Never really looked at the inside of an AK, what causes that? Is that as common as Garand thumb or is that some sort of disassembly/catastrophic failure?

You deserve your snakebite if you don't do that one simple trick.

>>33187169
If you release tension on the hammer by moving the springs, they can snap back and hurt. I've had it happen once or twice but never as bad as in the picture

What Ak should I buy?

Mine. It's an IO that cost $1500 but I'll sacrifice it to you for a mere $1000 because you seem like a nice guy.

An AR. AK's are shit.

>>33187224
Or this. It's a german AR.

>>33187169
Laziness, mostly.
It only take a few seconds to wrap the legs of the spring with a twist tie or something else.

>>33187195
If you don't secure them, and you're fucking around too much, they'll still pop off and tag you.

Couple days ago I went out with a friend and bought an Arsenal.

Came with a 15-round (or 14 round, rather) magazine but I got a couple 30s ordered and on the way. I like her, /k/. I like her.

Anyonevknow where i can get some sub $30 mags that are notcrapco?

I know its a stupid question but im new to AKs, what's this whole IO thing about? Do they blow up often or something?

>>33187454
From what I hear, Vympel had contracts to fill until early 2017. It seems they're exporting for civilian use now which is very good news for us if it lives up to the hype

>>33187407
I'm not worried.

After all, Vympel plant was built with the sole purpose of producing 5.45x39 ammunition. It was only later they got into other calibers.

>>33187478
they don't ALL blow up. I mean, there's probably a couple out there that are still in working order.

So I've got an NPAP and recently the whole BCG is getting stuck in the rearward position. When I fire it eventually pops out as well and sort of gets stuck inside the receiver. I've replaced the recoil spring group to no avail and put in a recoil buffer for the time being.

Any ideas what's going on and how to fix? I think if I had the locking lug for the dust cover the recoil spring wouldn't be able to come out of position, it fell off a long time ago and I haven't found anywhere online that sells a replacement

See pic.

Is this /ak/ enough for /akg/?

This is one is a Romanian factory gun that I put a Nodak flash hider on. I also turned a nice crown on it in a lathe. I feel like it shoots far better than it should, especially with 7N1.

The optic is the closest thing I could get to a PSO-1M2. Same exact scope with 1.7m rangefinder but uses the hash marks on the elevation instead of dedicated BDC. I'm a bit of a slavboo but the system makes sense to me and it's pretty fucking practical.

Is there ANYTHING right about the IO rifles? If you switched the bolt, carrier and recoil spring, would the barrel, trunion and reciever last?

I think blue box tiger was actually chicom, norinco work around brand

I've asked this question of one of the "established" AK and SVD shooters out there so maybe /k/ can help.

What are the actual, practical holdovers for 7.62X54r light ball using a PSO in either a PSL or SVD? I KNOW the lower chevrons are supposed to be for distances past 1000m but they would also provide reference points for shorter ranges. I used Strelok to get an estimation but just curious if anyone has range time for a better idea.

>>33187251

It's hard to get an AK in a bad configuration. They come with irons sights and SBR variants are rare. (SBRs are a meme)

There are real advantages to an AR though. Don't buy a low-class AK, get an Arsenal/Vepr/Saiga.

If you want an AR get an M16 clone.

They don't build them correctly and sell them at a very low price point to trick people into impulse buying the cheap gun before they do any research.

They're pretty notorious for shit like (as an example) inviting a bunch of YouTube gun guys to a big press event and having the hand-picked expo guns not work.

Does the BCG rattle around when it's in battery?
Lots of 2015 NPAPs had an issue where their recoil springs and assemblies were shorter than spec for an M70 (see pic, NPAP on left, M70 on right). This is where the whole "bad heat treat" meme originated, because the whole thing was beating the fuck out of itself due to a weak spring and short assembly.
Your spring should be stopping your BCG before it gets that far back.
Used to be you could snag surplus M70 assemblies off Apex for $25 shipped.

your finish will probably wipe off afterward.

just run a hoppes #9 rag through it afterward a few times

>>33189271
Just pop the top cover off and remove bcg/recoil spring then pour water through

It'll flush the salts and cool your rifle down at the same time. Then clean when you get home

>>33189321
it will also make the nooks and crannies rust because you poured water all over it.

put it in the oven afterward to dry it off I guess

kek

>>33189336
Shake it off and dry it down when you get home if you're worried?

The rifle finish is supposed to prevent rust
>inb4 bubbles
Water is the generally accepted way to do it though, and there isn't a pandemic of rusted AKs. You'll be fine

>>33189363
This. Just run it under the tub in hot water when you get home.

