Why did US palm stop production ??
>>33936402
Because people caught on that they took the Afrika Korps logo and replaced the swastika.
>>33936402
I was unaware of this as well. Does anybody still have these in stock?
>>33936419
And that warrants stopping?
>>33936420
I cannot find one anywhere not even ebay.
How do I get ahold of that Bakesrus dude from the last thread who was selling slings?
>>33936402
They're reorganizing their retail branch, I think. They might be back, but no word on when. At the moment all commercial sales are suspended.

Why no alg? pure fag?
May be moving to cali in a few months have a very good job opportunity, what can I do to get an AK that's the least shitted up and still be legal?
I'm fine with making it a straight pull bolt action. I just want it to look normal, be able to hold it properly and not have to fuck around with some shit maglock garbage. Am I better off going with an SKS?
Also, how am I expected to transport weapons? Here I have constitutional carry and can do pretty much whatever I want.
What about pistols? CCW? Will be in San Jose if that helps.
Thanks guys.
>>33937170
SKS
or close off gas port and use it as a straight pull bolt gun like you said. I think that's legal. idk.
I should probably find a Russian ribbed steel magazine.

Have you experienced the ultra autism known as amd65tech.com?
>>33937253
I can always leave unfucked guns with my father. He loves them as much as I do and lives in the middle of nowhere. I'd probably visit every couple months to enjoy them as well as check up on him and make sure he's doing good.
The job has a good starting and after a few years it will be so much more. I can always move to Dallas later on since it's in high demand there as well. It's worth it in the long term.
I'm more concerned about defending myself at home, but even more outside of the home.
I'll probably just end up going with an SKS, since I can't stand the sight of a fucked cali AK, but I'd still like to know what my options are for CCW and I'm not too sure where to ask abut that.
Sorry for the novel, boys.

The afghans would put some weird shit on their rifles. Pakitape and MRE stickers on everything. I saw one guy that had little chains running along his M16 barrel. some had BFAs on just so they could hang their rifle by the ring. jackass with a M240 carried his ammo on his chest like rambo and carried the gun over his shoulder.

What a fucking drama queer. He should be demodded immediately. He's talking about a metaphorical "kill on sight" policy while later admitting that he hasn't ran any of this past the other mods or the admin. Acting as the voice of the forum with this loose cannon shit is an abuse of his position.
you're finished
>>33938631
It's time for a witch hunt boys
Posting it again
Not sure if I should keep it or return it
>>33939190
Keep it and sell it down the road.
>>33939190
Why
>>33939190
I get the impression that 545 has always been a bit finicky and keyholes easily.
But I don't know much about if the full length barrel's twist rate would do that to it or not.
>>33939257
Lack of chrome lining extending out the muzzle.
How much were the AES that J&G was selling a couple of months ago?
>>33939257
Normally, chrome covers the entire crown. Anywhere dipping in towards the bore should be silver in color.
>>33939257
Rather than being an actual krink barrel, it's just a cut down barrel.
>>33936402
who cares?
buy the metal reinforced Pmags or Toth Tool if you want good US made mags

