I think I see it in my nightmares

How good are Tantal AKs? Outside of having the most uncomfortable looking stock, they decent, or should I save my money and get the SLR-104?

Is there anyone actually selling slr107 variants anywhere? Or is second hand my only option?

>>32437418
>left handed AK

is the wasr 10 shit? it only lasted for a couple hundred rounds in iraqveteran's meltdown video

He is firing it full auto with the intent to destroy it.

The WASR-10 isn't the greatest, but it's the best cheapest AK you can get that you can free beat up on.

>>32437563
Originally they are fine. Kits builds are probably shit.
>>32437582
No choice but to grab one from the hoarders :^)

Very tempted to sell my legion sgl31 talk me out of it /k/ommando's.

I couldn't help myself, managed to take it apart and put it back together.

Interestingly the early style is more along the lines of a Calico mag (helical on the inside of the housing rather the like an auger in the center)

>>32437795
So if I were to get a pre-built, what should I look for? Or should I just not bother and stick with SLR-104s?

>>32437822
Tantals? Don't know, I don't think they are still making them so we aren't getting them. If you want a Polish gun I THINK we still get the Beryl as a converted sporter.

2. If you must, sell it to a /k/ommando here who would otherwise buy a RAS47 or DDI

>>32437563
Go with the ttl-c if century or the y prefix if after serial 2000 or so. That's when they used the correct. Avoid ttl serial prefix unless c. Avoid you prefix pre-2000. Your mileage may vary

why is this such a big issue? people on /k/ have such a hardon for heirloom shit like its enchanted or something. i sold my dad's old savage m42, he didn't care and the guy i sold it to was gonna give it to his grandson for his 10th birthday so i figure it would get more use with them anyway.

>>32438187

>>32438312
Looks like my autocorrect was a little off but yeah anyway those that aren't correct like the ttl and the y prefix sub 2000 all have 5.56 barrels. I had a keyholing tantal so I looked into it a lot. I could still miss some though. Bidding on a ttl-c prefix right now that should be good to go

Kit builds a usually preferred if you know/is a respected builder. Not a random in a garage with bolt cutters

>>32438337
Yes kit builds can be good with a good builder and good parts. Don't buy commercial kit build rifles.

Are century arms Aks worth buying? The GP WASR-10 looks good but is it quality and not some cheap shit from bumblefuck backwoodsville? Anyone have any personal experience?

>>32438438
WASR is the cheapest you can go on an AK and not have any problems
maybe a bit less accurate, but not less reliable than a more expensive AKM
all forged and mil-spec and all that

>>32438479
Accuracy at a certain range or just more inconsistent in general?

Depends really, as long as a few months and as little as 12 days

Just got an Amd 65 parts kit from classic firearms. Just need a receiver and I'll be good to go. It's my first ak and I am very excited!

>>32438510
I am not a skilled rifleman and don't shoot for groups anyway
subjectively, it seems to be about as accurate as my dad's Mini-14
so, maybe 2-4 MOA, hard to say without doing some benchrest shooting
the trigger (Tapco G2) is actually surprisingly good

According to my Polish friend they were widely regarded as pieces of shit when they were introduced even in the Polish Military, but depending on who builds them here in the US they can be pretty good. Just don't get one of the 5.56 barrel Century rifles.

>>32438818
Aren't those the one with the 5 RH barrels?

>>32439014
It isn't worth it. Like overpriced mags.

>>32437418

If I buy an AMD 63 for my first AK will all the other AK bros at the gun range laugh at me?

>>32439152
Light shooting solid ak based on my last experience. Given that was 5 years ago but I loved the tantal.

>>32439018
They sell Red Army Standard 60gr 5.45 as well but I've heard very mixed stuff about that ammo.

Personally I'm trying to save up enough gift cards to go buy a Trijicon RM06 for my Glock at a low price. Cabela's prices them at about $600, but if I keep buying cards when they're 15-20% off I'll get it for well under street pricing.

