Any gunsmiths online? My AK-74 jams about every 15 rounds or so. Even with really nice Bakelite mags it still jams.
Got a few few stove pipes, casings getting jammed up behind the trunion...

I noticed some weak ejections ~50% of the time, where it only throws the brass about 1-4 feet away from the rifle. Otherwise it flings the brass out maybe 8-10 feet.

I'm thinking of hiring a gunsmith to look at it and fix it but one guy quoted me at $50 an hour + 20$ "range time" to diagnose the issue. The rifle only cost $550 so I might as well sell it I guess? Thoughts?

I've got more photos if that helps.

Retard. 74's don't take brass cased ammo, steel case only.
>>

>sporadic ejection
Try a new extractor, if that dosen't work you'll have to look at your gas system.

Well, there you go.

Fuck I didn't save any of the brass.

Pic of chamber instead

>>34315897
Red circle is your ding, its digging into your brass and causing hangups. Get that shit smooth or better off put a tiny bevel on it.

Blue circle is where your brass is swelling up and getting stuck in the chamber. Use steel ammo

waffenworks is american assembled crap. he could do all this shit to make it function but it wont be worth it.
waffen works initially made acceptable guns got their reputation up then enough to be recommended. then immediately dropped standards and sold garbage until they went out of business.

So you're sayin cut my losses, cancel the appointment with the gunsmith, and sell the damn thing, right? Fuck me.
>>
Fill the barrel with water. ram a wad of wet paper towels tightly into the muzzle, stick in a deep freeze for a day, the ice will drive the shell out. (I've done this with stuck bullets).
You may have to repeat. This also removes carbon....
>>
>>34316063
Dont take it to a fucking gunsmith. They are worse than car salesmen. Just put a new extractor on it, if that doesnt work put a new barrel on it.

Check the specs on your gas port and the gas vents.

>>34316063
ya, do yourself a favor and sell it. Once done, invest in a arsenal

>>34316119
Well I already have a VEPR, but fuck my ass I didnt know it wouldn't take regular AK mags so now I need to modify the VEPR to accept AK-74 mags, lel.

You didn't buy this from a shop in Tucker Georgia did you? I sold a WW to a shop there that did this same thing. Sometimes it would even eject the cases inside the receiver.
>>
>>34316152
No I bought it new, but ours must have been from the same lot becaus emine does the same thing. How much did you get the shop to pay you for it?
>>
>>34316164
$200

Am I the only fag here that got a waffen werks 74 that wasn't total shit?
I mean I did get it well before their QC went down the shitter, but still? What the fuck guise?
>>
>>34316175
Fuuuuuck me
>>
>>34316176
No they were good, everyone was giving them rave reviews my cousin has one that's great. I just got mine at the exact wrong time right when the QC went to shit and before the reports thereof were reported. At first I thought it'd work itself out then WW went under and I wrote it off as a loss. Then found out DDI was honoring warranties and actually making them good again but found out after the warranty was done. That's when I just sold it got an ar and never looked back.

>>34316260
Oh okay, well cool, I guess it's a bit of a rarity then. Neat.
>tfw I've had my 74 for almost a decade and it still feels like yesterday cracking my first can of 7n6
