do people actually use those giant ass mags?

I have one of those NPAPs, haven't changed the honest-to-god awful furniture on it yet. Suggestions for accessories?

>>34431376
Is the price of 5.45 rising?
It doesn't seem like it to me, in fact it feels like it's dropping; but a few people at the gun show today were saying otherwise.

>>34431383
>people
No, but niggas do.

>>34431389
every retard is spouting that it's the end of the world for 5.45 and has been for years. don't listen to them. Everyone freaked out over the 7n6 ban and you can still buy the shit off the first google search in crates.

>>34431386
RS Regulate 307 mount, and your choice of upper mount and optic to fit said upper mount.
>It'll make the "boat oar" have a much more comfortable cheek weld.

>>34431389
5,45, like all ammo, has been dropping since the election.

>>34431420
>>34431397
I get that surplus used to be 10 cents per round.
But as a latecomer 20 cents per round for commercial doesn't seem ridiculous.

Is that jump what they're still freaking out about?

>>34431424
I guess, but even 7.62 costs that much or MAYBE just MAYBE a tiny bit cheaper, but not enough to make me want to shoot it more then 5.45. They're delusional old men, don't listen to them. You'll have more fun with the 5.45 then the 7.62

>>34431424
>TFW missed the 7n6 period because I wasn't 18 yet

Probably. Gun shows aren't known to be reliable sources of information.

>>34431437
god damn, i'm 19 and still wish I could travel back in time to tell my parents to buy the shit out of it.

>>34431397
If anything, fewer people will be getting into 5.45 since there are literally zero 74s available unless you buy used.

I'm going to start buying the fuck out of GT and mags. Fuck spending money on other calibers and rifles right now.

>>34431448
>turned 18 3 months ago
>missed the cheap Mosins

Don't even get me started on the rest.

>>34431455
s-save some for me anon, i'm trying my best to save up my shekels

>>34431462
no kidding, every time I buy a surplus rifle like a mosin the first thing I here is 'back in my day' telling me about how they could buy them for nothing. It hurts deep down.

>>34431472
Century is going to start importing GT. There's going to be plenty of it everywhere once that happens.

>>34431486
Same. At least we're in the golden age of cheap ARs.

Now I'm 20 and have all of the mosin nagants (8 of them) and 7.62x54r I'll ever need.

Should've been an internet addicted gun-nut 9 year old, desu familia.

>>34431495
>Century is going to start importing GT
don't bully me, whats GT stand for?
>>34431496
that's true, although I literally have no interest in ARs they're the best bang for your buck right now and have an incredible after market.

>>34431496
>cheap ARs

I can't express how not excited I am about being able to buy cheap ARs. The only ones I want are LMT or KAC and those are still fucking expensive.

>>34431520
Golden Tiger

>>34431520
>whats GT stand for

Golden Tiger

>>34431511
yeah you're right, but I really only had interest in guns until recently. I came from a noguns family so never got experience with them to find out if I like them.

>>34431531
>>34431537
Oh wow, that was obvious. should've thought about it a little harder. thanks.

>>34431538
I didn't buy my first firearm until I was 23 or 24. I wasted so much money on shit I don't even care about anymore, it kind of hurts to think about how much I missed out on after turning 18.

>>34431550
that's the one thing that I like about firearms as well. When you spend money on it it doesn't just disappear, still have the thing of value which doesn't really ever lose value more then likely will gain value.

>>34431564
>more then likely will gain value
If by this you mean it will lose 20% of it's value right after you buy it. (Unless you mean milsurp.)

>>34431610
i've actually never bought a new unfired gun before, so didn't think about that side of it.

Good or bad deal on the price?
I haven't been paying attention to mag prices.

Dude, Legion was selling plums for $26 each a while ago. You can find them on forums for even cheaper than that.

>>34431647
I thought overseas prices on mags would be cheaper.
:(

How2affordability?

>>34431655
If by overseas you mean Eastern Europe/Russia, then yes. Germany is quite rich.

>>34431655
the only way people buy oversea mags are straight from russia, and that shit can take forever to get. you're better off doing it the easy way and finding some here.