>>32439215
No as long as it isn't an RAS or io your fine. The only thing mediocre that I've heard about the gun is the barrels are meh but since it's built in Hungarian parts and receiver outside the lack of a scope mount and chrome lined barrel and having to fit diferent front handguards to rifle it should be pretty solid.

>>32439474
Don't lead anon astray.

Rockwell hardness. From what I remember the barrels on those AMDs are soft as butter, which is really bad.

I've bought a couple of meme parts for it, but eventually it's going to be getting a tax stamp and an underfolder.

No, the AMD-63 is fine. American barrels may suck but that's not the AMD's fault. Simply don't buy kits built with American barrels.

Are they still using shitty grips on the AMD's?

What's the trick to attaching your pistol grip?
While cleaning my ak last night I detached the pistol grip because I was dicking around while cleaning and putting it back on was a bitch

is there a trick to getting the screw in the hole or do you just have to keep trying at it.
you know what I mean. It's hard to explain but is their an easy way to screw the bastard on?

Got $250 in Amazon gift cards, what are some AK related things I can get on Amazon? It all seems to be just basic entry level or airshit-tier things

I wish I could use it on mags and ammo or parts but Amazon is gay and antigun. Might spend it on some basic Ratnik stuff, depending on what is available, and if not then maybe a Gorka or something.

>>32441272
Lots of surplus to look through on there, you can find chicom shit galore. Get some chink 5 cell mag pouches to store your mags in.

>>32441272
>Buy prepaid Visa on Amazon with it
>Spend it elsewhere
Other than doing that, maybe an RS Regulate mount?
Look up Desert Fox Sales on Amazon, their shop isn't as big as their actual site, but there are a few things you might be able to pick up.

The SLR104 is made in the same factory in Bulgaria that makes their military rifles minus the polymer furniture, FCG, and occassionally the muzzle brake depending on the layout of your rifle

>>32441406
>SLR-104FR
Well for starters you'll notice the big engraving on the side that says "MADE IN BULGARIA".

It's a solid gun, just make sure you're getting one outside of the SN range that had the critical paint issues. Beyond that you're basically getting a Bulgarian AKS-74N with a shitty-feeling US-made FCG that can be easily replaced with an ALG AKT trigger.

>>32441429
>>32441435
What's a good price to pay for an SLR-104FR? I've got an opportunity to buy a new one for about $1,050.

>>32441451
I think AIM Surplus usually has them around the $999.99 mark. If $1,050 is local so you don't have to deal with shipping and FFL fees, it's not bad.

Not a deal by any means either, but not bad.

Or you can just get something like a Chicom Type81 rig if you wanna go really cheap.

Where you live?

Why the Hell is 5.45 ammo so expensive? I'm tempted to start reloading solely due to these ridiculous prices. Where do I find cheap ammo? I'm not shooting at long ranges, so I don't give too much of a shit about accuracy.

>>32441979
>5.45

lol

Anyway, it's expensive because it's relatively uncommon in the US. If you buy online and in bulk it's still cheaper than steel-cased .223 though.

>>32442011
You can reload 5.45 just fine. It's just much harder to get the necessary equipment. I have Russian friends, so I personally can get it though.

>>32443133
is the arsenal worth the extra money over the wasr?

>>32443141
What's the price on them now? My WASR was $500 and the Arsenal was $1000. The WASR's great; it has the least canted sights between all of them, no issues, and you don't have to worry about scratching/dinging your rare gun.

If you want a 5.45 go with Arsenal but if you want 7.62 go WASR(unless they're $700+ now -- then I'd get a maadi or mak90 for the same price)

hmm, who could it have been?

>>32444368
A year ago, $800 was a good price
2 months ago, $800 was a good price
Today, based on speculation, it's too much for that partially converted Saiga.

You'll still have to get the holes welded up in the rear (probably $50-$75), and if it's like every other RWC, you still need to get the front end done, which is about another $400 in parts and labor, give or take.

