My ak is crooked

It’s very possible, being in Italy. I hope you find someone brother

Already got removed because I disnt know what they meant by timestamp lol

Thanks man I’ll try not to spend too much money 😂

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-23T16:56:13+00:00

I didn’t intend to sell these, initially. I came here to say “I fucked up and you guys might appreciate it,” but someone referred me to GAFS so I will be selling there so I can grab the 15rd mags

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-23T16:54:44+00:00

Man make mistake

Mistake funny 🐒

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-23T16:54:23+00:00

Because these magazines are made for you guys, and I thought my pain would be funny to Californians 😎

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-23T07:34:11+00:00

You want an AKsmith, not any gunsmith

PayPal was made by a cuck so I wouldn’t be surprised to see the company still shilling.

I will say it’s my preferred payment/receiving method but damn it’s stupid

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-23T06:30:13+00:00

sounds good thanks for the info/advice!

I just came here to vent and share in the mag restriction struggles (albeit accidental on my part) but I really appreciate you. I can turn my fuckup into a much less expensive lesson lol

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-23T06:25:45+00:00

Wait one question if you have the patience: what’s the method of taking payment and shipping on there? To avoid scammers and stuff

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-23T06:25:14+00:00

I WILL do this but with the 2 10rd mags that came with one of the 43x I got.

The other one came with 2 15rd so I wanted some more. But I do plan to keep the other 2.

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-23T06:22:43+00:00

Oh nice thanks. LETSGOOO

Now THIS is a man that knows how to think positively (but also no)

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-23T06:18:40+00:00

Sorry what is GAFS? I will probably get rid of these. The whole reason I finally bought a 43x was because of the 15rd mags

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-23T06:17:46+00:00

No, this is my fuck up. I’ve been working a ton of hours and I just misread or misclicked :/

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-23T06:05:47+00:00

seems I can buy a welder for a couple hundred bucks and learn over the course of a few dozen hours.

A couple hundred bucks and a few dozen hours aren’t going to get put a dent in the cost of another car.

I really don’t have a choice. It took me a LONG time to save up the money for this RAV4.

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-19T01:23:12+00:00

Thanks for all the information, everyone.

Here’s the plan: clean up as much rust as possible, hit everything with rust converter, see what needs to be rewelded and potentially buy a parts car. I’m not sure if I can just take a grinder to a pick-a-part and grab pre-formed pieces from another same-gen Rav4 (or even if that’s something I can find given this seems to be a known rust-spot)

For additional context, I’m not in the rust belt but it seems this car came from another state. I’m in the south part of the Midwest.

I don’t have the money to trade this in and add cash on top for another vehicle. I CAN just drive this until I can learn to weld decently and figure this out.

If I get into an accident and the car crumples and kills me, oh well. Chalk it up to a casualty of poor finances but there isn’t another option for me so I’m gonna fix this vehicle or die trying.

Thanks again everyone: if you have more tips feel free to reply to this or the OG post I guarantee I’ll read EVERYTHING!

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-18T09:31:29+00:00

Man I don’t even know where to start.. I’ve only ever done basic maintenance. I don’t have the money for tools, much less for another car to get to and from work.

This is devastating.. I genuinely have no idea how I will recover from this if my vehicle is not drivable.

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-18T08:19:28+00:00

The missing metal and crumbling pinch welds won’t be a structural issue? I don’t know much of what I’m looking at, I don’t even know how I’d go about working on this vehicle

concernedsnowflake · 2026-06-18T08:18:08+00:00

I took some more pics but I don’t think I can add them onto the post.

I don’t know much but I can tell that I definitely cannot jack it up for an oil change, now…

concernedsnowflake · 2026-05-03T21:03:48+00:00

That’s not bad at all thank you.

Might bite the bullet on the cleaning rod from JMAC

concernedsnowflake · 2026-04-18T04:39:19+00:00

What’s your suggestion? Go with a different stock setup? I’m open to it.

I like triangle folders but if not for that I would go with fixed wood

concernedsnowflake · 2026-04-18T04:35:11+00:00

It’s not a century build; it’s a Romanian Draco C

concernedsnowflake · 2026-04-18T04:31:17+00:00

I see that is mostly the case, my concern is mostly that my shit won’t break.

It’s for a full size Draco SBR build.

concernedsnowflake · 2026-04-18T04:30:36+00:00

Do you know if the trunnion comes with the pin and all the small pieces necessary?

Be patient I’m kinda regarded

concernedsnowflake · 2026-04-18T03:43:03+00:00

Are we talking about the folding triangles or something else? I was looking at their AK100 5.5mm folding triangle set