"10/63" generally refers to older WASRs built in military parts, but they are iffier than new-production WASR 10s.
Generally-speaking a WASR or Zastava NPAP is the cheapest g2g AK around.
Either way google "how to inspect an AK" because it will save you serious buyer's remorse.

That's the one

I know there's at least one out there, I could search the /akg/ archives, cause I know it was posted in here, but that is a lot of fucking generals to go through. And Russia doesn't allow exporting military optics and my guy is hesitant about breaking that one, so I have no one to send me one even if I can get back to the source again. I'd fucking love to buy one though

If you have the time to do it though I know it's in the 4chan archives

GP = "General Purpose" if internet lore is true.
10/63s are technically "GP WASR-10/63" for instance. The "63" designates a production date before the cutoff for WASRs to be considered good AKs though.
Doesn't mean it's bad necessarily but those old WASRs definitely earned their rep for spotty quality.
Again, learn what to look for and inspect the shit out of it.

>>33190283
I wonder if the barrel would be too thin near the muzzle if you turned the OD down concentric to the crooked bore there--then sleeved it (press fit & pin).

Or would it be better to bore the front sight block concentric to the bore and then sleeve it down to barrel size?

It could be crooked in a two-dimensional way, though.

Like instead of a straight-line down toward the chamber from the bore, it could be an angle compared to the OD of the barrel.

That's more complicated to fix.

Hmmm I have a better idea.

Turn the OD of the front sight block threads down concentric with the bore, re-thread (or sleeve it), you can turn the sleeve down concentric to the eccentric, then weld the ends, plug weld, blind pin, etc.

>>33190239

>>33190632
Nah there's enough material on the FSB to turn the OD threads off, concentric to the bore, put a sleeve on it to bring it back to OD, thread the sleeve.

Would be concentric.

I guess I understand that

How many round have you put through it already? And have you considered taking it to anything more than paper shooting?

I'm taking my 104 to a 2gun shoot this weekend to really try putting it to some real use. Lowkey uneasy about the switching from the full grip to the stubby but we'll see

>>33190660
Certainly, a new barrel is the ideal fix.

But if it shoots good, you could make them concentric enough to use a suppressor.

>>33190682
I've put around 1200 rounds through it so far, I've debated doing some kind of competition with it as it is now just for fun but I really don't feel like dealing with competition snobs.

I mean, I know its a civvie version of the aims. Which is romanias 5.45 ak based off the 74, same with the tantal. So they arent exactly ak-74's, but they are based off it and almost identical aside from minor modifications. I just expected the FSB to be compatible. I mean fuck, the AMD and M70's FSB's are compatible with the 74's. Does any other common AK derivative use a different size barrel?

>>33192410
No. They have shit barrels.

Nope, tons of NPAPs still had/have bad heat treats

>2-year-old memes
Don't get me wrong, Zastava QC definitely slipped in late 2014, early 2015. Out-of-spec receivers were certainly a problem (the first AKOU NPAP video for instance) to some degree as well.
But "muh heat treat" has been debunked playboy.

>NPAP owner detected
No shit, Sherlock. It's one of the NPAPs from the time period in question too, which is why I know about the out-of-spec recoil assemblies. It actually shipped with a mis-drilled FSB which was a legitimate problem that I fixed myself. I'm 4000rds deep on the gun in question and it's still going strong. It's also not my only AK.

Sweet anecdotes m8

They're far from perfect guns but the only data available (>>33192745) disproves "muh pot metal" and I've yet to aee an actual Rockwell test showing NPAP components to be softer than other AKs

>>33192768
No one said "pot metal", the only claims were that a few batches had some issues with QC and heat treating. Not one person ITT used the term "Pot metal".

Also considering the kangaroo pouches, but a tap worried about getting my shit too bulky on the chest.

I got you senpai- what you want is the strikehard gear AK mag shingle. VZ mags fit well and they size their pouches for VZ mags- just sell them as AK mag pouches in name. I've asked the owner before.

Cheap and durable. Shingles come with enough strapping to make a good ad hoc chest rig too if you're not a fatty

Does anyone have any experience with the PSAK barreled receiver kits? Id like to try and get one of those to assemble my first ak when they are back in stock. Ive built ARs in the past if that makes any difference.

But are they quality AKs? What should I look for if they arent?

Thanks friendo, I knew you guys would be better to ask than gearfag general.

I'm certainly liking $27 a lot more than fucking $100

>RIP OD is out of stock


So looking at the about us and shit, from what I get this guy is a slavaboo that got angry that there was no common "modern" gear so he made his own?

>>33190570
NO! :3

Wruuuf!

Seen a lot of photos where the alg akt damaged the bolt carriers dove tail, more than tapco g2 or equivalents, in the same number of rounds. It was only a little more than normal, but thought I would mention it in case your ocd about stuff like that like I am.
