>AK Buyer's Guide

pastebin.com/YdEkhdva

How’d I do on my Maadi purchase? $575 at an auction today. Didn’t come with the 30 rounder though, I just put it in there for show.

was $575 the total or is that before the buyer's premium?

>5.56

Attached: 5.56bois.jpg (1200x1600, 228K)

Total. Oh there’s was a 4.5 percent tax so I guess it was around $600.

Whoops, thread timed out.

I thought I heard that those Yugo M70B1s weren’t done by Century, but the receiver and barrel were done by a third party, and the rest are Yugo parts. Can any Anons confirm? There’s one at my LGS, but NO WAY IN HELL I’m touching it if Century has monkeyed with it. Or should I just look at that Legion AKM if I want a good AKM within 1500 bucks?

No, because Century doesn't divulge that kind of info.
There's speculation that either Wiselite or Velocity Firearms built their AB2s but I'm not sure if the B1s were outsourced as well (I'm sure they were, but I don't have any info to back that up)

>Some autistic faggot boomer is going to ruin the double fire mechanism with some bullshit patent

Dang. So stay away from the B1s, then? I figured it’d be nice to save a few hundred on one and get a Mak too. But I suppose I should just buy up and get that Legion if I can afford it, eh?

Attached: IMG_2106.jpg (1534x1152, 551K)

I'd say they're fine, but I can't back that up with any info. If you look up the stuff from a few years ago when the AB2s were still readily available you'll see they were very well received. I'd hazard a guess that the same company built the B1s, but they didn't seem as popular at the time.
So as long as everything is straight on it, and the price is good for you, go for it.

6 months till I can get my Draco but my nerves are on edge because what if they ban shit.
>badfeelsman.jpg

So 7.62 vs 5.45. Which is more chill and relaxing to shoot and why?

7.62 because it's easier and cheaper to require, if you are tryint to fulfill relaxing and you aren't a little pussy who can't handle the tiny bit of recoil

Attached: Snapchat-219132992.jpg (2560x1440, 773K)

Dissipator, the last AR I had was a 605 clone I built--it was cool up until I shot it, but it just didn't do anything for me after that. Sold it to a vet that had a 605 when he was in and used the money to buy more ak kits. The only AR i'd be interested in now is a 601 and/or a m16a2, but they'd probably wouldn't get used often.

It's settled 7.62 it is. That's what everyone recommends, plus I went to Academy tonight, and they had a SHIT TON of 7.62, and not a single box of 5.45. Sexy raifu btw. ;)

Wouldn't worry about a ban while, Dems don't have the power right now.

What optic is that?

>Wouldn't worry about a ban while, Dems don't have the power right now.
Holy shit, I butchered that sentence.

Anyone with a WASR have an aftermarket safety lever? I would like one with an extended tab, maybe even a notch for the bolt hold open. If you have one, which one is it?

5.45 is significantly less recoil and more on par with your run-of-the-mill AR-15, but 7.62x39 is always cheaper.

Forsure man, you are only as good as often as you shoot. 1k rounds for $220ish, yes please.

Primary arms 3x akog prism scope on an rs regulate mount, I like it

Will be very surprised if it happens, considering the ATF has religiously BTFO'd people making the exact same deal, sometimes arguably more refined

Lucky trips, maybe I'll walk into something good at work

I don't want to sound like a shill but I got my A1 kit from whatacountry. From what little information I could dig up, my kit's dated somewhere between '67 and '70. A lower receiver, barrel and mags and you're good to go.

I'm also biased towards a dissipator, so thinking I'll go with one. While a 10.5" just sounds deliciously short and lightweight, I won't need anything too fancy. At the same time I'd like it to be a good bit updated in terms of trigger/bcg. Thanks for the input.

>Retro AR
I know this is /akg/ but I've been thinking about making a classic one too. I wouldn't go Vietnam, though. I'd like to do an A1 rifle with A2 furniture, like my Dad's rifle was when he was NG. It's just too bad he can't remember the buttstock number.

He's never really played up his time, but I always thought it was cool as fuck. He was on the brink of deployment into the gulf war and his unit had just finished chemical weapons training the day before it ended.

Thanks /AKG/ for being here for me. Bought a ak at 18 in 2013 because MD banned them. Can only get 5.56 or 5.45 aks now. Haven’t got any of either cause was poorfag and then collegefag. Now I want those goddamned legion USA saigas so fucking bad it hurts and I can’t get one because of the ban and I shouldn’t get anything else cause saving to move from MD to Arizona (wanna do it in about 9-12 months).
At least I can see you guy’s aks until then, and pray by the time I move I can still get that ak. I pray none of you ever had to or have to experience this hell. I feel like I’m being gutted with rage I can’t get it, and stress it’ll be gone by the time I can.

someone hit me with the quick rundown on how 7n6 got banned

niggers

This could just be pure fuddlore, but my understanding is
>AP pistol ammo is illegal
>companies bring in 5.45 AK pistols
>some dumbasses start referencing to 7n6 as AP ammo
>while this would be legal still as rifle ammunition, since there's 5.45 pistols, it's now considered pistol ammunition, which isn't legal for import
or something like that. Basically what this dude said. If it wasn't for BS """""pistol""""" configuration rifle import laws and for dumbass fudds marketing 7n6 as AP ammo, and then the ATF's shit interpretation on everything, then it'd be fine.

