Fun fact I almost got written up at work when I was like 18 because I made a joke to one of my friends who worked with me about getting a peepee touch and my foreman overheard and got really mad haha

Peepee touch is just so much funnier sounding than anything else you could say that means the same thing

whats your experience with the Krinkov? It worth it?

Wanting first AK.

Cabelas only has RAS-47s and C92V2s and the locally owned funshop has a rack full of WASRs but they all have magwobble like a mad cunt. What do?

Was thinking about getting an SLR from KVAR, even though I really like buying my guns local.

>>33917413
>READ THE PASTEBIN
Fuck buying local, only transfer locally.

>Implying you know what mag wobble really is or how it might affect function.
AK mags can still move even when locked in.

>>33917421
I did read the pastebin. That's why I'm considering buying an SLR from KVAR.

And these WASRs wobble wise to side several millimeters and make loud metal-on-metal slapping noises when maneuvered around. The RAS-47s and C92V2s don't do that.

>>33915725
You're retarded

>>33917431
Side to side doesn't matter that much.
Front to back wobble is what can affect function.
It's a side effect of tolerance stacking; some mags might be tight, other looser.

>The RAS-47s and C92V2s don't do that.
That's nice, too bad they are made with sub-par components and will more than likely spontaneously disassemble themselves.

The SLR is a good choice, but know the same thing will be likely.
>also the funky amalgam of components will fuck with you once you know AKs more intimately
90 degree gas blocks and 14/1LH muzzles don't belong on the same rifle.

>>33917455
>Side to side doesn't matter that much.
Ah. Alright then.

>That's nice, too bad they are made with sub-par components and will more than likely spontaneously disassemble themselves.
And that's why I'm not going to buy one. They weren't in the pastebin and I know they're not as good, they're just tighter.

As long as the side-to-side wobble isn't a big deal, I'll probably pick up a WASR next payday.

>>33917472
Do you have any mags you can test in it?
Several mags of differing countries of origin and "sizes"?
That would be the ideal test to see if it's going to be an issue.
But if it's just a few mm with any given mag, it shouldn't be an issue.

>>33917474
Nah, this is my first AK.

The mags that come with the gun wobble side-to-side but they don't wobble front-to-back.

I need a complete Russian AKM set. There are some decent ones on akfiles right now but I'm broke. They also have the sling swivels on the side of the stocks and I'm not sure I want that.

>>33917495
Know where I could find one online? Also any state restrictions for those in Virginia? New to owning guns and wan't to make that my second buy, though worried about if it may cause ATF issues as I love my doggo dearly.

>>33917495
From that perspective, that looks like a 30rnd 7.62x39 mag.
>The Molot shield says otherwise though.

>>33917498
I prefer the sling swivel be on the side.
Why would you not?
>>33917508
Well it is an SBR so you would need to deal with that.

>>33918458
Does it have the correct barrel profile ?

>>33918427
I'm merely curious if anyone there might know of anything similar to it. Is that too hard to understand? I mean of fucking course I haven't checked out the hundred and one various super secret collector's websites specifically about the number of holes in modern Russian muzzle brakes, hence why I'm asking there. What a slap in the face reminder why I never venture outside of the marketplace

I finally got around to posting on the AK Forum and got an intelligent response there. Who would have thought that the AK Forum has better and more helpful people than the Files right

>>33918455
He's probably just really upset because he's sick of the stick and craving the dick

>>33918480

Yep , going to get a RPK bolt on and furniture just hate it would cost around 100 for it all. So mean time this is a "fix".

>>33918490
Yeah I read the reply on akforum, interesting

>>33917955
How old is your bike? I can see that it's an FZ 09, but that looks like an FZ 07 headlight.

Also, you should upgrade to LED turn signals in the front. It's more aesthetic, and it's more visible.

>>33918405
Are you even sure it's not a 101 or 103 brake?

If I were brake anon I'd tell him that I have, or have seen AK 101 and 103 brakes and that they have the holes for a specific reason. Get equally condescending back, but ask him to post links if he has any. Make it look like you're trying to learn more, while simultaneously shitting on his suggestion.

It makes sense, that's something I didn't know about. I'm hoping someone will point me in the right direction to these secret collectors forums so I can read up on it

>>33918550
Well you see it missing a hole means it's actually a hyper gigarare experimental defected A545 brake that was smuggled into the US in the anus of a cryofrozen polygenderspecies Siberian tiger making it actually R A R E R than anything else AK related we've ever known

Is it true that I'm Aghanistan the Russians who were issued Krinks weren't too fond of them? If that was true, did that mindset carry on in the service of the 74u? Are they still in Russian service today or have they largely been replaced with the 100 series? I see them with Ukranians in pics fairly often

>>33919247
Duh

>>33919291
I've heard that before but I don't know if it's true. I don't know what records indicate that. The average conscript is not like a navy seal who has book deals before they've even left the service. They don't have much of a voice. It could be true, I don't know.

They are still in use with lots of police agencies and such but have not been mass produced since 1993.

I saved it, and by the looks of it, the Russian barrel is slightly turned down. Not sure how much more than the Bulgarian.

