miled is the fucking best. when people call an AK a peasants gun, theyre thinking of a stamped receiver. pick up a milled ak and their mind changes instantly.
yeah its a little heavier, im willing to add a little extra weight for that quality feel

>>32081792
Had to be done sooner or later.
>The Edition is just a suggestion on what to discuss
Doesn't necessarily need to be an argument, one can own both.

>>32081748
What about an AK-74 with a milled receiver? Full retard?

My dude, you need a lot more steel mags. Polish steels are still $11 on aimsurplus.

>>32082462
Nah id rathet buy bakes. They are lighter and just as durable imo. Tho i do need some russian steel mags.

>>32082462
Not if I buy them all first!

>>32082229
You need some molot bakes :^)

There was some reasonably priced firebricks on AKFiles recently, you gonna get any of those?

>>32082495
I'm right there with you - I'm only buying bakes now, unless I can find some phenolic resin. But I had 20 steel mags before I decided not to buy any more of them.

>>32082516
Not atm i want more shooting ammo for snow escapades this winter. Unless i see them for a really good deal.

>>32082520
I like steel, but when younload a mag pouch with bakelites you really notice the difference.

>>32082558
It was ok, I think like 45 shipped for it. Aren't they normally running 50-60?

I own 2 milled Ak's (c38v2 "yes I know" and sam7sf)
They were a waste of money.
Stamped is better imo. It's lighter, and weight means a whole fucking lot when it means 2 extra lbs on a semi auto carbine u may be carrying for miles. Yes recoil is more but that's just because the weight keeps it down. Any gun that weighs more will have same effect. The stamped ones are ridiculously durable and the trunions wear out at around 80/100k rounds (unless u have a peice of shit American made ak like ras47 or io) and when they do u can buy a new one a and weld a new one on In a couple seconds. The difference in accuracy is almost fucking non existent between my stamped Saiga and milled. Milled is a fucking overpriced meme I fell for. Even if u wanted to full auto them a stamped will last a couple hundred rounds..not as good as a Milled but unless u are endlessly dumping like a retard it's a non issue anyway. Piss on the damn thing and save 700 bucks.

>>32082588
Ya normally so its a good price.

>>32082024
From what I've heard they have said that about Chinese and Bulgarian ones

>>32081896
Doesn't exist. There's some Arsenal RPKs with milled receivers, but to my knowledge there were never AK-74s made with milled receivers.

>>32082690

1969 parts-matching Izzy AKM with correctly marked Childers Guns receiver and NOS Polish or Romanian barrel.

If I had $1,100 right now I'd be all over this.

>>32082885
It looks like a step in the right direction but I will wait for the full 5000 round test. I noticed there was some peening on the bolt carrier and front trunion. Maybe someone here knows more than I do--are those parts even supposed to touch when the bolt's in battery? Would milling a little angled relief cut on each of the damaged surfaces cure the problem or just spread out the impact over a larger area? If I owned one I would be hoping it didn't crack. I have a WASR and while I don't have 1000 rounds through it yet, I notice that portion of the bolt carrier and that portion of the trunion don't even seem to come into contact. I can find no marks on them, at around 500 rounds.

Also, I note that Mr. Ski is unenthusiastic about single-function flash suppressors and prefers a muzzle brake, even at the cost of lots of concussion and muzzle flash. Me, I consider muzzle flash to be the main problem and favor compact birdcage type devices.

I wonder whether Strike Industries is going to make a version of their J-Comp in 14x1 LH with a 7.62mm hole through the center and a detent notch. I hear good things about it, at least in the 5.56mm world.

>>32082649
after everything else gave out like trunnions and barrels. But you'll still have your chink receiver to use as a paperweight. Bretty gud

>>32081748
So, this 2 point sling on my new side folder is really awkward. Any way to make it less so?

>>32083133

Tap it with a mallet and a soft punch.

>>32083133
You should be able to slide the LHG forward along with the lower handguard retainer. Remove the cleaning rod if you haven't, it doesn't help. Try and get the whole damn thing to slide forward. Then just pull down on the LHG.

>>32082690
No, I mean, what if someone MADE milled AK-74 receivers. With 7.62x39, at least it would go towards helping to absorb the recoil, and who knows, maybe even make the AK-47 flex a bit less than the AKM, but for the AK-74? It already seems to have such low recoil impulse, so the added weight would probably have NO benefits to outweigh its... well... weight. The AK-47 was discontinued in 1959 in favour for the stamped receiver AKM and the AK-74 started OUT stamped, so yeah, I'm fairly sure there's never BEEN a milled AK-74 (AK47-74, if you will), but I'm just derping out loud on the thought of if someone were to MAKE an 'AK47-74'... as it were.