>>34431630
>>34431634
Not great prices, but if you can reliably get them that's something to consider. I'd buy 45rd bakes at $74 if the supply was constant, even though that's $10-$15 over what they go for on the files. Beats having to sit around waiting for someone to offload theirs.

>>34431390

>>34431669
>>34431670
Met one dude that said a lot of Russian websites sell stuff as "airsoft parts" but I can't seem to find any of those.

I wanna do a full conversion to a saiga .223, how difficult is it?

The only thing I might skip out on is the magwell change, because I heard the SGM saiga .223 mags aren't that bad.

>>34431671
>>34431670
>>34431669
So basically there's no way to gain anything AK wise out of my friend being in Germany.

>>34431695
You might be able to get some neat East German surplus slings and shit. Otherwise, no.

>>34431695
can't think of anything, you're better off buying stuff that's already here imo. maybe someone thats actually bought from eastern europe can tell you otherwise though.

I seriously hope Legion brings back the beater plums eventually. I got this absolute gem of a trench art'd plum out of a box of them. I'd gladly gamble on $26 plums for more cool shit like this than pay $35 or whatever for NOS plums like the ones AIM has.

>>34431671
>$74
Most 45 round Molot bakes I see are going for like $45-50. $74 is ribbed plum RPK mag territory.

>>34431747
wow that for $26? thats sweet.

>>34431747
Same, I also got some nice plums from Legion. Beats shady forums deals any day.

>>34431747

Any of y'all have any experience with having thing laser engraved on your AKs?

I'm considering getting an Arabic prayer for defense against enemies etched into the receiver of my beater WASR.

Can I use a bore snake like the one in the link for both .223/5,56 and 5,45?

They're less common these days but they pop up occasionally. I've got a couple, but I'm really looking for a plum ribbed one and then I think I'll be largely done buying 74 mags for a while.

Yeah, I've actually seen more of the ribbed blacks up lately. I'll probably just put up a WTB for 8 of them and see what I get. I don't really need NOS stuff since it's all going to be used anyway, I'm not a collector.

I've got two of them that I built back when they were expensive when I turned 18 post-Obama election and they do literally nothing for me. One is disassembled waiting for all the separate parts to sell because all together it's worth maybe $600 and that's because of the RIS II on it. The other one is my home defense rifle and sits in the corner. ARs are fucking boring.

Photobucket is such a pain in the ass, they already redirect you to their website when I just want to see a page with nothing but the image, and then make you jump through hoops before you can save it as an actual jpg and not their weird "jpg original" file. Imgur's layout is annoying but it's simple and free for when you want to embed images.

Photobucket falling apart at the seams is pretty much exactly why I bought the Kalashnikov Encyclopedia. Photobucket has already removed or broken the links to so many production variant comparison photos that large parts of AKForum's stickies are now completely unusable.

I think I'm going to finish my Scorpion Evo SBR first. Once that's done I'll have a few minor tweaks I'll still want to make to my AR, then I'll be without a project gun for once in my life. Even then, I'll probably just tap out, buy an Arsenal, and pay someone to cut the barrel and drill out the regulator rather than go through all the footwork of piecing together a Tula kit build. Form 1 waits make things bad enough as it is; the last thing I'd want to do is add a 74U LLC receiver + builder lead time on top of that.

Thanks, I'll head over tomorrow to the local gunshop and place the order, it seems to have a good rep online and even torture tests on Youtube proves the quality.

Hey guys, I ordered some shit from circle10 AK, how long do they usually take? On their website it says theres a one to two week backlog on orders which seems fucking retarded, plus I remember people saying in the past that they've had issues with circle10 AK not shipping shit, on regular time, for upwards of a month. All I want is muh extra nubby selector lever and my Polish firing pin to see if the firing pill will help unfuck my Maadi's tendency to rape the shit out of primers.

So I'm not really likeing how thin and smooth the pistol grip on the ak I built is.
What's a good grip that's bigger and has better traction.

>>34435770
Magpul's grips are pretty much the only decent piece of furniture they put out for the AK. There's also the US Palm grip, assuming you can find one anymore. Tapco makes a SAW-style grip too.

Surplus-wise, Poland made "fat" bakelite grips and you can still get NOS Russian laminate grips, but they'll be somewhat similarly sized to what you have now.

