So what's better, the ribbed or waffle aluminums? I love my waffle mag, I should get a few more. Also why are slabs so nice?

What's current fair market price for one?


So today I got 1k rds of .223 to feed my BWK and 106, haven't shot them in a while so I figured I'd keep the milage off the SGL for a bit.

I also converted a 5rd 5.56 Chinese mag I got off files to a 10rd. They tack weld the floor plate to the mag body and put some super long follower in it. I hacked the follower and Shazam, 10rds go in.

Are the Molot Vepr Rifles any good?
It passed the 5000 round test over on ak operators union but people say they have a less than desirable trigger. Thoughts?

>>32907472
I don't think there's a going price for them, it's more like how many hands it passes through on its way to you, things like that. I got mine from a set of 6 that were marked with an AKM serial number. The guy finally split them up and sold them individually because nobody wanted to pay the $3000 or whatever he wanted for all 6. They're really interesting magazines though, never even knew they existed 6 months ago.

What the fuck does "FIME" mean regarding SGL's?
It's spooking me from buying a rifle because I don't know what the fuck it means. Help lads

explain

>>32907603
So an SGL-21 that ISN'T "FIME" is okay to buy?
I have a lad trying to sell me one that he's only shot maybe 500 times at the range, has a few scrapes because he's careless, but for $1050.
Might be able to get him to $1000.

S-should I do it?

>>32907630

>>32907643
Decent deal either way but side folder or fixed stock?

What if I want as little exposed rail as possible?

>>32907643
Yep totally fine. The only difference between FIME and non-FIME guns are just the importers markings as far as I'm aware. Some sort of bureaucratic loophole for the owner of them all to make importing them and selling them easier. They're all the same on paper, and I've read some people suggest that FIME doesn't actually exist and is just an imaginary company that is little more than a name to make it all easier on the owner.

No third pin, what you're seeing is designed to prevent the safety from over rotating, notice that there is no selector lever stop plate between the mag catch and the receiver.

It was pretty funny 2bh, the lady at the register was obviously weirded out. I wish I were wearing my MAGA hat to put the icing on the cake

Has anyone ever found any AK related stuff at a thrift shop before? I once found a wooden crate for Yugo M67 for a few bucks (no ammo), some East German mag pouches labeled as tool pouches, and an AK full auto safety lever once in a pile of "misc tools" (dug through the rest of the pile and every other area that anything tool related for more AK parts, didn't find any)

Not a bunch, but enough that it won't give me a free day until maybe Sunday or Monday. Unless someone cancels.

>>32909034
I actually do upload a bunch to Photobucket, but idk man, /akg/ should be just as much about images as it is regular anons and tripfags shooting the shit. Actually it feels like all of /k/ is a lot of recycled shit, whereas on /pol/ or other boards I see a lot of different images on the regular even in threads with the same subjects.

>>32909097
I get what you're saying but just dumping shit kinda ruins the flow of conversation going on, even if it is just a shitfest. I'd suggest either just slowing down the dump or link an album for us to go through. I do appreciate seeing new stuff on here but I hate having to go through two or three threads a day

>>32909088
Verticle height is just enough to get my index, middle and ring finger on, but I don't really use it like that. I mainly use the angled base and half of the grip as a sort of extended handstop and it's pretty comfy. I'll tape the stock and take a pic or two so y'all can judge how it looks

So I guess I'm contacting oleg at akstuff about this. If it was a big store I wouldn't give a shit but Oleg is cool as fuck and has a good store

>>32909700
I'm inclined to believe it's a handful of people

Probably some who return too but the guide has like 400 reads in about 5 days

>>32909722
That's mighty polite of you.
Oleg is a pretty cool guy, hell he might tell you to keep it because of your honesty.
>I doubt it, but it's possible.

Pastebin anon, can you please remove classic from the list of retailers? They're shady as fuck and deal in turkshit and saturday night specials now. The only aks they carry are no-name shit and one model of vepr last time I checked

>>32909753
I've never had a problem with them. I have several guns, accessories and ammo from them.

>>32909766
I've heard of multiple people getting screwed over on "hand select" options and them just straight up lying about the condition of their surplus. Makes me wonder if that's not why they're mostly out of the surplus game now

>>32909700
first post in here desu. pastebin is retarded and i dont like reading it. not hard to just answer the question

>>32909753
Just looked through their catalog and they're OOS or overpriced on anything on the list, so they're off

I thought they still carried milsurp and WASR+PAPs but I guess not

Not hard to just search for it instead of wasting our time, especially your question was answered in one of the first sections of said pastebin. You had to skip past the pastebin to post, first of all. It's not like you even have to look for the pastebin, stop being a lazy cunt, senpai

>>32909825
It's about the fact that it happens multiple times a thread, with the same fucking question

Not to mention the pastebin literally answers his question with like 30 different AKs for him to choose from

Surplus itself is on the downfall.
And hand select is a scam on any website if you can't see exactly what you're getting. Actually, classic does show you the exact gun with some of their sales.
I just use them if they have something others don't or have it cheaper.

>>32909722
So I contacted Oleg and he got back to me really quickly. He's sending me a shipping label and a discount on my next order. Wonder if this is the sign I've been waiting for to get my b19 finally

I contacted him before I even posted, lol. I don't want it and I'm not gonna screw over a guy who just wants to get parts out to enthusiasts and not lose his house. From what he told me he makes pretty much just enough to keep the site up and get more stuff

Oh shit, Oleg let me in on some of his plans and some of y'all are going to be very happy with them.

