/akg/ AK General

I challenge all of the trips and anons who usually post their same pics to not post any pics the next two threads and lets see how /akg/ looks without them

What Ak should I buy?

>>33111646
I dunno maybe to see how much shitposting we can avoid by not shitposting the same pics. I'm just curious to see how different /akg/ will look without the regulars posting their pics

Should I get an Arsenal or an IO?

>>33111676
the way you pronounce words and posts sounds like someone from the west coast so it makes sense since you're a WAfag.

>>33111667
I'm a relative newfag and like that even the most annoying faggots have equal opportunity. The thread is regulating itself as we speak with hurt feelings. I miss the black mat, and that faggot posting 40 pics of himself shooting at a range.

according to da rulez the regular posters aren't supposed to post any pics whatsoever, old, new, OC, or otherwise. Not sure what the goal is.

>>33111865
I have a choice, which would be better quality Saiga or Norinco?

>>33111966
you would not go wrong with either IMO

price would be my deciding factor, make sure you consider conversion cost for the Saiga if that's the direction you want to go

>>33112200
Ah that gas block angle does look funky tho. Its not quite 90 degrees.

>>33112254
No it doesn't. Stop

>>33112165
I figured it out. I wanted to say the gas block was a cast AKM gas block but that was too big of a stretch and the AKM gas block is even more sloped than that one. It's an early AK-74 gas block, the very first variation. This also explains the elongated magwell dimple and the milled gas tube retainer lever. It's just another one of the old AK-74's that got refurbished into an AK-74M. But this is one of the oldest ones I've seen.

Here's the really cool part. The muzzle brake, the very tip of it, where the ring of the bayonet slips over. Notice how it's shorter than usual? that's because it's an original half-moon AK-74 brake, the very first pattern. Even with the refurbished 74(M)s they usually ended up with modern replacement muzzle brakes because they're such an easily removable part. That is a very interesting rifle.

The rifle on the left looks like it could be the same deal.

>>33111964
I think it's to show how small of a community /akg/ is outside of tripfags.

>>33112288
I wouldn't have been able to point out the magwell dimple without just assuming the entire gun is a conversion of an earlier AK, but the gas block was kind of obvious. Also, if you look, the guy behind him also has a first generation AK74 gas block.

>>33112208
Honestly it depends on what you really want. I'd say go with converted no matter what because you're getting a gun that's more in-line with the military model, but between a 7.62x39 Norinco and a Saiga what really matters is if you want to go full tacticool (Arsenal) or if you want to stick with a more traditional AK that's got some rare-factor inside the US (Norinco).

Personally I'd take a Norinco just to be different, but I'm a flaming faggot so take that as you will.

>>33113599
>Caring about the condition of a magazine
Pretty autistic of you, anon. It's going to wear over time with any actual use, so why bother buying one that's completely mint when you're going to do nothing but lower the value by using it?

Also if they're 7.62x39 you can get them for $27 off RusMilitary or, if you know someone from Russia, for like $4.

>>33113748
Go back to gear queer and AKT. It was nice not having you around the last couple of threads.

>>33113748
>Anons always fuck up when making new general threads.
Except I'm anon and started /akg/ and generally start most threads.
And there are a few others that have no issue with properly formatting new threads.

I just can't always start new threads, so I do rely on other's help, and unfortunately it's not always as consistent as one could hope for.

>>33113748
>I think it's to show how small of a community /akg/ is outside of tripfags.
This is mostly true, but there's a small group of anons who are staples in our general, too.
Daewoo's buddy is one I can think of off hand, and there's BlackMat anon who has given us our pastebin as well.
>Sorry other anons I'm leaving out, you matter too.

I've considered becoming a tripfag, but those who need to know who I am, know.

So why are you a tripfag?

>>33113837
I understand that an anon started /akg/ but the problem is the quality isn't there with anons across the board which is why tripfags tend to be held to better standards when starting threads (obviously shitpost them if they do it wrong, or just ignore their general and start a new one with the proper format if they fuck it up).

Don't forget about Witcher Anon and a few other staple anons we see in every thread.

I'm a tripfag simply because I want to be. It started off as a meme and kept going because my presence did (and still does) make some assmad. I figure it also allows anons who dislike me to filter me as well. There's no realistic reason to be a tripfag on 4Chan other than "I want to" or "I provide a certain set of information that requires me to use a secure code so nobody can impersonate me". There are maybe two or three tripfags on the entire board who are so special that they actually require a tripcode to post so nobody hijacks their ID.

A close buddy of my dad is selling me a MAK-90, gonna pay him today and pick up the gun tomorrow (hopefully). I don't really like the deal, but I trust him.
The guy is leaving for vacation tomorrow night, so there's a chance I don't pick up the gun tomorrow, but I think I will be able too.

>>33114036
You're fucking cancer

>>33114055

>>33114075
He has tactical furniture on it right now, including a folding/adjustable AR style stock, so I'm assuming Straight cut, but I'm not 100% sure.

