Nice Dong

Picking this thing up Saturday fellas. I’ve heard about Tapco G2Cs having hard hammers and causing issues, will that be a problem with a Saiga?

>>64207874
I was aware of the akstuff “russian standard” parts but I appreciate the link for the bullet guide.
I’m looking at Blackbush Armory or Appalachian Gunworks for the conversion.
I’m assuming I’m going to have to go with pufgun and galil magazines after conversion. I’ve heard mixed reviews on Circle 10 and AC Unity magazines with converted Saigas.

>>64207787

>>64208214
Cool I’ll snag some, I was actually looking at those the other week but was concerned about fit. Who did your conversion? Do you have pics?

>>64208238
ive put hundreds of rounds through those mags and have had no problems. 19Charlie Tactical, he does great work, highly recommend.

>>64208389
Very nice, are you going to snag some of the 45 rounders?
>19Charlie Tactical
Thanks, I’ll check him out.

>>64208395
I plan on picking one up soon, I have high hopes.

>>64208113
I wish I could whip up models in CAD like that. I have so many ideas but I have the retard

>>64208709
I thought that's what the "Computer Aided" in CAD was for. To help the retards who couldn't draw with pencil and paper.
Pirate some software and start learning it. How hard can it be?

>>64209328 I just don't like how Enfusion engine looks. Also still not proper destruction and terrain deformation is gay as shit.

Also WBP = We Build Properly

Been out of the AK game for a few years and it seems everything has changed.

Want to build either an ak-102 or 105 clone and I'm not sure where to start.

Are kits around these days? Is a PSA a good place to start? (what's their quality like these days?)

>>64211947
Your options are pretty slim these days, PSA AKs in 556 are pretty ass

>>64211947
>Is a PSA a good place to start?
no
>(what's their quality like these days?)
barely functional
>kits
aoa or apex, but what you're looking for is pretty much dried up thanks to tarkov kiddies

>>64210949

>>64212021
Am I just gonna be better off buying the parts and having a builder convert a 223 saiga for me?

>>64212133
If you have the money then yes

I love my WBP AKM rifle. Definition of comfy.

>>64212220

PSA and WBP are both wallhanger toy shit. My PSA 5.56 AK102 broke right around 1200 rounds. Still haven't gotten in back from them.
IMO the current move is to have a good builder use 5.56 parts from FB Radom when they're in stock, in particular the bolt, carrier, barrel, and front trunnion, then combine with a Bulgarian rear side folder trunnion as those can still be found, then lastly the only PSA bit you need is their combo front sight base block. The rest you can cobble together with some google work.

It won't be true to the DNA, but it will be quality, it will be a real gun, and it will look the part.

https://palmettostatearmory.com/ak-104-ak-105-combo-block-kit.html

Most of this shit is out of stock right now, which says a lot about the market.

Again, DO NOT buy a PSA or a WBP.

>>64211813
Youre right, it's more fun to play if you play it knowing it's a beta. Crossing fingers Arma 4 irons out the wrinkles.

>>64212338
>it was real in my mind

>>64212338
I can understand cast being bad, but what about billet parts? Some high-end AR receivers are made using billet.

>>64212658
Damn, I’ve been really tempted by their krink line.

>>64212876
Pic related. Billet parts will be better than cast but not as good as forged.
Its worth noting that casting doesn't automatically equate to bad or weak. A lot of the strength depends on the quality of the casting. Forged is still best though.
Ruger casts a ton of their firearms including mini 14/30 receivers. FALs sometimes used cast receivers without issue.

>>64213068
Whoops
>>64212923
Just do it man it's not like you're gonna shoot it out or find a cheaper krink any time soon.

>>64212760

>>64208389
>>64212105
Sorry my mistake somehow I read that as Armory42 in WA. 19Charlie does a lot of custom stuff including for 9 Hole Reviews

Got my type 56 kit in today, now I just need to track down the furniture and get it built.

WBP already confirmed bolts are forged. Trying to push PSAKs as somehow being higher quality is absurd.

>PSA needs to use SWELLNECK RIVETS

this guy is a pure ragecow like Trench Grenade. Why are so many veteran YouTubers like this?