You're looking at $1200-$1300 for a properly converted rifle and that's if you have a local builder that you can trust. That's probably going to be what SGLs go for in the event sanctions get lifted, and based on the relationship of the President Elect, as well as the new Sec of State, they're almost guaranteed to be lifted.

SLR104s are great if you save up the cash.
If you have to have Russian, wait a few months to see if the sanctions end.
If you don't really care either way, and want something right now, pick up a WASR, PSA Gen2 AK or DDI.

They have a pretty good warranty, decent customer service, and have apparently corrected the issue with their extractor.

>>32446261
Not that guy, but look up Hooke's Law. Springs are worn by using them. Leaving them compressed or uncompressed does not harm their service life either way, though you could be causing damage to the feed lips, depending on the mag.

>>32446183
Pics of the mag would be helpful.

g-gomenasorry

>>32446320
>look up Hooke's Law.
that was an interesting read
thanks for the info!

>>32446320
Hooke's law defines the relationship between force applied to the spring, the distance of compression, and the spring constant k. It has nothing to do with the lifetime of a spring or what causes a spring to wear out.

>>32446570
Yeah, you're right, for some reason I thought it was in there.

Regardless, leaving most mags loaded isn't harmful.

Factory 10 began producing 74 rifles in 1984 and began producing 5.45 ammo in 1985, but I don't know for sure when Bulgaria exactly started producing mags. I've got some small trench art on one of my black (10)s (just a small very faint word and a large but faint 5 digit number on the other side) so they're definitely out there.

SLR-104 or Vepr in 5.45? Pros and cons to each? I'm not going to lose sleep that the vepr is a modded RPK

>>32447400
The Vepr is fucking heavy

>>32447400
Veprs are fucking amazing. The arsenals already have both the lugs and really only the muzzle brake and trigger need to be swapped. No more than 60-65 bucks for both if you get the G2 trigger. I was impressed how very well put together mine was.

>>32447400
If you don't care then make the choice. They're both nice, the main difference is that the VEPR is a sporterized RPK and the SLR-104 is a converted AK. Stop asking questions multiple times because you don't like the answers or ask better questions.

Should I get an RS Regulate 303 mount to replace the 8 ounce steel mount that came with my optic? Anyone know where to get one without paying stupid money for one?

Ayy, just shot you an email about the vest

So /akg/, I'm picking up an arsenal tomorrow but I'm having last minute doubts about caliber. I could stockpile 5.45 for much cheaper but I like 7.62 as an all around better cartridge. What do?

>>32438043
If that's your rifle, how do you like your gun vice? I was thinking about getting one because it sounds better than using leather strips and a regular vice

>>32446233
No, you shouldn't worry about your springs getting wrecked. You should worry about your feed lips getting wrecked. If they're not steel or steel-reinforced, they're liable to be deformed or destroyed if you keep them loaded.

>>32438178
I agree with you but the vepr lasted for over 600 more rounds, that's more than you're making it sound like

>>32448090
Are you a fan of Dr. Brain as well?

Either is good, but if it's your first AK, I'd say 7.62.

I'll assume it's not your first AK, but I would still say 7.62.

Didn't know what they were, only that they were ak mags in .223. Looked similar to m76 mags, so I thought it might be them. Figured 16.50 for a steel .223 mag wasn't that bad. Also they looked cool, and if I ever run into an AK that uses them, id be set. I never thought about getting into 74 rifles, so I passed up alot of deals on mags, then I got a 74, and have hardly any mags for it. If anything I can just sell them.

Alright thanks m8, so there's no rough date for when they upped their qc?

>>32451331
I think it was around 2008 or something
If you go and buy a new one you probably won't have a problem
Just ask if you can put a mag in to check for mag wobble along with the usual inspection.
I purchased one a few weeks ago and it looks almost like new, just a few clumps of cosmoline in the gas tube which took seconds to clean out and some metal shavings from a freshly machined bore.
My cleaning rod doesn't screw into the rifle though but I'm not sure if there was any threads to screw into though, it's just kind of in the slot and held on with the little clip thing that the tip of the rod fits in. so don't be worried if you can spin the rod.
