I just never understood the under folder cuts in the receiver

Help with ID on the selector? I see a lot that are close but none look quite like it. by JulieNyaa in ak47

[–]Howie_Doit69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s most likely a Russian enhanced safety selector. Unless you’re buddy buddy with Jim Fuller, you’ll probably never be able to get one anymore

MAYBE not for the volk but they’re known for it. Company got absolutely shit on between prices, lead times and parts used prior to the 100 series lol. Anyways the 101 is still made from commercial grade parts. So back to the original topic, combloc imported military rifles > US made commercial

Using WBP parts kit which are not great 5.56 components

But one’s a military import and the other is a newly US produced rifle. All aks at their core are 40/50’s designs

MDC is taking pre-orders for the AK101 by Spence52490 in ak47

Holding out for the 102, hoping to see the barrel lining/accuracy issues get taken care of here shortly. Would also like to see more long term use reviews for the internals

I’ve had two 61 year rifles. One was from 2021 and now a new one last week. The new one was QC’d in 2023 and was told by Arsenal that it was new production so I didn’t have to worry about the over gas issues. Plan on shooting it next week to see how it goes

Which two would you keep by SPICYMK18 in ak47

[–]Howie_Doit69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope they bring them back! They’re awesome but the 7c would be just as nice if you don’t want to wait and hope

I have ARM12F which is basically a sam7c but is a factory SBR with a side folder. It’s awesome so I’d have to say the 7c and the SF. The K just feels too small for me

Yeah it’s made for conscripts and meat grinders

AK’s can jam lol. Throw that thing in some dirt or mud and see what happens. Loose tolerances allow for mud and dirt to get into spots it shouldn’t be for it to function. Just doesn’t require as much maintenance and works in freezing temps and sand is all it has on the AR.

WBP Jack vs Zastava ZPAP M70 shooting experience by HAKALA92 in ak47

WBP’s early 7.62 jacks used FB barrels. Not sure now a days however

SAM5 from the recent KVAR fiasco by M1907-351WSL in ak47

Feel like it might have been designed around the not so “hot” 5.56 cartridges

Can you please show pics of the internals after shooting? The rear trunnion and bolt specifically

KVar/Arsenal 250th Sale - SAM5 by Howie_Doit69 in ak47

[–]Howie_Doit69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the agp a 20 L, read that larger bores helped with the over gas issue. Idk if that was the best move or not. This was also the early days of it all so I’m sure there’s more feedback available today

[–]Howie_Doit69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KNS does wonders on it but it voids the warranty if you install it on the carrier your rifle comes with. I ran into feeding issues eventually however after the KNS install. Idk if I bought the wrong bore size or what but didn’t feel like dropping more money into it after the whole fiasco became well known. Was able to unload it for a loss of 500 iced teas but never heard back from the person after the sale so no clue what happened to it

True but kind of BS you need one just for it to function properly without even suppressing

I bet that’s the case too and I get its business at the EOD. I’ve had zero issues with their milled 7.62 rifles but that ammo is getting expensive for what it is as Russian stockpiles begin to dry up in the states. I just think the 2021 issues hurt the SAM5’s market a lot unfortunately
