    AK-47 Question

    I don't know, but I would assume that some minor fitting would have to be done. With all the AK variants out there, it makes for a high possibility. Just don't make the mistake of taking too much off, you still want it to be a very snug fit. A rubber mallet is definitely needed. Take the gamble...

    Steel case .223's

    Yeah, zero issues with the 162gr Brown Bear so far. Great plinking ammo. Only issue, it's hot as hell in the desert right now. As far as a dirty chamber, saw this posted on Calguns per MXRider, maybe it's been posted on here, interesting read about dirty chambers and the importance of lube...

    My $459 AK Purchase... What is it ???

    I like the beat up look too, why invest money into this steal. And it is 922r compliant, done. Shoot the hell out of it already, ha. One last test in terms of barrel life/bore condition, do a bullet drop test. If you are not familiar with the bullet drop test, remove the muzzle break, insert a...

    My $459 AK Purchase... What is it ???

    SGLs are converted Saigas. Lightly used huh? Definitely used, but gtg at that price. Definitely strip her down and look for corrosion. Take that muzzle break off and check the muzzle, you may have to break out some fine steel wool and clean it up. Bakelite mags go for $40+, what are the...

    Steel case .223's

    Yep, been using Prvi m193 and have had no issues with it. Good stuff in my book, especially at 30¢/rnd. I am not a precision shooter and do not shoot posted up on a bench all day, just too boring for me, so the "inferior" rounds don't bother me. Just ordered some 162gr Brown Bear from JG Sales...

    AMMO?

    Online, always cheaper if you look hard enough: http://gun-deals.com/ammo.php?caliber=6.5x55 http://gun-deals.com/ammo.php?caliber=8mm+Mauser Shipping is a factor at times, well, all the time. I usually toggle between the lowest options and figure out shipping costs and then divide to choose...

    Magpul Back up Sights

    If you want some good flip up iron sights, YHM makes some that aren't going to break the bank. http://vtsupply.com/yhm-9627-9584-front-forearm-flip-sight-buis.html http://vtsupply.com/yhm-yankee-hill-9680-a1-a2-flip-up-rear-sight-buis.html (A2 for me) The A2 rear sight does not lay as flat...

    S&W M&P 15 5.45x39 vs Arsenal SGL31

    Any misfeeds or FTF, FTE with the 7n6? Anything you had to trouble shoot, like mags, to get her running smoothly? If you've shot a couple thousand rounds of the stuff through your S&W, it's a pretty damn good gauge on the firearm. I was concerned about build up in the gastube & receiver...

    S&W M&P 15 5.45x39 vs Arsenal SGL31

    One thing to note is that the first batch of 5.45x39 S&Ws had major keyholing issues b/c of out-of-spec barrels. That all should be rectified by now and S&W has excellent customer service, but definitely something to ask the seller. The 7n6 5.45 surplus is a dirty mutha. Super easy to clean...

    ak noob questions

    dfariswheel has a great point, the Tapco ak-74 style brakes are heavy. Just get a slant brake, done. If you have the cash, maybe get a AK-47 BATTLECOMP, but they are stupid expensive.. half the cost of your WASR. There are some other well marketed options out there, but the slant is battle...

    Mini draco SBR muzzle device

    I have an MI brake on my Draco and it works fine. http://vtsupply.com/midwest-industries-ak-flash-hider-impact-device-mi-akfh1-ak47.html I used it on this day, no flash that I recall, yugo brass. http://youtu.be/y6CbUvlb4UM (I'm in CA, 10 round mags and mag locks.....) I should actually...

    Taking Back the Infantry Half-Kilometer: A critique.

    Behind every military tragedy is a military failure. There's no doubt Wanat was a tragedy, but the OP was asking about real world data and this was one military paper that may have offered him something about the current engagements in Afghanistan. There's a lot of extraneous passages and it...

    The only rifle that you could take.

    Yeah, I thought you owned an AK, so didn't understand your comment. I would expect that from most AR fanboys ;-) .... and I also love my AR btw, but I would leave my house with an AK. Well, I thought the point of the topic was an all round firearm for SHTF scenario. You can definitely hunt with...

    Taking Back the Infantry Half-Kilometer: A critique.

    If anyones interested here a link to the report on the battle of Wanat: http://usacac.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/carl/download/csipubs/Wanat.pdf There is a lot of detail, but it's basically about COP Kahler, a combat outpost that is attacked and almost overrun. Extremely close fighting. Go to page 141...

    The only rifle that you could take.

    Basically, the SHTF scenario rifle, easily maintained and plenty of available ammo. Well, AK47 has a proven track record in battle all over the world. The platform carries all major calibers, 556x45 and 762x39 being the most abundant in our neck of the woods. You can use 762x39 or 762x51 for...

    Pitbull AK-47 - American made - anyone have any experience with them?

    Then get a WASR-10/63, a flip of the coin but if you are able to inspect it personally, you are GTG. A Century Draco is 100% built in Romania and imported in with all parts, a y stamped receiver, no 922r compliance needed as it is classified as a pistol. I love mine and only wish I could SBR...

    Help us test a polymer AR-15 Lower

    Actually, looks like a local shop is carrying them in San Diego, Parallax Tactical, so no $75-$100 transfer fee (includes $25-$30 for DROS). Zing!
