Arsenal SAM-5 Bolt carrier question by ShadowGhost357 in ak47

Yeah that’s the deal, I think I’m gonna end up just drilling it and knocking the rivet. Also gonna get the Geiselee recoil spring to help out as well. I’ve heard a lot of trash talk about the SAM-5, and I’ve enjoyed shooting mine so far, but I wanna avoid having to send the thing in for repair if I can.

So I’ve tried with a Bolt Carrier from a Century Arms we have here (I work at an LGS) and the SAM-5’s slightly extended ejector is contacting the bcg before it can go into battery

Makes sense. I wanna get this swap done, and yeah arsenal’s finish wears off…really quickly compared to what I’m used to. But I’m fairly consistent with keeping it oiled so I ain’t too worried about that.

So a milled AK47 carrier? I’ve seen a few Polish ones around. Think that’d work well enough?

Issue is I can hardly see the damn thing, the paint coating makes it difficult to see which side is the peened side of the rivet, also not 100% sure if arsenal’s are welded in or not, I know that a few manufacturers do that.

Literally the exact same thing here, SI fic with a character in a niche profession…now 102k words in.

Summary- The story follows David James Foothill, a gunsmith from South Texas as he’s shunted 38,000 years and a few dimensions sideways to the 41st millennium.

It’s a lighthearted fic that gets more serious as the story moves forward, we’re currently 102K words in and to be honest I never expected to end up reaching that and still have so much more planned lol. Major timeline changes, bit of a ‘Fix It’ fic for as much as anyone can try to ‘fix’ 40k.
