We heard you liked guns so we put a gun on your gun so you can shoot while you shoot.
>>31886624
A drum? In 5.45? Is such a thing possible?
I know a few years back a guy was selling them on ARFCOM. He made them himself. He was cutting off the tops of Polish and Romanian steel mags and heliarc welding them to the tops of old Chinese steel drums. They were NOT cheap.
>>31886654
Not sure about the one in that pic but there is for sure a polymer 95 round 5.45 drum currently being manufactured. It's in some videos and trade show pics and shit.
Are there civilian-legal GP25s? I know you can get a civilian version of an M203 and chuck golf balls around or whatever.
So Croatian mags are bad then?
>>31886684
All destructive devices.
A bunch of improperly dewatted ones were imported for airsfot use. Fairly simple to reactivate apparently and the ATF has been trying to find them all for years.
>>31886684
Might be possible for a manufacturer to get some demilled ones, rebuild them, and have a permanent insert that reduces the diameter like the m203 ones.
>>31886684
Evidently there are but there's not really supposed to be
As far as I know the only GP grenade launchers ever imported that don't belong to the government for foreign weapon familiarization or whatever are a small batch of deacts that I believe were sold by rusmilitary. The ATF decided they weren't satisfied with the extent to which they had been demilled and declared them all destructive devices and that the owners turn them in. Not everyone did, of course. I know Boof has a destructive device GP-25 that is from one of those deacts that he had reactivated. Which is kind of funny because it proves the ATF right.
>>31886684
You could import a demilled one and reactivate it, but that would be a shot in the dark with a lot of educated guesses, because it's not like any dimensioned drawings of those things are floating around.
Also, and I guess this is being pedantic, but civilians CAN own a GP25 in America. SOT's are civilians, after all, and if they could get a hold of one through some middle man in Elbownia they could import it. The NFA item import ban in the '68 GCA only applied to the general public. SOT's can still bring in all the fun stuff.
>>31886770
Not really the case anymore.
NFA items can be importer for shit like scientific testing, "sales samples", and government contracts.
As of the last year-ish ATF has really cracked down on the research and sales samples imports, to the point where you basically need a pending government contract to have any chance of getting them in. Encountered this problem with some NSVs I was doing for someone else.
The way to get it done now is either to import into an FTZ and do whatever you need there or to get permission for a temporary import from State Department.
9x39 mags anyone?

what do you guys think of the c39v2?
>>31886995
No.

It makes a decent club.
These look neat.

ALL I WANT ARE 104 AND 105 BARREL ASSEMBLIES
anybody have one of those new vepr converted 5.45? they looked like a cucked ak74 with the incorrect parts but I know the insides are nice
>tfw dont want to put a sight on my ak because i think they look bad and ruin the ascetics of the rifle
>canted front sight
JUST
I ordered an SLR104FR
I am excited, but nervous, will I like the AK lifestyle?
New production Bulgarian steel ribbed mags are good, right? They seem like the old milsurp ones but with plastic followers.
>>31887141
"Need to" really wouldn't be that hard just custom mag catch
>>31887300
yeah, I have 6, they're rock solid
Do you guys ever say you own an AK and then someone says "I have bullets for those in my trunk"?
I've met 3 people who said this
>>31886995
What is actually the issue with the c39? The BCG eating itself?
Are M70ABM rifles from century g2g?
I really want a milled ak but I don't want to pay milled ak prices.
Also are underfolders as horrid as they look?
>>31887392
No, but from now on I'm going to take the initiative.
>I have an AK, do you have bullets for it in your trunk?
will update with results
>>31887449
that's a century build. avoid
>>31886969
I was eyeballing those but I can't afford a $75 paperweight. They'd be super neat but I will literally do nothing with them but look a them and think they're cool.
>>31887990
I like the AK. Who built it?
On the other hand I'm kind of boggled at all the Nancy Drew DVDs, though.

>>31888138

Yes, it's a model that is posted in every single on of these threads, in fact it was posted earlier in this very thread
>>31888083
It's just an SLR104

You don't deserve that AK9 rail, you horrible person

thanks for correcting the record foggot
>>31889124
also, one interesting detail
Izhmash seen to trying to improve barrel profile and gas block design with the Ak-12
in the old AK, especially the dimpled barrel AK-74
the recoil of the GP-25/30 grenade launcher can dislocate the gasblock

one more note
the third and fourth prototype lack this feature
>>31889213
the Saiga version is ready to hit the market
not American market though
>>31889124
At least this one has a better finish. Jesus christ does the one in the OP looks horrible.