He says he's barely touched the thing in the 22ish years he's had it, and I'm getting it (plus 8 mags, wood and tactical furniture) for $600

And that anon is I.
Very rarely does anyone else, let alone tripfags, start threads.
But it does seem to get fucked up in one way or another when others do.
>There's a couple anons who have done so flawlessly though, and I thank those guys.

I get the tripping too.
It's understandable to want to be recognized for one reason or another, whether good or bad.

>"I provide a certain set of information that requires me to use a secure code so nobody can impersonate me"
>There are maybe two or three tripfags on the entire board who are so special that they actually require a tripcode to post so nobody hijacks their ID

No.
If some fag wants to pretend to be OPpenheimer or whoever, they're usually exposed by their posts and lack of knowledge.
It's never necessary, but again I get it.

Despite the hate you garner, you're far from the worst trip.
Keep on keepin on, Nick.
>You need more AKs though.

>>33114367
Never ever.

>>33114036
You ever get your Obzor?

>>33114412
/arg/ is a popularity contest where people rush to make the new threads so that their trip will get the most exposure possible for the duration of that thread. Fortunately in /akg/ it's considered more of a burden which some get right and some don't.

There's very little honest justification for using a trip. People say "oh but so-and-so is a 'good trip.'" That may be true but so-and-so could just as easily make all of their contributions as anon. I guess I do it because it's a recognition thing, probably to supplement inadequacies in real life. That's the most honest explanation I can come up with.

They're most legitimately employed when a usual anon poster makes a thread where trolls might try to impersonate him to cause havoc. I used to do this on the NCSU YikYak before they added IDs and ruined my fun.

Hey guys I know IO sucks ass, but I need a gas tube for my saiga that I'm about to convert and I'd like to avoid paying $60+ for one if I can manage. And IO has $35 ones that I'm looking at, are their gas tubes ok?

So I didn't hear about the issues PSA was having with their AKs until mine was already in the mail. I got one of their "blem" receivers and a kit for $505 shipped and I'm pretty sure it's not even blemished. There's a small dimple that's covered up by the safety, but that's about it.

Bolt looks good. Did you take your lower hand guard off to see if you got the double retainer groove?

>>33117232
That bolt looks cast ? It might be the picture tho.

>>33117261
Yup. I got it as the receiver/kit build so I had to move the retainer cap anyways and checked. Everything looks good. I'm not even 100% sure what the blemish actually is, like I said all I can see is a small dimple on the right side of the receiver that's covered by the safety.

Since the theme is for people who don't normally post OC to make some, I figured I'd contribute for once.

so whats the best AK value right now? The AMD-65?

>>33117284
Sounds like you got a good one. Consider yourself lucky.
And good job posting OC. I kind of get tired of the same few people posting the same few pictures every thread too.

>>33117296
They are certainly the cheapest, but they were built with ESS barrels and they are WAY too soft for an AK barrel. They've been tested out at like 5 on the rockwell scale and they should be more like 25. Buyer beware if you get one.

>>33117281
I honestly don't know, and I'm also curious about the rivets they use. They don't look wrong, it's just that after watching Jim Fuller talk, I'm worried if PSA uses leaded rivets.

>>33117310

Try to grab a lightly used one. There was a lot of people dumping 5.45 for retard cheap a few months ago

>>33117514
that's not true. the part the holds the gas tube down is round, so anywhere in the rotation of the lever other than the flat spot is going to hold the tube in place.

>>33117361
>Shit happens

Not if it keeps happening over and over everyday.

>>33117651
Checked out AKFiles, didn't really find any deals. I'm just worried I'll regret buying one for just under 1k and then the price drops.

>>33117678
And it'll be at a fucked up angle. At the point where the divot is you have the most material above the gas tube

>>33117725
>At the point where the divot is you have the most material above the gas tube

Like it's a strength issue? Are you suggesting that in the wrong position there isn't enough hardened steel there to hold that gas tube down? How much stress do you think is put on that retainer?

Because diminishing returns

RD/Krebs are over inflated meme rifles

Buy an Arsenal and you will have a top tier AK for $1000 and won't spend an extra thousand to have Americans buttfuck your front end and fill your ass end with meme parts

I'd put an ultimak on, even if I just bought an SLR104. And from what I understand, the front end work does wonders for balance, which is my only real qualm with the AK platform.
>Fill ass end
There's a reason I gravitated towards the warsaw stock model.

>>33117829

Larue makes mediocre, grossly overpriced rifles.

Not rhetorical, just legitimately curious.
Additionally, I've never heard a bad thing about RD's gas blocks.

>>33118123
AKOU said something like that at SHOT when Arsenal announced their fixed stock 7.62 rifle. Maybe that's where he's getting it from.

>>33117885
Not bad. Local shop got a ton from some old fudd and sells me 7N6 for 23cpr and Silver Bear for 25

Just buy the RD. Judging by your line of questioning, I honestly think RD is right up your alley.

>>33118257
I'm not defending it because I just to have it, and I want /k/ to justify my decision for me.

I understand that $1900 is a fuck ton for a rifle, and there are alternatives for much less.

Grip
