The standard 74 brake isn't enough of a flash hider to you?

I've seen the Strela and Bulgy cans, but I wanted to see if I could find a non trashcan first, it just seems like most of the 74 stuff is compensators or suppressors/moderators
>>32730978
>flash hider
I've got a zigzag already, I need something that's not the size of a trashcan (4 piece, strela, etc) and more effective than the FHMB from SRVV. I know the Bulgies have a bird cage but I'm not sure I want that one. So it seems I need to go even deeper into obscure spavshit

>>32731732
Because they're all crap where the manufacturers cut corners left right and center because they want to save money and don't know any better. Most have soft metal parts, bad rivets and incorrectly created parts. PSAKs are the only semi good ones. DDI is questionable and got shit on big time because AK Operator's Union had two in a row break their extractors

DDI is having issues. M+M can't get it together either. Century's RAS47 is shit, and the C39v2 isn't any better than a WASR despite being more expensive. I.O. is I.O....
>>32731836
>I.O. is I.O.
Yeah, their quick barrel change option is a game changer!
>>32731809
I'll probably use Ballistol if I ever need to oil it again, but mostly I just want to get off the dirt and grime and add a bit of shine back to it, so olive oil buff and then clean rag wipe seems to do the trick. Some guys on AK Files who do a lot of bakelite refinishing say it's too thick to soak into the actual bakelite much. I've got mags I buffed that way 3 years ago and they're all still relatively shiny and don't stink from rancidity so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>32731774
>>32731824
Very pretty, would canola oil be good for restoring bakelite? Its what I have right now, but the AK files guide recommends bath oil.
>>32730288
That was Troy sellars, the post your thinking of is the one where everyone's been screenshoting their phones and re posting it.
>>32731887
I don't buy bath oil, but I think some of it is mineral oil with other shit added to it.
If that's the case, just go buy pure mineral oil. It's cheaper than bath oil and your stuff won't smell like a whore.
>>32731899
I'd give Ballistol a shot. Now that I mentioned it I looked it up and it turns out it's mostly just mineral oil and not petroleum-based. Hickok uses it on his 1911s as a CLP, so it'll probably have plenty of other uses down the line for you too.

But is does have alcohols in it, as well as salts, which will possibly degrade and weaken bakelite.
The stuff monkeytail uses, as do I, is salt free fragrance free body oil (it's stabilized seasame oil)
It works the best for restoration and has zero smell.
>>32732225
>mineral oil
Doesn't do anything and won't absorb.
It just sits on the surface, and when you wipe it off, any benefit will be wiped away with it.
What years did the wasr 10 have problems?
A friend is wanting to buy one with the serial of 1-282XXX-2001 which I assume 2001 is year of production? That sounds pretty early on if that is the correct date of manufacture.
2001 just doesn't sound right to me though. I wasn't into guns then, but I feel like 2007 was when Wasrs were supposedly shit.

>>32732225
I already used canola oil on my bakelite, what happens when it goes rancid? Just smells bad, or will it damage the bakelite?
>>32732322
>did you try it already?
Different guy.
And yes I've tried it all before, until I found monkeytails write up.
Been using the Neutrogena since and have done quite a few mags and grips.
It's also mildly detergent, so it'll clean dirt as you're restoring.
>>32732339
gotcha
>>32732351
Smells even more like a whore, and you definitely shouldn't ingest it at that point.
I've had some experiences with canola oil, unrelated to firearms, which in retropect turns my stomach to think about. Beyond that, how could you not notice the smell and how it clings to skin so readily? How did you rationalize putting it on the handguard of a firearm?

This is true.
But sometimes the added ingredients serve to help the base ingredient work better, in this case for better absorption.

I was chem E too,
Flunked out/quit basically. Depression got too bad. Alcohol got too bad. My peers were smart but I was very capable. Top graduate from a high school that is in the top 0.01% in the country. Zero friends. Skipped class routinely. Attempted suicide. They put air in the helium tanks at Walmart now. Found that out. I'm just projecting. It's good you succeeded. Part time worker and part time student now. Trying to get -a- degree so I can be more marketable.
Just trying to get by now
So I have an AKT in both my AKs, and I know that rivet-contact is something built in specifically in AKs to prevent trigger slap.
But how worried should I be about my AKT knocking the rivet out of my AK's trigger guard?
>>32733085
Email sent.
Talk me out of selling several of my guns, in a very rash decision to buy an SLR 104.
>>32733180
Thanks for opening up.
My suggestion is to go mechanical or electrical (the most widely recognized and hired) and look into working in defense.
My situation was a little similar, never had depression though.
Top of my class in a private high school. Stopped caring about GPA in college, became focused on learning and accepted the grades I got. First year was a lot of fun with Chem II and Orgo.
I skipped a lot in the middle of my schooling; the some subjects just don't keep me engaged.
Toward the end I learned to manipulate my classes so I could do projects that I wanted to do anyway, and get a grade for them. That was ideal. Tough work because my standards are high, but something to be proud of.
Transitioning to work was a lot easier. When you're off the clock, you're off. No studying, no nothing. Making good money for doing interesting things.

hey Woo/Chimps, how well did I do by getting a slr107fr as my 2nd ak (wasr)?
Looks like we're back to the "worth my PTR" / "worth $780" questions
"Early production Century AK74. Built on an Elk River Run receiver. Green mountain barrel" (are these chrome lined?) "Made from a Bulgarian parts kit. 200 rounds through it."
"NOS laminated Russian stock, rare rubber butt pad" (lol)
He says PTR + $250 for everything pictured or even trade for the rifle with the original furniture and without the Bake's (2 plum, 2 black mags).
Sent him a question about leaving the furniture on in an even trade.
Gotta give it to him, probably the best LOOKING AK I've been offered thus far.
>>32733522

