Is it normal that I would like two of the exact same rifle just to have one wear wood furniture and the other to have current issue polymer and 100 series folder?

>howd I do?
Not too bad.

>where can I find a milled bulgy bakelite poly set?
The "bubblegum" stock set?

>>33408455
Why not just swap out furniture when the mood strikes?

>>33408455
Nope. I want another WASR just so I can put a dong grip and folder on it and keep my 10/63 as is.

Because when a rifle looks good and is outfitted with the furniture and sling etc you want, it's gay to have to just swap it. Also more likely to hog out the holes more on stock and have it loosen up and be shittier later when you pull the stuff off often. I want another 74 just in polymer.

>>33408587
Anybody here have on of those US Palm grips?
They look nice and I'm thinking about getting one to replace the MOE grip that came on my 107.

>>33408587
Get a fixed and a folder

Changing furniture on an AK isn't THAT bad. Try removing and putting back on FAL bipod legs when you wanna switch furniture, that shit sucks

>>33408646
Found a set, although it says it doesn't have "metal" so I'm guessing you'd have to track down a buttplate and sling swivel.
That shouldn't be too difficult though.
>In theory anyway

Here's the stock set

https://www.northridgeinc.com/product-p/ak47-90.htm

Look at Desert Fox Sales for the buttplate and swivel, they might have them.

>sweet hardwood
RobertRTG has some milled stuff, most of it's OOS though.
Here's the milled section

Hope that helps.
Enjoy the SA93.

>>33408665
I will have to rivet the lower tang. In addition i will have the barrel threaded, and replace gas block, front sight, and handguard retainer. then refinish the barrel and components. Pretty straight forward build. The only mystery left is finding the furniture.

>>33408779
Ah, I was looking at the EG description.

Yeah, a lot of times they painted the bakelite black.
No idea why.
Should be pretty easy to clean it up.
Mineral spirits won't hurt bakelite too much, but it will dry them out.
Would be a good idea to "restore" them after.

I have a FAL, doing much anything on it sucks. I have a 106 triangle folder so I guess I can't complain, but I love wood and polymer both so it's like a constant struggle to not want one of the same rifle that sports each.

Far right on pic related. It's an Imbel. Still haven't fixed the trigger, it's broke atm unless I put in fse trigger, then it shoots full auto basically.

>>33409019
>Still haven't fixed the trigger

Oh fuck, that's right I remember you saying that. t b h after building my FAL lower the other week and spending a few hours handfitting all the parts I wouldn't even know where the problem is with that either, sounds strange as shit. The locking plate on my para lower is a bit oversized and caused the hammer to stay down sometimes though, so I had to file the shit out of it

I've got fuck all else to do if you wanna try and trouble shoot it tho

Hey friends! 308 ammo and 5.45 is sold. Thanks for the comments and concerns. ;)

>>33409041
I need to know if the us and Belgian fire selector are physically different. The selector puts the gun in "safe" in safe and semi, and lets the hammer just follow the bolt home in "auto" position

>>33409066
P.S. Sold for asking prices also.

I'm 99% sure the selector in my Stg lower is US, specifically one of the old DSA ones with the lip to prevent it from going to FA, and I haven't noticed any different between it and my Belgian type A

But my parts were also from when DSA was a helluva lot more competent and they're working with Steyr machines and blueprinting, so I'm not sure if the FSE US made one could be different. It shouldn't be tho, wouldn't make sense to me

What all problems does the individual groups have?

What's the benefit to bolt hold open mags on the N-PAP Yugos? The bolt just falls closed when you pull it. Just a visual of empty gun?

Well I'm not exactly sure if the selector is Brazil or US, but it works with fse trigger, and will shoot semi and go into safe, but semi often makes it go auto if you just squeeze trigger and don't let go. I need to just get a hammer, trigger and selector from one known working rifle.

Got a couple of steel Izzys on the way though as well as a replacement sight leaf and spring. Soon I'll have better mags to go around than a PMAG AK and Worst Korean. Next month I'll have a gunsmith double check headspace and maybe unfuck the FSB cant if it's not terribly expensive, then it's off to the range at last.