Really curious as to why I see so many pics of FN guns with blue electrical tape on the grip. Any reason for that?
>>33939190
You're making me nervous that my 16" 5.45 barrel I picked up from this sale is gonna have some underlying problem
>>33939540
It's literally all the same guy.
>>33939543
From what I understand, only the "Krink" barrels have the issue. The 16" and 20" barrels aren't cut down, but they are Bulgarian and not Russian like K-VAR claimed.
>>33938868
500 rds???
That's about one or two range visits. Might as well just rent a gun if you think that's all you'll shoot in your lifetime.
>>33939543
My 176b is great
I also got a 603 that's a little wonky, but I suppose in a good way, it will just require a little machining. Zastas 603 looked different than mine and has a different set of numbers stamped into it. Point being some of the barrels don't seem to standardized, but I wouldn't worry about the 176b
>>33939543
I have two Bulgarian 74 barrels from Kvar and they're great
That's probably what this "krink" barrel was made from
>>33939551
I was skeptical from the moment they started saying they were Russian. There's this mindset that since Bulgaria never "made" RPKs, that anything RPK related out of Bulgaria HAS to be Russian. As if Arsenal's barrel machines are incapable of making RPK barrels.
It's still a well made CHF-CL RPK-74 barrel for a great price. Gas port, extractor cuts, and handguard retainer channels are already made. Threaded muzzle.
>>33939590
Statistically speaking he's right though. Your average /k/ommando already shoots far, far more than a typical gun owner, who only drags it out when they're bored. I'm pretty sure I put more rounds through my Glock 19 last month than my dad has ever put through his Glock 23, and he's had his at least two years longer than I've had mine.
>>33939551
Oh. I see.
>>33939601
>>33939631
Did your 16" 5.45 barrels come with the handguard retainer cuts already cut? That is the only thing missing on mine and I'm not sure if that's normal or not as I've never bought any AK barrels before. It isn't a big deal as it isn't a difficult thing for a builder to do when installing, I just don't know if that's how they all come from KVar
>>33939705
5.45 bottom
7.62 top
Yes mine is finished. Interestingly the 7.62 barrel looks a lot like a Saiga barrel. Kvar says it's compatible for AK-103.
>>33939771
Just for reference if anyone is interested in these barrels. Guess I'll need to buy calipers
>>33939771
Should I be worried about not having the retainer cuts? Why would they send me an unfinished barrel of others are getting finished ones?
Sorry if these are dumb questions, new to kits and building
>>33939705
I'm talking about the cuts parallel to the barrel on both sides, the slots where the handguard retainer slides on to keep it from rotating. Not the notch. A virgin barrel should not have the notch cut. My 74 barrels and my RPK-74 barrel all have those cuts, however...
My krinkov barrel does not. The gas port is drilled, but it doesn't have any machining for the lower handguard retainer done.
>>33939865
Ah ok cool, again sorry for sounding like a retard with dumb questions
>>33939893
There's a lot to learn. Mine 7.62 doesn't even have the bolt face cuts, whatever they are called.
>>33939948
Its called a extractor cut i believe.
Pls halp
I own a mosin and an SKS(as well as a mauser)
So it's time to buy my first "real" rifle obviously I want to stick with 7.62x39/54r since I already have a bunch of that.
I cant choose between pic related Romanian ak in Russian red for about 800~ from Atlantic arms or a vepr in 54r with the Atlantic arms red svd furniture for about 1k
I think I'm really leaning towards the vepr just because I'm autistic and like the fake svd aethetic but the ak sure is beautiful and quite alot cheaper(specially since I would also have to get a scope on the vepr would could be another 300 dollars)
Also how often if at all does Atlantic arms restock thier inventory as the Romanian ak is currently out of stock and I would really like to make the purchase sometime within the next 2 weeks.
Any input at all would be appreciated I'm terrible at making up my mind and generally let others do it for me.
>>33940072
Pic related is what I'm going for minus the extended magazine as I like the original magazine better
>>33940072
>>33940101
Buy the vepr or a wasr .
>>33939540
>>33939551
>>33939633
My fuckin sides
How should I go about zeroing my AK in a range measured in yards?
Everything that I have seen online seems to conflict eachother or it tells you how to sight at 100M.
pls halp
>>33940072
I'd say get a SLR if you want a x39. If you want a Romanian AK, get a WASR-10 and it'll be cheaper and serve all your basic x39 needs. Otherwise, I hear veprs in full power cartridges are either boring and/or just don't have the MOA that people would like.
>>33940072
Buy a WASR and you can get fancy furniture like that and you'll have a better rifle for cheaper.
Anyone know anything about these or bought one?
Underfold or fixed stock?
:Thinking:
>>33940399
Just get a WASR. You can cut for UF easy enough. Or buy a Yugo if you want UF
>>33940399
Get a wasr.
Does anyone have a mak90 here with what looks like a sheared front trunion.
>>33940072
>>33940101
I'd go with the vepr, full size veprs are beautiful and a lot of fun. But 762x39 offers a lot of what a full rifle does when you compare mud-busting fun ability.
Objectively speaking, the vepr308 would serve you better with ammo cost for noncorrosive(significantly cheaper than even surplus corrosive 54r), and magazine capacity since it's double stack. And there's even some options for folding stocks in that caliber with 20 or 23in barrels.
But I can't argue you chasing a certain look, even it's expensive and just vaguely svd-ish looking.
How much 54r do you actually have on hand? since that seems to be influencing your decision. If you have 1000rds or less, I wouldn't let that influence your decision. That's just a short term stash if you shoot much at all.
>>33940519
Pic related.
>>33940519
The bolt doesn't lock on that does it? Probably fine
I bought a Tantal folding stock last week and it just came in yesterday.
I realized it didn't work because the lever didn't have any tension on it because of the trunnion. I was gonna call it a day but after a few shots of whiskey I started getting ideas.
>>33940617
I cut the neck of a x54R, flattened it out, stated shaving metal off the sides until I got it to fit.
It looks like ass but I'm gonna make a v2 sometime soon.
>>33940597
Thats my nhm91
>>33940519
Im curious why some mak90s have this cut.
>>33940533
>>33940636
I think the stock looks but others may disagree.
I should also find a better sling too
PSA reminder that lee armory reported competitors to the ATF in a attempt to get them in trouble.
Check out my sweet bake mag i made.

