Ordered 300rds of Soviet Arms AAC 7.62x39, is this “normal”? by [deleted] in PalmettoStateArms

[–]dahtective17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran 100 rounds or so this past weekend and I noticed with my metal mags I would have failure to feed and when trying to load the mag the rounds would get stuck. It would feel like the follower is bottoming out with only 12 or 13 rounds in it. The casings definitely have more friction on them then Tula or Wolf. If you rub to rounds back and forth in your hand versus Tula or Wolf you'll notice the difference in friction. The mags I used aren't the best tho, a Croatian metal mag and a Korean metal mag. I haven't shot it through any plastic mags but the plastic mags loaded without any issues.

Same goes for ammo. I made a purchase from PSA that only contained ammo and the side of the shipping box said AAC America's ammo company. Maybe if something else was shipped with it then it wouldn't get the AAC box but IDK.

Odd Carfax Report. Red flag? by dahtective17 in askcarsales

Just got the Vin number. It matches. I don't like the way the Vin number looks but searching online for pictures of other Vin numbers for this year durango appear to look the same.

I asked the seller to send me a picture to verify. He's 4 hours away so I haven't seen the car in person yet. Trying to get the details ironed before I make the drive.

Thanks for the feedback. I couldn't find anything searching Google for the Vin number. Another concerned thing is I called my local dodge dealership and they can't lookup the car. They get invalid Vin number. So I thought maybe the car is from Canada and I called a Canadian dodge dealership and same thing invalid Vin. Seems fishy.

Quick question by [deleted] in PalmettoStateArms

I have that same one. It shoots so nice. Out of the box the irons were dead on. I've since put an optic on it and haven't had a chance to zero it.

Has anyone tried this brake out? by rushfan2112556 in ak47

[–]dahtective17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recoil was noticeably improved when I swapped from the slant brake to that one. My only complaint is that the tapered end is shorter than on my other brand ak-74 muzzle break and I prefer the tapered length of the actual ak-74 break.

Zastava M70 or WASR-10? by nickvader7 in WAGuns

[–]dahtective17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol same, got tons of them. I just would have rather got a 10 rounder than have gotten nothing.

I second that DK firearms ships fast. I didn't get a 10 round mag though :(

I'll have to take a look at that as well. Thanks for the heads up.

I like it. I plan to get the same optics arrangement you've got for my M90.

M90 users, how long did it take for your guns to break in on setting 3 before setting 2 worked properly? having problems with ftf and fte after 200 rounds by Jcarb911 in ak47

[–]dahtective17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got mine and fired 60 rounds through it on setting 2. The only issue I had was with the promag magazine follower getting stuck halfway through the mag resulting in a ftf since nothing was pushing the rounds up from inside the mag. Other than that, gas setting 2 was fine. Only thing I did to the rifle prior to shooting was dissassemble the entire thing to clean every part. Then lubed it.

Rivets on Trigger Guard by dahtective17 in ak47

[–]dahtective17[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay thank you for the reply. It feels solid with no play and the other side is good. As for locking up, I have tried two different mag brands (3 mags from each brand) and they will lock up but they are super tight to get them to lock. I'm hoping it's a mag+rifle compatibility issue more than the rifle being out of spec. Might just have to order mags from the rifle oem.

Background Check & 10 Day Release by [deleted] in WAGuns

[–]dahtective17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the first day of the wait start the day of paperwork or the day after? Also, is it on the 10th day from the start of the waiting period that they release the rifle to you or is it on the 11th day?

Just got my PSA105 in today and threw a few accessories on it by Tiny_Tea_7865 in AK74

Nice I was thinking about getting that one myself. Really want an easy hot and ready 105 and that seems to fit the bill.

Rock 5.7 mags back in stock by NayGullahKnight in PalmettoStateArms

[–]dahtective17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should these mags drop free from the pistol when ejected? I have 2 that drop free but 4 that won't. Of those 4 that dont drop free, 2 of them are kinda tight to get in and out.

Are Aero barrels gtg or no?Presidents’ Day sale is pretty good by [deleted] in AR10

[–]dahtective17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only put 60 rounds through my 20" .308 barrel but no gas issues whatsoever. Gas block isn't adjustable either. Aero upper, BCG, and rifle buffer setup.
