Think I'm still on the order for this, but I'm long past caring and I'm wondering if legally they could even charge me and ship this anymore... been a long time.
Anyway, I'm not holding my breath on this. Don't think it's coming out anytime soon, the hype is long since passed and no new news as far as I know.

honestly if I had the money I'd take it in a second- bump for a nice rifle (even if its a 5 minute bump upon checking and editting)
-
they won't work for standard handguards and the supplied screw is abymsal.
I've broken two of them now, literally keeping them at a tightness that failed while firing, tightening it half quarter of a turn and it broke. A replacement screw from ace works great but no sling hole.
and while I'm ranting it doesn't really look like a galil handguard anyway... due to the gas tube thing.. hate that handguard and don't recommend it or it's retainer.

interesting- but having said that the targets mean very little unless we know how many we're fired at each
-
confused by how your phrasing it, pics please?

Just blew my budget on a draco.... must find a way to afford this
-
My saiga-12 was one of the first guns I worked on- and I didn't do a great job.
After a polish job I decided to open up the ports due to continued failure. I still have no idea what size my ports are, I literally would bring it back from the range and if it didn't work I would open the top of the triangle (3 ports) one more drill size, if it failed again I would catch up the other two ports, if it failed again open up the top one more size, and so on. (3-4 times, can't remember now). I also had to open it up again once more after I got an MD drum
Nothing scientific, but it worked, and many many rounds later no signs of wear or jams..
I can't take credit for it, but a forum member once said he heard of a lot of undergassed guns, but hadn't heard a single complaint of an overgassed one (personally I have heard of it but only under after ridiculous drilling).

My draco's serial is 1968 BH 26xx.
On the norinco ammo-
I didn't try a different mag- loading a norinco round without a mag produces the same result when it comes to sticking (although my lancaster, built on a romy kit has no issues). I'm also limitted to surplus steel mags since the tapco and some bulgarian polymer mag I have will not fit.
On the FTF on the other ammo-
Hand cycling is not a problem whatsoever, but actually firing it causes several jams with the bolt pushing the bullet without clamping it in the extractor claw and the bullet tip sticks on the top of the chamber. This MAY be a feed ramp issue- and my lancaster did the same thing initially and took 1000+ rounds to overcome it fully (none of my saigas or saiga's I've converted have ever had this issue). 300 down the draco now and more to come for sure. I may try polishing the feed ramp.
It's just frustrating- I've seen videos of AKs buried for 18 years covered in rust function flawlessly, and my draco (cleaned carefully before the first range trip) fails on 1/15. I'd find that unacceptable in an AR, let alone an AK.
But whitetrash is right- more rounds have helped, initially it was a 1/6 jam... and it's still fun as anything to shoot. I love it to death but as an AK enthusiast I find failure to be unacceptable. The fireballs are amazing, the recoil is ryhtmic, and the accuracy is superb for what it is (at least based on my expectations giving some peoples critisism).

took her to the range today.. couple fail to feeds but after 300 rounds was noticing improvement. Probably still 1-2 failures per 30 rounds
Failures were either the bolt would come fully forward without catching any rounds or it would come forward and the round would be stuck at an angle entering the chamber. Most unreliable AK I've owned.
Having said that, it was a blast to shoot. I just need to fix whatevers wrong.
-
Thanks for the response. Yup the numbers are matching and its a C. I guess maybe the norinco ammo is a bit thicker? unsure

Well, I just got a new draco from J&G. She looks perty, had a bit of rust in the bolt but fit and finish is great.. Overall very happy
I noticed how nice and tight the mags sat.. went to stick a tapco in and realized it didn't fit.. Didn't bother me, I prefer the steel mags.. So I dropped it a metal surplus and pulled back the handle, let it go, and it got stuck barely out of being fully forward (half an inch out). I had to knock it back with a hammer. So I looked at it, pulled the gas tube off and made sure the piston wasn't catching the gas block, same problem. So I took out the bolt from another romanian ak-47 and stuck it in.. same problem. I grabbed a mag that had wolf ammo in it (instead of the china sports norinco ammo I was using) and it caught just a bit before close and since then has hand cycled beautifully with wolf ammo.. Just not with the norinco stuff. So I tried the norinco in the other AK and no problems.
Long story short- Norinco China Sports ammo will stop as the bolt is about half an inch from fully forward- I can beat the charging handle with a hammer and it will chamber, but requires another hit to pull the handle back again.
On the other hand wolf cycles perfectly.
Whats up?
Secondly on the barrel turion after the Cugir emblem it says 1968 followed by the serial number. Probably a dumb question, but is that the made in year?
Thanks for any input

Oh so a guy with my screename as a real name is telling me my favorite gun factory is shutting down..
that sucks.

noobtoobers lose to flak jacket.. My most common class I have a version with flak jacket and one without, use the flak jacket if noobtoobers are going crazy, makes their weapons useless
Loving this game so far, AK-47, AK-74u, RPK...
They should of replaced the dragunov with a PSL or yugo m76, thrown in a saiga-12 and just called it "Call of Duty: Kalashnikov"

S-12.. Argueably the most powerful shotgun available and the only gun in it's class that hasn't been banned or DD'd- YET
-
Have the mosin one.. I like it a lot
-
WHAT!? NO!!!
Can't believe it... this is the first I've heard...
-
good on the parts count and well over it!
look like good stocks, which do you use?
-
So I pretty much love my .308 and it's almost exactly where I want it (new pistol grip also soon).. but I want to replace the tapco extending stock with a different AR style stock with a recoil reducer in it. The rear trunion is stock 100%, just looking for recommendations on what I should do and how to achieve it.
and yeah the image sucks but here it is
-
Order sent yesterday, items arrived today... Enough said
Spectacular!

heard the rumors about 30-30.. took my friends marlin to 100 yard range.. was suprised at the accuracy, much better then expected. I would be VERY confident at 100, can't speak to outside that range.
-
this has always puzzled me. Due to the low/nonexistant 922r cases it's really hard to know what they will accept/ what they will test for. I'm not sure how they can prove your wood was made in the U.S.
Especially when your not sure what your buying online and the only way to know is to pull in a forensic scientist or something unrealistic.. I mean how does one prove where wood was processed into a buttstock?
As a result of my confusion/paranoia about this I only use wood on AK's that are already compliant, everything else is USA stamped and synthetic (which I prefer anyway).

Meh, my Mosin doesn't have a really usable safety (love it but don't use that crappy safety) and it's not killed anyone (since the ruskies threw it in cosmoline anyway). The user is the guns best safety.
But yeah I've heard about this issue a lot before, but I've never thought of safetys as a replacement for responsibility so it's never been an issue for me personally.
I kind of want to buy a 700 now just to make a point against the gun grabbers.
edit: for the record, Remington should have known someone was going to attack them for it sooner or later and fixed it a long time ago.

If I had the money and I didn't have a few things ahead of it on my list (draco, Dr-200), yeah I'd pay 1000 for that.
New draco... she's picky about her ammo!

bumping my own thread just to ask if I should be worried about the non-chambering issue.. I'll have a picture up in a couple of days. Actually ran a few searches and I can't really find any info on this particular problem. Again the problem is with certain ammo (norinco) the round sticks a few centimeters out of chamber and by sticks I mean it won't move forward or back (without the assistance of a hammer, which will either chamber or extract the round depending on the direction). I have not attempted to fire it having smacked it into chamber. I have only actually fired wolf and Uly ammo (which loads successfully with the above error occuring 1 in 300 with this ammo)