I don't think we're talking about the same thing.
I might hold another group buy soon if there is interest
>>31889188
Cпacибo, пaпa Пyтин!
How is red army 5.45? It is the only 5.45 locally and doesnt seem like a bad price of 6.99
>>31889864
For ??
>>31889952
Not drums. More rpk bakes though I believe as well as a lot of 7.62 bakes
>>31889864
I'd be interested in some 7.62 30-round bakes and one or two top-loading drums. Or maybe some aluminum waffles, depending on how the price would be.
Are those things you'd be including in the buy?
>>31889982
Hell ya i need some 30rnd 7.62x39 bakes.
Aprox how much per mag ?
>>31889982
I'm looking for new bakes in 5.45 or plums or blacks.
>>31890016
From what I know, we bought RusAnon out of plums last time. He may still have some blacks, I'll have to check with him
What the fuck is going on here
>>31890035
Thanks. I'll take excellent condition blacks or Bakelite if possible.
>>31890008
Probably around the $25 mark
>>31887077
What is called? Where to buy it?
>>31889982
This is me:
>>31890005
I'd be up for a group buy for 7.62 bakes. Any interest in including waffles? Looks like they're only 250-400 RUB (~$3-5USD) more than 30-round bakes over there.
>>31890048
Count me in for some 7.62 bakelites. No chances on drums though?
>>31889355
Pre 89
Could be shill bidding, funny though
>>31890048
Im interested in bakes of either/both caliber(s), rpk or 30rd. Another anon said aluminum waffles too, id be down for that. And drums. Honestly anything but plums really
>>31890048
Count me in for at least 4 7.62x39 bakes
>Mag bodies arrived in my local post office today and are expected to be delivered this afternoon
Holy cow, the whole process started October 23, the mag bodies were in a post office in Russia on the 27th, and now they're already in my town in WA. That's less than two weeks to get from Russia to here. That's insane, I've never had anything from Europe get to me this quickly, let alone magazine parts from Russia which usually anything from Russia takes quite a bit longer for me.
>>31890240
I've had some packages arrive oddly fast before like you describe
Currently waiting on push button recoil rod and AK-103 brake from Russia
>>31890240
Real neat but pull your damn pants up anon
>>31890257
It's just weird because I've never had anybody from Yurop to be so on the ball with shipping before and it's even weirder because these were slavs of all people who usually take forever

>>31890359
Also could use some pants.
Are yugo surlus clips worth anything ?
>>31890303
The fug.. last thread someone said they were bad.
I need to get some metal ak mags since all I got are 5 magpuls and two bakelites. One of the magpuls shit on my and won't feed reliably anymore.
I just want cheap metal AK mags that work REEEEEEEEEE
>>31890048
what kinda condition are they usually in? decent?
>>31890240
>>31890337
I'm was just leaving to go to work when he arrived so no detailed pics because I'm at work with them in my car now, but this guy was very sneaky sneaky. He had them labeled as "toy plastic cartridge set" and each individual magazine body was packaged like this. Very clever.
>>31890485
They seem fine to me, but if you're looking for something else the Polish mags on AIM are a pretty good deal too. They do tend to fit a little snug and might need a little filing, but they are only $11 so you get what you pay for. I have a half dozen and they've all been fine.

So you're saying this election is a win-win?
>>31890538
Alright I'll trust you anon. So does the BHO actually help with your reloads or is it just something nice to have?
>>31890582
It pretty much pointless, unless you are at a range that requires the bolt to be open. Once the mag is removed the bolt closes.
>>31890487
They are in good shape. No ink marks usually and maybe a bit if surface rust on the followers/springs/floorplates.
There were cheaper ones in kinda shit condition, still work but rough around the edges
>>31890628
40 and 30 rounders?
>>31890628
Nah, this time i hope to get completely nos ones.
>>31890644
There should be 40 rounders available still, yes

Slr107 or slr104 if i can only have one and i have no other rifles?
>>31891040
Get some bakes. They are like 30-40$ on ak files.
>>31891054
If you had to buy one today, I'd say107, given the election and the current state of availability of 7.62x39 and mags.
>>31890996
When did you buy a 112? I sold one to a dude in North Florida a lil while ago now

Pretty much this. 30 minutes inland from Sarasota and you're halfway to Arcadia and all the way to paradise. If you've got friends with land out there you've got the best ranges in the world.

Weird. I have 4 of these from a couple years ago but they don't have that 'Made in Bulgaria' billboard on it. They're probably a new batch of those, and depending on whether or not they have steel reinforcements, they are kind of shitty.

Ikr? It sucks. Having to buy a new AK every time you take the cleaning rod out. Major design flaw.

>>31890387
Order some Giena Tactics pants in Berezka, built-in keepads are great.
Bought a new muzzle brake. It fits ALMOST perfectly, so I have to have it almost a 1/5 turn loose and it jiggles. :(
>>31892690
duck tape
>>31892039
This isn't real bakelite. It's just orange polymer furniture.
>>31892690
Fitting is sometimes required.
I prefer to use a steel washer the right internal diameter, use a needle file to cut a notch for the latch pin, and file the washer down very slowly, by small increments, until the muzzle device plus the flash hider fit hand-tight when the latch pin engages.
Or you could file down the rear of the brake, but it's tricky to put metal back on if you take off too much.

