>AK Buyer's Guide
what ak should I buy?
I got my PGO-7 on my AK74. Problem turned out to be the dust cover was getting in the way of a screw on the side of the optic that prevented it from mounting to the rail.
Damn. I really wanted it to work properly too
vepr-km
In
Got it on. Had to remove the cover for what I think is the on/off switch. I don’t mind, since this doesn’t actually have the switch or battery installed.
How do you like the beryl stock.?
me too
Airshit or demilled? Thinking about getting a full metal airshit GP-25 for aesthetically pleasing purposes.
It's really nice. I tried crafting a ghetto cheek riser for it but I honestly like it with just the shrink wrap. Haven't shot with it yet - I'm curious to see if the rubber recoil pad makes a big difference.
metal airsoft
What kind of underfolder?
There’s something beautiful about this
the lack of telescoping spring or telescoping spring housing on AK variants has always bothered me endlessly. I realize many factors to include dust induced friction play into that, but still. AUTISM AHOY.
The smell is always satisfying getting a new case
>they really do look nice though, how did you go about refinishing them. With yugo wood I generally just try to get the cosmo out, steam out dents, and hit it with BLO.
They weren't your typical super-dark Balkan Wars handguards or anything. They came looking more like the virgin blonde wood you see on OPAPs and M92s, except with pretty ugly surface wear/decay.
I just sanded down to blonde wood and started hitting it with BLO, nothing special.
Out of all the variants out there, which is the most unique out there?
Lots to choose from in the proto world.
i agree, ammo shipments are the best!
Can someone help me out with which AK to buy? Price doesn't really matter as long as the gun is actually worth what it's selling for, I just want something with good enough tolerances to not bother me that will last longer than me.
Ideally I would like the gun to be as standard as possible so I have furniture options and no wierd bullshit going on.
Are milled receivers worth it or just heavy memes?
Post more feet
I agree. And the guy with the Galil needs to post more bussy.
Milled receivers are memes and new Arsenal imports are all fucked up. Someone on the files even posted a SAM7 ejector breaking apart.
You're probably best off buying a wasr if it has to be new. Otherwise troll files marketplace.
Should go authentic polish and use a potato
How are WASR tolerances? Is there any wobbly shit that's going to bother me or is it going to feel solid?
Solid
>tolerances
Yes I understand, but you just do it with the trunnion as a template. Drill undersize for the latch areas with the trunnion in place and open it up slowly with a dremel and file set.
except for possible mag wobble
I am going to fuck this up
At least I won't be out a lot of cash
Unless the wobble is janky as fuck, there’s really no reason to be worried about mag wobble on a 7.62 AK. I’ve seen more problems with the magwell being too tight to properly seat the magazine or overzealous riveting on the inside of the magwell causing squished magazines. 5.45/5.56 AKs, on the other hand, need to be pretty tight in there due to the round being much smaller
What rivets on the inside of the magwel?
You understand that you're looking at buying a weapon that is known for its loose tolerances right?
The one right in front of the magwell dimple. You know what a rivet looks like, right?
My cousin's Arsenal has that stock and I have that on my Vepr-12... definitely needs a cheek riser.
Brace came in, still waiting on the drum mag. Please pardon the mess.
where’s the mess user? the backpack in front of the seat?
Yes. Never had a stamped receiver ak until I start building this one. I guess I didn't think you could fuck up that trunion rivet that bad
Post Afghan War aesthetic
Hey there little Orange buddies
2 things, adding the brace made my pistol grip a little wobbly. Just a hair. And the break made the weapon to long to fit in my gym bag, so now I'm gonna have to get a goddamn range bag.
heres my gat
The spray painted windows mostly.
Took some new pics of raifu
>seeing these reignites my desire for a braced M92
>Going rate is ~$600 now
Fuck me. 2 years ago they were $450...
ANYWAY, what's the absolute closest I can get to Krink form and function without paying the government? AKA do they make side-folding brace mounts and what brace looks most like a triangle stock?
Looking at a 74 parts kit where some of the parts have remnants of the barrel in them. Can I just lube them up and push the barrel out, assuming i have removed anything that retains the part to the barrel. For reference the following parts have remains front sight, gas block, rear sight assembly, and barrel trunnion.
Happens more often than you think. Crooked trunions are the most common major faults in AKs.
How much is an unconverted 23" Saiga .308? LGS has one for $500 and that seems like a really good price.
What is the most STALKER thing in life?
It's either the brace, the paddle, or the free man's way. Your call.
