Why do firearm consumers defend this?

>>34017748
people pay good money for the authentic experience anon

>>34017748
Contrary to popular belief, a little bit of cant isn't going to hurt you, you obsessive cunt. No one ever said that combloc guns were as refined as the AR-15.

>>34017748
>Anyone care to explain why people defend such shitty quality control practices?

because you're buying a potato farmer gun and expecting high end precision manufacturing

>>34018008
True. I think what he's saying though is that many aren't paying potato farmer prices for a potato farmer gun

the true russian experience is fixing it yourself

>hit it with hammer a few times
>repin, drilling holes as necessary

>>34018008
I don't think expecting aligned sights on a $1000+ rifle is unrealistic or particularly difficult to achieve.

If it shoots straight and the front sight post is centered in the front sight block its fine.

>implying the "Have it Your Way™" fagpulled AR15 is an example of superior craftsmanship

I swear new ARs are the perfect example of modern America. Its just a cheap, corporate and gaudy gun, but still touted as supreme because of its halfway decent legacy.

>>34018630
honestly I hate how oversaturated the AR after market is, they just make the things turned into overly customized excessively gaudy and extremely cheap P.O.S.

>>34018630

well it's more that you're not getting a gun that was put together from imported parts

if I bought a $1000 AK from some top name brand and it had canted parts I would return that shit and demand they cover the replacement

but a $500 century rifle? what the fuck ever

>>34018670
Well at least Veprs are decent. It'd be nice to see some more better domestic AKs, I'd like to see the gun market get more variety instead of just AR variation #921288999

>>34017984
Its just because your yankee markets cant be fucked to make anything other than AR15s. Swear to god its like the Honda Civic of guns, everyone and their grandma makes them so of course they're made ok enough.

I paid $1100 for my SLR106. Had canted sights and the receiver was canted. Called up Arsenal and they fixed it. Everything is straight now, but I still had to drop $65 on shipping.

Or they are popular because they are a reliable, lightweight, accurate, and endlessly flexible platform with an endless aftermarket of parts to outfit the weapon however you see fit

Not to mention affordable, if you live in Serbia or Zimbabwe maybe you can get an AK for the price of a goat but here in the US a 400 dollar AR will suit you far better than say a 1000 dollar AK which will be heavier and less accurate, but hopefully more reliable if it wasn't assembled by a tard of course

Now if you just don't like ars, you think they are boring, too generic, too common, fair enough everyone had their tastes but to pretend they are as globally successful as they are just because of "legacy" (which isn't all that great) and muh corporations is just stupid

Further, if you don't like cheap pos ars buy good ars unless it's your contention they don't exist.

Sexy bro

im with you op lots of people making excuses for company to keep selling us bullshit

>>34017748
Because the people who buy aks are trying to larp as poorfag commies; It's a feature.

>>34017748
Because installing the front trunnion correctly is too much effort.

>Comparing the well-engineered AR15 to the well-engineered Honda Civic.
>Theyre made OK enough
The way they are designed and the fact that almost every murrikan wants one at some point is why everyone and their grandma fucking makes them.

Any faggot can set up shop making gud AR15 barrels that will drop right in to any milspec upper receiver, but the AK manufacturers worth their fucking salt make complete rifles that are ready to go (cant or not).

>>34021081
From the perspective of someone who works in a shop, something like sight cant on a rifle sold for hundreds or even a thousand+ dollars is fucking unacceptable practice, and warrants that whole building being molotov'd.

You're not wrong. I don't know why the fuck $900+ AK's are allowed in the first place. Makes me more than happy to have a solid WASR.

American consumerism are just stupid

i have never saw any military AK with canted sight

you people just assumed canted sight is an AK thing, but it is not

AK or M4, the military gun might have machine mark or scratched finish, but not canted sight

you can just address the problem and send the gun back, but you said you can't just live with it

good luck with your 1000 bucks bulgaria knock off with canted sight

>>34021776
1776 is a good post number for you. You sound triggered.

I am not the person that upset you, but I will add that I have never seen a canted sight on a kalash.

I have only ever seen Zastavas, Veprs, Valmets, NHM90s and Saigas in my country.

forged trunnion, bolt + bolt carrier and you have a great product

You mean Arsenal don't you?

Vepr's don't have canted sights.

compare a Soviet-made AK or even a pre-ban Norinco with a modern American AK and either of the former rifles will take a massive dump on the Burgergat. "Muh conscript gun" is no excuse for shitty build quality.
