I was driving my newborn daughter to McAllen for a doctor's visit. First heard about something happening when I parked the car and noticed people freaking out I walked into the building and saw the 2nd plane hit live.

Undecided. But glad it's back up.

I check in daily, but don't post unless I have something to share.

I use CIP gauges.

Nice rifle. I picked up a similar rifle at a pawn shop in vg condition. Out of paranoia, I decided to upgrade the bolt on mine after acquiring a set of headspace gauges. Mine would not close on "go". While some think thats great, at least it closes on a live round, I wasnt thrilled about it. Too tight a headspace can lead to an overpressure condition, which can lead to other issues. I could be wrong, but that may be the reason why so many people are claiming premature wear of their rifles. I was able to acquire an original 1960's Polish milled bolt and it headspaced perfectly. I shoot it and clean it regularly now with no reservations about a possible issue.

Pics please.

Ok. Finally shot it. No explosions and the bullets went exactly where they were supposed to go. I was careful though. I sandbagged the rifle and reached around a piece of plywood between me and the rifle in the event that it went kaboom. Anyway, before going out the ranch a surplus 1960 Polish milled bolt in the white that I was able to locate on gunbroker finally arrived. Since I had all my gauges with me, I decided what the heck, let me check...and guess what PERFECT FIT. Closes on GO with only a few pounds of force and doesn't budge at all on the NO GO. So I took both with me and tried them both out.
So now I've got two functional bolts along with the original. I decided to keep the surplus 1960 in the rifle since it seems to cycle the smoothest of the three.

Yes, headspace was performed on fully stripped bolt. WBP is an AK manufacturer in Rogow, Poland. Not sure exactly what WBP stands for. Weapons Built in Poland???

Just a brief update. Been shooting the rifle and still no issues. However, after reading on all the drama surrounding the bolt and headspace on these rifles,I decided to invest on a WBP replacement bolt and a set of cip gauges. I noticed some rather interesting things. First, the rifle will not close on a "go" gauge using the original bolt. Hmmm....ok. secondly, the replacement bolt was too large so I had to adjust it to fit. 9 hours later, she finally closed on "go" with pressure. It's nowhere near closing on the "no go" so all is right. I now have a replacement bolt if necessary.
Now here's what I find interesting. The bolt face of the new bolt sits deeper than the original. This translates to a significantly less sloppy fit of the bolt when locked. Even though the old bolt is too tight to close on "go", it wiggles a heck of a lot more when closed. I'm wondering if this slop coupled with too tight a headspace is why the original bolt developed the step on the right side locking area? That basically the receiver lug cut into it due to slight misallignment and fit? What do you all think?

Played with a 19x yesterday. Its nice, but I prefer a gen3 17.

Not the same rifle. The one in the video was a left handed model.

As usual, lots of misinformation out there. Typical liberals taking advantage of a situation, and typical republicans also. I'm not sure what the hell to do about these sort of things because nobody sure as hell gives a rat ass about the larger number of murdered kids in shitcago over the weekend. It's pure liberal reporting and hysterical hypocrisy. All I know is banning all firearms hasn't stopped more than 60,000 murders in Mexico since 2010, nor put a dent on inner city crime all over liberal controlled parts of the country.

Ive also got a 556 and an adapter, but i never bothered to install. I run it with surefire mags.
-
I'm not really interested in threading this one. I like how compact the whole setup is. I might however add an ak gastube so I can run a midwest industries quad rail on it and add a foregrip and light.

I guess I never told you guys, but I ended up getting that rifle for a little over $400. Converted it quickly. Ill post pics later.

Did someone superglue the liberals to their chairs? They cant seem to stand.

I submitted my 2 cents. Its not right to just sit back and let them take one thing away after another without saying something. I even told them to focus more on the rights of the poor folks stuck in states that have made gun laws ridiculously strict.

Just peeked at it in the safe. Still intact! But seriously, I don't shoot that often anymore due to work and family. If it really starts to concern me, I'll sell it. Really sad though....I wanted something replaceable to shoot instead of my Saigas. Something US made. But I guess the US has yet to figure out the AK.
-
Yep. Definitely gotta keep an eye on it. Haven't had the opportunity to shoot much lately, but I am keeping a round count since I purchased it. At this rate, I'LL reach 1500 in about 40 years!

Mixed...your conclusion makes sense. On another note, I decided to cover the finish wear with a sharpie to observe wear firsthand since the bolt already had the wear showing when I acquired it. I'm curious to see how many rounds it will take to start showing the same wear again. Also. I had a friend of mine with extensive manufacturing and fabrication experience look at the step on the bolt and he thinks it may not have formed, but was actually built into the bolt at the time of manufacture to facilitate bolt to receiver lug engagement. But since I've never seen a virgin bolt, I can't verify that. Anyone got a non fired C39V2 laying around to examine?
So who here, from the old days...

I still peek in at least a few times per week. But ever since the ban, I started collecting other AK's and of course whatever pawn shop Saiga's I can find.