Best place to get cheap 74 mags?
>>31893038
Surplus or commercial? CDNN has commercial Bulgarians around $10-15 last I looked. Surplus mags are cheaper on AK Files - there's a guy with Izzy plums for $25-28 each right now, depending on condition.
>>31892157
ATF get out
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>31892310
>>31892725
I took my knife sharpener to it and got a beautifully tight fit and dabbed a tiny bit of oil on it before putting it in place to help prevent rust. Should be good, I think.
>>31893079
I do believe those commercial Bulgarians have no metal reinforcement, either at locking lugs or at feed lips, making them nice looking range mags but not remotely substitutes for the real thing.
>>31889188
Thank you Papa Putin

yessir. i love it
/brg/ is kill so, how much of a retarded faggot am I for prioritizing a SUIT scope over a PSO?
>>31894547
make sure you get the proper mount. i also remember reading that they have a short eye relief so you want to be careful about what muzzle device you use
>>31894737
Yea I plan on buying one with the mount attatched already. L1A1 tops will fit on metric receivers so after that it'll just be a matter of replacing the silver soldered fake stoll for either a combo device or the old style flash hiders
Have the opportunity to buy a early bizon mag.....but so much money
>>31892490
Ewwwwwww.
Let the SKS be an SKS. The slim lines, light weight and traditional rifle stock make the SKS a good scout carbine or deer/hog rifle (bayonet is good for those hogs that don't know when to give up)
Trying to turn the SKS into an AK isn't making the SKS any better, you're just making an AK but worse.
Can I replace the polymer stock on my slr104 with a triangle stock and will it still lock up when folded?
>>31892039
the set LOOKS nice, but it's way too expensive for what it is. 50 bucks would be fine.
>>31890499
Perhaps if you wanted more shipments like this then you shouldn't have posted it

That's why you buy a optic made for the AK platform.
I asked about Lee Armory a few threads back, and today a Lee Armory WBP Polish Premium came into the gun shop I work at. I didn't check every rivet but they look fine, but holy shit everything else sucks. Furniture rattles like hell and the grip doesn't even match. The action is mediocre and stagey, unlike an Arsenal which is really smooth all the way. Trigger is typical Tapco. I don't see why it doesn't get more bad or meh reviews considering the price point.
Whats the story with these High Standards? Never heard of them

Wouldn't trust Polish non-military parts.

thread from yesterday had a link to youtube vid where a guy picked one up and the rivets werent finished on the rear trunnion. rather than fix it they said it was "within spec"....

Anyone know anything about DDR?

>american barrel
>furniture looks ugly, is not surplus
>only parked, not painted
assuming there were no defects, that's not a very good deal for $700. they have used green mountain barrels in the past, and the current ones are from an unknown manufacturer (wouldn't say who it was) associated with atlantic. having a bayonet lug is a nice feature. for around the same price you could have a CHF military barrel in a WASR
i live in the subtropics, so park is not enough; may not matter to you.
>>31896667
DDR is the country of origin of the parts (east germany)
those are built by an unnamed contractor working for atlantic. it's a gamble, but they're not in stock anyway
>>31891633
Yeah I got the new one with the side rail and now furniture
>>31896281
Yeah, I put some money down to reserve one really not a bad price for how rare they are, still painful though
Anyone have the video of the guy with his AK and he's slathering motor oil on it like a madman?
It's super fucking creepy/weird but hilariously so.
whats wrong with this guy's rifle at 1:29, he's clearly in semi auto, but his rifle runs away on him.

probably cooking off. chamber can get hot enough to automatically set off a cartridge on closed-bolt firearms. those guys definitely have the volume of fire to make it happen
>>31897058
Usually Russian troops are trained to fire in bursts on FA.
The rifle is set to FA. Short, quick trigger pulls with the AK-74 are more than enough to accurately shoot SA.

>>31897359
Yea surplus good condition mags work like they need to. I had a few till I traded them for 9mm ammo. Kept my Romanian mags because I liked their bluing better but works as good as the hung.
Survived 300 rounds without a single hickup through mag dumps and slow shooting. I would trust them.
>>31897333
Stupid question but, are the wooden mags wooden on the inside too? It just looks so thin and flimsy. Tell me it's wood outside of metal or something

I had a heavily used tanker mag that came in a "mystery pack" of five I ordered years ago, and it was still nice. I think I sold it with my POS single stack bolt century pap because I hardly knew shit about AKs at the time. Then again, maybe It's still around here somewhere.
Does AK builder send extra rivets?

