I think it could've but it still wouldn't allow it to perform like an AR-15 for that test since it's still not as tightly sealed. But honestly, I really want those selectors for my AKs now, they just look neat-o

>>33470787
>would this have made a difference in the infamous InRangeTV mud test?
Probably, but it's a mud test and who cares.
It's about as scientific and noteworthy as... well, a mud test on a gun.

How much are unregistered full auto AK's worth?

I was looking online and ones that are registered can go for $15,000 but I saw a comment that if it is unregistered they are good for nothing but parts and wouldn't go for more than $400.

Hypothetically, if I were to just have came into possession of one should I return it? Can I go and register it or did it have to be registered before 1986????

>>33471817
Hypothetically, even posting a hypothetical question like that is a good way to get your dog shot.
No you can't register it.
What it's good for is SHTF. So stick it in a wall or something and wait for the race wars.

>>33473726
While unlikely, it's possible the Krink mag could be a Paki orange mag. Hard to say.

I'm voting airshit too, but stranger things have happened.

It's airshit, you can even see the plastic reinforcement on the front lug of the mag that 95% of 5.45 airshit AK mags have

>>33473846
so 2 real VSS's and an airshit krink.....?

I was thinking it was a cop car in Ukraine or some other soviet satellite state

>>33473863
It's a VSS and a VSK-94 which appear to be real, but the krink is unquestionably airshit

How does the VSK have a straight mag but the VSS and AS Val have curved mags and they all 3 use the same ammo?

>>33473931

Ima blow your mind right now, m16 uses both straight and curved mags, and that's one single firearm not even a different model, it's like fuckin voodoo shit

>>33473976
WTF I hate M16's now.

>>33473931
It's easiest to make stamped steel straight than it is to give it curvature like the plastic VSS mag.

>>33473931
Curved mags are only needed for reliability with more bullet

Plenty of cartridges are perfectly fine with straight mags as long as you don't try to load too much ammo like that

>>33474054
>>33474063
The reason I asked was because if it was possible to make straight mags for that ammo all along, why did they start out with the AS Val and the VSS using curved mags? Why not just start out using straight, easier to manufacture mags for those guns?

I don't expect anybody here to actually know why the gun designers did what they did, I'm just kind of thinking out loud...that sort of thing.

>>33474096
VSS and VAL mags are already basically straight, and with the way they're built I wouldn't doubt that they borrowed molds from RPK-74 mags

Also >>33474054

>>33474096
Good point

>>33473846
If im not mistaken Izhmash makes rear trunnions with the solid locking bar like that. Think they are civilain pieces. But yeah its airsoft junk.

pretty much whatever the owner feels like asking.

>>33474186
They do, just recently. But you can see on the airshit one that there is a small indention meant to mimic the hole. The ones you are talking about don't have that, and they are a darker color from what I've seen as well.

>>33474256
Zasta is the one with the Bizon kit, I've never laid hands on one unfortunately

>>33469556
I'd like to add to my previous question...

Why isn't pic related real? I find it interesting to have a bayonet mounted on a krink. The shopping might not be accurate or the right scale, but affixing the bayonet like so would be possible if you had parts custom made, no?

>>33474434
From rear lug to front ring on an AK bayonet is 5 inches

Chimps can tell you the distance from krink GB to front of the MD but basically the reason is cause that distance is shorter than 5 inches

>>33474440
So if you had a gas block fabricated with a lug and a compensator/brake that was long enough to secure the front, it could work? It's a more cleaner/sturdier alternative for affixing a bayonet to a krink than if you used zip ties, duct tape, etc.

>>33474645
You'd literally need a muzzle device that was 6 inches long, but I guess unless there's something I'm missing about those blocks

Sweet. Also I like the Romanian Revolution pictures you posted. I had a neighbor who was in the Revolution. He was a machine gunner on a T55 I believe. Somewhere there's a picture from it that actually has him in it he told me years ago.

Also, fun fact for anyone interested, Russiansurplus.net has polymer experimental dust covers. He's G2G. I've ordered many small parts and slings from him before

She came back 2 years later to grab my mom who was an infant when she decided to bolt and then came back to America again with my momma. Its a neat story but im shit at telling stories.

They are both Pakistani magazines. Basically copies/knock offs. Locking lugs are made off brass instead of steel. They are (as far as i know) plastic with a brush over made to look like bakelite.