I'm probably not going to even fuck with it unless I can find the original plans for the barrel that actually shows proper diameters.

If you happen to have that stashed somewhere, or know where I could find it, that'd be pretty cool though.

I could probably take some specific pictures for you if you want once I get home if I don't have what you want to see. I'm at work now.

>>33919504
I'm mostly worried about the barrel profile. I'm the RPK 74M clone guy, so I have a barrel to look at, but that's way more thinned out than the 7.62 barrel I purchased. It also appears more thin than the Russian 7.62 RPK barrel profile.

Forgot to tag you in my post.

Also, let us know when you find out what that guy from K-Var had to do to his Vepr, if anything, to use the factory folder. I need to know if I should be searching for the entire trunnion set and just buy a square back.

>>33919527
Thanks, I appreciate the offer.

>>33919549
I sent him a message on Facebook but he never replied. He seems to be active on akfiles as U/N KrinkCliff. At the very least the rear trunnion rivets were removed, because they are not original.

I'll have to send him a message or start a thread on the RPK side of the board.

I actually saw a dude with the 16" 5.45 with clubfoot on Fuckbook the other day. Maybe he started with the factory folder.

Somebody has to definitively know if it'll work or not.

I got a barrel from KVar that was delivered yesterday, and I'm planning on picking up a 74uLLC receiver and going through either POHF (if they answer) or Meridian (depending on how long it takes them to finish Endless Wait '83 Kit Anon's build). I want it built the absolute best it can be built and as close to original as I can get it. I'm gonna have to wait until either some guns of mine sell or a few paychecks because I'm really broke right now, I've already spent ~$850 on stuff for this kit plus I just bought a $1500 safe on Saturday so no spending money for a bit. It's not a big deal with the kit though, I figure it's gonna take another year at least to get a receiver and get it built so what's another month or two saving money in the grand scheme of things

>>33919701

I would be able to take measurements off the real thing, but I'm pretty sure the guy I got my kit from is going to actually demill the parts for me before he sends them, which means I won't get the barrel stubs.

Got my first tracking number today. Haven't felt this kind of excitement in a while, not knowing if it'll make it or not.

If you filter tap water through a Brita pitcher it will taste perfectly fine. I have a Brita pitcher and spare filters that I got for free because some small parts were broken. It's good tasting water. Plus it helps filter out the fluoride that the Jews put in the water to make you complacent and sedentary.

Oh, so that's what that picture is, nice. I'm sure you could ask him to send the barrel stubs as well.

I assume it's a guy in Russia, so is there any chance he can get his hands on a new Vityaz deact for a reasonable price? I've been looking for one with the railed dust cover, but can't find shit.

>pic related

>>33919925
Vityaz easily, one with a railed dust cover, dunno. Reasonable price, heck yes

>>33919845
I live in a pretty decent apartment building in a decent part of town so I really shouldn't have to worry about something being stolen, but I do anyway. I just have my carry gun and my ak74 with me.

>>33919989
Cool. I'm specifically looking for the RSB/Railed dust cover. If I can get the whole kit, neat, if I can just get my hands on those parts, that'd be cool too.

If I can't get one at all, I'll just have to settle for the older style. I'd ask somebody if they could pick up a saiga 9 and just chop it, but that'd be more expensive and I've heard that they were having issues with their railed dust cover cracking or something. I don't know if they switched materials or something, but it's just fucky.

If you find anything out, could you email me? It's the same one from the other day where we discussed the Vepr rear trunnion and such.

>>33920056
The good thing about the Saiga 9 is that you could get a non-deactivated bolt though. Otherwise you will have to get one custom fab'd. I'll send you an email.

>>33920165
Oh, I've actually dealt with that guy before, neat.

It looks like they are not going to dignify my trade offer with a response

>>33920661
I wouldn't take in a beat up Colt for a built krink kit.

>>33920669
It is guaranteed to go to the moon in value
It is much easier to sell than an NFA item
It appeals to Colt collectors, 1911 collectors, and US militaria collectors, which is a huge chunk of the US firearm collecting scene
And it has the uniqueness of being the only modern firearm you can buy that was actually issued to US military personnel.

Compared to a boutique parts kit build with a very limited scope of potential buyers.

It checks a lot of boxes

>>33920731

Honestly I'm not sure how to feel about my build wait at this point. Meridian took their post-sample Bulgarian kit from parts to finished in the span of about 5 days, but when I talked to him yesterday he said builds from October are being worked on now.

On one hand, I'd have probably done the same thing, but on the other, come on, 7 months is kinda ridiculous.

I mean I'd have no issues about it taking 7+ months had they said so from the beginning, not every month when you get a hold of them they tell you one more month. I'm sure it'll be worth it in the long run and it'll be a beautiful and fantastic rifle but I just wish they'd be up front about time frames, I know you went into the build knowing it'd take time for them to build it but still

At the very least Meridian is at the top of the list for builders for my kit simply because I know I can get a hold of them

>>33921609
severed fingers

>>33921523
Yeah, that's part of why I keep giving them so much leeway - like 74U LLC, they're in high demand because they turn out quality product, and I put in a build order with them at what was probably the worst possible time since early 2013. They're backed up hard and I know it. They're definitely on top of their communication though, far moreso than 74U LLC, and that's a big plus in an industry where the in-demand builders regularly just drop off the face of the earth entirely sometimes. I've never had their phone ring go for more than 2 rings whenever I call them during business hours.

