Anyone got a lead on Magrussians? I think mine got sent to gulag and I need to get some Russkie 5.45 mags cheap.
are ak's kawaii desu?
SDM?
Si.
I'm considering getting one, still a bit afraid of the QC.
Im going to build my first ak off of a Atlantic Romanian diy kit, should I grab an underfolder or a fixed stock for my first ak
Are there even any "long term" reviews of them?
Seems you guys need a "Rob Ski" to do some torture testing.
Get one, what's the worst that can happen? You get an eyepatch and a hook?
>build
You're assembling. Fixed stock is usually recommended over an underfolder for a first AK.
RIP sovietstocks
What happened? I was looking at his site last night.
The worst thing that could happen is me giving money to chinks for a piece of shit.
Early reviews say the finish is good. Wood isn't the best but looks great.
Buy wasr on Atlantic firearm for $700 or keep waiting?
Trust me, your money's eventually going to them anyway.
Might as well get an AK out of it.
How much are they going for? And another readily available AK's price for comparison?
Huh that is weird, maybe he just forgot to pay the host?
600€ for the Type56 clone, 650€ for the AKM clone.
>And another readily available AK's price for comparison?
Cugir are around 900, Arsenal ~1200
Get one from Preppers instead.
And utilize the model #
>600€ for the Type56 clone, 650€ for the AKM clone.
Is the type 56 not an AKM clone? Or is it a Spiker?
My only knowledge of Chinese rifles is based on 30 years ago, so it may seem stupid.
Are the Cugir rifles dimpled? And are the Arsenal's only milled?
Pic related for the difference.
>Are the Cugir rifles dimpled? And are the Arsenal's only milled?
Honestly don't know, never seen any in real life.
I'm currently making my own buttstock from a shovel handle.
I was thinking of wrapping the wood on the handle with leather or something after I stain it and put sealant on it.
I'm open to ideas.
Oh it's the stock comb and angle. That makes sense now.
The wood on that AKM looks almost bakelite-esque. Way too much poly.
>Honestly don't know, never seen any in real life.
Can you not buy firearms online?
I'd worry about getting the cuts right before you worry about finishing it. GL
>There was an Airshit company that made them for a short time, wish I would've grabbed one for shits and giggles.
>I'd worry about getting the cuts right before you worry about finishing it
I took measurements and 3D printed a template. All I have to do is shave off the parts that stick above the cutouts
Cugirs have the dimple.
>I took measurements and 3D printed a template
Nice. I wouldn't even stain it then, personally. Just preserve it and stabilize those splits.
Looks good as old grey wood. Get a nice worn leather sling.
Is that a single stack? or just a low cap mag?
>stabilize those splits
how would I do that?
With wood filler?
A single 10 rounds mag with the Cugir yes. At least the chinks send three 30 rounds mags with their rifles.
Wood glue and clamps or epoxy. There's plenty of info, videos, and products out there.
I'd probably go with a clear epoxy to show off the cracks, and then clear coat it and buff it down to a satin finish with 0000 steel wool.
I'm just spitballing so take it with a grain of salt.
Hell you could just rub shellac on with a sock until its pretty. Worked for BT.
Ok, but will the Cugir accept 30 round mags?
And you get 3 30s with the SDM? That seems on par with how their rifles were sold here long ago.
>As someone who's biased with an older Chinese rifle, I say get the SDM. It's probably rougher around the edges, but I bet its still good. Oh and get the Type 56, the Chinese have to still know how to make those, right?
>Not the ribbed aluminum
>or the green translucent
Get your shit together man
Same. Waiting patiently for them to be in stock again.
wanna buy mine
Needs a rare ruski leather sling badly.
Be sure to comb GunBroker and Armslist so you don't miss out on a good deal.
Borther!
Are you a swissnigger?
>boomer
>build
God I hate ARtards with a passion
The rear sling loop was actually ripped off at some point so I can’t attach a sling
>AK47s
>has wooden stock
wha?
Iirc that's the new chinkshit under the SDM name
How do i add wear to my WASR AKMN?
By using it
was digging through my ak box and found the first handguard I bought back in 2015, thought I'd throw it on for shits'n'gigs. Not the most uncomfortable thing ever but man is it ugly, no clue what I was thinking.
Get some genocide wood on that Zastava.
Treat it like it was designed to be treated. Go shooting and hiking. Maybe a drop test or two.