That's retarded
>>33940973
How ? Now i can physically see how much is left. Also can clean out dirt with haste.
>>33940770
Oh I'm glad someone saved that. I forgot to and I don't feel like screencapping everything else that went on in there.
>>33940770
I ain't no snitch but you're an idiot if you're manufacturing guns without serial numbers or the legally required manufacturer info.
>>33941097
But he wasn't. Lee Armory reported Jemak for no reason.

SLR-104FRs are being discontinued. For reasons.
http://www.arsenalinc.com/usa/PRODUCTION-ENDS-FOR-POPULAR-SHOOTING-RIFLE-SLR-104FR-SERIES.html
>>33939865
I just realized that krinkov handguard retainers do not have those grooves therefore there is no reason for the handguard retainer cuts to be made into the barrel, so this criticism here is not valid
>>33941156
You would know a lot about those types, huh?
>>33941206
I might make people uncomfortable but I think I'm pretty predictable and only spastic online
>>33941201

Sherlock anon
K-Var mystery crate #2 was open. Just a lot of Izzy/Molot furniture and VEPR-12 mags.
>>33941739
Boring. Those are also saiga 12 mags. Not vepr mags.
>>33941739
I knew it was going to be folding stock sets

>>33940636

I shimmed mine with a piece of sheet metal I had lying around. I bent it into a "U" shape and then put it in upside down. Tantal stocks are great
>>33941862
>>33941804
Never mind, I found it
>>33941487
With the amount of money I'll be making, it's definitely not a mistake. It will set me up for life.
>>33941901
Unless you want guns....
>>33941867
It seems pretty solid. I just need to find a rear screw for the stock tho
>>33941961
How much did you pay for the stock ?
Package delivered
I can pick up an 86 krink kit plus bulgarian barrel (non mystery crate) for 1700. Good deal?
>>33941975
75$ with free shipping on ebay. It came with a bakelite lower hg and two upper hgs
>>33942138
piss off
>>33942171
I can't figure out what that tab on the brown upper hand guard is for
>>33942133
When you say Bulgarian barrel, if you mean a true virgin Bulgarian krinkov barrel, then that is a screaming fucking deal
>>33936309
http://palmettostatearmory.com/psak-47-gb2-polymer-rifle-77929392.html
Under 550 non blem with forged carrier and free shipping. Shit keeps getting cheaper
>>33942193
I don't believe the 74ullc hype. Which specific options do i need on a recreator 100%?
>>33942193
Also the barrel was from a bulgy kit. Is that what you're referring to?
>>33941356
That's nothing special.
>>33942224
The only option you need should be in the upper right hand corner of your browser window
>>33942246
If you mean a Bulgarian krinkov kit, then yes, that's where the virgin krink barrels originally came from.
>>33942224
He doesn't make one that's correct for krink tyme
>>33938835
Yes, absolutely. They are well worth the price. Do mind not to get any of the early models though. There was an early batch that had cheap finish that would bubble. Anything past serial code 40 is good.
Always a good day when the police get called. Old lady called police reporting machine gun fire.

