Yes, the H buffer is a heavier buffer and will help increase dwell time on carbine and mid length gas systems (i.e. 99% of civilian ARs). The standard carbine buffer works, but it's sufficiently light that you may get malfunctions with hotter loads. An H buffer will generally have an H stamped on its face where the bolt carrier pushes on it. If you don't have one, it's a pretty simple and highly recommended upgrade that's worth doing. Depending on your gas system and gas port size, you may need an H2 buffer to further tame it, but start with the H buffer.

>>35032302
When I'm out hiking or camping I've always got my BHP with me. If I'm hiking and bring a long gun it's 95% of the time my vz.58 with a folding stock and 10 round mag in the gun and a few stripper clips in my pocket (maybe a loaded 30 round mag or two in my pack if I plan on plinking for a bit but mostly only like 30 or 40 rounds on me on clips) because that rifle in that configuration is really light and handy. If I'm camping and bring a long gun it's whatever I feel like bringing as I don't have to deal with weight as much, but mostly it's still the vz and occasionally my SLR104

>>35032477

As much as I love my AKs, my "oh shit" rifle is an AR. Plentiful spare parts, inexpensive magazines, and ammo commonality are important to me in that scenario. If I have to use it in self defense I'm not going to get asshurt when it sits in an evidence locker. I can order the parts to build another and have the exact same rifle put together in a couple days.

That and rebarreling AKs is a huge pain in the dick.

in the same boat. i appreciate the history as well as the mechanical design (not only of the firearm, but often of the machinery/processes to make them as well)

>>35033100
I don't know why this exists, but I need it.

>>35033107
imho no. It's easier to pop out the rear trunnion and replace it than have to tear everything off an install onto a new receiver.
Things of advice:
I made a template out of wood so that I could trace it with the dremel tool (that way it's hard to fuck up and look like a paki did the work).
It's a little bit of drilling and a hell of a lot of fitting with files if you want it to look nice. Expect to spend a couple of days fitting everything.
I'm sure you know that you need to put a reinforcement plate on the receiver too. You don't have to weld it on (but if you're a ak purist you need to spot weld it on).

It's not a hard job to do, but most smiths rape you in the labor costs since there are square angles (like the front latch) that basically have to be hand filed.

>>35033062
Just buy another parts kit, barrel, etc and have a side folder built.

>>35033079
Doesn't sound crazy. A firearm is a tool and different tools for different jobs. The area you live in should dictate more then personal preference.

>>35033185
Thanks man, that's what I was worried about. Figured there was a reason for builder wanting a new receiver. Since you seem to have some knowledge, do you have a ballpark figure of how much time in hours, it would take someone to do this?

>>35033200
I would, but I dont have the cash at the moment. I got an offer to space it out over 2 months. Besides, the rifle I have is kinda my baby atm, just ordered a nice optic etc, so I'm going to be somewhat irresponsible in terms of allocating costs to it.

>>35033287
It's been about a decade since I did one of these, but I would probably say 10-15 hours of work. It just depends on how well you hand file.

Blue force gear padded vickers. It's actually back on an AR right now since I had it set up too short and didn't feel like fiddling with it. The AUG is just a weird rifle for me to do sling stuff with. I've got about 4 or 5 rifles that need slings so I'll chuck another one on the order and set one up specifically for it.

>>35033255
Also how do you like the extended rail? I want to swap my high rail for one so I can slap a T-2 on there.

>>35033338

If you had the proper tool for an ak build it would probably only take a few hours. Labor wise it is going to take less time.
However, I don't really like removing and reinstalling barrels on aks. As long as you use the same trunnion and barrel your headspace will stay the same. There was one of the big ak builder guys that made pricey but very good replicas of a lot of variants. I'm sure someone knows here knows him, I can't remember. Anyway, he didn't like removing ak barrels at all. He said that removal and reinstall could cause the chamber to deform especially on soft barrels. What he would do is use high quality screws for installing the front trunnion and would tig weld the ends to look like original rivets. He was also one of the few guys who would dimple Saiga magwells back in the day.

Use the cash you have to buy another parts kit, the rear trunnion and stock, barrel first. If it takes a year until you have the money to get the receiver and have it built, so be it. You won't be happy with just one converted rifle.

>>35033389
>>35033430
I really like the extended rail. When I bought it, I kind of had an ACOG or possibly some other magnified optic in mind since I don't have one yet and I know eye relief for them is pretty short. The only problem I've come across is the standard mount for the PRO can get in the way of the charging handle if it's not mounted back far enough. The height is perfect though. I definitely would pick it again given the option

The Limited Edition Snickers Sling was only for that color with the leather tab. Blue Force Gear should still sell the standard one in their usual colors.