Eh, the only thing lacking is a bayonet lug. And it uses AKM muzzle threads, not AK74
I kinda wanna sell my waffen werks and upgrade to one of these. I have a Vepr 12 with the folding stock and it's amazing. I'm convinced Vepr is the best AK in the world

That.
I am old enough to remember the Cold War and all the speculation about Soviet small arms. One of the things that surprised me was that the Soviets apparently never issued drum-type magazines for the RPK in 5.45mm, only in 7.62x39. I guess the Soviets decided that the drums were too expensive to manufacture and not cost-effective.
So when I see OP's picture, I wonder where that drum came from.
>>31886679
>tfw it will never be imported here
Why even live?
>>31899153
you can 3d print the body, the rest can be ship though airmail
>>31899137
Could be a 7.62x39 drum, the AK-12 can use that caliber too
>>31899172
the RPK-16 is chambered for 5.45x39
>>31899171
>3d printed plastics
>not shit
I'll just wait for Bulgaria or another country to make something similar. Or maybe if it ever get into service some people with connections in Russia or the Ukraine will be able to hook a nigga up
>>31895306
As long as the triangle stock has a 4.5mm pin you're golden
As an aside, what's a good price for steel 5.45 mags?
>>31898395
daewooguy does. they're still the best red dot on the market for general use. go for it!
>pic related
>>31898800
if you can find a draco for $500 or less, go for it. they're of cugir manufacture, same factory making WASR rifles, would go draco over PAP for barrel and furniture compatibility personally. the arsenal pistols are too expensive
>>31899171
>you can 3d print the body
this needs to be laid to rest. additive manufacturing isn't the solution to all problems, and in general it is best relegated to rapid prototyping
>>31898800
>Are AK pistols worth owning?
Not unless you plan to SBR it. Otherwise, it's too big, too heavy, and too awkward to conceal, or even carry in a conventional holster, and rather difficult to shoot well in a hurry. People buy them but I haven't the faintest idea what for, if they aren't turning them into SBRs.
>>31898800
>>31899484
Pretty much. Either you SBR it, or it's just a novelty toy for those with an advanced collection and extra cash in their pocket for something frivolous.
If you wan the "pistol" feel, just take a folding stock gun and see how much fun it is to try hit things. It's a pain in the arse to hit things with and feels like a waste of ammo to me when I'm not on target proper, all to have a ~4" shorter gun instead of a full length folder.
>>31899484
cause it's fun as fuck to shoot at shit with an AK pistol. But yes pretty much a novelty gun.
Just checked my inbox, I'll reply to everyone later today once I'm off work. It should be a light day

Agreed i love mine .
>>31899814
This isn't quite accurate.
There were 3nd gen mags made without steel reinforcements in the feed lips.
Also the "long tops" were 1st and 2nd gen.
>And in theory with the recent surfacing of the glass filled version, they were technically 2nd/3rd gen although those are likely considered prototypes, so don't factor in the "generation" figure.
>>31899938
Mount?
>>31900085
Arsenal sm13 one of the best mounts on the market imo.
>>31896248
Only the feed lips, on the inside.
Same for their orange 5.45 mags.
>>31899484
>>31899681
That's pretty much what I figured. All those Youtube videos make it look like a blast but they sell relatively slow and lots of used ones on forums. I am in CA so no SBR, but I would definitely put a brace on it if I got one.

>>31900454
Well 2 slot ones don't have heat shields nor the slots to accommodate them.
All the 3 slot ones I've seen do.
So yeah, it matters faggot.
>>31900454
I had never even seen anybody make mention of the number of slots before until I made a sarcastic comment expressing my amazement at an anon's 3-slot handguard, the idea being that I made it seem like 3-slot handguards are the more rare variant to boost the perceived value of my own handguard.
I kept it going by disparaging the 2-slot handguards as trash and people took it farther than I expected. Ironically the 3-slot handguard actually seems much more common than the 2-slot handguards.

get an internship/job over the summer. if you intern you can often get credit towards your major, which is a nice bonus. it's also literally the best thing you can put on your resume other than a diploma, as a student

I'm actually interning right now and doing research at the same time as being a full time student (pharmacy school). Currently rent and food eats my pay checks.
>>31901059
interning during the school year is a bad idea IMO. that's a lot to shuffle, and you're still probably taking minimum credits for full-time unless you're insane. are you taking any easy classes to pad your schedule?
do you cook?

Well, I should note, being a pharmacy intern pretty much makes me just a glorified technician, but I can council patients on medications and give immunization injections. My managers have been understanding about what I can realistically provide.
And no, currently not taking any easy classes, and I'm just 1 credit hour of maxing out what the school allows. And yes I do cook.

>>31901242
Truth be told, if I could, I'd have taken a look at dentistry or veterinary school as well. But, it pretty much boiled down initially to not having the patience to sit through the amount of time needed to get through med school and the debt incurred to be one