>Korean mags and AMDs are bad
This is true though, especially those "AMDs" with the ESS butter barrels.

>'reasonably' priced Arsenal's
I don't think anyone has ever claimed Arsenal's were reasonably priced, but they are going to last a lot longer than those IO tier AMD builds.

>>32910248
Just saying I've used Korean mags in my AMD, literally zero issues. No jams whatsoever

>>32910258
That's cool dude, but that doesn't change the fact that too many of them are crap for someone to recommend them with a clear conscious

>>32910258
And is your AMD one of the one's from Classic with the 16" barrel?
Not the FEG pinned extended brake ones?

I too, have a couple Korean 40 rounders.
I wouldn't trust my life to them though.
The spot welds are not exactly strong.

>>32910280
Yep, it is. Korean mags aren't as sturdy true, and I wouldn't either. But if you just go to the range they are fine.

>>32910205
I ain't buying them. Just pointing it out.
>>32910258
>>32910272
I ain't had any issues with my 2 korean mags. One sits by my desk as a bottle opener.

Is there anyone reputable doing saiga conversions still? I'd like to avoid taking my chances with local smiths, and I have a line on an unconverted saiga with a few magazines for and a spamcan of 5.45 for $900

>>32907536
Do you plan to use the rifle as an rpk (coverfire) then sure why not. If no, go k-var and very the Slr107r.

>>32907379
Why so heavy?

>>32910852
Post a lighter 30 round AK mag then.

The idea that there's no "need" for a trigger finger prop / rest is true, but that doesn't mean there shouldn't be one; usefulness is the criterion. Finger grooves, thumb divots, etc. were once considered unnecessary, but it's become clear they greatly facilitate handling.

The argument that placement may cause the trigger finger to engage the trigger might be a reasonable thought, but I expect in practice, with the actual device, the flanges top and bottom canting outward may be enough to discourage an accidental slip. It probably takes active intent to move the finger out of that resting position.

The one possible ergonomic nit is that the angle of engagement for the index finger may be too low. I always rest my trigger finger above the the trigger guard along the receiver, not below. This feels comfortable and natural, so perhaps the rest should be above, with a more pronounced lower flange jutting out at a higher angle.

This would do a number of things: retain the finger and prevent accidental slippage, and require more active intent to engage the trigger (both possibly already accomplished in the current design), but it could also prevent too much interference when the trigger is engaged, and provide a clearer path to muscle training for trigger control.

Who knows but we won't see this kind of thing as standard on firearms of the future?

prolly due to conscripts jumping off BTR's and having their rifle hit the pavement muzzle-first (along with a 30yr old recoil spring) and the dust cover and recoil spring popping off.

for commercial sales, I heard it does nothing except cause frustration

>>32912339
It's to keep the dustcover from bouncing off when using GP-25/34

It's a North Korean mag. I should not have included it since it looks like a standard AKM mag other than the arsenal stamp.

With the Colt SP-1 becoming C&R eligible, it made me think about when we can expect to have AK/AKM's as C&R eligible weapons. When where the first semi auto civilian rifles pumped out and which countries did it?

>>32914016
chyna?

>>32913985
That was my 2nd guess.
It does look like a regular mag, but the spot welds are a little peculiar.

Ah I see, so the return spring cannot travel forward enough to dislodge from its slot

>>32915641
I'm arguing with myself over that question...it's in that territory of price that I could buy a Polytech...

>Local gun shop has all of their 5.45 on clearance
I bought them out of stock, at least 3000 sealed rounds plus a gallon ziplock bag of loose rounds of Wolf Polyformance for $500. At about $0.17 a round its a nice price today's market, I had no idea they even carried 5.45 but after today they're not going to be carrying it which kinda sucks.

I traded a set of Romanian RPK wood I refinished for an aluminium waffle this weekend. I paid like $30 for the stock set when I bought it, so I'm pretty happy with the deal.

Unfortunately, the mag has a pretty sloppy gloss black respray on it. It's way too shiny for me. Is there anything I need to know before I strip it and repaint it? I haven't really done that kinda shit to aluminum before.

Also I'm pretty sure it's lighter than my bakelite mags. That's kinda awesome.

>>32916513

I mean maybe a roll pin is sufficient. Unprecedented though.

>>32916597
>>32916534
So what do you guys think? Call cs in the morning? This is my first AK...

>>32916513
Should be fine. It's just to keep the piston from unscrewing. Replace it with a rivet if you want to though.

>>32916650
I mean, it didn't end up there on accident. CS isn't going to tell you to send it back so they can fix it. That's just how it goes with the PSAKs evidently.

It doesn't actually hold the piston on, it just prevents it from unscrewing. Just keep an eye on it.

>>32916692
It's fine. Some of the Saigas don't even have rivets, they just use divots like the ones keeping the gas block in place. It is just keeping the piston from unscrewing.
If it really bothers you, buy a hammer and a rivet and set it yourself. It's really not hard.

>>32917317
I won't give you shit about it. For me personally, it doesn't look close enough to bakelite mags, but if it turns your crank then good for you.
As for the poor fit of the handguards, maybe you can tweak them a bit to make it line up better. I'll wait for the pics.

That's obvious.
Instead of lashing out, perhaps you should listen.
I told you not to buy a bolt on HG retainer, but you had to get rid of the hotdog bun, right?
Then you bought a buch of "upgrades" instead of sending it to someone who does know what they're doing, to get it converted properly.
