5.56 vs 5.45 for an AK in 2018?
id say 5.56 to future proof yourself. get an SLR 106 before they dry up or get an SAR 3. I think they might import more 106s in 2019 tho

I have a 2015 wasr. For backup parts should I buy a new firing pin/extractor/ect for the bolt or just a whole other backup bolt?
If I was you I’d just buy parts kits then you have a bunch of backup parts
In for
This is pretty nice

Someone in the last thread mentioned they had a SADF battle jacket. If you see this I'd like your thoughts on it if you don't mind.
Thinking about buying and converting a .223 VEPR, is a 20” barrel too long for HD/general use? I want the extra velocity but not sure how much of a maneuverability loss there is
Shooting down a long hallway? Doesn't matter. Cutting the pie/moving quickly into rooms? Less length is an advantage but isn't strictly necessary especially if you took the time to train with it. Knowing where the best places to position yourself are ahead of time matters much more than barrel length.
I would personally rather the shorter barrel if I only suspected to use it inside a house but that's just my opinion, man.
>not using an SBR and having the fireball burn/blind your enemy regardless of shot placement
HD would only be a secondary concern, but still important to me since I don’t currently have a semi auto rifle. Primary use would be camping/hog hunting rifle
I think you should go a bit bigger senpai.
>not using a flamethrower to burn your whole house down out of pure righteous rage over normies infiltrating your safe space.
Then I'd go with with the 20in and train around the slight disadvantage. Unless your domicile is unusually small (mine is) it shouldn't be an issue once you get used to it.
These still in stock anywhere?
Honestly haven’t thought about 6.5G, might consider it. Mostly wanted .223 for ammo availability so idk though
I'm pretty sure K-Var has 'em in stock.
Wolf 6.5 can be found for ~.30¢ a round online.
Atlantic has them, if I didn’t have another gun on layaway I’d put it in as well
>74M never
I feel you.
I regret getting an SLR-107 solely because of that optic.
>my ak will never be that aesthetic
Why live?
AKS 74 kit, solid top cover and a 1p29 tulip?
not unobtanium.
I'm a poorfag and I can't afford another expensive rifle.
Aint no party like a saiga party cuz a saiga party dont stop....until the sanctions...
Muh humble, unbubba'd, sgl
Anyone know a good way to get a bolt refinished id like to have the original bolt carrier back?
Serious question here. Would you buy a rifle like that if you weren't allowed to cut the barrel shorter?
Yeah.
Huh?
Bolts arent universal. They are headspaced to the barrel.
Not a bad idea
keep us up to date on it. These have been intriguing me
Some bolts are interchangeable between countries of origin, i think an user was using a polish bolt on a romy rifle last month, but definitely not all.
Underfolders are for commies
WASRs are stupid expensive now and honestly I'm thinking it might be better to shell out for one of Atlantic's WBP builds since Maadis seem few and far between and almost all the SAR-1s I see haven't been debanned.
What does /akg/ think of the NAK-9?
Theyre still headspaced to the barrel when the rifle is built.
You cant just take any polish bolt and but it in any polish rifle. It may work if they happen to be close enough but it could equally KB your gun if theyre not close enough.
I'm buying an old wasr 10/63 underfolder soon, where is the best place to look for a set of older wooden hand guards for it? (particularly dong grips) I'm new to AK's so I'm not really sure of what sites to check out. Also interested in picking up a bakelite mag.
Apex, rtg parts, desert fox sales.
Why? What up with it? Will it work on Vepr?
has it right.
For the mag, I'd say probably the files unless anyone else knows somewhere better.
5.45 if you can find one. True to form AK74 is worthy of a spot in your collection you'll just want to stockpile ammo for it
Gotcha, thank you for the help! I guess I'll check out the files, but keep my fingers crossed that the dude with the bucket of bakelites will be at the next gun show I go to. I nearly picked up a couple, even without having an AK for them, until I saw they were 45 bucks.
Of course it will, just the cam pins on it are not for 7.62x39.
I want to say around $30 is an acceptable deal, but I haven't bought any in a while.
Does it seem to anyone else that they're rarer on the files than they were a year ago?
Definitely more rare these days, and retards are paying 60-75 each for 7.62 bakes. I'm so glad I got mine at ~30
What type of AK is this?
>bolt doesn't look like it closes all the way
I can't stand this.
A piece of shit one.
An 03 nice c39v2 with tons of extras
Milled shit
kek
Is that the Khyber Customs light mount?
I don't like it.

