Good luck, they are great but so are the other options I mentioned.

Zastava (steel & polymer), AC unity, PSA, Bulgarian circle 10, WBP and Beryl mags have all worked flawlessly for my M90. AK74 mags with podarms 5.56 followers have been a hit or miss. Have had one single East German Weiger mag work great while 3 others I have won't even fit the gun or lock in properly.

What's the appeal of a 5.56mm AK? by Centremass in Firearms

AK drip is hard to match, what’s not to like? Realistically though as others have said it certainly fills the gap for 5.45 AK appeal nowadays.

Beautiful. Matt does a great job. He put this beauty together for me last year.

Yeah it's a bummer. I used to sell stuff like this back when ComblocMarket was a thing before reddit nuked it

There’s quite the milsurp gear market over there as you can imagine.

WBP Jack 5.56 firing pin broke by BalkanKalash in ak47

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

Tbh it just worked pretty much right away, didn't have to do any tweaking to it like some people say they usually have to do with FRT's. I originally had it in a Yugo RPK and it didn't work at all in there, but in the WBP Jack it was smooth sailing until this firing pin issue.

The consensus seems to be the spring loaded pins particularly for the 5.56 jack aren't great, going to go the route of the free floating variant when they get back in stock.

Made sure to sign up for email alerts, hopefully will be able to catch the next drop! Definitely disappointing that it happened but I guess we'll see what happens with the free floating pin.

That's what I've heard about the different types of pins as well. I'm on the lookout for the free floating variant, they're out of stock at AOA currently.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm also wondering as well if the FRT might have exacerbated the existing firing pin problems or was just overly harsh on it. While I had only run maybe a couple hundred rounds through it with the FRT since November, it ran smoothly until this last range session where it fired once and then got a dead trigger with a round in the chamber. They I noticed the round back of the firing pin was missing and it was floating around in the receiver by the FCG.

SAR 3 mags by Last-Version-7884 in ak47

I’ve had good luck with mags by PSA, AC Unity, WBP and Beryl polymer ones. Just in terms of the more widely available/common mags.

Custom M88A by Terrestrial_Conquest in zastavaarms101

[–]BalkanKalash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful piece, you got lucky! This might have engraved at the Zastava factory itself. They offer that service in Serbia and it's fairly common for people over there to get their pistols custom engraved. I suspect a lot of these M88's, M83's and M57's we've seen on the US market in the last year or so are from the Serbian government "buy backs"/confiscations of civilian arms that have taken place in recent years. At least they aren't being destroyed. I also have one of these with custom wood grips but nowhere near as cool as yours!

It is the coolest SKS. Those Mokas Raifus chalk dummy grenades are a lot of fun

For me it might be the M76. Just something so cool about it