>>64213796
Is this the only platform where the mag market is ratarded?

>>64217049
Not even close. The difference between AK mag fags versus, say, AR or HK or FALs are that there are a gorillion different kinds of AK mag whereas only a few dozen at most of the other aforementioned ones.

I'm still regretting not getting a KP9, there was a time when I was offered one for $600 :(

Are there any dust covers that have an A2 carry handle on them?

>>64217049
>Is this the only platform where the mag market is ratarded?
Laughs in FAL mag prices. The basic bitch ones set you back at least 50 these days.

>>64217573
>tfw sold an inch pattern 30 round .308 Bren magazine for $150
Nothin personnell, kid

>>64217492
Not tgat I'maware of. But you can get a top cover with a pic rail and throw one on that I suppose.

>>64217049
It's not retarded. You could just not buy "collectable" mags that aren't made anymore and buy $12 Bulgarian steel reinforced steel feed lip mags in like 5 different colors and be done with it if you're on a budget

>>64217680
or Bulgarian or Romanian surplus steel mags for $15

>>64217679
>Not tgat I'maware
Fuck...

>>64217694
i think AOA's still got their Polish and Romy mags for 11.99 and 9.99

>>64217707
you are right they do I just checked

>>64217658
>>tfw sold an inch pattern 30 round .308 Bren magazine for $150
Fuck I don't even want to know how much the metric ones are going for these days, and my dumbass bought another FAL this year.

>>64217679
Thought about that, but I was wondering if the added height would mess up the cowitness, if that's even possible in the first palce

>>64217817
Cowitness of what?

>>64217881
Front sight

>>64218061
?? Explain it to me like I'm retarded.
You're going to just have 2 rear sights, yes? So one of them can be zeroed, it would put the other out of zero, right?
Where's the co-witness?
It's not like you'll be able to look through the peep of the A2, down the rear AK sight and even if they were on the same plane both of them somehow are both aiming at the same point.
(Height over bore and distance between the front and rear sights would be different)
>But then again, I'm stupid and it might all work just like that.

>>64214796
Good luck finding chink furniture

Hello. I am new to this and recently purchased my first AK. I chose this gun because Russia seems well aligned with our current left values. Is this board an ally of the Trans Community?

>>64220836

Jokes on you. SSRIs and my new positive self image stopped my eagerness to die. Please be kind. I want to know if a Century Arms WASR with stock furniture and 3 magazines was a good purchase. I got it second hand for $1,250 on a local group.

>>64220823

>so, we put a WASR face in your WASR face

>>64220898

>>64221107
That wasn't a good buy?

>>64220796
Only Ivan has what I need in stock. I've bought a lot from him in the past, but haven't in a couple years.

>>64221272
no it was fine, great job buying a wasr

>>64221272
You can get stock WASRs on gb for $700, dawg.

>>64221332

The WASR has 10/63 on it and the wood does not look as cheap as the current production (I guess).

I am M to F. My dad told me I looked like a lesbian when I was 14 and it stuck I guess. Still attracted to woman but just don't feel like a man.. I am not near the gun and my nail polish is going on 2 weeks so no feet pics for now

>>64221743
Give it up, you're not good at this. Lurk moar.
If you are actually a transmission American, remember that you'll never be a woman. Your headstone will have your birth name on it. When archeologists dig you up in 500 years they'll find a man's skeleton. When you inevitably kill yourself please do not use a gun and contribute to antigun statistics.

>>64221758
Let me guess. Some MAGA will dig my corpse up, see some silicon implants in there and instantly run a DNA test to prove I was assigned Male at birth. Right?

>>64221780
No, they'll observe your bone structure with their eyes and see a man's skeleton.

>>64221838
And what exactly would be accomplished?

>>64221743
Every WASR 10/63 has 10/63, at least it has military parts unlike the WASR 10, hate to break it to you, but you got swindled hard, maybe it had to do with that lesbian look and the seller took advantage of that :(

>>64221852
Not sure about OP, but 500 years from now MAGA would be long gone, maybe the united splits up who knows?

