I called him last Friday; my kit got there mid October. He said another couple of weeks and that he's currently working on finishing some kits that got there in late August through mid September.

No prob. If you're curious about build status just call him during the day. Mike always picks up during working hours and has been 100% professional with me, even going so far as to tell me I can call and check on status whenever I like (which, given how anxious gun guys can be, struck me as a good sign).

Are you just using the "auto" setting or are you trying manual controls? Indoor lighting or sunlight? Both are fine just need to find the right amount for the job. For example this was taken with just one lamp light on at night.

Go for it, they're fairly cheap used and it's literally just a pin to punch out to swap between them

I would suggest Katalox. Much harder and denser than even ebony, but keeps the dark color and smooth texture. For the amount required it would probably be under 200 if you could find a log, probably sub 100 if you laminate smaller pieces together. This is sans labor costs and shipping.

Try manual. You dont have to go full manual either. If your camera is like mine it might have individual settings. For example i can ajust iso or apeture and let the camera do the rest. Tinker around with it. Get an idea on what does what and how much is good or bad depending on your shot.

You're not going to be able to put Russian furniture on your NPAP, NPAP is not standard AKM furniture

Call or email Two Rivers Arms.
They have some nice M70 furniture (NPAP compatible), but they don't have it on their site any more.

Alternatively, Ironwood Designs sells sets too.
Neither are very cheap though
Iirc, the Two Rivers set is ~$150-$175, and the Ironwood is ~$300.
But you can get the Tabuk cut stock which is pretty sweet.

I should add that I have a kit stored away that I'll assemble when I feel comfortable and I already own or will soon own the tools needed.

I just don't know how to actually get good or practice doing this besides buying cheap kits and trying not to mangle them.

every single plum or black 74 mag I've ever seen has had mold numbers.

>>33605611

are those slrs?

>>33605441
Practice measuring and drilling shit with some cheap sheet metal mockup holes and stuff.

Make DAMN sure you know how to properly mount shit in your drill press.
You might want to invest in a laser or a piece of string to make sure things are straight sight wise.

And make sure you don't over-torque the screws on the butt stock.
I fucked up a perfectly good polish stock that way and now it has to wear a Romanian stock.

Looks like we both are losing snowflake status :^

i.o is not even at hi point level build quality, think of raven or jennings,

it's made with cast and improperly heat treated trunions, the most vital part of the gun

Noodle mystery meat barrels

gas blocks and sights held on by weak roll pins

Improper heat treated receivers which egg out after 300 rounds

the only thing positive is the furniture is made in poland and it's okay, most likely because it's not made in the mexican skunk works i.o calls a faculty

I need to take a family photo, but I have a M70 Opap with some surplus furniture, a M77, M90, and M92 in original furniture. I need to invest in some Ironwood down the line. My M77 is not a square cut receiver, unfortunately.

>>33607980
I have not been keeping up with the latest AK stuff, I used to post on AKFiles but got tired of dealing with the crazy fucking losers there- think if /b/ and /pol/ mated and had a retarded racist fetus grow in an asshole - but I digress...

Not familiar with IO, but I recall when B-West outsourced receiver building to a local metal shop down the road from them (who was NOT a licensed firearms manufacturer) and didn't heat treat the receivers. They built lots of Chinese kits and the holes egged like in that pic.

That is not to say all of B-West guns are bad, all of their completely foreign built Imports (which are Pre-Ban Chinese and Russian) are great.

I have a B-West Saiga. Had it converted to AK size (cut down and threaded barrel) and installed a real Russian triangle folding stock. It's pretty awesome. I just need to refinish it or else I'd post pics.

>>33607998
Update it with what? You nuts? It's a wartime Tugo kit with a Bosnian Fleur de Lis mag. It says as is. The side mount was made by PA Distributors, contracted to some Bosnian company. They don't make them anymore.

My Siaga has been "updated" though. As stated above, I need to have the stock refinished because I had the holes left from conversion welded closed.