You sure your sear couldn't fucked and slipping too? gunthings can get you a trigger group on the cheap though

Would make more sense to me that the sear or a spring is fucky rather than the safety though, since the former are under spring pressure and the safety is just a solid block of metal. I'll have an extra sear assembly soon that I can send you before you buy a new trigger pack again

>>33409066

I emailed him when I needed a para FAL lower and he told me he had a few he'd sell. He also talked me through on most all the parts I'd need and things like that too

>>33409268
All depends what you want. I love my wooden classic but my tactical FAL project has also been fuckin fun so far. Of course the real answer is to just do both

If you have the FAL on hand I'd recommend taking the lower all the way down and checking out your sear, the more I think about it the more it sounds like the problem

I paid out the ASS by the time I was done on gunbroker (bout 800 all together) but its pretty unique and I didnt want just a polish kit. The temptation to leave it with fun mode is pretty powerful though. I almost dont have the heart to modify that shit and just keep it a deep, dark secret.

I don't know why but I feel AKs as well as FAL and M1A share a lot in common in terms of feels. Maybe the way my FAL is setup and the trouble it's been thus far has unfairly made me not like it, but I love the M1A almost as much as I love AKs. I don't care if they are heavy or outdated, they just feel and shoot amazing. Maybe I'll just have to make the FAL right and then I'll feel about it the way I do the M1A.

That's what I did ~2 years ago when the last pastebin was tried out, and it died within a few threads.

That said, this one has a much better chance because the guy who wrote it is a regular, but it's still makes me hesitant to add it to the OP.

I'm not trying to be an ass, but I've been posting /akg/ since it's inception.
>(With plenty of help from you guys when I can't start a new one in time)
It's still here, despite a lack of a pastebin for the first ~450 threads.

It'll be fine without it in the OP.

>>33409711
I would suggest to keep posting it in the first post but with a title like the other anon said. If the author suddenly dies, just copy paste that shit into a new pastebin you or someone else creates and post that

As far as I know the stock of an RPKS and an RPKS-74 are the same. Supposedly there is a difference in the trunnions but I don't know what it is. It's worth slightly more due to having an actual issued stock in addition to a replacement stock. Most loose RPKS stocks you see are undrilled replacement stocks. If you're working on a well done RPKS-74 then $700 isn't too much for what it is.

That seems insane to me. I wouldn't pay 700 bucks for sling points that distribute the weight awkwardly vs the normal spots.
Yeah, the folder is cool, but I don't think it makes the gun better overall. Folded or not, it's still a fairly long gun, and it's not like it's a vz58 folder that folds and unfolds in a fast way that would warrant the extra dough for me personally. Most AK folders, maybe some wire folders excluded, are pretty meh from my experience, slow transitions. You have to baby them from start to finish.

>Order a receiver
>Get it in 6 months
>Realize that you need rails
>Get them in 6 months
>Place your dick on your kit
>Hit your dick with a hammer 200 times, if you don't scratch the shit out of your kit, keep hammering until you do
>Defeated, take your kit and barrel and receiver and rails to a competent gunsmith and pay them 80% what you could have bought your AK for, new
>Wait 3 years for them to figure out how the fuck the guy that made your barrel expected it to work in an AK, what they were thinking when they reamed the chamber, etc.

In the picture you replied to, bad spot welds

In the other picture, low quality MIM or casting. Looks like pot metal when it cracks.

>>33414683
Link to thread?

>>33415130
the way the metal in the gun is created,

BAD easy way -> casting parts
ras-47/ IO / DDI / (beats its self to pieces)

acceptable way -> cold hammer forging

Romarm (cigur). Serbia/yugo (npap opap) Russia (vepr/saiga) . Norinco mak90 / Egypt Maadis

>>33415380
They learned that the average consumer will probably not shoot in excess of 1000 rounds through the rifle's lifetime and they can get away with cutting corners to improve their bottom line

Your gun sounds like a sissy. Mines a dirty whore. She likes it rough and I'm not gonna lie, sometimes I let other guys shoot her.

