Also, for an AKM, when is it "correct" to have a muzzle nut rather than a slant? At what point did the Soviets fully replace the nut with a slant, or did they simultaneously issue both? I'm nowhere near as versed in AKM stuff as I am in 74 stuff

Also I'm asking because I bought an Egyptian nut to replace my ugly US made slant and I'm not sure if a nut would be correct for a Maadi or if it was just a nut off of a ban era gun

Either way I'm keeping the nut on the gun simply because it's Egyptian until I finally pick up a proper Egyptian slant (if I ever find one)

>>32786960
I would personally trust an Ultimak rail over that any day.

There's a lot of upside at the price point. What are the chances that most of that is negated by combloc AKs becoming more available/affordable again now?

>>32788024

Combloc AK's are getting fewer and fewer, Century said WASR's are going to be coming in less and less as well as Zastava AK's, Arsenal wont be getting anymore SLR-107FR's until 2018. There is the other Arsenal AK's but that's about it. The worse part is there are no correct AKM's actually being imported which sucks.

If you want to install a folder, install 4.5mm rear trunnion so you can use an Arsenal poly folder until you come to your senses and realize >>32789592 is correct.

At which time you simply swap the poly folder for the correct Izhevsk triangle.

>>32789672
Fuck... So should I just keep it fixed stock? I was thinking about turning it. Into an ak105, down the road.

I want a damn triangle folding stock but I don't how good new repro ones are, should I just try and find a bulgy one?

Fixed stock plum or have a gunsmith install a 4.5mm rear trunnion and turn it into a triangle folder. 88 kits are too cool to build them into something they're not.

Just look at this shit. You could have this.

>>32789672
It's funny because the 4.5mm folder is wrong for the 74M anyway.

If he really wants a 74M, he needs to find an SGL-31-94. No other options.

>>32789765
Yes, that was the point of my half-joking advice. If he were autistic enough to know every detail of an AK-74M he wouldn't even think about starting with an 88 kit. At least with a 4.5mm trunnion he could get some thing close to the 74M look and feel, but still be able to slap a triangle on and have a period correct rifle.

>>32789709
Great condition Izhevsk triangles are easily found for like $85 on the files, it's a great time to buy one.

>>32790064
In the twenty minutes I've spent looking at pictures it looks like such a project would have to be done from a kit, not converting a rifle. The way the GB is set back you'd have to close the old gas port and drill a new one, which seems iffy to me. Otherwise it looks piss easy to make a clone of. If I had the money to fund it I'd totally be on top of it right now, but this is at least plausible enough I can keep it in mind for the near future

Also it looks like the AK9s all have adapters for their side mounts because they have normal AK rails but every PSO-1m2 that's mounted on them is crazy far forward and still has the SVD mount for the scope, I fucking want one. You ever notice those before? Mobile postin or I'd provide a pic, you can see it on the guns if you just google them

The reason I get excited about that photo is because the stock angle looks very close to my SGL 21, which had a 4.5mm rear trunnion installed by a previous owner.

I fitted a 5.5mm Russian polymer folder with a 4.5mm pin and some brass shims to keep everything tight. The angle turned out to be not as in-line as a true 5.5mm setup, but just a tiny bit less droopy than an Arsenal 4.5 poly folder.

Looking to buy an AK. Can someone tell me what kind I should get? I really don't know much about them, and figured this would be a good one to start at. I have a budget of 650-700 dollaroos too work with.
And should I wait to buy one to see if prices go down in the future, or should I buy one ASAP?

The nice thing it would allow me is building as a pistol rather than converting a rifle and having it pinned, so putting in the 5.5mm trunnion later as an SBR would be an option. Your mention of .300 BLK actually sounds cooler than 5.56, but cycling would probably be a bitch

I grabbed one on my phone if you wanna look at it, it's hard to see in all the pics though because it looooks like the adapters are a factory piece, they're finished the same color as the receiver rather than being slightly off. You can see how far forward of the normal mount the scope is, along with what I'm 99% sure is an SVD style base rather than an AK one too

I'm surprised you don't like Ukie stuff though, between them and basically every poorly paid Russian who is allowed to modify their rifle I have seen very few combos I don't like. Something about it really appeals to me

Because we're realists.

>>32790301
Yea, they look interesting and I really want one though, but I have doubts about availability

If I understand that pic right is that a faux GB at the front and a gas tube running back to where it plays with the piston? Probably wouldn't be impossible but definitely a bitch. I really need to work with the lathe I have to take advantage of my family's 07

Long story short I picked up the mak for $600. It's a numbers matching straight cut receiver Sporter. Thinking of selling the Arsenal now. It kind of feels like a boutique tier gun. Like I don't want to hurt it.

