Arfag wants to get into AKs

Century AKs are pure ass cancer. Get a WASR, an SLR, an NPAP, or a Vepr.

Any good deals on any that you know of? And how much are mags usually?

jesus, all black plastic magpul CA... sounds disgusting. Listen to the post above me, and also that rifle is fucking hideous looking for an AK.

>>34220905
This. Get a WASR it if you want to get something better an SLR 107-11(?).

>>34220932
Is magpul furniture bad for AKs?

>>34220891
>budget ak
wasr or zastava m70/m77
>nice ak
arsenal, vepr, saiga

>>34220960
that sums it up perfectly
>>34220955
not that its bad for it, just in my eyes it doesn't look right on the rifle. Guess its my opinion, but it's a popular one. Get a WASR, it's a better rifle and can probably find one cheaper then $650. mags and ammo are everywhere and are cheap as shit, don't worry about those.

I suggest a VEPR
Welcome new AK friend
Continental breakfast of blini, kolbasa, and vodka is available from noon to 4pm

Its funny how the market has changed. I remember when people talked shit about WASRs, American made AKs must be absolute garbage

>>34221005
They're pretty shit, some of them are alright but its just so much better to go foreign. If you want an interesting AK, try finding a parts kit with barrel installed and just rivet it on a good receiver.

>>34221005
The issue with American AKs has always been economies of scale. Combloc governments ate all the R&D and plant building overhead so now countries can turn out good AKs for cheap. US companies have to start from scratch, which means high unit costs or shit quality. Nobody wants to pay $1500 for an AK or order 10,000 US made AKs at once so the problem stands.

>>34221021
So you would recommend assembly of a AK over buying one?

>>34221096
Nah, alot easier just to buy one... but it can be fun to assemble one.

>>34220891
There is nothing more disgusting to me than magpul furniture on an AK.

save up and buy an arsenal

>>34221127
This, I only have wood if it has wood.

>>34220960
How much do nicer AKs go for?

>>34221221
Go check out the Molot vepr fm. Best AK pattern rifle being imported currently IMO. Retails for $999, but you won't regret spending the extra money

>>34221530
They're fine if you never want to change the furniture (they only take RPK furniture) and don't mind the barrel being 14.5mm threaded instead of 22 or whatever the proper 74 pattern is.

>>34220891
C39v2 from century is good. I own one, it's great. ALL the reviews are great too.

Asshats like this >>34220905 are cancer. Even their own guide in the am general thread talks about some century imports being okay. Personally I would not buy any riveted ak that wasn't from arsenal or a custom shop. Riveted ak's need to be built right and checked. The c39v2 is a milled gun and it's great.

>>34222130
>$0.05 has been deposited in your account
Some Century imports are OK, like the WASR. It seems that you're implying the C39 is imported, which it's not. Stop giving the guy bad information and trying to justify your shitty purchase. OP, just get a WASR

No it isn't.

The C39 is not imported, and thus shit.

>>34222130
For what most shooters do with their rifles the C39v2 would be a fine rifle. However I wouldn't ever recommend someone ever buy one unless it's sub $500 and in good shape when one can buy a WASR for the same MSRP as a C39v2.

650 is overpaying for an AK.

Different anon but what are all my options if I want to do a Krinkov type build? I don't know much about AKs, but I'd like to add a proper AK and a little AK to my collection at some point.

>>34221808
Ive seen veprs outfitted with regular ak pattern furniture. You're wrong. Just the other day some guy sent me pics of a vepr with an archangel opsfor ak stock.

I'm looking at getting a Gen2 PSA AK, AKOU seemed to say they were fine. Rob Ski's video where he spergs out over every inane detail has him saying it's a good AK, figured I'd give it a whirl.

The problem with centuries is that the trunnions break with heavy use. C39v2 has no trunnion part to break. The headspace thing just doesn't happen and there is overwhelming evidence against the validity of what is clearly juvenile parroting of the rote learning from you wannabes.

Oh, and those Caniks with century slapped on their sides are also good guns. Deal with it.

This was my AR pistol before I upgraded to the AK. It was also repeatedly called junk despite never once having a single issue.

No matter which company or model you decide to get HANDLE AND INSPECT THE GUN FIRST! AKs from even reputable manufacturers can have problems like a canted front sight post or less likely a shoddy attachment of the stock to the receiver. Normally neither of those are huge problems but a really badly canted front sight could have issues with zeroing.

>>34224011
Bushmaster and DPMS AR's are also notorious for that.

>>34223672
What is a good price for an AK then? I'm leaning towards a WASR now.

>>34224001
>>34224006
>my guns never fucked up and there isn't a single mark on them therefore they're fine
What if he wants to be a bit harsher on his guns than that anon?

And you did a fine job insulting people without actually providing any context or information. Estimated rounds through them, failures, cleaning etc

I just want to point out, usually when someone says they've shot thousands of rounds without a stoppage they are just making it up.

You could not have picked a worse time to get into AKs.

>>34224006

Well if that's how you want to take it. All I did was ask how many rounds were through it, how the rifle was treated and how often it was cleaned.

