idk about you, but I assert myself when a company decides to change its contract.
I also think I should be able to do my customer service job with an ak on my back. lol

Great ideas! +1 for the TWS dogleg, it is a great mounting solution. I also took off the SVD side rail to shed a few more ounces. I am trying to be as light as possible and was thinking about a primary arms red dot, it is also my economy build. I really like the idea of flip to side scope mounts, I thought those were only on the Eotech's, very cool.
thank you for the encouragement!
there are a couple companies that make flip to side magnifiers [basically copying the eotech idea] but then there is also at least one company that will sell the mounting rings without a magnifier. I have yet to see someone use two and mount a scope.

While I respect anyone who will jump into the fray and do custom work on guns... I think Kalashnikov, were he still a young man, would beat you with a vodka bottle.
It seems you really wanted a rear mounted sight... there's a certain dust cover, with rails, that can accept a rear peep from the same company... under 200 and you have essentially what you've already done.
Idk why you're having such a tough time with making a left side charging handle, but I wish you the best.
Im not saying what you're doing is wrong. I like it. Might not me my style, but I like it. That said, it'd be nice if these rifles had an optionto effectively use picatinny front and rear sights... although, I'm also curious as to why its so hard to find low profile sights.

Hey,
I haven't Posted in awhile but I have a new concept build.
I cannot say exactly all I'm doing ATM. Its legal, but a rather unique build.
I want to make it a primary rifle, the trouble is I also want to be able to Id something at a distance. I've figured I could get a 1-4x scope, but mounting is the problem. I wanted this to be a "no batteries" build, but I doubt I could get around that.
(I'm rattling things off my head, sorry if my thoughts are a tad confusing)
I've looked at all manner of optics mounting on the Ak platform. I don't always need the optics on, because I want to keep irons for regular ranges.
That's another problem. See, I was gonna go with a Krebs rear peep, but then I could get a stable rear picatinny with the tws dogleg.. if I did that I could extend the distance between front and rear sights, and put on the tws peep.
That was my idea for irons... for optics, i thought either two flip to side rings and a 1-4x, or a side rail mount, low profile, that would allow an ace sidefolder to clear.
These are my ideas and im trying to see what would work best. I want a light rifle with optics to come out of this. But if you think that might be asking too much, lemme know. Oh, i also though of a scope on the dogleg with a qd mount.
Im tempted to drop the optics idea altogether.
Just need a little groupthink.

time to write to your congressmen and protest this. Don't think it can't happen. That's what everyone thought when the AWB was passed in the first place. lets get facts out there, and not let these idiots ruin america and our way of life as sheepdogs

I just watched the forensic team pull a loaded saiga 12 out of the trunk of the shooters car from the heli cam live on nbc. it looked unmodified. it had what looked like a standard mag.
Where and who is the guy in the black shirt and cammo pants that was found in the woods?
Some are saying it is a .223, the guy is the brother
I already heard about the .223 stuff. Who knows about that. What I believe I just witnessed live on television was 4 forensic agents photographing a trunk of the black vehicle that may be the shooters. They shined lights on the car after photographing and an agent came over to pick up the weapon and cleared it. The agent removed the magazine and pulled back the charging handle. It looked unmodified. The bolt held open and the agent tried to force the action forward. Pretty typical for someone to do not knowing about the bho. The heli cam went into focus really well and I noticed the unmistakable forearm grip frim Izhmash.
I'm sad for the families and children effected by this atrocity. We need to consider who we give medications to and what we do with them. Nobody is mentioning that psychoactive drugs are used by almost all of these sick bastards.
My eyesight is perfect and my knowledge of different types of firearms is pretty high speed. I hope I made a mistake in what I just saw live on TV but I would not bet that I made a mistake. It was a saiga 12. Thankfully it was not used in the shooting and was found in the trunk. Hopefully it was stolen.

i am under the impression that LWD's conversion barrels allow you to just swap to a magazine of the specific caliber.
Least, that's what I read.
you can go down in size, but not up. SO, i figure any mag should fit.
-
wow, now i actually want that. question, is the fal lower considered a firearm, or for FAL's is that the upper?
Also, idk why some guy warned about catestrophic failure. all its doing is changing the trigger group, essentially. the sks should still fire consistently.

