Why are we not demanding American manufacturers to make good AKs? Why do they always make the same old AK? Why don't they make better AKs with features we want? I want a thumb selector, a sealed system, and a recoil mitigation system like in the AK107. Amerishit manufacturers should take advantage of this situation and make AKs great again. Trump sure as shit didn't.

Worst case ontario I have to sit on some ammo that will get shot eventually

>>34316698

Gonna be brutally honest with you.

Because the good companies are putting all their manufacturing capability into ARs. That's where the big bucks are. There are single pieces of ARs that cost more than an entire AK. And they've gotten very good at it due to the competition. An unmodified fucking M&P sport, the lowest end AR from a company that's not even that great can be a sub-MOA shooter. Even the lowest end ARs are at least good firearms, and mechanically sound. You can go as low as paying $400 and STILL get a working gun.

You have one company with a good reputation, Arsenal, and they're not perfect and just putting together parts kits.

So what are you going to do, not buy an AK? Pay all that money for an Arsenal? No? Then pay up, bitch, that's their attitude. Because they think they have no competition, and they're right. And what's worse is if you boycott these companies, they will not improve. They'll just die and the market will dry up completely. Honestly there are only two things that will save the US AK market: Russian imports (nope), or the big US manufacturers getting into making AKs (even less likely, why buy/make tooling just to make less money? tooling that stands no chance of being useful for government contracts, unlike shit for making AR parts?). Otherwise the status quo remains, and the situation continues to deteriorate.

>>34316798

You are in debt or your business is in debt? $100,000 of debt isn't game over for a business with $1M in A/R. It would be weird if the business wasn't in debt. But if that's personal debt and you have unsecured loans generating interest at warp speed then you're fucked.

>>34316893
This. Sadly, Russian AK is of poor quality. There is even a running joke among soldiers, "Every AK is not like the other" which is a reference to the poor manufacturing standards. It's a very crude weapon, to get a job done but not to excel at it. Fuck, it never even meant to carry a scope, so you have to do with some half-assed measures that ultimately make maintenance very uncomfortable.

>>34316970
This is me. I held off in a 104 because I've been wanting an ACOG. Then after I buy it Arsenal annouces their discontinued and it's all down hill from there.

Thankfully I snagged mine last year after seeing what happened to the 107fr, which I bought a few months before they went away.

I think I'll just worry about ammo and mags for now, maybe pick up a nice kit and a Radom barrel, get it built, enjoy shooting my AKs.

>>34316847
Well the AR is a shit design and most people buy it because most people are stupid. I don't care if AKs aren't as cheap as they used to be, the design isn't some perfect design that commands a lot of money. What I want to see made is guns that are closer to that "perfect" standard. Things that take the best of the AR and AK. I would be happy if there were a good, common, modernized AR 18 variant (currently waiting on the MSBS). Old arcane designs from the cold war just don't do it for me anymore. They shouldn't cost as much as manufacturers are asking, and they're asking those prices because you keep buying them, and you keep buying them because you're stupid. This is causing a stagnation of technology.

>>34317055
that's cool, but unrelated to the expanded sanctions (including Molot) announced by the Treasury today

My biggest complaint with the vepr deal is no more factory V12 mags. I have my reasons for not owning any other Vepr firearms but what's been done is bullshit.

>>34316970
Pretty much how I feel. When Trump was elected everyone was celebrating and going "the evil is defeated!" and all I could think was "we're living on borrowed time."

I'm glad I got my 74 build in today. At this point it's pretty much just more mags and ammo I intend to buy for both it and my Maadi, and a 1PN58 when the stars align and I get a deal on one. Everything else is going into NFA items and eventually a SCAR-17S, which was the one gun on my "guns I've always lusted after" list that I had written off on November 6 as "well, guess I'll never own one of those."

>>34317190

>>34317075
>Well the AR is a shit design
Yes, a reliable, accurate rifle is a shit design.

The only thing wrong with the AR is no folding stock, which really is a minor complaint.

