Maybe, I would call it refined simplicity. It is very reliable for more reasons than "loose tolerances." There was an article posted a while back that went into the details of the bolt/action design that nobody talks about.

Studio ghibli is normalfag tier at this point honestly. When their movies are featured in US theatres and english dubbed it is pretty normalfag. Although this is 4chan where liking anything remotely japanese makes someone a weeb. Not offended and not the guy who posted that pic also not a weeb but calling someone a weeb because of a studio ghibli book is like calling someone a mall ninja because they bought a 10/22 with a synthetic stock. It is more mall ninja than a wood stock but is in reality just normalfag.

>>33160471
very minimal mag wobble on my wasr, get polish mags from aim they seem to be a wider spec and tighter fit. All of them lock up rock solid in my wasr. No mag I have tried yet has wobbled enough to cause any issue.

>>33160429
why you've already showed us your puberty scars

>>33160471
My 2015 WASR has little steel tabs welded inside the magwell that act to secure the mag in the same way the dimples would. Not sure when they started doing that, but if you buy a new one at the store you can see the production year in the serial number and have a look in the magwell for those steel tabs.

tl;dr me wasr no wobble

>>33160565
I'll be sure to look for that, thanks.

>>33160565
All Wasrs will have that. I believe the idea originated with dimpleless RPKs.

Hello. I need a recoil rod and spring, trigger, mag release, and furniture for a mak 90. I want to spend as little as possible.
It is a stamped Reciever, not milled. Will any AK furniture work or will I need the specific thumbhole stuff?
Are all recoil rods the same?

That'd work. That's what a lot of people used to do with their Wasrs when they were still imported with laminate furniture like your big Wasr has there.

Tung oil will darken it fairly significantly as will amber shellac.

No, it is easy to apply and cures into a hard resin. Make sure you buy REAL shellac, pic related.

A lot of companies like to name their synthetic lacquers things like 'shellac' or 'tung oil' when there's not a drop of anything of the sort in it.

It's pretty idiot-proof.
If you somehow fuck up, you just need to use denatured alcohol to fix it.

I'm open to adding anything people deem important enough, I've mostly stopped doing a lot with it for now since there's enough info to get people started

The point is for people who know nothing about AKs though, if you're looking for an AK pistol you're probably not on your first or at least know your way around an AK

>>33161152
One thing from the wiki article makes me think I had an old batch when I did mine recently
>Liquid shellac has a limited shelf life (about 1 year), so is sold in dry form for dissolution before use. Liquid shellac sold in hardware stores is often marked with the production (mixing) date, so the consumer can know whether the shellac inside is still good. Some manufacturers (e.g., Zinsser) have ceased labeling shellac with the production date but the production date may be discernible from the production lot code. Alternatively, old shellac may be tested to see if it is still usable: a few drops on glass should quickly dry to a hard surface. Shellac that remains tacky for a long time is no longer usable.

>>33160583
they did it so that they could support the thinner single stack mags
then Century opens up the magwells and trims those plates to accommodate double stack mags

idea may have come from RPKs, but they did it to accommodate single stack mags
I guess the dimples would've been too deep and not able to be opened up later

Daily reminder that Gregory Shein and rusweapons.com are an ATF sham.

Buyer beware.

>>33161351
Neither dimples nor the plates support mags in any way.
Nor are they "cut down" when the rifles are converted from a singlestack magwell.
Their purpose is to guide the mag into its seated position without jamming up when rocking the mag into the reciever at an odd angle (anything other that completely perpendicular)

What supports the mag is the lower rail inside the receiver.

>>33161451
>it doesn't support the mag, it only guides the mag into the proper position
ok

if they're not cut down, then why are the plates the only unfinished bit inside the receiver?
I confess I don't know where I heard that, but I'd like to hear your explanation

picked my wasr up about a year ago, bought a bunch of bakelite mags because lol memes, but they do fit pretty nice, they only wiggle about a mm either way at most

the tapco mag it came with fits great though

Where do you buy your mags/parts?

>>33161451
On mine, the top of the plate (where it contacts the lower rail) is bent 90 degrees so it faces into the receiver, and the bent leg sticks into the receiver the same length as the lower rail.
I'm sure I worded that poorly and my camera WILL NOT capture it, so I spent over 9000 hours in MSpaint drawing it. (the length of the bent in leg of the plate is exaggerated and might be 1/16th of an inch in reality. give or take. it is definitely MUCH shorter than the vertical portion of the plate)

So on mine it looks like they both support the mag. Though I can see no evidence of it being cut down or unfinished as the first response to you suggested.

They're not unfinished, at least not on any AK I've seen.

>>33161617
Something like this?
The mag goes in much further than that little lip.

>>33161759
>Something like this?
yes

>The mag goes in much further than that little lip.
On mine it goes in maybe 1/4 of an inch above that lip, and that little lip on the plate supports it as much as the lower rail does. They're the same length.

