AK 47 Show and Tell

[KokomoDave]

It is by the old garage / refueling station on E. Markland. There is a SOT FFL located there. It is a machine shop i.e. Moonlight Gun Works at 924 Millbrook Lane.

Cool, did a nice job. I’m too much of a coward to paint mine. Lol

I did a sample run on my Bubba SKS. I’m confident enough now to do it on mine.

BFPU Galil SAR. All the classic, old school vibes.

 

[MongooseLaw]

Just a WASR 10...she shoots nice, a few small upgrades but I also have all the Romanian original furniture when I want to go old school.

Just picked up a “used” Pioneer Arms Sporter with forged trunnion.
Since I’m not planning on firing 10’s of thousands of rounds, I think it’ll do.

I want a AK74m, but realistically I'll end up getting a KR101 whenever they release. I think a fullsize 100 series in 22cal will round out the capabilites of my current century series.
*Not pictured KR9.

Random pickup at a LGS I hadn’t visited in a few years. Ban era Wasr 3. Came with 2 steel mags. It was tapco’d out so I threw on some spare furniture I had laying around. Not sure what I want to do with it quite yet. Hopefully it runs without any issues. Price was more that right so couldn’t leave without it. What’s one more right?

 

[KokomoDave]

Yeah, what's one more? I say that about ex old ladies.

WBP 556 Jack. Before I change the outside up. Inside sporting a KNS piston. Mo betta that way.

Getting some trigger time on this Galil SAR. Really digging the historical Israeli markings.

Mine was all over on ejection and the accuracy didn’t line out until I did the adjustable gas piston.

All day banging steel at 1-2-300.

It's definitely gassy. Spits cases about 20+ feet, consistently at the 2 o'clock position. I run KNS pistons in a few AKs and ACEs. May give one a shot for this at some point.

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

Mine still cycled shut completely, turned it up a tad to get a nice pile of ejection.

Did a quick function test on the new wasr 3. Both steel mags fed just fine, as well as an izmash Bakelite 74 mag. Didn’t have the mags loaded to full capacity, but happy with how it did. I have a boat load of 74 mags, so if a few run reliably, I’ll be happy. Circle 10 556 mags fit ultra tight, almost having to force them to lock in, decided it was best not to try them out. Save those for the arsenal soley

Traded the Saiga I've had listed in the Marketplace for the last 10 months for a crates worth of 7n6. Now I won't feel quite so bad shooting my 74.

Factory 539 is Tula Cartridge Works. Good stuff right there.

1981 production too. I've never had a failure to fire from Tula, Barnaul, or Vympel

I've had a few issues with more modern commercial Tula, as well as commercial Vympel, but the old milspec Tula 7N6 is fantastic.

From what I’ve heard, the Romanian 5.56 guns were designed to use a different than normal magazine. The East German “Weiger” mags to be specific. I’ve read the AC Unity are workable too and they are metal reinforced and not crackhead prices like the circle 10’s are.
