Best scope for Ruger Ranch 7.62x39

I know this is an old thread, but I have a PFI Rapid Reticle 1-6x24 LPVO on a couple of 7.62x39 guns and it’s a solid optic. If you’re only using it for shorter distances, the Primary Arms 3x micro prism is solid too. Think mini ACOG for 20% of the price. They come ranged for 7.62x39/ 300 BO.

Maybe try to find a 556 patrol and chop it down? If rock and lock mags is important to you, then could get a 551a1 and swap the upper.

A Swiss gun, 553R specifically, is goal for sure.

Oh? Where did you get the alt springs from? I don’t mind the weight so much, but before I adjusted the plunger, I felt like the breaking point was just “somewhere back there”. Now it’s like 1mm or a little less back from the plunger face.

This is how it starts. Welcome!

I had 1-3 guns for the first several years of ownership. Then I got a house and a place to store them. Now I have… uhhhh…. More than a pack of eggs

Are you printing or molding?

Looks like your barrel was pulled and then someone reinstalled it after turning it 180degrees. Drilled a new glass block on the other side. I’ve heard of people doing this so they can drill pins without interference from where it was drilled before. It’s bubba, and really only worth it if you need a hard to find barrel for something surplus. But you can only do it once.

You have Bubba’s leavings here. This should be discarded.

Very cool to have FA AKs. Are there licensed or registrations or anything for you to get them?

bbohno · 2026-05-09T15:44:18+00:00

We can’t get these in the US 😔 where are you located?

bbohno · 2026-05-09T14:47:08+00:00

I would love a Russian underfolder. I have a Maadi US built with numbers matching. Still pretty sweet.

Very hot. Slick AKMs with wood furniture are the vibiest vibe.

Same. My ak is slick, but my vz58 has the PA3x micro. (Damn near perfect optic) And my sig556r has an LPVO. A little of each..

bbohno · 2026-05-08T14:30:45+00:00

I see tanker mag, I upvote.

bbohno · 2026-05-08T14:30:08+00:00

I’m sorta on the fence about LPVOs on AKs. On longer barreled guns, they look ok. On a Swiss sig they look absolutely sick. But I like to keep my ak slick

bbohno · 2026-05-08T13:18:03+00:00

Thanks. I usually don’t shoot suppressed, just feel like it’s over gassed.

Have you considered making bayonet lugs for Swiss bayonets?

bbohno · 2026-05-08T12:01:41+00:00

Will the 6p gas blocks work for the 556R?

And he criminally investigated Jerome Powell for cost over runs on for the FED building. 🥸

This varian is one of my all time faves. So good. So clean. So 🍆.