>WASR AKMN
wdhmbt
Fuuuuccckkkkk that wear gives me a motoboner. I need to shoot mine waaayyyy more.
Shoot it, carry it, etc. You'd be surprised how quickly that sexy look sets in if you just take it places with you. Just practice a bunch, even if it's just messing around with it in your apartment. Assuming you don't have land to do the other stuff as much.
It's artificial
Dry fire practice and fingerfucking it for a month straight, empty mag reloads with steel magazines, flip the safety until the muscle memory develops, field strip and reassemble on the clock, do all of those ninja tricks in those Russian AK handling videos.
All of the handing, the scratches from bungled reloads and safety switching and the small wearing in dings from reassembling too fast will give you a nice amount of use patina typical of most AKs in conscript service. The bonus is that you learn to become good at handling and maintaining your AK.
can confirm apartment operating is a blast just watch out for your fucking cat getting under your feet when you're in full kit
Thanks for the info
I'll look into getting epoxy. I think the cracks look cool
I've never used shellac before. How does it feel? I'd like to keep it somewhat smooth. Also does it come off if rubbed?
>Build
>Rifle is already built for you
???
Only the receiver is artificial, the rest of the kit is the same as it was the day I got it. Obviously on a rewelded receiver it’s impossible to preserve a finish.
>only the receiver is artificial
If you're REALLY set on wearing it down without using it, literally drag it through a hike in the sand dunes or on the beach or something. Anywhere sandy.
yep that's what I said good job
Whats the best parts kit? I have access to a lot of tools that id need so im not worried about that part of the cost. Also is their guide to the compatible recievers or special parts i need? or for a beginner is it just worth buying a new built rifle? Id will to spend a grand give or take total.
Will cum make my ak rust?
well the wasr is an akmn, no?
its got the rail to mount pso-1s and everything
type 3 you'll need a welder
Romanian kits are plentiful and fairly cheap. There are Russian kits out there as well as Maadi and East German, but on the off chance you fuck them up I'd say get those rarer/more unique kits built by a shop until you're competent at building kits. There are some tutorials on YouTube that go way in depth. Flandre is a guy that does great tutorials on YouTube. Evidently he shows up in /akg/ from time to time as well. And if building seems too involved for a first rifle, browse GunBroker/Armslist/pawn shops for a deal on a WASR or RH-10 or a good deal on a higher end rifle like an Arsenal or a Vepr/Saiga if you don't mind spending a few more dollars.
>Get some genocide wood
Guess what kinda wood it is?
Reposting VEPR-12 with RPK furniture I refurbished.
Tarkov or bait?
Where can I get a side folding ak with the button in the reciever? Are the only ones left second hand?
What is the point of .300 AAC Blackout when 7.53x39mm is more plentiful and cheaper and has more existing guns that shoot it?
>7.53x39
Ohhh fuckka youuuuuu!
>replying to bait
>.300 AAC
Options.
You didnt even specify which type of .300 AAC
Why do I want a Maadi so badly?
because all your AKs lack dimples and you're on the verge of trashing them all and starting your collection over?
>nailed it
I never played Tarkov
I just was taught during my years as a conscript
AKM with dovetail = AKMN
Anyone have experience with the NPZ PO-1?
I don't know why I like this
I love Afghankas so much.
Dimples are only acceptable on the small of a woman’s back above her buttocks
very nice ;)
Lovely features
For anyone interested, Apex has Romy side folding Button style stocks in stock right now for $100 with the screws.
get that bullshit the fuck on outta here nigga
WTF Jow Forums, buying a PSAK-47 Gen3 is my will and you question it? Why shouldn't I buy this right now?
The blondest Balkan Wars takeoffs of all time?
Mine (and most you see) are usually dark brown or auburn if you get lucky. Yours don't look right if we're being honest, family.
Dimples are fucking gay and you know it
You gave your AK mega aids
Do you prefer your AKs with or without T H E S L A N T?
i prefer without
depends on the model, I am autistic and all of the weird variants I own I try to keep in as close to milspec issue as possible.
I love the slant
Do the holes in the gas piston exterior matter? Some AKs have holes there and others don't have holes
i prefer it without the slant if its a donger ak or an AKMS, but i only prefer it on AKMS' if the gun has bumpless grips
holes are older designs (or chinese) newer ones have the excess gas ported out of little holes at the end of the gas block where the gas tube meets
Personally I think they're ugly and they're also not very functional
I get it if you're trying to do a clone rifle but they're literally only better than a bare muzzle