Double and single hook two point Russian slings. Bulgarian slings can be meh sometimes. Russian slings best slings, mustard, green, brown, doesn't matter!

Don't bother. Gunshows are shit for AK stuff anymore. Don't go to a gunshow unless you have zero expectations of finding anything and just want to burn some time.

Ignore the people suggesting anything nylon that isn't padded. You can't beat a good quality canvas sling that's adjusted for how you shoot.

>>35033607
I'll take 7. Especially if I can find a way to put one on my ACE 7.62x51. Then I can truly become the biggest asshole on the range.

Ok guys, I am humbly asking what is better in your opinion on either of these 2 safeties,

>>35034625
Don't get the one with the bolt hold cut open. they're cancer and inviting shit to get into the one part of the AK that's fairly susceptible to crap getting into it and causing issues: the FCG

>Last show I bought an Obzor for $250 and 6x flatback chinese 4x poly chrome chinese for $100 for all 10x.
Yeah? Well fuck you Vince. FUCK YOU.

>>35034617
They have threading for ARs etc too, they're much easier to find than the ak threaded ones.

>>35034662
I would just sell the Chinese drums and use the money to buy more Romy drums. If you actually use drums. The Chinese drums are really well made and have a nice finish but to me using them is not worth the opportunity cost of what you could get for them. I've gotten them in trade fodder before and they sell well. No clue what the prices are like for Romy drums, just that they're cheaper than Chinese

>>35034730
Is the Obzor for you or are you going to sell it

>>35034802
>Is the Obzor for you or are you going to sell it
Of course he's going to sell it.

>>35034817

I wish I could find cool gun show finds, nothing is interesting around here except for one fat dude in a motorized wheelchair selling cool surplus but it's all overpriced by absolutely insane numbers. I haven't been to one in a while, I know common inventory is different around the country but in general is AK stuff pretty common? I might need to start going to them again to find cool AK stuff

>>35034730
from my experience that's hard to believe, I never see ANYTHING AK related at gun shows and if it is it's utter shit. The one time I got excited at a gun show was I saw a plum 74 mag. I asked the guy how much for it and he said 70 bucks. fucking triggered me so hard, I just walked away. you're one lucky guy

>>35034865
Nigger you can't complain about not finding stuff at gun shows, all of your Chinese stuff was free.

I have an 87 kit being built right now as a folder. Picked up an extra 74uLLC receiver when I saw it for sale. Really want to get an 88 kit to build as a fixed stock before Rguns runs out. I don't think the prices on the 88 kits will jump like the prices on the other nice Rguns kits but they will definitely get more expensive when the secondhand market is the only way to get one.

>>35035003
If you can afford it there's really no reason to not pick up an 88 kit, in the grand scheme of things $650 isn't that much for a Russian 74 kit

Also I forgot the zigzag you sold me was a meme

>>35035462
Thing is though is that I'm limited to like only two or three gun shows within a two hour drive from me and they're all the same guys with the same booths with the same dumb stuff, like 10% of the time there's actually something interesting and it gets old wasting time and paying an entrance fee to see trash

>>35035427

>>35035204
I was pretty late to the game honestly, it's only been two or three years of being actively interested in AKs. I grew up shooting them but wasn't autistic about it until fairly recently

Had a long period of Mosin Nagant autism tho

>>35035572

You're in good company.

>>35035572
I didn't realize you've only been into AKs for only that long. You've got some nice rifles and accessories for such a short period of time collecting.

>>35035572
Location is key for sure, being in central texas there is some different stuff from show to show but mostly repeats. I go to see if anyone walks in with anything for a cheap price also. Seem a few rifles go for several hundred under what they were worth.

>>35035579
All good man, I am not bothered either way. It was this Arsenal SAS M7, took it out and realized I just don't like under folders. Sweet fucking rifle but not my thing. Side folders and straight stocks are my jam. I like the trading game with rifles, it's fun to see what you can end up getting down the line.

just a natural evolution of milsurp collecting, going from lots of cheaper guns that are more expensive to shoot to fewer more expensive guns that are cheaper to shoot, more fun to shoot, and have an equally if not more interesting history to them

>>35035660
It takes a lot for me to take up collecting something new but when I do and genuinely have an interest in it I generally go as close to all in as I can afford

>>35035668
Being locked in by being on an island makes it harder to get around to potentially cool gun shows, kinda sucks but it is what it is. A lot of gun shows are just luck of finding something cool and/or priced right, and having fewer around just means a smaller chance to get lucky

You sir are 100% correct and sorry for your predicament. More than likely this weekend will be a bust but if you never try you will never have any chance. I also get OCD and take a few laps around to make sure I check every inch and box for stashed AK items. Also once people know you and what you are looking for that can help. I had a lady drive 1,000rnds of .223 to me last night for $160. If people know you are a buyer they will find you after time.