>>34317235
Are we worried about ammo ?????

>>34317122
Essentially, bought some in the 2008-2012 crash and rode the equity. Last 6 months have been credit cards and 401k loans etc.

I didn't go to college and don't have any real marketable skills so fuck it I'm learning to remodel these houses. I won't be rich but I'll have a nice house with very low debt when it's all done.

He's right though, Bulgaria is safe from sanctions unless it's an antigun alterior motive because Bulgaria doesn't do anything negative worth getting sanctioned over, plus Bulgaria is part of NATO

Sanctioning Russia makes sense because Russia is the boogeyman, but Bulgaria is innocent

>>34317535

>>34317535
>Bulgaria is part of NATO
Isn't it weird how a country that was once one of the Soviets' closest allies (along with East Germany) is now a member of NATO? How is Bulgaria as a country today anyway?

seeing as though we're losing AK options every week, are PSA AK's acceptable for baby's first AK? the price-point seems good and their AR's aren't total garbage

Thanks Med School. Might as well throw on another $1200 for that rifle and ammo I was holding out for. Drop in the bucket at this point...

Hopefully I become a Psychiatrist so I can just prescribe myself all the drugs to make the pain go away.

>>34316482
Does this mean the VEPR shotguns are banned too? Or are they exempted since they're considered "sporting shotguns"?

>>34317812
Everything Molot makes is banned from import. Saiga 12s didn't make it out from under the KC ban either.

On the flip side, China can still export shotguns. Supposedly there was some Chinese AK shotgun that made it stateside that bears a striking resemblance to current production Saiga 12s.

>>34318955
Depends what you want to do with it if you're worried about availability of ammunition get an AR.

Federal has the capability to make 7 x 39 but it's pretty much just hunting rounds right now.

I honestly couldn't tell you if we had ammunition bans if the domestic manufactures would pick up the slack and even if they did my gut feeling is we be talking 50 Cents a round.

As always buy it cheap and stack it really fucking deep applies.

I have a feeling we're not going to see an outright import ban on ammunition I just don't think the political capital is there but then again anything could happen.

>>34319015
A blanket Russian ammo ban would do more harm to American shooters and everyone who sells ammo than it would to the Russian government. Those factories would just start shipping that overrun to the middle east anyway.

>How have they not been shot yet
Because, despite the memes, blacks, if you compare their homicide rates and other crime rates, are only proportionately shot by police in the same manner. They make up less than half of police shooting victims, while being 13% of the population, and committing half the homicides and over half of the violence crime in this country.

Also, these sanctions wouldn't affect a Russian company opening a factory here and manufacturing everything from the ground up, like what Kalashnikov USA has been trying.

>you'd better believe that the US domestic market will fill the void
They've been trying since 2014 when the sanctions took effect initially (this current batch is just an expansion of those sanctions)
So far the only US company that's even ok is Palmetto State, but even so they're too new to know how they'll hold up long term.

Hey retard, those sanctions are different than the current shit

>>34320764
Guess you need to educate yourself.
The ban is an expansion of EO 13661, that was implemented in 2014.
What's held up in the house is further sanctions, and irrelevant to the current situation.

I would also like to know whether we're concerned about ammo and if I should start panic-buying Brown Bear in bulk.

>>34321522
No, however a Arsenal of Bulgaria and Cugir/Romarm both are periodically focusing on military contracts and not exporting as many, or any, of their commercial products like the SLR's and WASR's, respectively.

>>34321524
I felt the same way. I turned 18 within four months of the 2014 sanctions and it pissed me off, now that they're clamping down on the last of the Russian imports via Molot it's only a matter of time before they clamp down on the ammunition. Honestly, fuck it all. Just get Bulgarian, it's 80% as good.

>>34321559
>Periodically
When did they last being a shipment into the US, and when can we expect another? I've heard 2018 for arsenal, but I don't know a thing about Cugir.

Fuck me

>>34321612
To be fair, you are late to the ammo game too if you want to shoot them a lot.
Especially with 545x39 which used to be only about double the price per shot as 22lr at the lgs.

