Just picked her up today. She looks kinda "sedate", so I have some work to do.
I've decided (actually my wallet decided for me) to go the cheap route first and see if I can live with it. By cheap, I mean no trigger rework, fancy stock, muzzle breaks, etc...
So, I'm going to install an RAA skeletonized stock, a Surefire Tri-Rail and a POSP scope. The question is which scope is best suited to the .308 w/21.8" barrel? I'd like to still be able to use the iron sights while the scope is in place, so does that mean the 8x42 is not gonna fly? Is the 8x42 overkill given I probably will never fire her beyond 400 yards? Is the 6x24 adequate? Do the chevrons work within reason for the .308?
Anyone have any input?
You guys that are used to the AK systems would have laughed your butts off watching me try to get it back together again after field stripping it without any directions. All was well until it came time to get her back together again. That bolt alignment step was a little interesting....
But, after figuring it out and going through the drill 5 times in a row to see if I could memorize it, these AK's are a breeze to strip and reassemble.
Any ideas what some of those parts are in the little "pill holder" that comes with the rifle?
Thanks and I think I may have made a good choice over the PSL I almost bought.
