>is muzzle brake wobble normal? My wasr wobbles and im wondering if this is bad man.

It's normal but correctible. There are two methods. You can file a little bit very carefully off the back side of the brake, so that you can hand tighten it down one more turn to lock into place, OR you can put a spacer washer behind it, and file down the washer instead.

This is kinda unrelated but,

I've had this NodakSpud AK74 receiver for ages, and I know every step to build an AK.

I finally got the money and all the Bulgarian AK74 kits on AK-builder are gone. Anyone have any idea when they'll be back, or where else can I find a bulgarian 74 kit with barrel installed for sale?

I've got a confession to make. About 4 years ago I fell for the Century Arms meme, and bought a GP1975 (I was young and dumb). I like it, but I had to buy an M48 a month ago to make myself feel better. Pic related.

You'll have to find an upper handguard, but this is only $30.

>Alternatively you could get a cheese grater upper from Kyber Customs.

You'll also probably have to refinish it.
You're unlikely to find a refinished set or something with a great finish for cheap.

You could also lurk the AKFiles marketplace, there's sets for sale all the time.

My builder is sending the original Izhmash trigger pack it came with back with the rifle per my request. He can't install it on the rifle due to 922r, but if I decide the Arsenal trigger is too shit to live with I can always do it myself later.

You'll want to. The 2 stage arsenal is probably the worst trigger I've ever used, and I've shot a Thompson with a 12+ pound trigger pull. Luckily the trigger isn't hard to replace, may want to have him install a retaining plate rather than the shephard's hook though


Speaking of which, any word of those RTM plates Zasta?

>>32035278
I sent him a Krebs Custom retaining plate with my parts kit. Trust me, I've had plenty of time to think about this.

If I replace just the trigger itself and leave the Arsenal disconnector/hammer, would that fuck anything up? Would I be better swapping those for a Tapco or ALG set and using the Izzy trigger?

>>32035401
I'd just swap out the entire pack. Takes an extra 5 seconds really, only hard part is twisting the hammer spring around the hammer to keep it together

Muh clear Beryls

>>32035278
I've heard the Tapco G2 hammer can cause your bolt carrier to deform. If I were to get one of those, would it be feasible to use the trigger with the hammer already in the gun?

If I were to install a Bulgarian trigger How do they compare to the Arsenal?

>>32035426
I don't use American parts in my AK, and never plan to so idk

More than likely, I would just replace everything with the same pack though just because I'm like that

Unironically my favorite trigger I have ever used. Very clean single stage with a short reset and a moderate initial walk. But it's surplus so I can't tell you if yours would be as great as mind

>>32035426
Well thanks for freaking me out then. Dropped a modded taco g2 in my 308 vepr

>>32035421
Well, the reason I ask is because I want to either use the Arsenal trigger or the Izzy trigger to maintain historical accuracy, so one of those two parts has to stay, but the disconnector and hammer can get swapped out. I'm just trying to figure out if mixing and matching would cause any serious issues.

At the moment though, I do plan to just run it with the Arsenal single-stage for a while and see how it plays out. I've got a Geissele SSA in my AR, so I'm already a bit spoiled, and I'd rather the gun look "correct" than chase the dragon in an attempt to get an AK with a similar trigger feel.

>>32035469
The Arsenal trigger is a new manufacture so there's really nothing historical about it. I'd argue the Bulgarian surplus packs are closer to accurate cause muh Ruski tools, but if you want it to be accurate then just use the Izzy. If it's not perfect you can always polish it up the way you like, much easier than cycling through a bunch of cheap surplus parts to find a nice fit. And yea, unless I'm mistaken you can mixmatch any of them that you want. I'm just personally autistic in that I don't like mixing parts

Most dont make it out of the chamber. They either arent even pulled from the barrel or they get pinched by the bolt carrier before they can exit the gun.

So I got an email from PSA earlier saying their PSAKs are back in stock and I go to check and its says they're out, did they sell out already or have they not released them?

Also why does it say you need to be 21 to buy one?

does /akg/ have something against magpul furniture? I was thinking since its affordable and i can replace the ugly wood on my wasr.

>>32036598
The stocks are known to break. They're all plastic so they have a massive failure point where they connect to the gun. Their AR stocks are fine because they ride on a metal buffer tube but avoid their AK stocks. Also you can get either good looking surplus wood or polymer furniture for half of what a full set of AK magpul will run you

Welp, time to curl up and cry.

Dark blue/grey marine/naval slings.

>>32037466
I distinctly remember 399 paps

>>32037475
Do you mean during the soviet afghan war? That would be mustard sling era. The slings you're talking about probably show up here and there in the Middle East but I don't believe they were ever the issued sling of a military outfit deployed there.

>>32037475
Yeah, all those Russian marines in Afghanistan means there's tons of the naval-style slings there from when they were protecting the Soviet Navy ships docked at the country's ports.