At least regarding sanctions. Domestically produced ammo is already dropping in price

>>32083693
Unlikely. 7n6 is still B& because ATF, not because of Obama. SGAmmo suddenly finding a "cache" is likely a case of them holding onto a couple of pallets to sell at a high markup during the expected Clinton administration.

That said, if any of you are willing to sell me just the wooden crate the 7n6 tins come in, hmu famalam

I can't remember the website I bought them from but the last I checked, they no longer have any.

Trump already backpedals on wall, muslim ban and Clinton investigation. Soon he'll start backpedaling on guns and making friends with Pootyn. So the answer is no.
And even if he won't backpedal he's still a protectionist. If it competes with US made stuff- it won't enter or will be taxed 200%.

Plano makes a decent Pelican knockoff if you can't afford the real deal. They come down to about $50 on a regular basis for the 36" version.

>>32083752
Out of all those things, the thing I see him as least likely to backpedal on is guns. The wall was an expensive public works project in an era where our infrastructure needs to take priority, the Muslim ban was likely to be ruled unconstitutional on its face, and someone probably convinced Trump that a Clinton investigation would probably do more harm than good to his administration at this point. Putin he may or may not get close with, but Don Jr. is gonna continue pushing him right on guns like he has over the last couple of decades since he wrote Art of the Deal. Honestly, I just want NFA laws relaxed at this point. The big prize was always a conservative SCOTUS pick, and now we'll get that regardless.

>>32083765
They didn't. The orange ones are bakelite, and the plum ones were colored that way because black plastic at the time was too brittle. What black there is on plum mags is just a variation in the material color. True blacks are just a modern black polymer.

>>32083831
>>32083807
Seems fair enough, thanks.

It seems to me that I've heard of '74 type rifles being assembled onto milled receivers. What benefits this offers, I can't say, unless you just really like the milled receiver--and there's nothing wrong with that at all.

Just in the Equipment Exchange forum at ARFCOM in the past five years I've seen all manner of configurations that are not "correct," that were never manufactured for issue or even as prototypes behind the Iron Curtain to the best of my knowledge. Underfolders in 5.45mm. Krink type SBRs in 7.62x39. Triangle folders on fullsize 7.62x39mm rifles were never manufactured in the Warsaw Pact but they're so common there's a NAME for them now--"Khyber Pass" rifles.

If you can imagine it someone's probably at least tried to do one. Seriously.

I'm well aware of how cheap they used to be but complaining about how they're expensive just isn't true. $30-$35 isn't expensive. It's more than a steel 7.62x39 mag or a Glock mag or a STANAG mag (the three that everybody seems to judge all mag prices for every gun against when they complain that 5.45 mags are expensive), sure, but it isn't expensive

>>32084770

>>32084770
My dude, 40 dollars for a single bakelite mag is too much for a student (or any gun owner on a budget,) especially when surplus magazines for 7.62 AKs are like 10 dollars a piece. 74 owners do get the short end of the stick in the magazine department.

I just bought a couple of those "steel-reinforced" polymer Bulgarian mags because I think they look better with synthetic furniture.
I'm going to leave one loaded in my armory at all times to see if the feed lips will break like they did with that one guy. The locking latches are NOT reinforced as far as I can tell, so I'll try to keep track of how many times I insert/remove one of them before the tab takes a shit.

I hadn't drank the 5.45 Kool Aid when 5.45 mags were super cheap. I remember going to gun shows and seeing barrels of EG bakes for less than $10 a piece when I was a teenager but never bought any because I didn't need them then. I only got into 5.45 about three months before the 7n6 ban.

>>32085356

He's got a neat collection that is more varied than my rather straight forward stash, and the worst thing I've ever said about it is "buy true blacks" and the worst he's ever said to me about mine is "buy bakelite and Tula plums", both of which are legitimate needs we both will eventually get around to buying.

>>32085365

3.) Are the surplus Polish AK mags on Aimsurplus new or used?

They're refurbished surplus with really thick but soft black paint

>>32086056
>1.) I want an AKM, my budget is $800, what do I get
DDI obviously

looking for a optic mount for my SAM7sf that's decently lightweight since the rifle is already as heavy as it is, going to be using it with an aimpoint pro if that matters

>>32086174
This. A kit-build DDI is your best bet for that budget.

>>32086196
Kit build DDI? I thought DDI just made their own stuff using US parts?

>>32086174
Where?
All DDIs that I can find are well above $800.
Their kit builds are all but gone.
The only DDI you're going to find at $800 or below is their chink shotgun.