>>33921609
I'd wish they'd stop with their mystery crate thing, I just want to know what they have

Not that I could afford it right now, watch it finally be RPKs and I'm broke

>>33921644
Yeah they definitely do seem to keep in touch, whenever you post about getting a hold of them they're always easy to get a hold of, and plus they're active on social media always updating what they've been doing

>>33921609
Hopefully something good since i missed a fucking rpk74 barrel GODDAMMIT

>>33921609
I would not be surprised if these are 2014 SGLs that they are dumming up hype for so that they can finally get them sold. Even after the Russian sanctions they had SGLs on their website for a long while simply because they were priced so high.

Might be some of the civilian folding stock sets, they had a ton of those

Would it be dumb for me to turn my SLR-104 FR into a pseudo AK-74M clone? Put the black polymer furniture back on, put a smooth dust cover on, and buy an appropriate AK-74M brake? I know it won't be correct but would it be dumb?

I cant get my stock hinge pin out, I've been trying for an hour and it hasn't budged
Any tips

>>33922375
Are you driving it in the right direction??

Seriously spray it with some penetrating oil and wait. Make sure the receiver is held tight as any movement while you hit it will work against you.

>>33922374
Nah it works

>>33922375
Try hitting it with the stock folded halfway

>>33922417

Do whatever makes you happy or least triggers your correctness autism. I don't personally get too hung up on clones, but I went older with my 104 and I sometimes want to buy some black furniture just to have a set.

You want good transfer of energy, make sure the rifle is braced against something solid when you hit the pin, and make sure your punch/pick is rigid enough to transfer the energy.. A 5.45 bullet will get it most of the way, just make sure you're striking it with something flat.

So a while ago I bought some of the battlefield pickup stocks from apex. My question is, why were there akm stocks in the Balkan wars? It says on apex that they are Romanian, but wouldn't all the AKs used in the conflict be yugo? Did Romania arm some of the groups fighting?

>>33925493
They're Jewy as fuck. Reminder that each SLR-104 comes to America with two magazines. They take one out when they do the work on each rifle.

>>33925649
>Why are there AKs in Africa
Guns tend to float around, not just in their country of origin.
Especially when there's a conflict going on.
>Ask the Syrians how they got new 100 series Bulgarian rifles.

Is a cleaning kit, 5 cell magazine satchel, a cleaning rod, oilers, a leather sling, and a cleaning rod worth $27 shipped?

>>33925649
A lot of Romy AK's made their way into the conflict zone.

>>33925698
This is all Hungarian 7.62x39 btw.

>>33925698
You said cleaning rod twice
I'd say its worth it if you don't already have those things.

>>33925757
Well I was thinking of getting this as a "ready to go" sorta thing for a truck gun, probably my Draco or AMD-65 if I ever get them SBR'ed or something.
>inb4 using an SBR/NFA item as a truck gun
Yeah, I know

>>33925584
How do you use it? It doesn't have a spout so it seems like you'd just have to pour it and make a mess

>>33925823
Dip your cleaning brush or patches into it.

And then paint it in Christmas colors?

>>33926425
That's not paint my dude, that's tape. I also had my AMD set up like your pic for a while except the cheek riser is welded to the stock instead of just bolted on. I might set it up like that for a while. I'll post pics in a while.

>>33926261
Nice, but what's going on with that sling?

>>33926438
i bought an Hungarian leather sling at a show. Idk why but i really like the way it looks.

>>33926434
>It's tape
Unfortunately, that's not mine.
How do you like the welded version?
Did you get the "drumstick" one (it's straightened so it can fold with a drum)?

4u. It's alright. Better than having something than can move around. It's not the drumstick version though.

I think he's referring to the fact that you have it on wrong

>>33926609
If in RU Customs it may be MIA.

>>33926640
Out of curiosity, why's that?
Have there been issues with Russian Customs lately?

Chimps/Zasta - are the rear trunnions on Russian AKS-74s finished in the same way as the receiver? I just realized the one I sent to Meridian was still either parked or raw sandblasted and that the outer pinholes would be a starkly different color from the rest of my receiver. If they were painted once installed on the gun, I'm going to take advantage of the extended wait and call to make sure he finishes the rear trunnion since I asked him to preserve original finish wherever possible.

As far as I can tell the trunnion itself was painted over, but the button wasn't.

How do yall strip and refinish stocks? Wood stain and linseed oil? I want to refinish a Romanian stock. Mainly asking how to strip the old stuff off.

Didnt get much intrest about it so i didn't bother. Now just saving it for a rainy day i guess.

>>33927548
Can't fault you there.
Unfortunately there's a severe lacking in the market for rifles with the 5.5mm hinge.
Too bad to, because there are some very cool stocks, like yours.
