I found this cursed Draco for sale. It has the extended handguard from magpul. How much of a hassle is it to get a handguard retainer re installed? What handguards could I use in place of the one on it now?

Is 1400 dollars a good deal for this Bulgarian ak-74 with 250 rounds of 7n6?

I’m about to purchase this guy for about $800. Is it a deal?? Let me know. I’m being told it’s a Russian AAM.

How hard would it be to repaint this to black? Could I just use spray paint?

Just picked up this M70AB2 kit built from a local gun store. Pretty stoked to finally own an AK. What is the general consensus on Yugos anyway?

Used to have black wood furniture but I put all of this on it and I’m happy with it, I still want to mount a dovetail rail and put an eotech on her but she’s mint the iron sights are just fine

You guys seemed to like my 1st appartmet conversion of the 103. Here is my second one. SAIGA .223 to an AK-101. I feel a little better about this one and did a more traditional izhmash plum set on it.

Picked this up for $700, how’d I do? Armco imported AK47s, all original #’s. Was filthy but I used nylon brushes to clean it up.

How much are MAADI Misr S/A AKM’s CAI import going for?

Does anyone have a recommendation on where to find the muzzle brake? I have looked at Gunbroker, but no replacement parts were listed.

Hello all. Sorry first off I'll just ask y'all please give a guy a break I'm from the AR side of the hall and don't really know a ton about AK style rifles past shooting and tweaking a wasr 10 a lil , but I've been getting more and more into learning about them since ....well AR's are getting a lil boring to me . So been listening and watching some stuff from guys like Jim fuller , m26 lemon grenade, klayco ect. And been finding it all pretty interesting . But other then that I'm and some old documentries ,pretty damn ignorant to AK's

Anyhow I just have a few lil questions outta curiosity and thought this might be a good place to ask and hopefully not get roasted too bad 🤣

1. Why can't America seem to make half decent AK ? Like I grew up being told and hearing about how simple they where to build , stuff like " yeah they build them in bike shops and caves in Afghanistan there so easy !" But seems with all our manufacturing capabilities we just cant make a decent one.. or even just parts / kits.. Well at least a mass production deal , not the custom ones .Why is that ?only thing I can kinda figure out people just keep trying to cut costs and not do stuff right like heat treating and rivets and stuff . Is there some other reason or ?

2. So I know there's aren't technically AK's but also .... And kinda the same question as the first,Why no Americans produced SVD / PSL's ? Seems with all the nerd love for the things and how people go kinda crazy anytime theres a change to get some id figure someone would have tired to make them but seems they only ever try to get imports . I know they wouldn't be as popular as other stuff but with the amount of weird off shit a lot of there companies make ..

3. Are there like any full armour tool kits a guy could get if they wanted to build their own AK's ? I know with AR's you can just buy a full armours kit in one go but seems for AK's you gotta kinda piece everything together. I mean I get having to buy the presses and stuff separate but all the jobs and stuff . And what's like the cost for a beginner AK builder should be looking at to tool up ? Already have a welder and a lot of other metal working tools so ... $1500 maybe ?

Anyhow I'd appreciate any answers or hell just some links to some reading or listening

Edit , sorry I JUST found a older post about building AK's with a tool and parts list but seems most of the links to stuff 404 😅 so have a better idea but still

Hello, does the WBP Jack 7.62x39 still come with a chrome-lined barrel, or have they switched to nitrided barrels? Also, what are the advantages of a nitrided barrel compared to a chrome-lined barrel (barrel life in thousands of rounds)?

Neki kažu da WBP Jack nije vojno dokazana puška i stoga joj se ne može toliko vjerovati u stvarnoj situaciji života i smrti. S druge strane, Zastava M70 je široko dokazana u borbi, osobito ovdje na Balkanu, gdje je velika većina pušaka korištenih tijekom ratova bila M70 bez kromiranog oblaganja.

Zastava G PAP M70 košta oko 1.125 €, dok WBP Jack košta oko 1.304 €.

Što mislite, što bi bio bolji izbor za nekoga tko nema puno novca i želi pušku koja će trajati godinama bez skupih zamjena ili nadogradnji?

I’m thinking about converting my Wasr-10 from a single stack to double stack and don’t know a whole lot about aks. To me this looks like a double stack bolt, but want to make sure before I move ahead with anything

I know this is a small thing but I finally picked up my first actual Bakelite mag. Tula. From Atlantic Firearms since they had some in stock. Great condition!

traded my mini draco (last pic) to a sam7r, plan on running a side mount optic and finding some furniture for her

I picked this up for $500 from a fella at my gun club. Said it has about 300 rounds on it. I don’t know much at all about AKs. I mostly shoot PTR / AR / Bolt and handguns.

Is this a decent maker? I see mixed stuff about WASR online?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Is this ring normal to have? I’ve been having an issue trying to fit the pin on the (new) brown lower. I thought the retainer should cover that change in the barrel but when I tried the original it’s still showing (even after some smacks with a rubber mallet.

Do I just need to sand that right side down for the pin to fit correctly?