I really want an 88 kit, mainly because it's my birth year. I'd probably get it and it would sit for 8+ years though.

I don't know all of it. He couldn't tell me. But I know there should be one new muzzle brake. So far it looks like some odd and ends released on their Ukrainian website, but nothing substantial. At any rate, have you tried any of their products? You can order from Legion or directly from them.

Oh the yellow stuff, yea. To be honest I hadnt seen any of it even in the times I spent with military guys. You can try google Voentarg Disi and shop their catalog, but I doubt they have it. Though they may be able to get you some if you inquire nicely in Ukrainian.

Here is a pic to prove it really did happen. Independence Day 2017. It was last Friday. They closed down Khreshchatyk Street for vehicles and concerts and sheeeit.

You mean a normal ak-74 brake screwing onto a front sight base?
Or a 14x1 left hand threaded directly onto a barrel like your pic?

>>35039514
If you use an ak74 brake on a gun with a 14x1 thread the bayonet will not be able to reach the lug on the gas block

All of them, I have cancer and am going through chemotherapy. Gonna make it though boys, I'm kicking it's ass rn

I want a 7.62x39 AK with a folding stock so I can get it as compact as possible as a vehicle gun or outdoors gun. The 24mm FSB of the SLR-107fr makes it a little too long for my taste so it's out of the question. Should I go for a side folder or under folder? A side folder would be easier because I can just buy a WASR and add the stock, but under folders are cool too. Which is faster to deploy from folded to extended?

I've already got an SGL-31 but I want something in 7.62x39, otherwise I would just put a folder on my SGL.

That pic is pretty ok still.
At least he's not one of those faggots who cover their entire rifle/stock in a shitty sling, starting from the front sights, through the whole receiver, right down to the sling points. Kindof like the rpk in this pic, except imagine the pic from the other side.

>>35040377
Unless you are dead set on an ak, you should really be eying a vz58 instead IMO. You can whip that gun from folded to ready so damn fast.
And strippers are easier to carry with in small belt pouches or in pockets and speed-load mags super fast.
Most ak folders need to be babied from position to position so it's not all the convenient beyond storage reasons.

>>35040389
Don't want to deal with SBRing it.

>>35040413
I'll look into it, if I can find a cheaper Century from someone not wanting $700+ for one I'd prefer that if I decide on a VZ. I don't need to spend the money on a CSA one if I'm just going to be beating it up

>>35040438
My friend has a century, runs great once you get that slant brake off. That thing threw off the point of aim bigtime. Was pegging 400y steel fairly easily after getting rid of it.

For you

>>35040413
the only reason to fold a stock is if you need to pile extra tight into an APC/deuce with a bunch of sweaty men

the real advantage of the VZ58, among other things, is its smaller profile and standard aluminum mags

>>35040829
watched that exact video before, makes me want a vz58 to this day.
Just cant justify the price of a non-century one

>>35040870
I'm not a believer in "entry/starter" guns. I just see that as wasted money when you should have just saved up for what you really wanted in the first place.
But the century guns were an absolute steal for 400 bucks.

>>35040907
wasn't there a ton of issues with them?
like serious malfunctioning issues

>>35040925
Not that I ever heard of. They were a solid buy.

>>35040925
Early Century vzs had some real problematic issues but that was long before the $400 deal. By the time those were around they were generally ironed out

>>35040958
If you are referring to the trigger "gremlin" then I thought that was an issue on the actual cz rifles too for a while.

>>35041006
Century vzs had the gremlin problem but also just typical shitty Century build problems too. Like I said though that was early on, long before the $400 guns and when Czechpoints/CSAs were a lot cheaper than they are now. The gremlin is an issue on all semi auto vzs, the carrier needs a tab welded on it to prevent the issue. The problem was that CSA/Czechpoint had that very simple solution patented and Century had to make their own workaround for it. People used to send their Century bolt carriers off to get the tab welded but I believe Century ultimately fixed the issue with their guns by redesigning the FCG
