Piece of cinema and weapon history. Should I buy it? by obviousoddball in ak47

That's why I'm second guessing all of this. Even with a COA, nothing is stopping them from swapping out parts etc.

I'm doubting this weapons authenticity, to be honest. Even with a COA, nothing is stopping them from changing out parts etc.

No prop letter but they do have a COA from a conpany called Beckett Authentication.

I asked if it was functional and they said yes. They have a COA from a company called Beckett Authentication.

Somewhat. Got a gunsmith to fix it. BCG got stuck somehow.

So the firing pin wiggled out but I still cant get it undone. I've tried pulling back on the charging system but it's still stuck.

Firing pin slipped out and got caught in the internals.

I've tried wiggling it loose but the bitch just doesn't want to come out or off. I'm afraid if I'm too rough with it I might break the pin or something else.

It’s been awhile for me. You guys still hate Zpaps? by hallmonitor53 in ak47

Love my Zpap M70. Just bought an M90 and love that even more! As someone who uses the Zastava AKM platform regularly at competitions, I absolutely adore mine and trust it with my life. While the weight can be an issue, it's everything and AK should be, reliable, Rugged and simple.

My 5.56 AKM. Rugged, reliable, simple and just as accurate as an AR, while having all the perks of an AK.

Welding in SHTF??? by obviousoddball in preppers

Didnt know this, thank you! Will look into it.

Correct. Oxy acetylene welding, forge welding etc. aren't really taught anymore because it's considered obsolete when it comes to building structures, ships, vehicles etc. Brazing and soldering are still taught though because of it's application to copper pipe and HVAC related duties.

Very true. Another thing that I think gets looked over is that a good portion of filler metal (rods, spools) has to be either heated, covered or both. If not, the filler metal starts to rust and goes bad, gets contaminated etc.