I paid 650 for mine plus 126 for the brace. They sent me a 100 dollar coupon for a wine company which was nice. Gonna be picking up two cases of wild Irish rose hopefully soon.
I would buy
Should I just get another dong set even though that shit doesnt work with pmags well? rifledynamics.com
To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their golddigger women who thought their sugardaddy was going to bring some rare artifacts back home.
What's the average price of the cheapest Basic Bitch AK?
Used to be $550, but thats changed recently. How destitue are you?
what if I like the vepr-fm better?
No shit, but there's a difference between internal tolerances and the stock not fitting the rest of the gun because it's a mm off.
Underfolders are for commies
All of theses rifles are for commies. Where do you think you are?
>How destitue are you?
I'm good, there's a guy at a range I visit and he always has a new model when we run into one another there. Usually a SVD style and a couple AK's in tow.
Figured I'd ask here than be rude about it there, some people bitch about those questions.
I can’t stand fudds. Cheap as fuck low ballers.
then get one?
Get an SLR-104UR with a pinned and welded fake suppressor
Where'd you get it and is it safe to have attached while shooting?
You're looking at this the wrong way. It doesn't matter what AK you buy. Usually everything fits at first but if you want to change anything it may not fit exactly right because so much stuff has been made by so many different countries. I have Bulgarian, Russian, and polish parts on my rifle.
Some things turn into little projects which I love. I had to mold epoxy around my handguard to keep it from wiggling. I had to mill out the hole in the bottom of my grip to fit my screw etc.
it's just Dboys GP25.
yeah, why wouldn't it be?
I feel like it would get in the way with mag changes.
>Same length and size as a full-size AK.
I feel like you've misunderstood what I want, friendo...
You want to break the law but your afraid too and hoping someone will talk you into it.
Just be a man and do it. There might be consequences, but being a man is understanding that and living by them.
Unless you travel with it like that you'll be fine. Just take it apart for travel. Local cops aren't gonna give a shit about that.
>you want to break the law
>pistol braces
>illegal
Pick one brainlet.
What ammo should I get? Is steel case acceptable for my WASR?
What stuff should I look out for when buying a WASR? I'm gunna try and find a place where I can pick my own from a lot in person, but what kinds of flaws am I looking for?
I tried to do this and went to almost every gun store in my county. Try keeping a straight face when some fat asshole tries to sell you an IO or gets angry when you tell them wasrs aren't worth 1100 dollars.
Just order it from Atlantic and be done with it.
yes
There's gotta be at least one guy in Georgia who I can go to, right? I'm willing to drive basically any distance to get the perfect WASR
If you're going to buy it from a brick and mortar store you won't get a cheaper price than Atlantic - which are quality checked.
The truth is: wasrs manufactured after 2015 are all gtg. The only issues some people have are magazine wells that are too tight but that's an easy fix.
This is all assuming you want to buy new. Otherwise find a deal on akfiles.
Days like this I'm very grateful to have an lgs that understands that online sellers are competitors. If they can beat the price of the gun+shipping, they'll do that rather than the $25 that FFLs around here charge.
>out of stock
Guess you’re not getting it.
Yikes. I got mine for 650 with the brace last summer.
What's with the wine coupons anyways? I got a hundred dollar giftcard with my PSOP-1 scope ($399)
Kick-backs for promotional items. Scratch my back I'll scratch yours stuff.
Yo does anyone know of a good foregrip/flashlight combo that's compatible with the AK mag curve? I want it all one unit. I'm just gonna screw a small Weaver rail section to the wood instead of replacing the entire setup.
Yeah and they'll be worth 2500 in a year as a preban. I wasn't worried about it.
>100 dollar coupon for a wine company
I bought a $12 bottle of hoppes and got one of those
>Pasting from my qotd thread post
Why is the arsenal poly furniture so shit? Like holy fuck, $900 bucks and the stock is ass. My fudd dad was just disgust at it. What AK stock has good cheek weld?
BUY MY SHIT REEEEEEE
Best mag source?
Buy my SLR-106FR.
Two years ago. Lol.
Two questions:
>Should I go with a Tapco AK-74 style or the Strela Wolf Fang 14x1L AK-74 style brake from Legion for my Vepr 54r?
And
>Should I drill and tap my own screw-in bullet guide for my Vepr 5.45 or is riveted really that much better?
tapco 74 brake doesnt have the correct expansion chamber and its just a peice of metal. tap and die for bullet guides

Krink Ultimak rail for $82 shipped. Good deal if anyone is looking.