Just get a tan sling like the rest of us.

>>32037466
>They're over 600 now
What?
Kentucky Gun Co had them in stock not 2 weeks ago for $499. (OOS currently)

Just hold out and wait for them to pop up at a cheaper price.

I certainly hope so. I'm just anxious to get my hands on it already. Currently lead time I was told by my builder was 10-12 weeks back in early October, so I'm hoping to have it by the end of the year. It'll make a fine Christmas gift for myself, considering the whole project (research, parts buying, receiver waiting, etc.) will be 3 years old in May.

>>32037620
>folding charging handle
Unlikely, since the charging handle on the AK is reciprocating and part of the bolt carrier group. I'd assume the folding mechanism would become prone to unintentional opening and would generally be more trouble than it's worth.

>>32037657
You are right, it would need to be a pretty stiff spring to keep it closed and be of limited use. Suppose I like fiddly things too much.

Are there any specific loads for pistols? I know they are tuned for full power surplus but I'm planning on using it as a potential in the car gun and the massive blast is something I'm trying to avoid.

>>32037657

>>32037712
Yep, I've asked him to preserve any and all of the original finish. I'll know for certain if he doesn't, because Ivan was a bit sloppy to start with.

He does also offer a "battlefield pickup" finish that artificially wears any painted parts to match the wear on the kit, but my kit was in good enough condition that I don't really think it'd make any difference. Still, the fact that he offers it at all makes me think he doesn't paint over the original finish unless asked.

My Zastava Pap M92 panic buy is finally in my hands. What should I do to make it easier to shoot aside from getting a cuckstamp stamp or a retarded brace? I'm thinking getting a sling plate that puts a qd mount on the back of the rear trunnion. And also getting a bakelite grip and handguard because mmmm bakelite.

am i'm the only one who thinks that the alg triggers are too light and tend to double if not triple?

Or am i just a co-driver?

>>32038417
Mine double taps easily

>>32037996
The trigger creep and reset are about half of the regular ALG, but pull weight is the same. What little creep there is, is also MUCH smoother - absolutely no grit at all. Basically, it makes the regular ALG feel like a G2

>>32038446
I can't imagine the trigger having any less travel or reset than it has now. So if my ALG accidentally double taps now, the ALG-E would not be good. Or very good...

>>32037466

Just bought mine for $550, LGS.

Hod on famalam.

>>32038458
I've never had any double tap problems with any of mine, nor has anyone else that has shot my AKs. But if you're having double taps with the regular ALG I would pass on the ALG -E since the trigger travel is pretty much the only difference you'll notice anyway

Is there any good way to add a light to an AK without adding weight to the already front-heavy gun?

I get dubs with mine sometimes, but it happens more often when I let other people shoot my rifle and they aren't used to the trigger. I can't image something like that AKT-E trigger, that's got to be dangerously light. Fuck that.

>>32039748
Not really. Can't add something, but make it weightless. Kinda simple...just use the lightest light and mount combo you can find. You can always mount it farther back...but that'd be retarded.

>>32039801
Are there any mounts that don't require a railed handguard or clamping onto the barrel?

This guy intentionally beat the shit out of one to see when it would break down and it lasted 5000 rounds. If you take care of it, clean and check it, it should last, but best to get a no go gauge.

>>32040089
>it lasted 5000 rounds.

And at the end of those 5000 rounds it was not safe to shoot due to headspace being out of spec. Headspace didn't open up from him beating the shit out of it. It was simply from being fired.
I wouldn't own a RAS47 when a WASR is similarly priced and so much more dependable.

Looking at it again, the one in Zasta's pic almost definitely looks steel. There's a tiny chip on the side where you can see bare metal under the anodizing.

I really wish the Russians would just keep better and more public records about AK and AK derivative production variants so we wouldn't have to play internet sleuth half the time trying to figure out what's "correct" and what isn't.

Size-wise, no, but a "correct" Krink folder will have a ribbed buttplate since that's how Tula and the Bulgarians did them. Izhmash buttplates on full-size AKS-74s have a flat surface.

None that I can think of. You can always buy a small piece of rail and affix it to the handguard in whatever position is most comfortable. I mounted an m952 like tho once...its bearable...but not optimal.

He's really not that bad aside from being in denial about being fat

>>32042708
The editing for his videos always bugs me but I understand why he does it

>>32042740
Just so you know, you're probably not going to be able to get a folder on that unless someone makes an adapter for the AMD-65 rear trunnion. The standard Izzy/Tula/Bulgy triangle stocks fold to the left, not the right. Additionally, the AMD-65 lacks the front "hook" cutout on the front trunnion that gets used to lock the stock into place on the left side, so even if there is an adapter, the stock won't stay folded.

>>32042966
He literally made a video called "Why I'm Fat" and explained why he's fat and what he's doing to try and get back in shape. I don't think he's really in denial about it.

