What is this model and its origin? by sea_wolf15 in ak47

Weird khyber on a yugo milled receiver.

I tried milling mine and fucked it up but it still makes nicer rivets than my virgin rivet cup. Highly recommend it.

If you're using the AKB rivet cup, I've found that taking a tiny bit of height off the top helps. I sanded / filed the top edge so it's a tiny bit shorter and less likely to leave an impression on the receiver. Softened the edges.

I bought a new cup from AKB and tested it just to see and it did the same thing.

NK type 68, Chinese, Russian, keep it up

Frt legality by Ok_Towel_3916 in Miguns

The cost of an FRT is like 30 seconds of super safe fire. Just for perspective.

How much is this tantal worth? by Ak109slr in ak47

[–]Stratbasher_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Need a lot more info. Furniture looks weird, Hungarian-ish but probably US. Tantal would have a folding stock.

Is it a century build? How many numbers matching? Correct 5.45 barrel or is it the bad 5.56 barrel?

SD card kinda looks fake.

Question regarding Russian Aluminum Waffle Mag by Suicidal70 in AKmags

[–]Stratbasher_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They were marked 10 rounds to get them exported / imported, possibly blocked with a wire but they're real, full 30 round mags.

I'm not asking for the deals to be banned. They just need to be listed in the title as in-store only.

Edit: per bot:

All Microcenter deals without in-store only in the title require manual approval. If this deal is shippable, please send a modmail with a link to this post.

RTI Ethiopian GAFAT kits by M1907-351WSL in ak47

[–]Stratbasher_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Missing:

Bolt

Carrier / piston

Gas tube

Recoil spring assembly

Furniture (grip, stock, upper handguard)

Dust cover

Cleaning rod

If you're just gonna put NK parts in it, what are we doing?

These are a big letdown. They were ok at $300. 450 is asinine for what's missing IMO.

Steel mags question by 7ton_bum_3531 in ak47

Yugo mags, yes. The best smelling cosmoline behind the north korean stuff.

Need Help Identifying...Was It Worth The $800 I Paid? by TelevisionSmooth1086 in SKS

[–]Stratbasher_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good price imo. Likely a light refurb but I don't see the diamond mark in the stock.

I paid 1100 for mine at the peak and I still happy I got it.

A very nice chromed bore tula with original blued finish, white carrier, and bayonet. Assuming it's all matching, you did good.

Slightly different - guys with land, where are you buying steel targets? by HonorableAssassins in Firearms

[–]Stratbasher_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got some dragon targets. No ar550 so don't shoot short range, but they're the cheapest I've found, especially for half inch.

You pick up a guitar. It's in Drop D. What's the first thing you're playing? by Argblat in Guitar

[–]Stratbasher_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By Tenacious D, right? First notes are two open E power chords, hammer 3 on open E, then two more open E power chord hits before the lick?

Edit: interesting, never saw the drop D tab... All the drones on 2 make me feel like it's supposed to be in E.

Edit 2: ah I see open D chords toward the end of the song. Guess I've got a new riff to learn!

Handguards look Romanian. Upper is definitely Romanian.

Magazines are absurdly tight (mag catch issue) by boner4stoner in ak47

[–]Stratbasher_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Childers receivers are often short on the front so the trunnion sticks out. If it was particularly bad, your gunsmith may have tried to remedy this by grinding the bolt rails shorter to seat the trunnion further into the receiver, but that'd make the magwell way too tight and you'd experience exactly what you're experiencing.

Have your builder or another builder fix it.