>>33162267
Yeah, ok.
They don't have to do with much, other than to guide the mag up into its seated position, and maybe help minorly with side to side mag slop.
The mag sits well above them when rocked in.
>Although on the safety side, it's not resting right against the lower rail.
I think this is a result of the semi auto nature of it.
That space is where the sear would reside.
On the other side, it's right up against the rail.

Should I get a five round mag for hunting on my wasr or just use my mosin instead?
I'd imagine the full size cartridge is more suitable but being able to take a follow up shot much more quickly is appealing

>>33162343
Depends on what you're shooting.

Yeah, that's how I thought it'd look like.
The mag seats higher than that.
The side rail side's lower rail, the mag sits right on it.
>Upside down to show how far the mag is up.
As I said, the plates just help guide it into this place if the mag were to be inserted an a less than optimal angle.

Just bought my first mags for my ak74, found three russian bakelites+ carrier for 110$, is that the usual price? It seemed cheaper than other sites

>>33163210
If that's shipped, you did ok. Generally you're looking at $30 per mag and about $10-15 for the pouch from domestic sellers.

>>33163210
you did OK.
enjoy your new addiction.

>>33163210
So so. That seller is a massive fagot that skims off anything nice and sells the dregs.

I need a gas tube for my saiga, should I get the $50 saiga tube or the $30 polish tube?

If I get the polish one will I need to jimmy it to get it to fit properly?

>>33163396

>I know they "should" all fit, but they don't.
Gas tubes are usually fit to the rifles they will be sent out of the factory with.
Like with most AK parts, tolerance stacking can become an issue when trying to replace parts.
>Check out post 9

http://www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43139

>>33163750
That's not necessarily true.
It's the "correct" one but an akm tube should fit a 100 series/saiga rifle, in the same caliber, fine.
Might need some fitment, and if it rattles the spring will help alleviate that.

>>33164043
Yeah, all that's coming up is shit with rails, out of stock, and a bulgarian tube thats just as much as the saiga one, which with that being the case I'd just order the saiga one.

So I'm looking into getting another AK and it's either an SLR 104 or perhaps a Wasr. I went to a gunshow for shits and giggles and found the lee armory booth. They had one of these for 699 "special price, but same on site.
https://www.atlanticfirearms.com/component/virtuemart/shipping-rifles/lee-armory-battlefield-pick-up-romanian-ak-47-detail.html?Itemid=0

Question: Is the romy above "better" than a Wasr? There is a small price difference, but if they're a reputable builder, and they seem to be on AK files, is the romy vpg a better deal, seeing as I get a dong grip and the kewl look?

>>33164261
Sar 1 is better than a wasr in my opinion.
>millitary magwell

In a serious answer, I picked up the Century Arms RAS47 for 650 dollars and it has been fine so for. Shot about 400 rounds without a jam using Tulammo, and it came with magpul stuff so that's a plus too. Just an option to look into.

W-why are 7.62 bakes much more than 74s?

It's funny because for every 10 bakelites 9 will be 7.62, they made 20x the amount of 7.62 bakes vs 74.

Anybody got any info on Russian optics?

>I am not spending as much time as you on this but I don't see any reference to me loving magpul. I see me laughing and responding to 3 fags.
I never claimed you said to love it, I'm addressing your claim:
>Pretty sure if anyone had magpul sets I would shit on them and not you. Maybe you were high? I hate fucking magpul,
That, no, in reality that is not the case because you replied to numerous people shitting on magpul with indignation and not ONCE did you shit on the anon posting their magpulled rifle. This sort of emboldened inconsistent shitposting, compounded by your own inflated ego which you find necessary to shove in everyone's face with a tripcode, leaves any sort of principled man with no choice but to fettle, albeit in vain, the shitposting egotist bullshit and general self promotion of an individual such as yourself on this Nepalese silkworm cultivating plantation. It is a sign of the times when "men" such as yourself may roam free on a place of higher discourse and, I might add, a place of intellectual honesty and do nothing but continually obfuscate the truth with your half baked lies and wimble womble. You're no better than a single mother, or dare I even mention, a homosexual you son of a whore and loathsome scum. If it weren't for people like you, the chinamen, and the negro, this world and this place would be in a far better condition for the men of principle to further the cause of decent and honest debate or in the case of this place, consultation. People come here for advice as important as what rifle should they buy because they're too bad at managing money that they refuse to drop a few bills extra on a rifle, or better yet to ask the same questions every thread with the expectation of getting a different answer. The expectation of course is then perpetuated and reinforced by bastards like yourself. God rest your soul and fuck off faggot.