Not surprised at all that you were retarded enough to buy it.
>>33942419

Fuck I'm so glad I ended up not buying one of these
This is pretty shitty on KVAR too

>>33942625
Tfw everyone gets a Maadi but me
>>33942649
Trade me :^)
One of these days you'll get sick of me suggesting it and say yes
>>33942625
But I want it
>>33942649
When i did the transfer, the guy working the counter said he was in the IDF. Said the enemy used maadi's but couldnt shoot for shit. We also made some uzi talk. Great guy. The best.
>>33942674
Haha, you're going to be waiting a while. A1 is a never sell
>>33936309
Is it worth it to have a permanently fixed muzzle brake on an AK to lose 2" of barrel? I'm concerned it will turn into a carbon trap with no good way to clean it.
Proper SBR is not an option for me.
>>33942685
>>33942733
What's with the trips? Nobody cares who you fags are, especially not in general discussion.
>>33942553
Underfolder is the best looking imo. Just not the most comfy.
>>33942723
Former IDF guys are always really cool. I picked up two really hairy hitch hikers once when I was like 19 (stupid thing to do but I was a dumb teenager) and it turned out they were fresh out of their IDF service and here hitchhiking across the US together. Super cool guys, I hung out with them for a few hours and bought them lunch before sending them on their way
>>33942733
I didn't say sell, I said trade :^^
I don't blame you for never wanting to sell it, they're super cool. They just have that cool vibe to them that few other guns have, but they're also great guns which is kind of rare for guns that have the same kind of cool factor to them. Someday down the road I'll pick one up
>>33942723
Nice lol that'd be some of my relatives.
What'd he have to say about UZIs?
>>33942755
Meh I only trip sometimes
>>33942802
He was a bro for sure. Pulled out his mp5k clone with an omega9k and folding mp5 brace on it. Let me play with it, which brought me to discuss my recently acquired model b.
>>33942806
Discussed the available parts that one may or may not have in his or her possession or non-possession. Said they were still running the uzi's when he was in, and we admired them for what they are. Nothing like his new toy, but great for what it is. Plus you can throw in a closed bolt buffer and speed up the fire rate.
>>33942755
I am extremely important
>>33942915
That's a neat trick, making the bolt travel shorter like a MAC
>>33943124
Not like it matters with a closed bolt. I would never do anything illegal.
>>33943151

Same thing happened with golden tiger, and it all but went off the market for a couple years.
No big deal, just be patient till they're done filling a few contracts.

With a regular heatshield or the one that just sits on top?

What countries keep buying up all Bulgarian and Romanian production lines? I know a few African countries have orders some Arsenal stuff before and so has Iraq but who else? I know some "rebels" got their hands on some new manufacture Romanian AK's as well (probably through Turkey) but seriously...
>>33943469
Regular.
>>33943477
My question exactly. My knowledge is Arsenal Bulgarias military export guns are milled.
>>33943401
FUCKING WELP
Guess I'm dropping 1k this weekend. Bye bye tax return, I was saving up for a new car but noooooo.
>>33943525
Buy AK then use AK to steal car
Save money in the long run
>>33943401
How long has it been since the 107FR went out of importation? When are they supposed to bring them back?
>>33943547
Excellent idea.

I want a Chinese AK so badly but I desperately need a new car first

Especially with that free room and board after getting caught for stealing a car.

