qwerty53 on "Question for Arsenal SGL31 (AK-74) owners about loose muzzlebreak"

qwerty53 — Tue, 29 May 2012 09:59:17 +0000

Hello,
The SGL31 arrived yesterday. The muzzle break is little loose. I can easily move it back and forth with my bare hand.

Do you have the same experience?

Thanks.

Buying guns from friends is always better than buying guns from strangers!

If its in good shape your not getting raped at $600. If its a friend that needs some help your killing two birds with one stone. Does it come with any extras? How many mags?

Hi AK talk, Im a navy vet, that got introduce to the wonderful world of firearms about a year ago when my friend took me out to shoot his AR15, next payday i got an FNX9 next one after i got a Bulgarian AK-74. That was when i lived in Washington State, since then i moved back to my native Puerto Rico, and let me tell you getting the guns here was a pain since criminal activity is one of the highest in the hemisphere. Anyway im looking forward to learn a lot from you guys

I took a sling swivels and mounted them toward the back of the receiver. I had them on hand so it was free. The metal was tough to drill.

I thought this was a pretty neat idea of a hybrid receiver that hellbox armory is selling... I've always wanted a VZ-58. But it would be ever better to build one myself. :-)

APEX has at the moment some parts VZ-58 parts kits for pretty cheap.

I figure it was my being a computer nimrod. Where is my nine year old nephew when I need him?? I have that electrical aura that stops the best Casio watches and makes the Timex auto winders over-wind.
I got accepted by my gun club. Went out shooting my Tantal and got the barrel broke in with repeated cleanings and sort of sighted in the ball park. I had a great time and happy to report that the rifle performed flawlessly for 200+ rounds.
The side folder is a little short so I installed a Tapco composite side folder and it fits like an old shoe now. Will get back to the range soon. Pics are stuck in there somewhere. I'll send them when they show up again.

Shepherds_Hook_47 on "CA Legal AK-47 Magazines....."

Shepherds_Hook_47 — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 22:06:46 +0000

I just wanted to share with yall a few CA legal mags you can get.

MitchelArmory.com has several options for the AK operator that lives in CA.

You might want to check them out.

They have:

AK-47 10/30 magazines

AK-47 10/30 Magazine

"This is a 10rd magazine that is the same size as the 30rd. (called a 10/30 Mag).

The AK-47 10/30 magazines hold 10 rounds of 7.62x39. They are made specifically for our friends that live and shoot in California. They are made from the parts of a 30 round Thermold magazine. You pay for the magazine and the extra parts it takes to make them. If we add up the money and time its takes to make them, we actually make less money off of the 10/30 magazines than just selling a regular 30 round Thermold magazine. We do it so our friends in CA will have good magazines to shoot with while being legal at the same time. Conversion Info: “MA 10/30” Thermold AK-47 magazine has the super hi-tech Mitchel Armory proprietary round reducing insert that is permanently fixed inside the magazine to conform with California law."

AK-47 10rd heavy duty metal mags

AK-47 Re-Build Kits for your old warn out Hi-cap mags (or to make 10rders out of)

And if they don't have them in that section but have the mag you need in the store then when they see the CA address on the order they will make it a Re-Build Kit for you at no extra charge.

Hope this helps.....

Shepherds_Hook_47 — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 20:09:36 +0000

Good Question Friday1. I remember when I first started reading about AKs and I wondered the same thing....It can be confusing when gun people write like everyone knows what they are talking about....I need to work on that myself.

PSL

In Romanian: Puşcă Semiautomată cu Lunetă, or "scoped semi-automatic rifle" is a Romanian military designated marksman rifle. It is also called PSL-54C, Romak III, FPK, FPK Dragunov and SSG-97 you can get them chambered in 7.62x54Rmm and 7.62x51mm NATO which is (.308 Winchester).

For more info go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSL_(rifle)

Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FN).

FAL

Fusil Automatique Léger ("Light Automatic Rifle") or FAL

They usally go together to make FN-FAL

"The FAL was predominantly chambered for the 7.62x51mm NATO round, and because of its prevalence and widespread use among the armed forces of many NATO countries during the Cold War it was nicknamed "The right arm of the Free World"." For more info go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_FAL

AMD-65

(Hungarian: Automata Módosított Deszant[fegyver] 1965; Automatic Modified Landing Assault [weapon]) is a Hungarian-manufactured variant of the venerable AKM rifle for use by that nation's armored infantry and paratrooper ("descent") units.

Basically a Hungarian AK-47

Here in the US we can get them with 16in barrels imported by Century Arms International. The only draw back to them is their muzzle brake.. makes them very loud

For more info go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD-65

IIRC

IIRC - If I Recall Correctly.