>>33167136
If its broke to shit I'll bitch at amazon and get credit and maybe a free month or two of prime

>>33167200
Fixed 4x

I can't speak for the POSP but it's supposed to be the same as the PSO/PO, you'll need a different optic mount to put it on an AK rail though, but RPK rail should accept SVD mounts

>>33167232
See I didn't even know it's PSO on an ak. Maybe I should stick with the venezuela

>>33167249
PSO, PO, and POSP are all the same style optic, only PSO-1, PSO-1m2, and PO 4x24s are made by NPZ in Russia and POSP are made by Belomo in Belarus

They all sit on the same type of mounts too

>>33167272
Well fuck me sideways I really don't know shit then. I'd like a powered optic so I can hit shit past a couple hundred meters reliably but I want to be able to use irons as well. What a dilemma

Yugo guns have yugo rails, every other AK has AK rails, SVDs have SVD rails, RPKs have "universa;" I think they're called, and then anything with an N designation has a different style ral as well, but all slav NV should fit normal rails also as far as I know

>waiting for chimps or zasta to correct me now

>>33167340
Well shit I'm sold, thanks man. Are there different models or is it just different magnifications?

>>33167340
>Was it that dude who sells all the "Russian and Belarus" optics?

I don't know. He is in america and his ad had a picture of one russian hammer gray PSO-1. The text was worded something like how he had 5 of these to sell, and the one you receive might not be the one in the picture. So that's how he got out of giving me back my money.
Plus he had been there for forever with a 100% feedback and I was brand new, so everybody there sucked his cock and told me to fuck off.
Don't get me wrong, the POSP from Belarus is a good scope, but I wanted a russian scope.

>>33167369
Most of them are 4x but if you're not autistic like me and are alright with buying a POSP they make them in fixed 6x and 8x as well, but you can also buy a 3-9x24 in the same style as the 4x POSP but a tiny bit beefier

Also note that the dragunov reticle which is standard for the PSO is cammed for 7.62x54r, so it won't be quite on with 5.45 and definitely not with 7.62x39. If it's gonna be dedicated for 7.62x39 you can go with a Simonov reticle instead, assuming the look doesn't bother you. Just don't bother getting anything with a big game hunter reticle, it looks like shit

These are HEAVY optics also, mine weighs a pound and some if I recall right, and this one is about as light as you get for PSO type scopes

>>33167388
Damn that's scammy as fuck, did you at least leave a negative rep? I woulda fucked with him heavy if that was me

>>33167388
That's fucked, man. That shit is so annoying. Just because he has good feedback doesn't mean he shouldn't be held responsible when he fucks up. If I've never been charged with a crime in my life I don't get a free fucking pass when I do a hit and run

>>33167445
I'm fine with heavy, I'll get stronk and it pleases my autism. Are there any that are made for or work better with 5.45 than others?

>>33167179
You haven't shot with it yet, correct? This weekend will be your first? Are you excited?

I'm on the fence about picking a magnified Slav optic for my SLR, depending on how you like yours I might pick one up. I'd prefer one of those neat Zeiss ZFK scopes but they're too much money for something I'm only wanting for fun that a ~$250 Russian/Belorussian scope will accomplish for me well enough, and for as much money as a ZFK I'd rather just buy a Kashtan

>>33167445
>>33167463
I bitched moaned and complained until I got banned. Ended up having to get a new account with a new email address and start over.
It's my only bad experience on the marketplace. Everybody else has been ok. Well, except for the fact that I can never find good deals but that's my own fault.

>>33167492
You got banned?! Fuck I'm mad for you, dude that's bullshit, and that dude's excuse is a total copout. That only applies to condition, if I put up a picture of an slr-107 and say yours might not look like this and then send you a WASR, you'd be in the fucking right to be angry

>>33167485
Yea, and it's about fuckin time really, it's been too long since I've gotten to go shooting

I was on the verge of getting a Kashtan for like two weeks but for a 2.8x fixed optic 650 is just too damn much

>>33167471
You can get a Kashtan, a ZFK, or a PO3.5, but that's about your options for an optic with a 5.45 BDC

And they'll all run you 500+, the Kashtan and ZFK probably 7-800

>>33167492
That's ridiculous dude, hopefully you didn't pay too much for it

>>33167518
>>33167530
It's been a few years ago so I'm over it. And no I didn't pay too much . Got a fairly good deal, better than retail from Kalinka or Eastwave, and it was brand new so in reality it was OK. Just frustrating as fuck at the time.

>>33167560
Hey man, if you order any of these optics off of ebay, don't get anything from sellers in china. They will be cheap knock offs. US, Russia, or Belarus are usually the real thing.
I've ordered a couple of things from Russia (PKA and PKA Venezuela) and both times I got exactly what I ordered and paid a fair price. You just gotta be patient in dealing with the shipping times from there. Customs and all.

>>33167587
Does kalinka not have good prices on these?

>>33167635
In the $300ish range, so not super cheap, but not terrible either.
Eastwave.ca is out of canada and I've ordered from them in the past. They're reliable and usually competitively priced with Kalinka.

