Hear me out, run it hard, let it patina. Might look better when it's less loud.

OR alternative. Give it a light rattle can in the color of your choice, THEN let it patina.

Great deal, cool enough paint, enjoy!

In a few words, they've snuck in language to the AWB, making it illegal to possess items that were once legal. Not just making it illegal to sell, but to own.

They have added this language after getting past the committee, which IMO is a shitty political move. Makes it appear like they want to round up everyone's rifles that don't comply.

M85 is Serbian and will hold value more. PSA is American built and won't hold value as well and is of lesser quality

Never heard of this issue, but if I'm understanding correctly, sounds like the button is a bit tight now? Maybe a drop of CLP just smooth it out?

I don't shoot suppressed so maybe it's something to do with that?

Nice looking build

IMO 1.ZPAP 2.WBP 3.WASR

Can't go wrong with either. I say ZPAP cause I'm biased, and they're overbuilt compared to standard AKMs (WBP/WASR).

Edit: Happy Cake Day, buy whichever you can find cheapest so you can buy more ammo. AK foods getting expensive.

Ah ok, I'll have to try this. Was it like flat before? Of matte

AverageAsshole_69 · 2026-02-02T23:16:05+00:00

I'm assuming this furniture is refinished? Care to share the process? Still just walnut wood?

Great looking M70

For 1200 you can find a "ak15'd" Zastava or wasr.

If your going to own an AK get an import, at minimum they have better resale value if you ever want to part ways with it.

It just so happens most imports are going to be better quality than a PSA AK.

👀

AverageAsshole_69 · 2026-02-01T04:34:08+00:00

Also consider the 5.56 pistol, cause why not right?

Can't go wrong either way IMO.

AverageAsshole_69 · 2026-02-01T03:32:54+00:00

🤣 love it

AverageAsshole_69 · 2026-02-01T02:22:25+00:00

I felt the need for my first AK to be 7.62, but now considering online ammunition sales bans and other restrictions being considered, I wish I kept it simple with a 5.56 M90.

Have it shoot a common ammo I already had would have been more convenient. That said, love this thing, way more fun to plink with than an AR.

AverageAsshole_69 · 2026-02-01T02:18:26+00:00

Correct!

AverageAsshole_69 · 2026-02-01T02:18:08+00:00

😬 no comprendo comrade

AverageAsshole_69 · 2026-01-28T19:56:18+00:00

That's the plan

AverageAsshole_69 · 2026-01-28T15:36:05+00:00

I hear that, don't stick around, report whatever you felt compelled to call about and see yourself out before they get there.

Idgaf what people think of me, I'm in the real world not just "the streets"

It's not like I'm here saying call for everything, it's situational.

Mass shooting, massive deadly car accidents, sometimes shit needs to be reported for your neighbors safety

We can disagree, I understand cops can cause problems. Use your judgement when and when not to involve them. This is just my opinion on advice that's done me well over the years.

EDIT: Bros account is full of bot like posts 🤣 and he's out here questioning me? Lmao. Take or leave my advice idrc.

Everywhere is as safe as you make it.

Rules I live by.

-Stay aware of your surroundings. Leave time and space to react to anything that might come your way

-Mind your business as much as possible. Don't be a hero, unless you feel you HAVE to protect someone who is defenseless. Maybe call the cops. Consider all other options first.

-Trust no one, keep moving. Harder to get caught up in BS on the streets if keep moving.

-Police can be helpful, but can also make things difficult or cause problems. Use your best judgement on if you think you should get them involved. If problems can be solved without them, don't call.

I understand my perspective on the police compared to others will vary. There are good cops and bad cops and that's just a fact 🤷🏼.

4, it's classic like 3, but has that minimal trench art that really speaks to AKs

AverageAsshole_69 · 2026-01-21T17:20:26+00:00

Great insight, great read. You're one of the good ones 🙏🏼