I don't hate you but I hate the people doing it to you. Let this meme be a reminder of what you truly are.

If you aren't actually just trolling, I hope you get better. You are a mentally ill individual in the same way a schizophrenic person is. The difference is their delusions are treated as delusions, *your* delusions are treated as though they're real. That's not fair to you at all; a schizo truly and honestly believes their delusions are real as well but we don't affirm them for obvious reasons. What should be obvious anyway.
If you're an effeminate man that's fine. You're not just a woman and never will be.

How do you guys keep track of your magazines? I was thinking of just making a spreadsheet and then marking the mags with Sharpe, but I'm also too much of a pussy to mark my Bakelites.

>>64222560

>>64222930

Ehh the 1-9 ain't ideal, but it is better than a PSA or WBP.

>>64223617
Akbuilder also sells 1:9 twist 556 barrels.

Can anyone tell me what's going on with the AK in the pic? Polish soldier carrying some type of 74 with no dimples, no bulges, a folding stock, and no RPK rear sight.

>>64221852
You will always be a man. How tf do you feel like a woman but still attracted to women? Wtf do you want to do to women you're attracted to? Because if you say you want to fuck them, then you aren't a woman, retard. Women don't have penises. It just makes you a crossdresser.

If your WASR 10/63 has a magwell that isn't loose and iron sights that aren't canted, then you have basically a civilian PM md 63. That's worth celebrating in of itself fren.

I've got one mag that flat out doesn't work. That's okay. I took the spring and follower out of it to reuse elsewhere. I can still use the mag body as a bottle opener. Probably gonna make a single round "magazine" out of it and put it on my keychain.

What, got a link for that? Are you sure they have 1:7 twist chrome lined 5.56 barrels? I've never seen them carry that. In fact over the past several years the only source for such an AK barrel that I've seen have been the Bulgarian ones from KVAR.

>>64223948

Oh wow I didn't realize that their price of $4500 was decent?
I just picked a MAK-90 Sporter basically in original configuration from them yesterday for... $620 out the door. They're a good local gun shop. Best in Albuquerque NM hands down.
Thanks for the pistol grip link. Shame they don't have a full furniture set available. Do you know what the story is on that website/company and the components? NOS being currently imported? NOS that has just been hanging around for decades? Is that actually PolyTech?
I am gonna snag this also, but maybe a little later:

>>64225694
>Is that actually PolyTech?
As far as I know, yeah. As for it's wares, no idea but that site's been kicking around for awhile.
Honestly you could probably find the grip a little cheaper, I was just poking around because I thought they might actually have a full set. That spiker is what a lot of guys use to deban the few ban era AKs left.
It's not going to be cheap, and the spiker cut HG is probably going to be the most difficult to find.

>>64226255
>Thoughts on cutting up a non-bayonet handguard myself for the bayonet?
Just don't. There's spiker HGs, don't fuck up a non spiker one because you're trying to cheap out. Buy the spiker lower from Poly and if you can get that full non spiker set, then sell off the lower hg to recoup some of the money.

Anyone have experience with the Occam defense adjustable gas block?

>>64224729
Is that a wasr-3?

Are the fags over at r/ak47 just a bunch of goobers who just spout shit without ever shooting one, let alone owning a gun in general? I swear, every post about some AK that isn't Saiga conversion/WBP is just some of the most brain-dead comments I have read, they speak as if they are experienced.

The Beryl barrels are 1-9 too iydk.
>Bulgarian Arsenal Barrel
Those can be a bitch to build around but they are tanks. I guess if you already have one you could go really skunkworks and build up with Bulgarian or Serb bolt parts since those barrels are journal'd to short lug bolts. Look up AKBLUE 5.56 builds and you'll see what I'm talking about. He built them with M85 bolts and trunnions but with Bulgarian front ends. So you could use that barrel to build up an M21 clone starting with an M85 pistol. May as well since Jewstava will never import them apparently despite a fat whore of a gaping hole in the market for mid-size carbines (between 12-14" barrels) the ACE 13" practically has a monopoly on it unless your fine with boring ARs or $5000 gorillion Euro trash with no spare parts (CZ Bren, APC223).