>>33415303

>BAD easy way -> casting parts

Castings and MIM are used in applications that see more stress than anything a rifle creates and would cause a lot more damage if they failed. The process is not inherently bad, but it, as with every manufacturing process, can be done to a lower standard or with inferior materials for a price break.

>>33415480
Not shooting 1000 rounds. Wew.

>>33415639
If you have 8 AKs like some of us do, 1000 rounds takes a while on the ones you don't shoot often.

Of course, if you have 8 AKs, hopefully you know enough about them to not buy a c39 or RAS47.

Anon from yesterday about looking at a yugo ak for 625 here

I pulled the trigger and bought it. I'm going to go out next weekend and shoot with some friends and have a grand time. Zero rounds through it, and we'll see how it does.

Came with 3 tapco mags and 140 rounds of wolf steel. I fucking hate the tapco mags, any steel mag recommendations? And is there any folding stock options for yugo ak's?

Feeling kinda faint here.

Anyone use variable optics on their ak?

>>33416017
Once a long time ago when I first bought mine. Why?

>>33416037
Thinking about getting one but it seems like everyone runs red dots or just uses irons.

Scopes on AKs are a pain in the ass for one, and most people shooting AKs aren't putting them at distances that would require more than 1x magnification

Your only real options for scope mounting are having it sit high
>pic related
Or using the new MI 30mm mount and not being able to use irons. It's not bad depending on what you're doing, but most people just aren't using AKs for things that would require shooting 5-700m

>>33416165
I had a similar setup with the same optic, but on an MI mount. It's alright if it's what you want to do but I wasn't a fan of not easily being able to get to the irons

But I also don't shoot more than 200 yards so it wasn't very useful to me

If it's aesthetic to you I'd say go ahead and try it anyways, it's only like 2-300 for that optic setup depending where you buy it, and it'll hold resale value, so it's not like you'll be fucked if you don't like it

Are we ever going to see a reasonably priced Vityaz clone that isn't created by a meth addict in a garage?

Jeremiah Cohn is supposed to be coming out with one, but the general consensus to to wait on it until somebody else tests it (his sample is a Russian kit, his product will be entirely US made), so time will tell.
It's worth noting that they'll be about $1400 and based on the earlier Vityaz without the railed dust cover.

Or you could hold your breath on KC USA and their $1k late-model clone, but I'm going to guess that they'll never release them and if they do, they'll be I.O. tier piles of shit.

>>33416250
Cohn is Fuller-tier. Overpriced workshop project shit.

>>33416250
>(((Jeremiah Cohn)))
Hmmm

>>33416250
At least with 9mm the shitty castings might be able to handle the low pressures and the violence of the action.

The first real K-USA release....hahaha!

Are the PSA PSAK build kits worth it?
I see I can get a barreled receiver and stock/parts for about $500 total after taxes and fees, that's about $200 less than assembled AKs seem to be going for. Is that $200 discount worth the trouble of putting together an AK?

Btw I've owned a few AKs before and am pretty mechanically minded, I've done stuff like engine swaps on cars for example.

>>33416274
He's not quite that bad
>yet
He actually charges a reasonable price for all of his other rifles, though I've never personally dealt with one.

His prices are pretty much on par with Definitive Arms when they came out with their 9mm abomination, and it can't be cheap to pour cash into starting a completely new production, especially for a small shop, but I'll reserve my opinion on his products until they actually come out and get tested by someone else.

>>33416425
He's actually using billet for his trunnions, and CNC milling them to completion. If he sourced decent material, I'm guessing they'll be alright.

But yeah, it's pretty hard to fuck up with the low chamber pressures and a direct blowback, especially when he builds rifles for a living, and had a Russian kit to clone.

>>33408553
Agreed

>>33417182
Nah, that is actually in someone's hands.
Something KUSA has yet to accomplish.

>>33417277