Don't lie
Clips >>> no clips
Hey, gents. Having odd issue. Have SLR-104. Shooting. Gone through about 300 rounds. Last round in a mag. Bolt does not close all the way. Look at bullet. Rim seems like it was slightly damaged (was not like that when loading). Like a small part of the rim was cut off and pressed down. Throw bullet away.
Take SLR out to shoot a few days later. Go through another 300 rounds. Get to last round in different mag. Same issue. Bolt doesn’t close. Round looks damaged on rim. Try to recreate the issue. Can’t.
What’s happening here? Happened in different mags with different ammo types (Barnaul and GT). So it must be the gun. Anyone know what this is? Thanks in advance.
Should make a ripped off by Russian edition next.
Is $300 for a used rakurs w/ diopter a good deal? What does the diopter do?
>middle piece of receiver is missing
What?
demilled reciever
Wut
>rs regulate
Nice
Good news faggets!
Ty
Shit posting on a toilet during lunch break is not fun at all. Yea thanks boss for feeding us pizza from the local Indian deli. Fuck
I'm a poorfag student as well. I just saved and had it built. AKS is honestly my favorite rifle, absolutely worth it. 5.45 is so fucking comfy.
Shame I'm poor and broke.
forgot pic.
MI Mlok hand guard with zenitco pistol grip, or surplus polish hand guard set with a bakelite pistol grip. (This is going onto an underfolder)
I can't decide which route to take because I'm autistic, someone please help me make a decision.
Are PSAKs garbage? Would they be a decent alternative to a WASR?
Yes and no
Probably the best US made AK but they still shit
No. Avoid. If it has "made in USA" as a calling card do not buy it if you value your money. Just save for something that isn't literally a physical hazard to you
I don't like to clamp things onto my barrel, so I'd go with the Polish wood furniture. Although I don't rely like the look of them, I got the magpul MOE handguard set so I could have a light on my AK. But you do your own thing.
Yes they are junk, get a wasr. Or save up and get a slr-107r.
yes garbage. not a decent alternative. get wasr
The local gun store has them for like $430, I'll ask how many they have in stock
Looks nice, bulgy kit? what barrel and receiver? I'm looking to do one my self, maybe with a russian kit I've had my eyes on.l
Get the polish set/bake grip as it will weigh less.
Bulgy kit, Bulgy orig virgin barrel. Childers receiver.
Explain
Any reason to not go with a romanian dong grip set instead?
I sell you something, it never arrives, I ask for more money, it never arrives.
Seems like the average seller on amazon
Should I buy a Sam 5 or slr 106?
No, no it doesn't.
Are you serious? Can they ship?
another literally who trip with a retarded quip
was this an infamous Russia scam? Recent?
can i put a kalinka optic on an slr 107r?
It was practically the price of wolf 223 back in december. Low 20's per round IIRC.
does it have a scope rail? if yes, then yes
The slr107r is suspect as well. Not junk mind you but a Wasr is better due to wear.
Now a 107fr or 107cr or etc.
Well that guy seems like a fag, and amazon sellers seem to enjoy sending me empty boxes
I'll check with them, they don't have a website so I don't think they will
True they did have a bad batch. Are they still having problems with the 107R?
Unfortunately they don't ship
Honestly I think it's in a certain serial number range last I checked on the Files.
no thats fine too