Why is Krebs custom shit? Thats what the paste bin said, but without a reason why.
>>33943663
They literally just "customize" shit. They don't build anything of their own. Go ahead and pick up a Krebs Customs RAS-47 though if you hate yourself that much
>>33943663
Exact same logic here >>33941294
Hey take meh at best and shit at worst rifles, """customize""" them with dumb pointless stuff, then charge $2k for their finished product
>>33943599
My theory is that they don't have enough people and move them around.
>>33943743
You mean enough employees?
Hello everyone
>>33943866
Damn phone rotating everything.
Was $684 for that postban SAM7R a decent grab?
>>33943401
Sure glad I bought mine in 2014
>>33943917
How much did you pay for it then?
>>33943954
I got for 900$, I think it was on sale cant remember.
>>33941961
That shouldn't be too hard. And if you don't find one you can always tap the hole to an 8x32 or something common. Good luck
>>33943565
There was a small batch earlier this year. Not sure if it was newly imported or if atlantic just had a bunch of them sitting in the back of the warehouse in the event of a hillary win. Supposedly no more until 2018.
What really sucks is that the 104fr is really the only factory 5.45 sidefolder worth buying that isn't a vepr with goofy RPK features.
5.45 is just getting bullied all the time now. I'm kind of sad about it.

>>33936309
Hey, /akg/. I turned 18 a few weeks ago and picked up my first rifle today - an SLR-104FR. However, there are a few things about it that confuse me. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to put on this damn sling. Also, why do the manual and box say 5,45x39,5 instead of just 5,45x39? I'm loving the rifle so far and will shoot it tomorrow morning. I went ahead and got 1,000 rounds of Golden Tiger a while ago.
>>33944346
Nice, a preban
You have to totally extend the sling, lay it flat from buckle to clip, it doesn't seem possible but you get the clip through the buckle by twisting
You did buy x39.5 golden tiger right? I seriously hope you didn't buy a whole case of 5.45x39. It's like the difference between .223 and 5.56, you might get away with it or you might lose your face.
>>33944346
Congrats on the purchase. Just you tube how to put a sling on that model and there will be a video. FYI you'll most likely want to swap the trigger after you shoot it
>>33944372
Kek
>>33944372
This
The sling should be pretty easy, mine slipped in perfect when I first got it
I recently purchased a new Vepr FM47 and some of the paint is scratched off where I marked it in the pic. How worried should I be about rust and should I even bother getting like one of those automotive paint markers to fill it?
>>33944391
Its fine .
>>33944372
What do you mean by preban? I did notice that the serial number is extremely low (low 200's).
>>33944373
I was already considering doing that when I get the money.
>>33943401
Looks like I lucked out. Kek.
>>33944455
>preban
Its a joke.
I like the Obzor, but the reticle is a little dark and I think the tritium needs to be replaced. Anyone know where to get replacement tritium or how to go about replacing it?
What are /k/'s thoughts on 5.45mm AKs? I'd really like to get one but the round seems pretty unsupported and that worries me. I don't like having ammo I can't just get from the local shop or even reload.
>>33944761
Ammo is not really a huge issue. There's plenty of commercial ammo, and it's still cheaper than 5,56. The only problem is that you have to buy it all online.
>>33944568
Do you know what size the vial is?
There's plenty of places to get tritium from.
>From reading, the vial is under a cover, either on the side or the bottom.
>>33944912
I don't know the size unfortunately, and I'm too drunk at the moment to take it apart to find out. I figure its under the side plate, but I'll need to take it apart to find out. Any recommended websites, or should basically all of the tritium I get online be the same?
>>33937645
I-is that JB weld?
>>33939540
Because he thinks it's something the russians do so in his mind it's super authentic vatnik shit when in reality he looks like a damn retard
>>33945111
I'm pretty sure he doesn't think any Russians actually do that and he just did it because he liked how it looked
>>33940072
Why the fuck does this "romanian" rifle have a stainless bolt carrier?
>>33945152
Century does that a lot on their commissioned builds because it looks bling and attracts normies
>>33939523
same
>>33945005
I've personally used Mixglo.com before several times, but not knowing the size I can't say if they'll have what you need.
There's a few guys on CandlePowerForum that sell tritium as well.
You might try and hunt around and see if you can find someone that's already taken one apart and measured the vial.
Or be very careful to remove it for measurement, the tubes are super fragile.
>>33945111
>thinks it's something the russians do
And you think it's not?
Just because it's become a meme here, doesn't mean it doesn't have a real world counterpart.
>tfw Bakersrus and his slings never came back
>>33944391
it's going to scratch there anyways if you put a sling on it
>>33945005
Let us know if your successful with a tritium replacement, document the attempt I'd be curious
>>33945299
>not using sling silencers that also keep the metal from banging together and scratching up everything
>>33945203
Thanks for the info /k/omrad
>>33945367
Sling is fine how it is, faggot. It rolls raw dawg.
>>33945383
Sure.
Good luck and as this anon said >>33945357 please document it and post.
It seems stuff like this doesn't get attempted or if it does the people who do don't share the information.
>>33945391
Enjoy your scratched up gun.
I don't even actuate the safety on my AKs, because I'd rather not scratch the receiver.
>I bet you shoot your gun too, fucking savage.
Best receiver for a Galil?
CNC worth it or nah?
>>33945415
>shooting your gun
I would not dare purposely devalue my guns. They are meant to looked at, not shot.
>>33945415
being in possession of the gun will eventually lead to a scratch or two, which is why i dont even oen my guns anymore. theyre pristine forever now that theyre out of my hands.
LOL