So does anyone do 3 gun here? Never heard anything on it on these generals. I wanna do it but it is making me rethink buying a 106fr instead of a 104fr. I'd swallow the $50 magazine pill if I needed.

>>34437630
1985

>>34437654
Thanks buddy.

>>34437638
>106fr
why cant you do it with the 104? rifle is fine

>>34437692
5.56x45 has more ammunition types available?

>>34437719
your point?

>>34437719
You're better off picking the most available bullet weight and shooting that exclusively.

Modern 3 gun places more of a focus on shotgun manipulation anyway. Spend money and time on that instead of buying an AK in 5.56 imo.

>>34437737
It's possibly important for 3 gun? I don't know, man, I don't do that shit.

>>34437737
Do you know much about 3 gun? From what I've read the reasoning is tied to 7n6, same reason some ranges are picky about steel cased ammo cuz magnets, and it seems like just a general lack of knowledge of the caliber amongst even gun owners.

>>34437755
Ok I can dig that as long as I can use 104fr rifle and regular steel case. I am sure I know the answer but I'm being willfully blind about accepting it but magnets can pick up steel case GT, Brown Bear, etc, right? Even if the projectile itself doesn't attract the magnet?

>>34437772
they aren't picky about steel cased 'cuz magnets', the real reason is they don't want to pick up useless steel when they go to scrounge up the brass. The magnet test is to find out if the bullet is steel core which can really wear on the ranges back plating over time. So they do it to save money from maintenance on the range, and make money by being able to pick up brass and not steel. Do you know much about anything?

Yeah, I guess that is the only option at this point but I'm fairly sure I know the answer.

>>34437867
>>34437630
Why do you always call them dimples?

>>34437906
Because typing dimples or dimpled barrel components is easier and faster than typing press fit or press fitted barrel components

>>34437895
In reality what you're shooting won't hurt anything,it just has a mild steel core. But good luck telling that to some asshole that'll stick a magnet to it and say can't you use this shit at my range without letting you explain it won't damage anything.

>>34437862
Fuck, I read 1985 and was hoping that was wrong. Gonna have to sit out on the 58-2 and wait for a correct 1PN34. :c

If you don't mind paying a bit more per shot, look at Hornadys 5.45x39. It doesn't stick to magnets so they'll let you use it.

>>34438003
Are those helmets of yours original or those "replica" ones on eBay? I'm assuming original because I mean you're Zasta but I'm curious

In reality going to competitions you won't be shooting a huge amount, you can always plink for fun with the cheap stuff then use the Hornady for the competitions. I don't know if that'd throw off your aim switching it up though. Either way buying an entire new rifle in 5.56 would be more expensive then just shooting some higher quality stuff. Plus you'd look like the badass there that's not shooting 5.56

>>34438186
This is slightly off topic but are there any single shot rifle competitions? After I buy this 104fr kinda been flirting with the idea of a Remington rolling block. If only I could find one in 7.62x54r. Also using Hornady for competition and steel for practice sounds good as long as I can find a range to use steel.

>>34438182
Is there a way to tell how to determine what is real and what is fake on eBay? I want a simple 6B47 but don't want to get ripped and sent a fake replica

>>34438244
>single shot rifle competitions
Yes, but who knows if it's in your area or not. And outdoor ranges will let you use whatever you want usually.

>>34438166
childersguns receivers still have a bluing on them from the saltwater brine they quench them in, after which a light coat of oil/grease/cosmoline-alternative

I wonder what alloy they are heat treating that isn't water quench?

>>34438166
My receiver I sent with my 1969 kit had my fingerprints all over it in the form of rust. Little rust prints. I don't really care.

But that sounds a little weird. Are you the one who was saying you had problems with your stuff rusting even if it was in the safe? That sounds a little weird. My remaining ones are in my safe just fine. I have no rust problems with anything in my safe. You need to get that worked out.

It happens pretty much everywhere on any unfinished or blued metal. The bolt carrier on my Type 56 and the handguards and bipod on my FAL get it the worst. Touching obviously makes it more prone so I try to either not touch or oil it soon after but it shouldn't be happening like this

No sweaty hands either. I'm thinking it might be because it's summer in an already humid state but still, it didn't happen in my smaller old safe and doesn't happen when I leave the guns out of the safe for an extended period of time, just when they're in it.

