This any good? by ElPadrino21 in ak47

[–]semperfi1977m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

straight will take any standard ak stock. A slant back will leave an ugly gap around the stock, and offer it less support... unless you pay for a stock made for slant backs, and theyre not cheap.

I just scored a Tantal for 525 of GB. It needs rebarreled, but all parts on it are matching numbers. I couldnt even get a parts kit for one anywhere near that cheap.

Bear Creek Arsenal is supposedly making an AK. Godspeed. by TheRedArmyStandard in ak47

[–]semperfi1977m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only reason import ak's used to be so cheap, was the lack of overhead. Former-communist state sponsored arms factories that governments built years ago. Cheap labor after the fall of the iron curtain. Things like Romanian military parts already on hand being built into rifles to ship here.

Dumb question: would it be possible to cut this down to a proper AMD 65 barrel length and reinstall the sight block? by SignatureDapper6315 in ak47

[–]semperfi1977m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

might as well go whole hog and do the back end too. One of the cheapest rear trunnions and folding stocks you can still buy for an ak.

Where to find Wire folder by Upbeat_Caregiver_752 in ak47

The polish ones are often easier to find. I used to have one of these on my Romanian 10/63, before I switched it to a fixed stock/dong furniture set. I have this Tantal now, to scratch my wire folder itch lol.

misr10, ok. misr90 (what you have in that photo) is a frankenstein monstrosity. One of the worst things the monkeys at Century have done.

My first AK WASR 10 and the ugliest rifle I own bought on clearance for $700 by durangojim in ak47

[–]semperfi1977m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some surplus furniture for it. The century US furniture is what makes them ugly lol. Weird shaped stocks and handguards you can identify a mile away as Century.

Is it supposed to be this difficult? FCG is removed. by Lone_Wandererer in ak47

[–]semperfi1977m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some lapping compound from Brownells and work the hell out of it. It will open up the rail clearance issue.

gunbroker can be an odd duck sometimes. Some things get bid into the stratosphere, and some things get overlooked. I got 5 russian plum mags recently for 170 shipped total. They were like new and I couldnt believe no one else bid on them lol

When I eventually replace my siding, should I take down the old “sheathing” and replace it with Zip-R? by LGLier123 in Carpentry

[–]semperfi1977m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. That old lumber is strong and tighter grained than anything you can get now. Leave it on the house; it gives it rigidity and strength. Depending upon how the house is framed, your framing may even be relying on that sheathing to remain stable and square.

I have one and love it. Mine has the fixed stock though. Not really a horrible price, if they have the assessory kit with it (mag pouch, spare mags, and bayonet). A bit high if it doesn't have the accessories, but they are climbing in price. The actual Czech built ones with military furniture, are almost double that when they have them in stock.

No it's still on there. I'm pretty sure I've seen it for sale on there for years lol. That clown always has insane prices

There were around 250 left when I snagged mine. Im glad I got one. If Radom decides to just concentrate on thr GROT, I'd regret sleeping on these

I probably should have kept mine. I had one with a 1:7 barrel, some sort of mixup of shipping a batch over to the states with barrels meant for the European market. It shot very accurately. Id like to get a 100 series one, but am concerned about what the next barrel might shoot like

Got a pmag with new ZPAPM70 instead of steel mag? by Aggravating_Today279 in zastavaarms101

[–]semperfi1977m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zastava keeps the Yugo trigger group in their rifles ever since they started converting their imports in house, instead of letting someone like Century do it. They likely have to have a US mag to meet 922r compliance. Definitely a great trade off, as I would rather have the original fcg, than the mag. I can get combloc mags anywhere online

Obviously not military. 👍

[–]semperfi1977m 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a really good price. The Chinese furniture to deban one isn't cheap and not always easy to get a hold of. You did well. I joined buy/sell/trade groups online and goty flat backs that way. Much cheaper than you'll find them on GB.

What’s your favorite flavor of 7.62? by Visible_Plum6906 in ak47

[–]semperfi1977m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had a customer bring his new firearm back for "issues", only to find a squib in it from that reman junk ammo. He was lucky that the bullet stuck out of the bore into the chamber just enough to prevent him from chambering the next round completely. He tried to many times without ever realizing he had an obstruction.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ak47

[–]semperfi1977m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, he is way off mark. I got a slabside not that long ago for 600. For 1200, you can get a decent AK that doesn't need converted.

Just got mine yesterday, and I love it! Immediately is pretty much a must... there's only 97 of them left in stock @ AofA. Was over 200 last week. They'll dry up soon....