I want one of these so bad, anyone have any idea what it would cost to gold plate?

Unironically this

That's pretty close.
>ATF recieves "request" from Customs to test 7n6 for AP capability for unknown reasons
>ATF, of course, determines it AP regardless of core composition
>Base the ban on it being a "pistol AP" round even though the pistol they based the determination on (the Polish Kbk wz/89S Fabryka Bronie Onyx) was NEVER available commercially.

Here's a better take on the 89 Onyx shit

Unfortunately, never.
You're probably too young to remember the steel core 7.62x39 ban and how the owner of Olympic Arms (an AR manufacturer) basically said "Oh well" when they released the OA-93 even though they were repeatedly warned it would cause a ban on, the then plentiful, chinese steel core ammo.
It's garbage protectionism at it's finest, and arbitrary as well.

Attached: OIFVTXDVJM.jpg (550x312, 56K)

I have heard about Olympic Arms and the OA-93 but never about this. Pretty sad tbfh. At least as times move on more states are passing carry rights. Seems it's the only good thing going on in the firearms community.
Was just chatting up a local pawn shop owner today how it's a little disappointing that the way things are now, we'll never get Russian or Chinese handguns or rifles en masse imported ever again.

>Don't worry about a ban, Dems don't have the power right now.
Yeah, because you know Reps have never passed gun control acts
> AWB, bump fire stock, 1986.

The more you read into the 7n6 ban, the more pissed off you'll get. That Onyx was allegedly submitted in 2011, and it took until 2014 to ban 7n6 "because" of it? Come on. I know the ATF is slow, but they were quick as fuck on the Chinese steel core ban. Hell they were talking about it when Oly-Arms was just advertising the OA-93 in Shotgun News, before it was even available.
We go through this every hundred threads or so, but I still try to inform those who ask about it, because it is horseshit and ARfags don't care because their steel core ammo has an exception clause carved out.

you really don't know shit do you kid?

>Dems don't have the power right now.

I don't know what to say about this other than that I love it.

sure comrade just post address and Yuri send.

Now that really activates my almonds.

Fellow MD fag here

You could buy a draco or vz58. I have both. They aren't a great substitute but its better than nothing.

And so far the kit I got is holding up, but any failure's going to be on my part. The upper receiver I got was pretty fucking beat up, but a thorough washing and it looks good again.

Thanks, my dude.

I fucking love abominations.

Hence why I've been taking pictures of both when I can. No sense in being completely off-topic, but I don't belong in /arg/ and never will. The build sounds doable and fun, though, so.

I dunno about you but I think Vz.58's are pretty fucking great for looking like the AKM's inbred step-brother. And pretty damn light for being milled. The 5.56 Vz's look fucking sexy SBR'd.

>203 heat shield

My penis man

That is pretty much the version I heard, other than that someone submitted a request to the ATF to approve an "AK pistol" in 5.45mm, which they refused to approve, and then banned the ammo as "handgun ammo" anyway.

Which is bullshit, because the law specifies that "AP ammo" has to be larger than .22 caliber, and 5.45x39mm bullets are .220-.221" in diameter, with a .214" bore diameter, so they're actually ".21 caliber" by the common meaning of the term, which is based on bore diameter. ".22 caliber" bullets start at .224" in diameter and go up to .227" for the old .22 Savage Hi-Power centerfire round from the 1920s. This is your daily reminder, by the way, that if there was ever a time that the ATF just enforced the law instead of making shit up as they went along, it is long past. I could go on about this, and the difference between power ("kneel or we will kill you, peasant") and authority ("we act to enforce the social contract, and we legitimately follow the publicly available written rules your elected representatives set for us, so we are requesting your cooperation"), but that would be Jow Forums, not Jow Forums.

If someone were to do the same thing with an "AK pistol" in 7.62x54R, all the cheap milsurp nugget food disappears the same way, because 90% or more of it is steel-core.

Wrap it in paracord. If the added height of a layer of paracord is not sufficient, put some kind of spacer--maybe a length of plastic tubing of an appropriate diameter--atop the stock before wrapping. You can also always add additional layers of paracord.

Quite a few PSL pistols have been sold

Attached: pptl.jpg (1023x764, 138K)

Not sure paracord would be enough. PSO scopes sit pretty high. Jamming a bit rubber under it then wrapping it might work tho.

I'm experiencing that hell right now. Grew up in CT, went to school in Boston, but I'll be moving to NH at the end of the month. Spent $400 on mags and had them shipped to a friend out of state.

The ATF seems to have an aversion to anything fairly modern and cheap enough to reach the masses that isn't NATO. Bigthink.jpg

>PSL
Out of curiosity, I was browsing the lineup of KNS adjustable gas Pistons this morning and I saw that they offer one for the PSL. I really wanted one a couple years ago but I turned away from it after I learned they were prone to beating themselves to death. Would a tunable gas piston help keep them alive? If so I'm interested in one again. I love me some 54R.
