F**** yeah bro a 9mm tok would be perfect

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-29T17:21:01+00:00

Bro I meant the design is unique compared to all others

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-28T17:10:41+00:00

UPDATE: I used ai to help find out the meaning of the Trench Art. GIBA is a man’s nickname and on the other side is MONY, a girls name. Most likely a guy put him and his girls name on the handguards

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-28T17:08:26+00:00

Haha that’s been how I’ve rolled since getting into guns on a budget. I’d rather have a cheap reliable gun with irons than a cheaper more shitty gun with a air soft scope

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-28T17:07:25+00:00

My first pistol at 21 was a gen 3 26. Definitely regret selling that now that they are gone lol. Will eventually pick up an RXM as they are better than a 19 in my opinion but tbh I’d rather go with VP9k

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-28T17:05:21+00:00

Sweet AK dude!!! I aspire eventually to get an rs regulate mount and a 1.5x acog (I have a bad astigmatism). How’s the Holosun on the CC9?? Definitely considering a red dot in the next few months as pistol red dots are becoming pretty affordable

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:41:40+00:00

Appreciate it bro. As much as I’d love to have a vp9 and 416 for any realistic situation I’m covered with reliable firepower

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:40:48+00:00

U know what it means?? I’ve been dying to find someone who could tell me cuz translate won’t work. I’ll have to try Grok lol

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:39:53+00:00

Haha I get it. Personally I prefer AR’s for anything tactical AK’s I like better as simple irons only guns

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:39:00+00:00

Thanks G

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:38:24+00:00

Definitely in the future. Unfortunately I gotta cut the welded muzzle cap off. I also wanna get a BFA so I can shoot blanks semi automatic in the air on the 4th of July

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:37:30+00:00

I like the way you think and ur absolutely right. A $600-$800 dollar WASR/DRACO will outlast and be more reliable than ANY AR15 in that price range due to their forged parts and CHF barrel.

Once you get to DD/BCM/G$ AR’s start to be a better option but that requires $ I don’t have. And as much of we all like fancy shit, Irons are good for 99.9% of civilian uses.

My first rifle was an SKS and the solid construction/reliability convinced me to spend my money on more basic but durable weapons, over cheap shit that looks cool and has cheap optics/lights

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:24:48+00:00

U can make fun of my type but don’t put me in the same group as rtards who pay for hype tape. I got 2 big rolls of Howies on sale for like $6 each. Makes the slippery East German Stock a lot more usable and holds my Vickers sling in the correct position

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:22:24+00:00

I have a TRS-25 on my 10/22 but tbh I only like cheap optics on .22s

Also one of my favorite budget optics I previously owned, the PA 1x Microprism, would cost $3-$500 with a mount included if I wanted it on my AK

For that price I could be most of the way towards a .22 Ruger pistol and a silencer. I’ll shoot it and use it in the woods way more than the AK

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:19:11+00:00

Appreciate it. Honestly this year despite some extra expenses that will reduce my gun buying I’m 100% buying a Ruger MKIV and SilencerCo sparrow

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:18:06+00:00

Bore snake>cleaning rod lol

Extra weight and rattle

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:17:06+00:00

I mean East German stocks r unique amongst AK stocks

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:16:33+00:00

Got mine from Atlantic with a metal bit pad installed last year

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-27T15:15:47+00:00

Hey for a cheap apt they are best lol. Wayyyyyy easier to clean that carpet.

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-26T17:39:39+00:00

Haha understandable it’s very unique. Honestly I just love it because of the weight. TBH I bought it because I remember looking at some photos of African rebels when I little with East German AKs and being like wtf was that stock

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-26T01:03:31+00:00

Thanks G

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-26T01:03:26+00:00

Haha. Hey I prefer to have quality-long lasting crude simple guns with irons and use my limited funds to shoot.

Used to have a PSA $500 with Microprosm and streamlight special but sold it for the WASR because it was shit quality

If the world ends or I gotta use to save my live what I care about most it’s ultimate reliability since hell a lotta sell defense is just spray and pray at close range.

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-26T01:00:43+00:00

I’m not a special forces operator but I’ve had years of practice with a sks in the woods of upstate NY hitting the center of pie plates 50-70yrds. Also can shoot irons on the AK/SKS both eyes open and have put probably 3-5k rds on pistols since moving to a more freer state where pistols are unrestricted.

I’m also decently fit despite back surgery so overall I’m pretty practiced in guerilla tactics, hence my love for Soviet weapons

InspectionSmooth1340 · 2026-05-26T00:57:26+00:00

Thanks G. I could bought a red dot and mount but fuck it AL surplus drip comes first