Out of curiosity, have you read Defector by Mark Hobafcovich? He's a neighbour of mine (not the T55 gunner, he moved 6-7 years ago) who defected from Ceaucescu's Romania in 1980 via. Australia. I have a copy of the book I got from him, and for defections it's actually a great read. I'll post a pic momentarily.

Do it.
I've spent over $600 for mags, accessories and ammo for an HK91 clone and I have no idea when or even if I'll ever buy one.
It's not like I can't sell the stuff in the future if I decide to not get one.

I don't know who had one first. I want to say Zasta but I don't know if anyone here had one before him.

When did you get yours?

>>33476990
According to AK Files feedback May 2016

No issues with it since then. It was a bit of a pain to zero but that's just Russian optics, and once it's zeroed you don't need to worry about it anymore. Other than that being a pain it's been great

Not how NFA tracker works

NFA tracker tells you how long the people who are currently having forms approved have waited. Which is not necessarily an indication of how long you will wait if you submit a form today.

>>33477140
It has 3 sections of each wait time bar on the graph. The last section, 'received stamp', is 135-145 days for the 10 people who supplied data. Of course this doesn't predict the future

>>33475854
how much did you pay for it?

In the market for a bug-out gun, would a WASR be fine or should I save for something like a FM? Just looking for something that can hit man-sized targets at around 100 yards or less, I have a rifle for beyond that range.

>>33477324
>would a WASR be fine

WASR would be fine. Easily hit targets in that range, and even farther out if you need to.

>>33470566
I have extensive experience with ARs and AKs but I dont own either right now, I was interested in getting a PSA parts kit for either an AR or AK but I dont know which is the better deal.

What quality are the kits? I see that the AR one will be around $500 with shipping, taxes, and fees and the AR will be about for, which one would actually be worth it?

Also, I see IO AKs going for about $500, I've heard they are terrible but what is wrong with them? Are they actually American made or just American assembled?

I've never shot one but one time when I was at the range a guy had one. He was basically just making loud noises and chewing up the ground 30 feet in front of him. He didn't even bother to put out any targets. Just mag dumping for the sake of mag dumping.
It kinda looked like fun and I've honestly considered buying one just for the hell of it.

>>33478209
$1350 for the pistol, $50 for the gunbroker gold membership to allow me the privelege to buy one, $100 for shipping and sales tax for the privilege of living in NC, and the transfer will be $25.

I've already seen two of them resold on GB for over $3000 though so I don't mind, I'm gonna play around with it for a while and then sell it

No kidding man. So what are the legalities behind importing magazines? I've heard to separate the internals from the mag bodies, but is there anything else?

>>33478792
You need a license to import mags, no matter what anyone here says. You can do it under the table with very little risk of getting caught if you're smart about it (not gun words, separating the mags into pieces, multiple small packages, stuff like that) but it's still technically illegal without the proper licenses.

I'm assuming you're looking for a 74, in which case a Bulgarian kit is your best bet. KVAR has the kits for around $599, or you can buy a fixed stock kit from something like What A Country for $370 or so, then buy a separate side folder, trunnion, and front/rear hardware if needed. Then you'll still need a barrel and a receiver before someone can build it for you.

I'm with >>33478567 on this - unless you have a specific type of AKS-74 you're wanting, you're better off just buying an Arsenal. I'm nearly 3 years into my 1983Russian AKS-74N build and my current total for all parts, receiver, and build work is something close to $2,200 - and that's before you factor in some $600 worth of magazines and two bayonets worth around $200 total.

Bought a converted Saiga 5.45 last year and have been having a lot of fun with it. I would like to add better furniture and a muzzle brake.

Am I missing anything for turning a base Saiga 5.45 into pic related? The most work I have previously done with a firearm is replacing a Makarov recoil spring. Any advice or criticism is appreciated

Don't buy Timbershit.
It's junk and overpriced.
Get the front end fully converted, instead of bolt on retainers.
That muzzle device isn't anything like an actual 74 brake other than appearance.

I have AK74 Russian Laminate 4pc sets for 60 + shipping...don't over pay.

I want to move to AZ, OR, or WA. I spent a couple weeks in Portland over the summer and fell in love with the scenery and climate but I could do without all the libs. I'm not sure I could handle the desert heat

OH. I live in the city but there's nothing but flat and corn around if I drive out

One of these with a bipod, cleaning rod retainer, and RPK74M clubfoot stock would actually be heckin sweet.

if you don't have an in demand degree, I hope you enjoy living in the country. Housing and job market are very competitive.