If just by mentioning that people who claim to have thousands of rounds without issue are usually making it up triggered you I'm sorry.

The C39v2 is a great rifle, don't listen to the naysayers. I have yet to see anyone substantiate the claim that these rifles are shit.
Have around 4k through mine, have yet to have a single misfire, and the only FTF was a result of the shitty Pmag that came with the gun.

>>34223747
Seriously?

File: IMG_0806.jpg (156KB, 720x564px)

156KB, 720x564px

C39V2 has a cast bolt and carrier just like the RAS47. It also has a proprietary optic rail for no good reason.

It's a shit rifle that needs a surplus bolt and carrier installed to be remotely decent. There is zero reason to recommend it over the similarly priced WASR or SLR-107R.

I'd rather not worry about my pot metal bolt deforming and losing headspace after a few thousand rounds.

>>34220891
Fuck the haters. I've seen some of that model, and all of them were smooth and slick, and definitely seemed to be built well. Also, that's literally the only furniture on an AK I've ever found comfortable as well.

The ONLY reason I won't get one is the lack of bayonet lug.

The finish is going to be polished away on any contact areas, it happens to every gun.
No peening, the metal isn't deformed. 4k rounds through this rifle and I see no need to replace the bolt anytime soon.

>>34225573
>C39V2 has a cast bolt and carrier just like the RAS47
I don't know why so many people overlook this shit. The C39v2 shares as many components with the RAS as it can, and that should be reason enough to avoid it.

>>34225754
>No peening, the metal isn't deformed.
Are you blind?

>>34225637

Wow fuck off that shit is hideous and feels like you're holding plastic run-off.

>>34225770
The finish is worn off, are you blind?
No sharp edges, polished contact areas.
Wanna know how i know you dont shoot at all?

>>34225573
>but much memes
I can show you fifty pictures of exploded Glocks. They must be totally unreliable and dangerous guise.

>>34226056
The difference is that glocks nowadays do not explode except from user/reloader error.

Whereas if you grab any brand new RAS or c39 from the shelf and examine the metallurgy of the bolt, it would be clear that they are absolute shit.

Why do you think that Century had to artificially increase the price of their imported rifles? Because their locally made rifle-shaped-objects cannot compete.

>>34226160
The also discontinued the RAS47 because there were so many problems.

>>34226166
>discontinued the RAS47
Never mind. I just checked and they brought it back.

>>34226160
Ah, the opinion of an educated Metallurgist.

This guys is an idiot. Worst case scenario, after thousands and thousands of rounds the only thing you MIGHT need to replace is the bolt. 100$.

>>34226208
>after thousands of rounds you just buy a new bolt
>dont check the headspacing
>explodes in your face
Wanna know how I know you don't know what I know, which is that I know you're shit? you know?

>>34226221
I own the gun in question. Thousands of rounds fired, zero headspacing issues.

Kindly kys before your bullshit causes a noob to actually buy one of these deforming deathtraps.

Buying Century only enables them to make more of this trash, and to price their imports higher.

Then you must have gotten a unicorn C308, or you're trying to justify your purchase.

Century has a shitty rep for a reason. They put out shit products.

Please stop. Please stop and just leave dude. I don't know your experiences but I can guarantee you're hinding something from this.

I'm thinking your definition of a 'range trip' is shooting 100 rounds over the course of 5 hours and having a few beers with your buddies. In that case yes the cv is a fine rifle. For a fucking do-nothing chuckle-fuck.

>>34226670
I'll second this. An Arsenal is definitely better than a WASR, but you could make a good argument that for most shooters, the WASR is a better value.

Bruh I can see the metal peening and folding on itself on your locking lug. Pic related a russian bolt after 7-10k rounds

Note how the areas of wear are completely different? almost like yours was based off an out-of-spec clone?... A clone of a clone if you will.

Somewhere around 7k-10k rounds out of a russian ak that I treat like shit, barely oil and have subjected to some pretty harsh shit.

Your rifle is aging and wearing 3x as fast as mine.

>>34225794
You are blind, how the shit do you not see the peening happening on the edges?

>>34220905
Century makes wasrs

>>34226884
Century imports WASRs. Cugir in Romania does the heavy lifting.

>>34226884
Cugir does everything with the WASR that you wouldn't want Century doing, like actually assembling the critical components (eg. barrel, trunnions) and manufacturing the gun itself.

>>34226904
So century wasrs are ok?

>>34226904
>>34226920
so who is to blame for them being shit from 1996-2008? You don't have to actually answer that just be aware that people are trying to sell their shit QC wasrs as new productions in this market.

>>34226978
No one has ever or will ever say that Cugir wasn't to blame for the shitty state WASRs were received as back then, are you high? The point is that now they'll assemble and make a better AK than Century ever could.

>>34227020
fucking please anon can you not read, I was simply stating that there are people seling their shit quality production wasrs on a the public market and if you're looking for a nice wasr to not purchase those. I dont know where the fuck you got the rest of that from, sorry for triggering you.