SAR 1

WSAR1 Romanian AK47

For more info on the WASR series rifles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASR_series_rifles

W stands for "Warsaw-Pact" More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Pact

SAR 1 Cal. 7.62x39mm

SAR 2 Cal. 5.45x39mm

SAR 3 Cal. 5.56 NATO (.223)

milled

Stamped and Milled AK Receiver Identification

http://ultimak.com/AKReceiverID.htm

de-milled

Means "de militarized"

de-milled when referring to an AK means 3 cuts through the receiver and sometimes the barrel.

Quotes: "de milling is a barbaric practice by our Gov't on poor defensless historical relics!"

"De- milled means De gun has been De stroyed..."

"De-end!!!"

Hope this helps.... sorry it took so long.

Being a newbie to AK's it is confusing to someone still on the outside, what all the abbreviations mean. Here are some I have not cracked yet:
PSL
FN
FAL
AMD-65
IIRC
SAR 1
and what is milled and de-milled referring to? There are more abbreviations but these I wrote down just yesterday. Thanks in advance, Friday

Shepherds_Hook_47 on "1911 Grip on a Glock?"

Shepherds_Hook_47 — Tue, 31 May 2011 02:12:38 +0000

Hey I found this the other day... pretty neat product. Now all my friends that use the 1911 have no excuse not the enjoy a glock with its double stack mags... :-)

I love the 1911 grip but I am right at home with the glock grip to. But for some to shoot there best they need the 1911 grip... here it is...

Does anyone have one of these? How has it been working for ya?

Thanks

http://www.gripforceproducts.com/GEN_3.html

The GRIP FORCE product line was designed for the Military, Law Enforcement, and Civilian shooting communities to offer a way for them to improve their shooting grip, and maximize their control over their pistol.

The GRIP FORCE ADAPTER was developed with input from some of the industry's leading trainers and pistolsmiths. It is designed to fulfill the wants and needs of shooters who prefer to have their GLOCK pistol conform to their hands better, and index on target in a more efficient manner. Intensive testing and evaluation with shooters who prefer the 1911 weapons platform, and shooters who prefer the Glock weapons platform, yielded results which were utilized in the design of our GRIP FORCE ADAPTER.

GRIP FORCE ADAPTERS were engineered using state of the art computer-aided design (CAD). Utilizing solid modeling capabilities and 3D scanning of select

pistols, GRIP FORCE ADAPTERS were developed to provide shooters the ultimate in control, comfort, and protection. GRIP FORCE ADAPTERS provide improved grip texturing, and an enhanced grip tang area with longitudinal supports molded in for structural integrity. The GRIP FORCE ADAPTER can easily be installed or removed from your pistol without permanent modification, or any damage or marring to your GLOCK frame. GRIP FORCE ADAPTERS can be fit to the pistol's frame in a semi-permanent manner for hard duty use.

Shepherds_Hook_47 on "The Ratchet Charging System ????"

Shepherds_Hook_47 — Sat, 28 May 2011 05:25:32 +0000

The Ratchet Charging System was designed by Ethan Dublin of "Dublin AK Systems".He seems to be a pretty neat guy. His website says they will be "Accepting Orders Soon!

Send an email to http://scr.im/2afz if you are interested in a pre-order." I might have to get one and check it out.

I was wondering if any of yall had one of the first Gen models? If so what do you think about it??? Do tell.........and with pics or it didn't happen!

Check this out:

http://www.dublinaksystems.com/rcs2ndgen.html

The Ratchet Charging System

THE NEW 2nd GENERATION!

The Kalashnikov does not get simpler then this! We guarantee you will notice a decreased reloading time due to a more natural manual of arms.

RCS 2nd GENERATION Upper Charging system for Kalashnikov Rifles

Machined on the best CNC machines, this package contains everything necessary to convert a standard Kalashnikov variant rifle into one with a non- reciprocating forward charging system. This item replaces the original gas tube with a new one that contains a new charging handle and slide. The new charging handle protrudes from the left side directly over the forearm of the rifle for easier and less troublesome charging. The pre existing charging handle on the right side is now unnecessary and can be discarded to eliminate all exterior moving parts. All hardware is included. No gun smithing required. MADE IN THE USA.

Guaranteed quality, all of our parts pass a fit and function test before they are made available for purchase.

Advantages when compared to original charging system:

Non-reciprocating handle

Allows for faster reloading due to less hand manipulation

Easier function for a right handed operator

Quicker cooling

Unproblematic reloading when firing from the prone position and or around barriers

Unlike other left sided charging systems, with the Ratchet Charging system you can use your left side optics rail and it does not open up your critical trigger components.

The operator no longer loses sight picture or situational awareness while loading

Easier to clear miss feed or jam

Built to outlast the life of the firearm

Built from the finest metals and long lasting black matte finish

Self cleaning design allows dirt and debris to easily exit the gas tube.

If original charging handle is removed:

Safety can be engaged when chambering a round

Eliminates all exterior moving parts

We make it easy for the operator; installation takes minutes and does not require a gun smith. This part was made to outlast the firearm. We guarantee you will decrease your loading time. The key is giving the operator a charging handle in a natural location (on the forearm) decreasing the amount of hand manipulation.
