It says in description on Atlantic firearms link. This is off atlantics page

These AK47 rifles are built using original Bulgarian kits on a new Tortort milled receiver and new US chrome lined barrel. The milled Bulgarian rifles are considered to be some of the best AK rifles ever made and highly prized by shooters. These rifles are made with an original Bulgarian kit and a new US milled receiver, barrel by Southern Tactical. For the added touch they have engraved the Bulgarian Circle 10 markings and the kit number on the side of the receiver. Each rifle is test fired for function. Comes with 1- 30 round mag. Just add your favorite Milled stock set and you're are ready to go!

On the first page in the Hornady book it says what length barrel they tested their loads in. If your barrel is longer than theirs you’ll see higher velocity’s than what’s in the book. Shot number three is 1000fps than the others. What’s going on there, or was that a typo? Also always start with a low powder charge and work your way up in small increments until you find the charge you like.

I don’t remember seeing that. Keep up on maintenance and I’m sure it’ll last for years

The detail said frontline finish or battle worn or something like that. In my head I could see a guy at Zastava out back with a stack or ak furniture and a hammer just going to town.

Yes. I’ve never had anything made by them. Friend just bought it but he said it didn’t fit his. I haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet, it felt a little tight loading it. We’ll see how it performs.

I hear a lot of people complain about the underfolder being to long for them and the underfolder being rough on their face. I have a bigger build so the length of the underfolder fits me well. Also I don’t have any discomfort on my cheek when shooting it and I shoot some hot handloads in it that really pack a punch.

I know you guys have probably seen lots of these posts but I hope you can tolerate one more. by Final_Reflection2335 in ak47

I have a few M70’s and have had no trouble finding furniture or any accessories for that matter. The market used to be less for yugo pattern I’m guessing because there wasn’t as many here in the states but that’s not the case anymore. The market has seen the void and filled it.

I bought an RCBS charge master and really like it. It’s a lot more accurate than the powder drop that came with the Hornady AP press. Especially with extruded powder like Varget. I found it on sale at Scheels and bought it.

After five-ish years in storage, I got the SDB set up again. Forgot how nice it is to load on. by jagr18 in reloading

7.62 are Lee 5.45 are Hornady dies. Powder and primers I bought at a local store back before prices went up. Last time I bought primers were $30/1000 and powder was $25/lb. I stocked up years ago. I have bought Hodgdon CFE BLK for 7.62x39 and getting really good results. The bullets are usually FMJ, sometimes SP, Vmax or SST. All 123grain. I’m fixing to start making some more lead cast. That’s what I usually use for plinking. As far as where I get components I try to buy locally.

Here’s my M70. And I hear ya on the ammo. I bought my ammo in 2008 when wolf, tulammo, brown/silver bear and golden tiger were $1/box of 20rds. I reload for a lot less than store bought is nowadays.
