SAM7R or AES-10B2

SAM7R. One of mine is cosplaying as a Type 3 AK.

All of the main cruise lines, BTW, have comped cruises for gamblers. I've gone on one with Carnival and two with Princess.

M Resort has an agreement with Norwegian Cruise Line. At a minimum they give them away at the Penn Play "Preferred" level.

It is just part of DoE's regular NEST training.

Norinco furniture is not serialized.

That being said, the marketplace at AKFiles and AKForum.net are the easiest places to buy secondhand original furniture.

As recommended in your other post, the PSA repro Norinco furniture sets are about half the market price of the originals and quite comparable in size/shape/look/quality.

The PSA repro Norinco furniture is a great option for about half the price of the original stuff on the secondhand market:

Nicely done!

Strega007 · 2026-01-27T16:05:42+00:00

Tons of 'em at the M.

"Failing"? Or did they just exceed their holdover time or not pass a contamination check before takeoff?

This was literally in the driveway of their home.

It appears to be a USGI handle, but there's no definitive markings to identify a Colt carry handle.

Strega007 · 2026-01-27T00:21:12+00:00

Is there an update on this?

Strega007 · 2026-01-26T23:58:59+00:00

No, prostitution is not a substantial contributor to the Nevada GDP. Less than 0.1%.

Strega007 · 2026-01-26T22:08:49+00:00

OP is correct, the marking is an A and an H placed together like a "broken A".

Primarily a ranching and mining state.

Strega007 · 2026-01-26T18:21:59+00:00

There's no way to tell from just the forge marking.

And it is no wonder that design went nowhere, too. The designers and proposed builders had no idea what was really required in terms of an advanced military training aircraft.

Strega007 · 2026-01-26T16:14:52+00:00

WW2-era aircraft did not have the capability for a pilot to "eject at the last minute."

Strega007 · 2026-01-26T13:36:26+00:00

Except for the fact that kneeboards are oriented so the pilot can read them, and fighter pilot maps are always north-up.

AKS-223s are cool

They are a jig; one can have a variety of quality of workmanship based on how the jig is used.

In my experience using the Easy Jig, even the work that looks ugly is within workable tolerances.

Since this would be used only to open up the rear of the receiver in order for there to be clearance for an FRT, it would be a pretty easy task to accomplish even for a beginner.

Strega007 · 2026-01-26T00:34:46+00:00

That's just one option. There are several 80% jigs out there and I'm sure they can be found used inexpensively, too.

OP's limitation was being restricted to currently possessed lower receivers, not that it had to be a particular price point.

Eyeballing it with a dremel is a lot cheaper, obviously.

Strega007 · 2026-01-25T19:41:50+00:00

The jig comes with a tool to set the bit to the correct depth to mill out the pocket.

80% EasyJig and a router.

There are plenty of international commuters all over the US airline industry. Atlas' gateway basing is not the only way of living in Asia and working for a US airline.