He has no excuse. Just because you're not longer active doesn't give you an excuse to be fat even if he had injuries. Literally all he has to do is eat less. If he had the discipline to being super l33t opr8r then he should have the discipline and will power to eat less.

I mean, it's not impossible

>>32044877
Sounds like a good choice for you, and it's probably a great gun. But don't be hurt if you get made fun of for posting pictures of it after you get one.

>>32044912
>do you own a file?

You bet your ass I do.

>>32044917
When did you buy your SLR104?

>being butthurt over anon making fun of my gun.

Why does /ak/ make fun of it?

>>32044931
Beginning of July this year
>tfw also got 400 rounds silverbear with this

There was an LEO a few weeks ago now? Who scored a 106FR with like 20+ mags I think too, got it for 550. Course he also bought it from his PD but there's still stupid people with guns out and about just waiting to sell them

>>32044912
That's a very helpful writeup. Thanks, friendo.

>>32038020
Polish underfolder or a SAR-1.

What happen to that guy with the Zenit covered AK? He get got on 922r?

>>32044949
Most of the people here try to stay true to what their AKs were built for, and when. Hence the "riffle is fine" meme. And part of that is being able to lock on a bayo and cleaning rod.

For the record, if you ever go camping with your gun and shoot it, it's great to have the cleaning rod, and cleaning kit in the buttstock.

But if you mostly use a gun in your backyard, or at the nearest range, it doesn't matter much to you, unless you want to have a historically accurate piece.

That gun misses two of the major categories of people on here. But if you just want to have a good, solid gun, and you'll always have a cleaning kit handy, go for it. It'll probably be great for you.

... There has been one comment I've seen which says the finish is poor, but I wouldn't say that's enough to discourage you from owning one.

>>32045022
You're welcome. Just trying to give something back to the /k/ommunity.

Welp, I'm pretty jealous of that find.

Is there any way to adapt this to a 4.5mm pin rifle? Fuck, why don't they make a 4.5mm version.

what's that button sticking out the back for?
seems like that would be in the general area of your shoulder when you'd shoot.

>>32045189
It's spring loaded on a very light spring so you don't even notice it when you shoulder it. It's the latch release button that releases the stock from the folded position.

New time poster here, ive been looking at ak's and I definitely want one but my problem is that I live in Jew York. So that limits me to just building one, so what suggestions would akg have for parts origin?

Retard who drilled into his barrel here.

Finally got around to removing the gas block without any additional damage.

But now I was thinking of drilling another hole all the way through on the opposite side to even out the gas loss and then running the rifle with a gas booster muzzle device. Should I go for it?

>>32045284
I want to believe you are joking with this but I also have to consider this is the same person who drilled a hole into their fucking barrel

>>32044850
Nope, they're surplus Izzy/Tula. Order 5+ and they come down in price to $35 per mag, coupon code they gave me cuts another $3.50 off each one.

>>32045284
Id weld up the hole if you can.

>>32045284

Stop doing things damn it.

>>32045299
Really, I've heard everyone say AKs are over gassed with most ammo, so everyone should be drilling extra holes on their barrels to compensate.

>>32045356
True.. brb getting the makita
>one of the captcha options was ~10 pounds of weed

>>32045274
Build one and say you already had it. And any mags you buy are "pre-ban".

>>32045319
>they're surplus Izzy/Tula
You realize that means nothing when it comes to steel reinforcement? They'll probably be unreinforced Tula's.

>>32045356
>tomorrow on /akg/
>CHECK OUT MY NEW SPEED HOLES, GUYS

>>32045376
Me too. I didn't even know that before.

>>32045341
Is there any risk of messing up the metallurgy/heat treatment of the barrel when welding it?

>>32045403
They're listed as metal reinforced. I've got both Izzy and Tula bakelites already and all of them have metal reinforcement.

>>32040860
Yeah, that's the "Bizon" in x25 it uses ppsh looking mags called the PP-27

I think you said in a previous thread the RTM plates shipped out right? Just wanna check since I'll be out of the country for a little under a week soon so I don't wanna miss out on them if they were make it here in good time

>>32045108
who the fuck would make fun of anyone for a VEPR?

>>32044924
People here make fun of those with veprs? I must have missed it, as I almost never see that happen, other than people saying it's a nice rifle.

Cheapest AK that isnt shitty IO? Been looking at either a draco on atlantic or an AMD63 on classic, but I don't like the look of the 63.

Sold my wasr last year for 800 and now i want another AK, why the fuck are WASRs as pricy as DDI now?

Looking at a budget of 600 shipped.

Isn't it a good thing I frequently watch AKOU shit while eating breakfast before I go to work?

He also said Magpul AK mags were good, but we see how that turned out afterward.

>>32045618
That's depressing.

An East German surplus extractor from an MpiK47M is a fifteen dollar part from various vendors. DDI can't make a better extractor than them? Jesus.

Huh. I guess you haven't been listening. I can't help you.