I have one and I love it. Very rugged and durable and it's very centered over the receiver, putting it centered over the barrel. A lot of russian optics are offset to the side a bit.

>>33167779
What this guy said too.

I don't think you'll be sorry if you get it. It's a great red dot. Do be aware that it is unmagnified, and I know you had mentioned getting some magnification for longer range shooting.

You won't be sorry with the PKA Venezuela, and as far as magnified optics go, the general consensus is that with an AK you really don't need more than 4x. So most people go with the classic 4x24. But obviously get whatever you want.

5.45 is garbage, 15 cents a round 7n6 was the only thing it had going for it, now its just stupid.

read the thread, it doesnt have better ballistics then 5.56, much worse actually.

>>33167898
Apex gun parts dot com

>>33168030
The flip side of that is that when folded it's a bit longer than the underfolder. Also just to clarify, if I'm going underfolder I'm going with a Polish one, I'll just have to get the holes welded up and redrilled and then the rifle refinished which I'd be doing no matter what anyway. The main reason for the Polish underfolder vs the Romanian is that I can't find a pre-drilled Romanian underfolder rear trunnion.

>>33168083
Also the stock angle, like pictured, on the Romy underfolder is aids

>>33167996
go for the wire folder
Romania actually issued (issues?) rifles in that configuration and you've got a lot more options
plus, underfolders are uncomfortable as fuck

>>33168151
Fair enough, the only thing stopping me is the extra length when folded. Plus as far as historical accuracy goes I'd be using an DDR wire folder most likely.

>>33168050
Lol are we reading the same thread? All I see is that it's not as available and there's less diverse loadings from it. 5.45 does much better ballistically at realistic battlefiield ranges and out of short barrels

>>33168102
Well man. Underfolders aren't my cup of tea but I understand the aesthetic behind it.

>>33168174
yeah, but you can change is easy as fuck later
not so with underfolder

NO FUCKING SHIT. Jesus we're comparing the round, not specific loadings. Compare it to 5.56 from the same era and I guarantee 5.45 does better ballistically

Not sure it is a massive diatribe. I was reading and then it started rambling into some strange shit and I lost interest. Back to more important matters.

So it has been brought to my attention that I could lose my wits and grab my gas tube in the middle of a dildo barrage and burn my hand terribly as I'm being penetrated to death. After serious consideration, I'm considering sliding a bunched up wool sock over my gas tube and wrapping it in MultiCam tape. Any other suggestions that don't involve me changing anything besides the gas tube? Once upon a time I had considered getting the Ultimak gas tube to pair with my Ultimak rails, but I don't even think that will help in this scenario. pls serious repond

Huh. Okay, let me ask you a question then if you don't mind. Is there a x39 drum worth getting in today's market? I'll probably just wait but I saw one and now that you're here I'm curious.

>doesnt have better ballistics

I am partial to Chinese drums. You pay around $130-200 but they are the best money can buy aside from RUssian. Russian are top loader and much more difficult to load.

Goto AKF or FB groups and post a WTB or search and they pop up every week or so.

>>33167179
What scope is dis?

>>33167750

>>33169496
Dog blood

>>33165219
400 rounds is not a lot. RAS47s are terrible and yours is almost broken in.

It will be fine until it's not but you could've gotten a much better AK for the money.

>It's $49.99 for a fucking year bruv

How do you get that rate? It's $99/year for me.

>>33170188
Oh shit, I'm sorry, forgot I have a student (college) account.

>>33170189
No need to apologize.
For me $99/year is an ok price, but not great. I probably get my money's worth out of it.
At $49 that would be a great deal.

>>33170218
I order like five things a week from them, at full price it's still a great deal for me, even without using the amazon instant video service as much as I do. Shit I even work for them

>>33168047
Thought about getting one, might do so later on.

So does anyone know how close this actually is for original finish? I only need the handguards because my rifle is a folder but I can get a massive discount from Oleg and he's a super nice guy and I like supporting him when I can

>>33170386
Should add the link

>>33170386
if you want something that looks original, why don't you buy something that is an original part? it will probably cost half that much, or less.

>>33170386
Pretty close to the mental image I have in my mind of similar Russian furniture. It looks a touch off but I'm unsure if notice without prompting

>>33170386
Laminate->lighting->camera->low res upload->phone screen->my eye->my bias->¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks pretty good though

>I only need the handguards

here. $45, and they're real russian handguards.

Not identifying sarcasm throughout that whole post. I have actually purchased items off you. Damn...

>>33170659
yeah, he's a real shitstain. i have made a point to ignore anything he's selling, regardless if I want it or not. if it were possible I would pay more from someone else instead of buying from him, but seeing as his prices are high, it's probably unlikely to find higher prices.

Time for a new thread yet?