Interesting, I'll have to keep it in mind. If by the time I get the money for such a project AK9s haven't already started being imported I'll probably do a 5.56 clone with a working piston as a concept first though, would be much easier since you only really need to fuck with a few front end parts and shave down the length of the piston. Hopefully in the next year or so I can get a kit and start playing with it

Is it advisable to buy a sam7 still (new) or would it be better to wait and see about that new $800 AK people are talking about or waiting to see if prices drop with Trump potentially lifting embargoes?

>>32790816
>or waiting to see if prices drop with Trump potentially lifting embargoes?
This is what I'm doing. But I'm tempted by that arsenal cause the embargoes may not be lifted.

>>32790549
Where the fuck did you get that? It's beautiful. And what barrel is on it?

>>32790816
My advice on Arsenal is: buy it if it's exactly what you want. There's no point to buying an expensive AK if you're going to change everything on it anyway.

Depends

That's a cast gas block which is somewhat rare in the US. Original barrel?

If it's original barrel in decent shape, it's definitely worth that much, even if it fails the bullet test desu. If the bolt and carrier matches to the trunnion, and it's original barrel, yeah that's a good buy for sure.

If any of you fags have furniture sets (or just black handguard sets), gas tubes, bolt on retainers of 74 FSB's let me know. I'll be buying.

That picture is an SLR-105 that was converted to an AK-105 "clone" that I saw on the files last week. It does have a 5.5mm stock and trunnion and that's all I needed to use for a comparison. It's not nearly a perfect 105 clone, but it's also not my rifle.

How long does it usually take items to leave the USPS international sorting center in NY?
I had some things shipped from russia and since tracking says "Processed Through Facility ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS)" that tells me they have cleared customs and are in the USPS system. So now I just have to wait for them to leave NY and head my way. It's been almost a week now and they're still there.

Yes you must get a 74 gas tube they are different. If i was not at the gym id post the pics on were they are.

Those gas tubes are vented and lack the rear spring that '74 tubes have. One would work but may require minor fitting.

If fitting is the only issue fuck that for now, I'll get a proper one once I get the front end properly converted.

There is a difference and those in the pic are indeed AKM style gas tubes

I don't know if they'd work on a 74 or not. They might. You're still better off getting a 74 gas tube because it will have the spring to keep it from rattling.

I really need a Chicom.

>My advice on Arsenal is
I don't buy things I want.
I buy things that are good.

A $1200-1500 AK is going to fucking work and not have many issues, be collapse-able while not garbage, etc.
I have three things to spend my money on: Weapons, lolis/cuties, and using money to participate in operations against those I oppose.
I'd prefer not to waste $500 extra on an AK that does nothing more, but if it's reasonably better, I'll take that one.
I figure before SHTF I won't have enough, nor the training, to handle a $7000 rifle, so I might as well just get a good AK, throw a thousand rounds down it then get a couple thousand more, and maybe get another handgun and a questionable rifle for whatever lad I end up trusting.
No point in buying two $700 AK's only to put one in the hands of a literal imbecile and have the value wasted.

There's nothing in particular that attracts me to sam7 other than I want 7.62 and suuure I'll take a folding stock.

Sooner the better, they are not getting any cheaper.

9/10 i like it. Not the biggest fan of the upper hanguard tho. I prefer the wood.

>>32785712
Don't worry, they sperged out about it when I did it, too. We can just enjoy that we are normal people.

>>32793915
People are dumb, don't bother. If you wanna hunt deer with 5.45 I'd suggest something besides milsurp since it's not going to expand much

Pic related is before upper hand guard.
At first I got it because aesthetics but later learned it doesn't heat up as bad as the wood, old one literally caught fire.

>>32793927
third guy here. I made a thread one time because it was around 4am and OP wasn't around and the thread was down to page 9. so I copy the format OP always uses, had everything exactly right. correct thread number. correct info in the subject line. pic related to the subject.
so for the next few hours the thread gets a few replies and when OP woke up and saw it he completely sperged out because he didn't make it, then whined so much that all the lemmings on here went over to the thread he made and let mine die.
didn't exactly upset me. I thought it was hilarious.

The 8m3 might be slightly deeper

I bought it because it was interesting

I'll probably load the mags for my chest rig and a 40rd bake for hd with the stuff

You don't have to explain yourself to that faggot. 8M3 is good stuff. You dun good.

What thread number, then?

>>32793653
i also had a dream about having rpk-74m and several neat mags for it

>>32794772
I don't remember exactly. It was back when the thread numbers were AK numbers so like thread #107 was AK107 Edition. That sort of thing, but I'm not saying it was actually #107.
If you didn't bitch, then it was someone pretending to be you and everybody believed him because anon.

I vaguely remember something like that.
>was it this one, #82?

https://desuarchive.org/k/thread/31543599/#31543599

I don't see any "sperging", but I started all the 100 series threads (except 100 and 106, I think), and there's no other "conflicting" threads in the archive.

So either you didn't link the new thread in the old thread (what happened in 82) or it in fact wasn't properly formatted, thus the sperging (which may or may not have been me, you'd have to find it)

>here's all the /akg/s that are archived, around the #100 mark.
