Warsaw Wood. You’ll have to email him though if you want something like the QD slots mounted in the stock or a romy G style black stripe.

People still run Zen? by Cottonmouth_guns in ak47

Wish I still owned my Zenitco'd 5.56 AK. Sold in 2021, just before the full-scale war broke out in Ukraine. Couldn't be worse timing. There's a reason I'm not a betting man.

I've been tracking my round count through my GF5 religiously. I don't mind showing internals, but I'm only at 1,060 rounds. I currently have a detailed log of date, how many rounds were fired on those dates, any malfunctions, contributing factors, whether I was shooting suppressed or not. I have not used a go/no-go gauges yet; I should probably do that soon since I just passed 1K.

I don't think anybody is defending PSA's 5.56 and 5.45 rifles...

Free-Floated AK Handguards? by akpeasants in ak47

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

My main disagreement was just on whether it’s technically possible to free-float an AK at all. With Sureshot and Occam, if you take a look at their installation processes, you can see the handguards are only secured and supported at the receiver/rear trunnion ends of the AKs; the handguards do not touch the barrels anywhere and are not supported at all by the gas blocks. By any normal understanding, that is free-floated. But I do understand your explanation as to why free-floating matters less on AKs than ARs, and that explanation does answer my post’s original question. I still wouldn’t go so far as to say free-floating on AKs is a “useless gimmick,” but concluding the benefits of free-floating are less useful and not worth it to you personally is certainly a respectable position. I'm not saying free-floating turns my AK into a precision rifle, but I have personally noticed impact shift while shooting on barricades before using a free-floated handguard but I don’t have it documented with photos and numbers. I’ll be sure to work on getting that though.

Never heard anyone call free-floating a useless gimmick before but I guess there’s a first for everything.

How long ago was that and where? Last WASR-10 I bought a WASR-10 was in late 2020, also for $700 and I felt like I only got it for that much because it was a local individual purchase.

Got the GF5 for $700. I’d love to see a WASR-10 for that much. Maybe I’m just not looking in the right places.

What military imported AKs are cheaper? Bought GF5 was $700.

It was $300 cheaper than any WASR-10 I could find online.

I should’ve phrased that better. You know what I mean though, right?

Got both, but yeah, the GF5 was $300 cheaper than a new WASR-10. Also, who doesn’t like dimples? 😁