It has one example of each type of rifle and multiple photos of the same rifle for the type of rifle it's describing. All these are the same 1988 rifle, 8 pages of pics for this one

At least for the countries I've really looked over

You guys ever get into autistic mag dumping competitions with random people on the range.

Some guy was mag dumping a 9mm pistol and shortly after literally everyone was mag dumping.
I had to bust out the 54r Vepr to one up everyone.

Shit like this makes me paranoid about the unfinished area under my optic rail. I'll probably end up hosing that area with Barricade once every couple of months or so just to be safe.

Awesome will call my buddy in US Customs and tell him to flag packages from Germany, specifically airsoft products. He works out of JFK which get's most international shipments but he can send out alert to other major airport hubs.

Why would I do this? I'm jealous. BTW, I have family in Germany, and you can purchase really full auto rifle receivers(like for an AK) there no problem, but I'm not dumb enough to risk my freedom.

>>34439459
Mfw I got a 1968 kit because the lower year

The Fleur De Lis has always been a popular symbol in Bosnia and many other parts of Europe.

But specific to the mags, during the Bosnian war, Bosniaks running a shortage of Yugo mags from the Serbia aligned arsenals produce their own mags, in small numbers. Teh mag as you see with the FDL with a single rib and another version that looks the same except for no FDL.

Very aesthetic, and collectible.

Anyone have experience with the Romanian Barreled Receivers from Atlantic? Was considering that for my first AK build.

just dropped $160 on 2 mags

help

>>34439662
I think they use us barrels. If it's a barreled receiver it's truly not an ak build

>>34439662
Just buy a WASR.

Stop falling for the build meme. It's not as easy as an AR and you'll spend more on tools then the rifle.

>>34439672
What kind? and $160 for 2 mags not a big deal

>>34439683
If you get the barreled receiver you will only need a screwdriver. Everything has been riveted etc..

Jew York here so I'm not spending 800 dollars on a Wasr when I can spend 600 dollars on a Barreled Receiver, 50 on furniture, and as >>34439711 said, 5 bucks on a screwdriver.

The Polish barreled receivers are better. The barrels are Polish on those too. Check local gun sites too, sometimes you find decent deals. There's a guy near me selling a SAM7 for $630 right now.

>>34439721
fucking where

>>34432521

Golden tiger has taken a shit recently.

I dont know what the fuck happened, but I'm spotting 10-20 failures to fire in every lot. 7.62x39 had quite a few (starting around 2014), and 223 isnt shaping up much better.

Is it possible that the sealant is fucking up the primers? I'm getting *SOLID* deep primer hits. Its not some limp wristed faggotry impacts.

>>34439736
Totally unsure how that's bait but yay you got to use your neat recently downloaded overused meme. Lurk moar my guy.
>>34439738
Think it's worth the extra 200? Are the polish barrels really that much better?

>>34439721
2 molot plums for $160. Not bad if nos condition

It's not just the barrel (which is significantly better), polish parts are higher quality than romanian

>>34439770
You've sold me, Polish parts kit it is.

Is it one of those groups that kicks you out if you have a dummy profile? Normiebook is horrible, but those groups manage to take something abysmal and make it even worse. Like akfiles but 20x more retarded since there's essentially no moderation.

He's the biggest fucking autism. Better him than those racist fucking white trash niggers.

Everyone seems to suck that worthless white filth "TheGreek, who has NEVER been to Greece, mind you" and that fucking dirty Indian, I forget his name, from one of the Dakotas. Beacuse they all suck the dick of the fat fuck mod Ianmor.

>>34439927

Do you take autism medication? You need to up it.

>>34439956
I think the guy literally has no fucking life outside of that board. I recall that he got banned, like for reelz this time, and was so fucking suicidal, that Ianmor had to make a plee to the board owner to let him back in. Now, if anyone starts shit with Greek, who is a complete and utter cunt to everyone, Greek will flag teh post and/or PM Ianmor, and Ianmor will ban said poster before he triggers the Greek into being himself, which will ultimately get him banned again. I stopped posted or even checking the site after that.

If you post outside of "I'll take it", you're already doing it wrong.