http://www.lonewolfdist.com/UIImages/10000/LWDCatalog_2013_HQ.pdf
Take a little look at their barrel conversion section in Lone Wolf Distributor's 2013 catalog. There is a 9mm conversion barrel they now sell. I emailed them and they DO have them in stock, 124.95 just like most other barrels they sell.
This is fairly neat, as I've been thinking about getting a 10mm pistol, but also wanted a 9mm. Now, LWD sells a .40 conversion [as well as .357 sig and 9x25 dillion] but ive always fancied 9mm more than the high pressure .40S&W.
Anyway,I thought I'd share as I'm sure there are some guys out there that own Glock pistols and have always wanted to maybe shoot a cheaper caliber through their gun.
note: why is this in a Glock 20 significant? Because until now, most people claimed that converting the 10mm to a 9 wouldnt be possible because the cartridge couldnt push the heavier 10mm slide back reliably. Now, I'm sure that you're probably going to also need to invest in a lighter spring but the end result is a single handgun that covers a great defensive round [more power than a .357], but now also fires two of the three most common semi auto rounds, not to mention the two oddballs I listed earlier. There is also a .22 caliber conversion.

I think its interesting.

Oh, such sadness hits me this morning. I decided to click on a bookmarked link to 54r dot net and it was all about mosin barrels..
I have a counterbored rifle...
I am told this shouldnt affect accuracy too much, it just saddens me that the rifling isn't exactly in never fired condition. Overall, the barrel is still fine, but now I know what to look for in the future.
-
sure, i have a few photos posted here and there, but they are few and far apart in timestamp. i dont use facebook to communicate much, and really, its like my personalized hub of news about the world that i give a damn about. Which is either a)gun stuff, or humorous offensive images. Idk why people would put their emails, phone numbers, places of residence, work, hometowns, family...
I mean, I've used that shit against others before as leverage to get them to think about who they were threatening. Too freakin easy to learn somebody's lifestory now. Hell, I refrain from putting gun pics up. Just on the principle.
-
Oh, gotta emphasize something.. it is much darker than the finished product pics lead you to believe. Its a hunter green with a satin sheen. Still, it aint perfect. But im proud of myself
-
If I remember right, 2-3 coats of stain, then 1 or 2 coats of the sealer, then 2 sessions of touching up the faults, then 2 more layers of poly wipe on.
Yeah, I goofed. I was impatient at the beginning but wound up taking my time. All in all, this work spanned from Black Friday until last night. about 6 days i guess. Not bad for a first timer, eh?
-
All Finished.
This pic above is comparing the ready to stain stock and the unprepped handguard after cosmoline removal.
The first couple coats took semiwell. Had bad lighting so i applied the first 1.5-2 coats of poly wipe on without realizing that the stock wasnt finished. No, it was not as half assed as the above. but the pic below was still unfinished.
I think this was before the final coat of poly wipe on after id "touched up" spots with more stain [over 2 layers of sealer already]
The bottom two are obviously the finished product.
...Would be nice if I could have resized the pics on the forum. Sorry, this is cell phone resolution (try telling that to someone 7 years ago.. haha)
I even took the time to adjust the sling so i could carry it slung either over the shoulder, across the chest, or, when aiming, i can comfortably wrap it around my arm for stability. Once it was reassembled, I about cried tears of joy and pissed excitement.
Long time ago I heard a statement: If you can dream it, you can build it.
This is straight out of my dreams. Literally.
Criticize, fantasize, interrogate, or compliment. I'm a fair and understanding gentleman
Also, on a sidenote, I stained the interior of the wood (save for screw holes) and sealed it just like the outside, and when reassembling, I got a very snug fit around the receiver and magazine assembly. Just. Perfect.
-
in my experiences, i have ALWAYS bought ammo for a gun i want to get. once i decide on something, i stay set to it. And its always nice to have ammo at the ready the moment you get the gun

