102
>>31847264
Does not look like the original gas tube either.

>>31847102
After doing further reasearch, you did very well.

>>31847102
I like the handguards on that rifle.

>>31847353
Pre-WASR exports seemed to be better quality.

>>31847264
I have no idea what grip it is, but I don't think it belongs on there because someone put it on crooked and shaved some of the grip don to make it fit behind the trigger guard.

>>31847102
Nice find! I heard they ground off the bayonet lug to make them US compliant. I wonder if a cleaning rod can still be secured on the rifle.

Definitely save the East German furniture and get yourself a nice wood or plum poly set.

Milled vs Stamped?

Is a milled receiver worth an extra few hundred bucks? In particular I'm looking at a WASR vs a DDI milled. ~740 vs ~1140.

I'm the guy with the WASR10 in some of the earlier pictures. Yeah the SM-13 is a solid Picatinny Mount. I bought mine through a dealer for about $130 since S&H was going to equal that same price from K-Var.

It's an awesome mount for variety of different optics and I like it because it brings the weight of the rifle to rear instead of the front. Can't knock the RS regulate since its simplistic and low-profile in design but each optic piece requires a new bracket which is a whole other pricing nightmare in comparison.

Mostly LOP, it doesn't seem like it would increase it a lot but the difference is extremely noticeable. It actually feels weird to me to hold the gun without it

Well from my maths it would probably be a matter of getting enough info on the receiver to make one here which would depend on where you go. Also no full auto so it'd technically be an rk92

The early import Wasrs are actually made from the best parts but are known for being quite unpolished, rough around the edges, lacking in any elegance

>>31849470
>unpolished
That's a subtle way to mention the 45-degree FSBs.

>>31849514
I think you mean gas blocks, which are normal.

>>31849514
do you mean gas blocks?

when I say unpolished I'm really talking about excessive mag wobble due to the magwells being opened with shitty tools. Canted sights. Terrible receiver markings. There's really not much wrong with the parkerized finish but it turns a lot of people off because it seems so rough and shitty. Rough action. etc

but they were made from most all surplus romy parts back then, including the barrels, which is just great.
Im sorry if the post doesn't make sense i tried proof reaading it
I mean face it, if you take an uneducated person and present them with a Wasr of any generation and a C39, they'd pick the C39 any day. It just seems like a better made gun when you mess with it.

Romanians wanted their AK-74 clone to share as many parts as possible with the AKM so they could save on spare parts and tooling. They reused the same gas block housing but it's drilled to 90 degrees.

I'd get an npap. Honestly, probably the only ak you can find for less than $650 nowadays that isn't a piece of shit since WASRs have gone to $850.

>>31851775
^Agreed, 7.62x39 is much more affordable and available. Plus it gives the 100% authentic AK experience.
I really enjoy 5.45 but I sold my 74 and all my 7N6 ammo when the import ban went into place and I could double all of the money I'd spent on it.
I went and bought more 7.62x39 AK's and lots of ammo.

Though I'm still tempted occasionally by an SLR-106 simply because I love the 74 aesthetic and have tons of 5.56 for AR's.

12.5" AKbuilder barrels are set up for use with the AMD65 gas piston length, and would require you to use an AMD gas tube and piston.

>>31852792

>>31852686
Haha its horrible, im on the marketplace all the time.

>>31852873
Only options are wolf and silver bear. Everyone using it is switching to 5.56, and the guns are very uncommon in the US, so there's not a big market for it if imports do die. Hornady likes to discontinue their obscure ammo so I don't trust that either.

I've watched 54R practically die. Hornady discontinued their match loads which were about the only ammo my Tigr likes, and ppu match hasn't been imported all year. We pretty much have wolf and a few other garbage cheap brands in heavy bullets that don't do well with the light twist rate I have.

I want ammo I'm guaranteed to be able to get in 10-20 years, and a greater variety of it at that.

>>31852918
7n6 is still 25 cpr shipped. The wolf sealed and lacquered is also good.

>>31852965
Honestly I really do like 5.45 which is why it was my first choice. I had a tantal years ago. I just think a 106 would be a much better option. I can actually buy the ammo in my local gunshops as well. I'm planning to take it out for groundhogs and coyotes instead of just paper punching.

>>31852992
5.45 is way better for that

>>31853015
Will it be around in a few decades easily available though?

>>31853015
Not particularly. 5.56 gives you a lot more options than 5.45. I like 5.45 but it's kinda of ridiculous to discount the sheer variety of 5.56 loads you can get.

>>31853028
Damn right. Trump is gonna win.

>>31852918
So convert your 5.45 guns to 5.56. not that complicated.

>>31852992
You only need cheap ammo for groundhogs and yotes. 5.45 wolf works great.

>I never expected this overwhelming response against a 5.56 ak
It's not really an overwhelming response against it. It's more anons taking the bait about 5.45 being a dying caliber.

It's not growing, and certainly not as widely available as 5.56, but it's not dying either and there's plenty of demand to keep the round for a long time.

And it's only a matter of time before a manufacturer starts brass 5.45 production. Hell, there's even HK 4.6x30 being manufactured and sold at .46/rd.

>>31853517
Buy whatever caliber aks you want. /k/ is full of retards that love to grasp at straw arguments against anything that doesn't fit their narrow view of what's ok.
My 556 ak is as dead reliable as anything else, and I'm not worried about any common caliber(no matter the side of the pond it comes from) disappearing. Demand for each caliber mandates that someone will pick up production if another source disappears.
