  1. I would email the importer with those pictures and go from there. That may not help much, as I have owned this rifle for a couple years and it is a RAA import. I would have an AK smith look at it. The worst case might be the barrel gas hole is too big and would need to be welded up and redrilled. If you have the tools and know how, it might be a cake walk for you. Hopefully, your gas block is pinned and not secured on by dimples.
  2. Most other weapon platforms I read about were in the 5000 round limit. He has not reached that point so if it is not overgased or a defective spring then maybe a pressure peak issue of the ammo. If it was ammo that peaks later than mil spec ammo, then I would suppose it could be the ammo, but I would have to think the Wolf ammo makers would have their pressure peaks correct. With the .308 saigas, I am really surprised this does not happen more often because plenty of the ammo people use have varying peak levels and as with M1 garands or M14 types and hunting ammo that does not seem to work f
  3. Yes a .243 Win model. http://www.izhmash-arms.ru/eim/imp/239.html

  5. Looks like excessive wear to me. Either too much gas or worn out/defective recoil spring. What brand and weight of ammo has the majority of your shooting been? What about for the last 500 rounds?
  6. ok while they are staying if it holds a magnet placed on the tip, you can not shoot it. Most recently imported 7.62x39 ammo since the mid 1990s usually has a steel thin jacket material NOT THE CORE.. The US Federal government does not allow steel core 7.62x39 ammo to be imported and so no distributors would have any. Unless you happen to have bought some old 1990s ammo, there is zero chance your ammo has a steel core. A magnet will stick to the steel jacket which is why many range employees are often not the brightest people. I can't begin to discuss how many range employees tried t
  7. This is very good to know. If the factory fits a longer Russian handguard in Russia and exports it to the USA, the shorter USA made one can be tightened to fit with a shim placed between the forward handguard steel prongs and the inner retainer. A piece of sheet metal can be cut to fit for this application.
  8. Pulling both in a single synchronized two finger pull seems difficult. Thats talent right there.
  9. How are you managing to launch both barrels with one trigger pull?
  10. The big online suppliers are mostly sold out lately. It is either too much demand not met or too little supply making its way to the good ole USA.
  11. Is the jacket thinner? Are the cuts there? Is the cavity the same depth? No cuts, by both visual and probe checking. Same checks against my old stock of MC found them. Depth appears about the same but the tip hole is smaller. Same 124gr bullet weight. Have you tried shooting water containers to determine any kind of terminal performance indication? Nope, just arrived this week and no time to get out for testing. Of interesting note, Tulammo (out of Round Rock, TX) now has both 122gr and 124gr HP product offerings. Just put 1K of the new 124GR HP on order this morni

  14. Not any more. Military Classic from WPA no longer has the 8M3 bullet. According to whom? Dealer/distributors and the order I just received. Something that might not have even been considered before is that maybe it is an improved version of the old 8m3 that works even better. It is odd that it holds the same 124 grain weight which has been distinct to 8m3 since it was first imported. Wolf Black box hollow points have been 122 gr Bear hp 123 gr Anyone have some of the latest edition of mil classic hp to check for the jacket cuts?
  15. That is the same ammo that is used in the hog hunt on this thread. http://www.texashunt...opics/1890654/1 It was also sold in white boxes with blue trim as seen in this picture above the bird and another version of it as military classic hp. It is the most lethal 7.62x39 bullet design that has been imported from Russia. The bullet enters flesh and quickly explodes open. The closest US equivalent is the Hornady plastic tip ammo. I tested both out on milk jugs http://www.youtube.c...u/0/mhyZ9ZoPJ90 Shot 2 is the sapsan aka 8m3 you posted a picture of. Shot 3 is hornady Horna
  16. Does anyone here work in or know of anyone in the imported ammo business and why there has not been very much arriving from Russia lately? Sometime back a few years ago the rumor was plenty of ammo was routed to the middle east to supply the war effort, but now that wouldn't make sense anymore.
  17. Wolf black box ammo is a different grain weight and different bullet design. The Mil Classic camo box has the same bullet. As far as accuracy, the same identical bullet should behave the same in various loadings, but the powder load would be the greater defining factor. For accuracy, you want a powder load that produces the same pressure curve every single time and the the same exact muzzle velocity every single time. Sapsan might have been loaded x-amount of pressure and x-amount of velocity. Wolf Mil Classic camo box might have been loaded with a different powder load that produces more or

  20. Yes, the ATF considers any direct attempt to lessen the noise even by 1 decibel as NFA territory requiring a tax stamp. A longer barrel will not only keep the blast farther away from your ears but will also absorb more expanding gases and reduce the overall muzzle blast. This is the only method that is free from legal implications. As a reference example of this method. www. metrogun .com Question: Is Metro Gun legal? Answer: Yes, the US Government agency, USDA, uses the Metro Gun System for nuisance pest-control as do several other agencies. This gun system has been cleared
  21. Noise suppressors are legal to own with tax stamp paperwork.
  22. Upgrade the barrel and headspace it as tight as possible. A match grade bull barrel like a douglas air gauged with a slower twist rate and a premium crown. Match grade ammo with bullets that actually match the exact bore diameter. I had posted up a thread sometime back about someone that did this and his first 5 shot group was under an inch.
  23. Try firing a Ruger Alaskan .454 with full power loads at an indoor range. It will probably make you forget how loud your AK is. I shoot the 7.5 inch barrel version at a local indoor range with mid level loads and that has caused the range to evacuate fairly quick. I want the snubbie version even though I know it will get much louder.
  24. It does not increase the overall sound energy. It just redirects hot gases like a jet engine closer to your ears. The whole point is it is there to keep your rifle on target when rapid firing or full auto.