oh, i almost forgot to mention, used minwax pre stain [water based i think, dont know if i shouldve used that or the other one], then cabot natural wood stain
sealing with minwax wipe on poly.
-
damn that's nice. the stock is drying once more overnight, then 2 more coats of wipe on poly, then another 24 hours and ill reassemble it and share all the pic pronz [sorta documented my work]
out of curiousity, should i look into a semi gloss duracoat for the receiver, barrel, and metal parts? im doing it on the next mosin i get [specific things ill be doing] but, well, i guess ill just post up pics before i gather any opinions. id go for a black, if there ever is such a thing as a shiny duracoat. just testing different stuff out. this rifle ive about finished is going to be completed with scout mounted optics.
-
Wait, so you didnt screw it on threads? That might help if you threaded the barrel. For my project i will have to do that.
-
well i wouldnt be cutting anything up or welding anything. im currently working on an unrelated project [the stock to a mosin is being stained and is actually hanging a couple feet from me] but when i get around to it ill make sure to document and share, just in case anyone else is interested in the idea.
how do you mean by "it came out pretty ugly"? just didnt match all that well?

Hey, quick question folks:
Does anyone know for certain what the surplus amd65 muzzle brake's threads are?
https://www.apexgunparts.com/product_info.php/cPath/21_69/products_id/453
i hear the tapco extension on the rifles civies buy are 14x1 LH, and it would seem common sense that the surplus brake is threaded the same, but i do want to make sure, because i have this idea to [oh come on now, i cant tell you that.. nobody else has done this yet.. no its not going on an amd] and with those parts being 10 bucks a piece, i figure i could get a couple of them if my idea is correct.
Thanks.

update:
ive gotten my mind into Millet scopes. I have two in mind for two separate builds im going for.
Keep a look out in the next few months for my name and my puppy's face

And buy the way he only need to polish the face of the bolt and did nothing else,
crikky, is your area full of incompetent fucks who pass themselves off as gunsmiths?
first you take it to one person, he tells you, no problem.
then you take it to another and he trailer park hillbill it and calls it "fix", by polishing the face of the bolt. I mean really, where the hell are you finding these yahoos?
dude, the only way to PROPERLY fix a out of spec (too tight chamber) is to take out the barrel pin, reposition the barrel using a GO gage, then check with a NO-GO, and then re-drill the barrel pin hole to accommodate a oversize barrel pin.
I bet this yahoo didn't even have any gauges, he probably just buffed the face of your bolt and said, "yep, that thar be good 'enuff, I dun fix it"
that sounds like a job that costs more than his gun. if a minor fix is a minor fix, and it runs with no incident thereafter, i would think this OP saved himself some big bucks.
Of course, I'm eager to hear if gauge tells him its good or not.
im also eager to hear how it fires down the road again.

Well, aside from having the finish done, this rifle is ready to go. Ive painstakingly polished and cleaned this rifle.
I even readjusted the front sight to where it should be(appears to have been compensating for the bayonet, but ive got point of aim fixed)
as for my plans after shooting, im going to get a brass stacker scope mount and one of those inch thick recoil pads to boot.
I have a really important delima though. i want to choose a scope but, im having trouble with the idea. I've heard of needing "long eye relief" scopes for these rifles, but most of them are 3-9x and that's just a pistol/.22 scope IMO. i was hoping for something like a 4-14, and found that barska (im a fan) has this:
http://www.shopbarska.com/Sniper_Scopes-4-16x50_IR_2nd_Generation_Sniper_Scope_by_Barska.html
i have no trouble adjusting where i hold my head(buying an amd soon for christ's sake, i dont need a cheek weld)
http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m590/sharpenit/Closeupscope.jpg
bear in mind i can always move the rings closer together and move the scope back, i just dont want to buy a piece of glass and then not be able to use it properly.
Also, while I like the company Barska, if there's a better scope out there with illuminated reticles and similar magnification, im all ears on suggestions.
M+M m10 556 nato
in Other AK Rifles
Posted
I've seen the M10 before. Loved the profile of the gas block. sadly, my pursuit is a 556 ak.... and I already have a 762.
ive seen very few pictures of it, but supposedly there is a 556 version of the m10. I want that gun.
http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/component/virtuemart/shipping-rifles/m10-762-ak47-rifle2012-06-24-08-23-5972990777-detail.html?Itemid=0
Atlantic Firearms has a misrepresented pic of the 762 m10... that's a 556 mag.
their ad is for the 762, im trying to find it in 556.
[note, my reason for liking this specific gun so much is because the front post is hooded, not open. if I can't find this ill go back to my original build and do a saiga/vepr in 556 with a Krebs rear peep.]
