    Reversing the CA Compliance on an AR

    So a buddy calls me up last night and says he just bought his very first AR, starts describing it and soon realizes he's got the bullet button for his mag release and that it's a CA compliant. Which is fine, but we live in Kansas and he'd like to get rid of it obviously. So here I am with a...

    [Newbie] Need help shopping for an AK

    Good points henschman, and Nom, I can go back and take a pic of the little tab that sticks out to make it pistol grip safety lever later (since that's literally all it is) but ya I do mold all of my guns to be what I want, to me that's the point of owning them, and familiarizing yourself with...

    [Newbie] Need help shopping for an AK

    I do love her so, and I didn't mind doing the mods myself at all, it was sort of fun really. Plus they're inside and out. She was one of my first and would be one of my last if it came to it. I've put it through the ringer, hasn't disappointed yet. Oh almost forgot a quick summary, I've been...

    [Newbie] Need help shopping for an AK

    Does you Saiga have a hammer forged barrel and is it of high of quality? Yupp... Does your Saiga have a very strong and ridgid steel folding stock with a longer than standard AK length of pull and recoil pad? Personally wouldn't want that anyway, but thats an opinion question and not really a...

    [Newbie] Need help shopping for an AK

    Beyond the fact that the SAM7SF is a Bulgarian MILLED receiver as opposed to stamped, not sure what features would stand apart from it? ...on that note, I'd put my Saiga against it through any trial you could think up confidently any day of the week, and mine would inevitably be lighter while...

    [Newbie] Need help shopping for an AK

    I cant tell you how many ak types I've owned, but in my experience get yourself a new izshmash saiga 7.62x39, do the same quick mods arsenal does to them so they can call them "ARSENAL" and you'll have the rifle you wont trade for anything else. Vepr's are nice too but pricier. Oh, and avoid...

    Who makes the double under folder fixed bayonet AKs?

    I keep seeing these with the double under folder for the stock and an attached bayonet and thinking one should find its way into my collection. Is polytech the only ones making them? Are there better options for the folding attached bayonet option? Maybe im searching with the wrong keywords or...

    Ruger SR-762 vs Sig 716

    @CZ223, for me I was looking for something a bit less proprietary than the SCAR as it's not in the least bit forgiving on things like magazines, since if it's not FN then you're SOL. The price of those also throws a wrench on its chances of ending up in my safe anytime soon. The PTR91 might be...

    Ruger SR-762 vs Sig 716

    @G. Barnes How many rounds have you put through yours? Noticed anything so far that might be worth adding to point out? I keep leaning towards the Ruger as well, but of course just trying to cover the bases. The armalite I'll personally steer away from just from past experiences with their...

    Ruger SR-762 vs Sig 716

    The 901 is pretty darn cool I can agree there, but from what I'm finding almost twice the price, and it's a gas system while these two are rods, which I'm kind of a fan of personally.

    Ruger SR-762 vs Sig 716

    So trying to figure out an unproductive way to blow the tax return and looking at .308 "battle" rifles to add to my collection. I hear/read good things both about the Ruger SR-762, and the Sig 716 and I'm trying to decide if the extra $300 (give or take) the Sig is going for is genuinely...

    Help with red dot choice for AR build...

    +1 for the Primary Arms, and they're more durable than many of the fanboys for the more expensive models will have you believe because they're rightfully proud of their own big purchases. I currently own 4, I also have several models of the more expensive brands, which are excellent without...

    Trade Question AK for AR

    That's a good point, unfortunately I have no experience with the platform in that round so I couldn't endorse it as well but it's up to the OP. You can definitely carry more rounds per weight in that ammo though.

    Trade Question AK for AR

    Ditch the AR, go grab yourself an off the shelf Izhmash Saiga 7.62.x39 and use the opportunity to learn more about the platform while you move the trigger group forward and do the other tuning it will take to make it a proper rifle. That's all Arsenal does anyway, and it's what I did with mine...

    Vepr after market furniture options

    I'm just looking for something lighter but still tough while I'm in the brush. The ATI option is what I tried and had been waiting for because I really liked the idea of being able to just sling it behind me and not worry about accidentally hitting the hot barrel while out in the brush (which...

    Vepr after market furniture options

    Has anyone kept up on the Vepr after market furniture options? I'm sure there's some new stuff out since the last time I looked around and was wondering if someone could share some links. I had pre-ordered a stock/forend set from another place but after 6+ months of waiting they refunded me...

    Best Overall AK on the Market

    I have almost a dozen AK platform rifles currently, and have owned almost double that over the years and learned a lot of lessons through trial & error + wasting a lot of money in the process. The 3 of them I would mention here for reliablity/accuracy ("go to guns").... Arsenal, undisputedly...

    Vepr 54r

    I'm not going to get caught up in the comparison debate, but I can say I've put about every type of 54r you can find through mine and she chews through it fine. Am planning on threading it for a brake though. Fun shooter in my opinion...

    Saiga 7.62x39 Sight Alignment Issue : Help

    Nah I can put a level on the receiver, tube, and rail separately and they're fine. It's just the sight leaf/base that's the problem. Just to double check I remounted the rail and it's fine. If you hold the rifle completely plumb (going by the receiver) and look down the sight line, that darn...

    Saiga 7.62x39 Sight Alignment Issue : Help

    ya it doesn't overly bother me, would just like a nice level plane horizon when I look down the sight line. I know it's not the rail because Midwest Industries makes solid stuff, and I had it on another one before that without issue. If you look down the sight line the rear sight leaf is all...