>>34321612
The golden era was pre-89, the second golden era, in many regards, was right when the AWB sun-set up through about 2012/2013. Pretty much a decade of bliss.

>>34321625
Can you fucking stop with this meme? 5.45 is still as cheap as 7.62x39. Just because you can't find it at your local fuddshop or Cabelas doesn't mean it's not out there. Yeah, we don't have cheap 7n6 anymore but so what? Do you say that, because we haven't been able to import 7.62x39 surplus (minus yugo shit) for like two decades that everyone who buys an AK in 7.62x39 is "late to the ammo game"?

You misunderstood my post obviously. I guess I could have written it better.
I never did buy 545 at my lgs, but the 22lr there was double the price of the 7n6 crates I was buying.
One by one, over the decades, we've all missed out on cheap ammo. But I think we're at the point where "cheap surplus" is a thing of the past entirely.

>>34321848
I bought my first AK, an IZ-240, from a gun show in Charlotte. There was a guy there with an entire pallet of 7n6 crates.

What was weird was that I bought one of the only two 5.45 AKs at the entire show, but the guy had an entire pallet of 5.45. $130 a can, bought two cans, 1976 dated

Get a gym membership where you will have more equipment. Lifting is my favorite way to relieve stress.

Can someone tell me what this is?

>>34324318
Looks like a kit build rpk. Id say a aes-10b, but i looks as if the side rail is missing.

>>34324318
Big wasr

>>34322383
The ptr91 I have is really nice. I'd recommend it as a venture into 7.62x51. Only thing I'd say to replace is maybe the recoil spring and butt pad if your shoulder is skin and bones with no substance in between

>>34324318
>>34324318
Romanian RPK, judging by the adjustable bipod. Either an AES-10B or a kit build.

>>34324417
>>34324422
The guy said it was a kit build.

Any idea on how much it's worth?
I'd probably be trading an AR with knights armament RAS and some mosins for it.
How many mosins is the question.

>>34324432
I wouldn't pay more than $500 for a kit built RPK built by a literally who builder and with no knowledge of its parts, and that's only because I'm confident I'd be able to cut it up and part it out of its a shitty build

>>34324453
As a completely normal person with no ability to make my own, build my own kit, or cut anything up.
What would I probably be looking at?

>>34324475
>As a completely normal person with no ability to ... cut anything up
Buy a dremel

>>34324475
Honestly without knowing who built it or any details other than "it's an RPK" I'd pass on it

>>34324432
ask what barrel he used. This will determine the price. I still would not pay more than 500$.

>>34324490
Thanks.

>>34324496
Aight, I'll report back on the barrel later.

I'm never sure whether to trust /akg/ or not because sometimes price estimates are spot on and sometimes they're lowballing at $500-600 less than every rifle I've seen locally.

Dang ever since the Molot ban we've been burning though threads like crazy

Should I let all this news and panic drag me away from taking a chance and rolling on a used 104fr or should I just get a new 106fr while it is still an option? I know about the expensive mags but that won't be much compared to not having 5.45 ammo being imported. I am conflicted :(

>Russian--made ammo is now banned because of tensions over Ukraine and Syria

What will you do, anon?

>>34324522
Because people try to sell kit rifles from unknown builders for the same price as a known factory offering. They shoot down "lowballs" and it sits on Armslist for 18 months until someone with more money than sense buys it during a panic.

>>34324658
Stop with this meme, Wolf ammo is completely fine.

I'm the giant guy who sometimes posts a pic of himself holding a tiny WASR. How do you think it would work for me? I am used to the recoil of 203gr 54r in a 91/30.

What is the recoil like? My uncle has an AR10B repro that doesn't thump much harder than my WASR.

>>34325230
Not him but I own one. I think it'll work pretty well for you. It's definitely got more recoil but it's not unpleasant. I actually enjoy it more.

>>34318984
good choice on the RS mount & zenitco
