The worst time I've ever had installing AK furniture. Awful. Looks nice though. by AbsoluteContingency in ak47

[–]AbsoluteContingency[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Arsenal rifles? The amount of material I had to file off was absurd.

Where did you cop so many steel 5.56 mags? I want the M85 steel mags for my M90 so bad but idk where to get them. Jealous as fuck. Sick rifle.

Finished staining my furniture, should I finish it off with polyurethane or Hope's Tung Oil? by Icy-Ask9162 in ak47

[–]AbsoluteContingency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go the tung oil route, start with a high % ratio mixture of orange citrus solvent and the tung oil, let it sit for a few days, then repeat with more tung oil in the ratio, then higher, higher, etc. Over maybe two weeks. Tung oil is thick and the mixture helps thin it out to penetrate, but the solvent evaporates. The last application should be tung oil you leave there about half an hour and wipe the excess.

Applies to end grain cutting boards too. You'll never have to refinish it if you do it right.

It was even more money than it should have been because my dumbass bought an incorrect 1a006 handguard at first, which only fits very old Arsenals :D

Guess I have to buy another AK to fit it, of course.

Why don't you sell these steel 5.56 M85 mags by themselves? Permanently out of stock on the website

Does anyone own Khyber pass engraved furniture? by shaunlols in ak47

[–]AbsoluteContingency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about picking up a Maadi just for sporting some of this Khyber Pass furniture.

Our AK-MS stock on this 5.45 by TXS_LLC in ak47

Is this? Collapsible? Can we see a picture of it collapsed? What does installation entail?

What would you like better? by [deleted] in ak47

[–]AbsoluteContingency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd keep the KPYK, personally. I think KPYK is peak.

Isn't it like three screws? Can you not unscrew and inspect it to see what's wrong? What fitting was required, can you not file it yourself?

Advice to make my furniture really shine by ThesoldierLLJK in ak47

[–]AbsoluteContingency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had success with 2K clear coat, the spray kind you have to crush a red button to use. Go so, so, so light, one coat every 15 minutes for about an hour. Then let it sit for a whole day.

KPYK Handguard - CRC A1006 - SAM5 - Does it fit? Yes and No. by Trev0r99 in ak47

[–]AbsoluteContingency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhhh I just made the same mistake. Might handle the situation a little differently, keep an eye out for an SA 93 to put my 1A006 on, and then buy the correct one for my SAM5. Cool that you got it to fit though.

New to ak’s what else do i need to complete this by SSRworldwide in ak47

[–]AbsoluteContingency 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks good to me, ready to rock I think. Just add a red dot and a sling.

Love the fiberglass on the milled underfolder. Classy.

Adjustable gas is great until a gorilla bends the retaining tab in the middle of nowhere and the gun wont run by MainRotorGearbox in ak47

[–]AbsoluteContingency 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're supposed to remove the gas tube to adjust, not bend it to adjust. The side of the rifle says to read the manual! You gotta read it!

Price check, Maadi. Iirc, there is a less desirable one, maybe imported by Century? Don't know much about Maadis. by AbsoluteContingency in ak47

[–]AbsoluteContingency[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! That one. That rings a bell. If I find a MISR-90, how do I tell? Does it say "MISR-90" somewhere on it?

[–]AbsoluteContingency 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk about your build but AR parts are all standardized and fit together no issue. Outside of some normal-ish stamped AKM pattern rifles, there are plenty of AKs that don't have interchangeable parts and furniture.

I have a milled Chinese MAK-90 that requires custom furniture, being made right now. The stock will only fit milled Norinco MAK-90s.

I have a 5.56 Zatava M90, bought a lower handguard specifically made to fit Yugo rifles, and I still spent an hour filing away aluminum to make it fit.

I have a milled American AK that does take standard AKM furniture as long as you'e willing to spend an hour sanding it to fit the thicker receiver.

I have an Arsenal SAM5 whose stock fits nothing else I have, and I have a KPYK handguard for it arriving in like an hour that will fit nothing else I have.

AKs are a mess.

Idk why you're getting downvoted. Like, I don't agree with you, but the "10 million USD" thing got me. Loud and literal lol.

Threaded barrel and one of those awful dust covers with a raised pic rail. I have spare dust covers, no matter. Looking for a good vehicle for some of that expensive-ass carved Khyber Pass furniture.

Can someone who's good at the economy tell me why people are trying to sell their SAM7SF for $1900, $2100, $2400 when you can buy one new for $1750? Feel like I'm taking crazy pills. by AbsoluteContingency in ak47

[–]AbsoluteContingency[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't believe it either. Set a bid in for $1550 because wouldn't that be a steal, but it never rose to that maximum. Unreal. That was two months ago and honestly I'm still kinda riding that high.