Thats a kvar barrel isnt it ?
>>33944761
If you want a slr-104 go buy one now. There's a good chance Arsenal is playing fuck-fuck games to move rifles after the election, but we're still sitting around waiting for the 107fr to come back.
>>33944839
>plenty
Most of the 5.45 coming into the US in large quantities is Tula and a bunch of different flavors of Barnaul. GT has stuck around for a while now after being absent for ages. Hornady isn't fuck around ammo and neither is 7n6 (anymore).
Not like the sky is falling or anything, but the bulk of 5.45 in the US is imported from two companies in Russia. There's tons of it to be had right now, for what that's worth.
>>33945464
This is low even for Drago
This is one hustle I just HAVE to knock
>>33945512
>we're still sitting around waiting for the 107fr to come back
Meanwhile K-Var is stockpiling them, hoping for something bad to happen so they can "find" them in their warehouse and sell them for "only" $1999.95
>>33945264
I am here.
>>33945264
4x remain of 20x. Not best stamps but it is what it is if interested. Find me on Facebook. James Cor

yep
Miss out on super happy cheap Russian mag time?
have i a deal for you

>>33946156
I'm half tempted to get a batch of these and try a few backyard type rust removal methods on them
>Mainly the white vinegar and molasses methods
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vq5IUiYMhRM
I bet they could be made to look halfway ok, as long as they're not too far gone to begin with.
>>33945732
>James Cor
Sent you a message. Hope I found the right James Cor.
>>33946296
I got a batch, 2.50ea shipped. A guy on a FB page got a few extra with his
>>33946156
>https://www.centerfiresystems.com/p-9161-ak-47-30rd-eastern-european-rusty-mags-24-pack.aspx
That's not a bad deal. Even if you can only get 12 reliably working magazines out of the parts from 24 that's a steal.
>>33946325
Have you got them yet?
If so how good/bad are they?
If not, would you post them when you do?
>>33946156
Am I autistic for ordering a 24 pack and then shipping them off to a gunsmith that specializes in refinishing weapons, etc? I mean if I can get a deal, $75 to get the lot refinished, at $125 (plus whatever else) that's a decent enough deal
>>33946449
Seems rather lazy, but it's your money.
I doubt he'll do anything more than you could achieve at home, unless they're being blued.