>>32086243
i was being semi sarcastic. DDI has been getting shit for the bad extractor in their akou test. But i think they are decent. Save another 100 bucks and git sumthing gud.

>>32086184
see
>>32085508

RS Regulate. The early iterations of the lower mount part had trouble mounting on the SAM7SF due to the sling swivel clip getting in the way. When they upgraded from the AK301 to the AK301M model they fixed this issue. If you have a sam7sf just make sure you get the ak301m. You can go to their website to choose an upper mount that best fits your optic.

>>32086184
Arsenal sm-13 mount its very light and robust.

>>32086257
I'm not the guy looking.
Was just curious where you were seeing them.
If he's spending $900 he might as well spend $1k and get something with a combloc CHF/CL barrel instead of an American button rifled/nitrided one.

>>32086322

I had trouble getting verification so I ended up picking up the RS Regulate. Does the SM-13 allow you to cowitness your irons?

I'm not sure about the full kit but that type of paper with the mag is some Russian government shit. I'm sure Zasta knows more about it than me, I just file them away in case they turn out important

The way the pictures have "for Steve" written in them is highly reminiscent of the guns.ru marketplace etiquette

>>32087399
Well sure, they had to deact to get it out of Russia. I'm not arguing that. What I'm saying is that at some point that dude broke the law by having it shipped here and risked serious problems to be a special little shit.

>>32087428
Risked serious problems for money, you mean. He's selling these.

I guess. You'd have to be pretty poorfag to do something that risky for that small of profit.

>>32087449
Fuck it, yeah, but there's a difference between the likelyhood of getting caught with nearly whole kits and a box of a few disassembled mags.

Speaking further on the mags, I asked an ATF inspector about the legalities while they were doing something else for me and they tried to get me to rat people out lol.

Seems like they could've put a 6th one in there since it didn't ship until yesterday.
>Unless the guy we're dealing with is just a middleman/dropshipper, and screwed up the order initially.
As long as they show up, I'll be happy.

True. Granted, it's a great rifle and I'd own in a second but it looks like Vladimir wiped with it. I prefer black or fde rifles for tactical, or real hardwood and steel like an old Winchester.

We call this AK "3 shades of shit"

>>32089196

Scumbag CEO and questionable build quality with com bloc parts kits, gun failed endurance test within 600 rounds, even I.O made it to over 1000 rounds, heavy trunnion metal peening within 600 rounds on their U.S made gun, shotguns that explode in peoples faces.


yep DDI is gtg!

>>32089167
>no guns
>commenting on anything

DDI is fine- after you get it back from warranty repair, its just as good as any other rifle.

>>32089219

+more controllable then 7.62 on full auto
- doesnt do anything else 7.62 does better.

>>32089210
They get lonely in siberia so those foregrips double as poo plungers.

>>32089227
Plz don't use the shotguns as an example of why DDI is bad, I mean the way the CEO handled the fallout was fucking terrible, but the bottom line is that DDI didn't actually make those shotguns

>>32089230


I.O has a lifetime warranty, just buy I.O if you want a piece of shit U.S made gun.


if it breaks just send it back.

Rob Ski is responsible for more hysteria than Trump on election night.

>>32089242

He said they quality control checked them, several exploded on top of other issues, it's his fault.

>>32089255
Prove it was a fluke

That dong literally has a color similar to fecal smudge.

>>32089255
Lol, it had wear in other places too. Check the comments of the 1k rounds video, someone pointed out there's a chip on the fucking GUIDE RAIL, not to mention other places

Uhhhh

>>32089229
>no guns
It is correct I don't have any combloc firewood asswipe rifles, but have many good AKs. Russian and Bulgarian with non-plywood furniture.

Anyone else see that sgammo magically got "their last shipment of 7n6 (da suplier says so)" back in stock?

>>32088915
>This would be a good $800-$850 AK
Yea, if it came with a 24" barrel& bipod... Where the $299 Saiga Sporters at???

>>32088951
>You can get them on AKFiles, they're cheap as hell. Standard GP-25 pads will slip over the back too though
I'm not looking for the $10 crapco gp25 pad, I need the slimfit tighthole on the triangle.

That says that if you BUY one that is already not 922r then you're not liable for it since you didn't assemble it. If you assemble a rifle into not being 922r then you are in fact criminally liable

I was the first 2 not the 3rd. Damn you guys get butthurt when someone doesn't like shit stained plywood gun furniture. I don't get that but ok, to each their own. Honestly what is wrong with an AK that has either black, plum, fde, od or quality wood like this pic?

Sure thing friend. Go back to whatever shit/scat fetish safe board you're projecting onto us and AK rifles.