>>33608036
>I need to have the stock refinished because I had the holes left from conversion welded closed.

I cannot figure out how having the holes welded closed in the receiver = needing to have the stock refinished. Care to elaborate?

>>33608157
So, the rifle was in the Saiga "sporter" format, when converted the trigger guard was moved forward, as you know, but the two holes on each side above the trigger remained and I didn't want gay ass plugs there so I had them welded at the same time, and had a traditional Russian fixed stock converted for Russian folding triangle stock. So the rear of the stock has been sanded and shows bare metal. The rest of the stock is black. I want to refinish it. Simple.
I had that dude in Oregon do the work, Turbo This but he doesn't do refinishing. Or didn't at the time.

>>33608124

There are two on there now.

I don't see the appeal of them. I had a good AK mag "collection" but decided to sell off almost all. Kept just Russian AK103 polys, Yugo BHO's and Bosnian mags. I saw the ridiculous prices on the Bosnians and couldn't resist selling one Fleur de Lis and a Single Rib no FDL for $700 abut a year ago. Don't know what prices are like now though.

Now just left with three FDL's, one of which has new spring. That's the one in the Autism pic posted above

There are some good reasons, some "tin foil" reasons. You can't wrap your head around that?

how many parts does the AK-107 share with the AK-74?

It looks like the receiver is the same.

Could I build a semi auto if I imported parts one by one?

JBI replied to my message this morning, for the record.

>>33608754
If you found a Russian with access to a MK-107 you could probably get him to send you everything you needed to build a functional AK-107 clone. Keep in mind that most Russians can't own rifles at all because you have to own a shotgun for 5 years just to get permission to own a rifle. And it seems like most MK-107 owners(?) in Russia are sponsored competitors. And what this would entail would probably still be illegal in some shape or form.

Owning a 62s I can tell you that the rifle doesn't feel as heavy as you would think. The added weight compared to a stamped AK is only in the receiver so it balances really well.
It also makes it more accurate and durable so personally I would never opt for a stamped slavshit instead of a Valmet.

Accuracy is debated and durability is negligible unless you're running over the gun with a truck, in which case shit like >>33610822 can still happen regardless of the milled receiver. Not to mention milled receivers are more prone to cracking from rapid temperature changes.

Ok.

So what did JBI say about your autism?

>>33612492
Sounds like you just practiced more to overcome your handicap. Slant brake has no affect on accuracy besides quicker follow up shots.
For shits and giggles, what kind of rifle ?

>>33612519
>sounds like you just practiced more to overcome your handicap.
Shot 2 sets of 10rds with a vz2008 at the regular targets I use out there with other aks etc. Removed the slant after a frustrating first 10 shots.
The difference was significant.

>>33612542
What distance?

>>33612542
Thats because it's a VZ2008 and not an AK, this is a common issue as slants were never supposed to be on VZs yet Century put them on them anyway.

This is like putting a slant brake on an AR and getting upset that it doesn't do the same as a birdcage.

>>33612557

so all this slant brake VZ ruckus got me thinking...what should I put on my VZ? (not that guy..just another VZ owner with a slant brake that came on it)

Unless you're talking about the garden variety autism that I ooze ceaselessly, I didn't ask him about my conversions, just gonna get the ball rolling on an AKM kit first.

We all do. They're shit! Pure shit!

How badly would it trigger the average regular browser of /akg/ if I put one of these on my VZ and posted pics of it in every thread?

>AK-74 Furniture on AKM

Why?

>>33612709
It wouldn't but it will look dumb.

>>33612727
probably bc its cheap and widely available.

>>33612850
So is akm ....

>>33612887
not as much as 74 furniture.

>>33612661
Nice. So what barrel are you gonna use?

>>33612947
I bet some US made bullshit.

>>33613050
I don't even see the purpose of buying a Russian kit and not having a Russian barrel. At least we have polish barrels and receivers and kits.

>>33613050

I'm using an ESS barrel actually. They're very well made.