> Built on an Elk River Run receiver.
That's nice.
>Green mountain barrel" (are these chrome lined?)
Nope. It is almost certainly a 1:9" 5.56mm barrels shortened at the chamber end so that 5.45mm ammo sorta chambers and sorta headspaces in them--the same absolute dogshit barrels Century used in their infamous Tantal builds. In addition to not being chrome-lined, the barrels are oversized by .003" to .004" and have a rifling twist rate much too slow to stabilize any milsurp or most commercial 5.45mm ammo. These rifles are frequently found with the (Tapco) AK74 clone muzzle device rust-welded to the muzzle, and a bore that looks like twenty miles of dirt road.
>"NOS laminated Russian stock"
Putting a nice laminated Russian '74 stock on a Century build with an unserviceable, out-of-spec barrel is like $2000 spinner rims and a suspension lift job on a rusted-out 1990 Geo Metro.
It's your stuff and you can do what you want with it but I'd email the guy back telling him he's got great big brass balls thinking his Century POS is worth anything whatsoever, other than as an incomplete parts kit.
Remember. Century import? Mite B cool. Built by Century? Run the fuck away. Century Tantals and Century "Bulgarian 74 Sporters" are infamous.

I lived in. Constant terror of my grades
Caused me to withdraw completely. Stopped checking my email and stopped going to class because I was scared of facing the professors. Became paranoid. Barricaded the door to my dorm so nobody could get in. I was asleep more than I was awake those days. Stopped going online complete. Thought about suicide every minutes.
Don't have enough gpa to get into engineering school now. Could've got my bad grades disappear for medical reasons but was too scared to take the necessary steps.
That went on for 2 and a half years. Can't even step foot on that campus without having a panic attack now. When I see a certainpopular actor who closely resembles my advisor, panic attack. I'm on medications now. Things are looking up

Century has ALWAYS been shit.
I am an oldfag and can remember these exact same conversations about Century CETMEs and Century FALs and Century MAS49s "converted" to 7.62x51mm with a chamber reamer that had burrs on it resulting in fired cases tearing in half rather than unstick themselves from the notched and grooved chamber walls, twenty years ago.
Century imports some decent stuff, but the rifles their team of thumb-fingered crackmonkeys builds in-house... no. Just no.

Yes, it is. It won't be happening too quickly.

I've passed classes by a hair on more than one occasion. Had some fun arguments with professors/TAs too. Generally if they know you to ask interesting questions they will want you to succeed regardless of what grade you end up with.
I know it's not easy to break away from introversion. Perhaps I was lucky. More than introversion, I was always about challenging myself and eventually that led me to take up theatre in high school. Pretty much any social interaction to follow was easier and I've not had problems like that since. (Coming from a kid who couldn't walk through the halls in primary unless he stared at his shoes.)
Sit in the front of class. It does wonders for the experience and retention. Contrary to what you might think, when you can't see people in front of you the room feels like it's just the people at your shoulders and the prof up front. When I sit in back I'm more self conscious speaking up and wasting others' time.
Go easy on the drugs, I'm sure you know your limits so just be careful with that stuff.

Should be impossible unless you break something

Will it fall off on its own? If not just keep it as is and don't fuck with it. If you need to just buy another, they're cheap. Definitely do not fuck with the actual gun's lugs because if you make a broken one fit a proper one won't

Didn't really do a whole lot with those besides clean some of the funk off, but it might help on plums.
The way to get the best results would be to put a light coat on and let it dry/soak in for a few days and reapply.
Do that a few times over the course of a couple weeks, and see if there's improvement.
Might have to go the full treatment and lightly hit them with 0000 steel wool, if they're in real bad shape.

It's a shame that the Ringling Bros have already announced that they're disbanding because your hoop jumping and mental gymnastics could seriously have saved the show.
DDI has consistently delivered kit build AKs well below the market cost of Arsenals (from the original price of $500 for their WW parts kit builds to their 2nd run of AK74s at $600 to their third run of AK74s at $700 and $750 and their multitude of $700-850 AKMs). Only now are you seeing them reach Arsenal prices because they're doing everything in house, which requires more time and labor than slapping together parts kits.

You literally posted a rifle and claimed it was the same one I had, then claimed I was moving the goalposts when I posted that I had an AK74 that was worth less than the AKM. You didn't show their absolute cheapest rifle because their absolute cheapest rifle was $500 back when they did their first production AK74 run. Mine was $750 all said and done, and that's because I bought the Magpul edition over the Hogue edition, which was only $700.
The only thing I want from you is to fuck off and stop acting like you're beating me down with some awesome argument when in reality you yet to even make an argument. You can't stick to a single fucking topic long enough to even come up with a single coherent point to back your argument before you retreat to the next argument, then act like you're winning by not fighting. If that's the case, I'll just never respond to you again and I'll be the ultimate winner by not wasting my time with someone who can't even comprehend the basic adult principle of admitting when you're wrong.

this is why I bailed. I checked job postings in defense for months, only finding two. People don't know what ChemE is outside of research. From what I gathered from my ChemE peers, it was the path of people who wanted to do medical research but who didn't want to take the medical track.
I wanted to work in some very specialized fields in materials science at the time, but you don't want to try to leave college and shoot for a specialized field in industry; it comes with time. Get hired for a typical position and work your way around inside the company.
If you perform poorly as a ChemE student or don't want to do medical, you are going to end up with something like water treatment.

It's a homemade chord to plug your generator straight to your house. Will work. Problem comes when the lineman goes to fix the lines and your house is feeding back into the lines and kills him because you are retarded and didn't switch off the main breaker.
