Reminds me of this Krink build swissfag posted to try and “own” me in one thread (yes, he thought this was a flex LMAO).
>>
>>64885031
Yeah. This rivet here is way undersized, you can see its the same size as the 5mm axis pin. This head in particular is only marginally bigger than the shaft (~4mm) A properly expanded head should nearly double the shank diameter. Just look at its size compared to the other rivet
>>
>>64885061
What happens if the rivets are undersized like that? Does it compromise the integrity of the reciver or just the trunnion?

There is greater risk of the the rivet becoming loose because there is less "head" keeping it clamped in place. Once a rivet becomes loose its liable to shear off and/or stretch out your receiver as it bounces around the hole under recoil. I also seriously doubt that any of those holes have been dimpled. Pic rel shows what happens when you stick a regular rivet into a dimpled hole. Something similar happens when the head is undersized

>WBP
Always seemed expensive for what you got, at least PSA guns will last way past 10’000 rounds even if they’re cheap ass nitrite barrels wear out. One of the things that bothered me about WBP was them saying “the service life of the rifle is 5000 rounds” an AK should WAY outlast the barrel life and Micah Mayfield‘s video showed his still running after 13,000 rounds. One of the reasons I bought it over a WBP and rielly defense’s AK74s.
Here’s my hooptie rifle. I buy PSA stripped guns and put the furniture and triggers in myself, it’s about $200 bucks cheaper than buying a fully assembled rifle. Used parts from AoA for the dust cover, trigger and selector, (required a little bit of hand fitting but what guns don’t?)
Anyway yeah here’s my poorfag 74.
>>
>>64885137
>perhaps I treated you too harshly
At least you have a "crappy" 74. I don't even have that, I have to envy yours.

I like it pretty good, occasionally it will stove pipe once in a blue moon, but only when shooting 7N6. My guess is because PSA under gases them from the factory so they shoot better. They probably used 60 grain wolf as the test ammo during R&D. Soviet era ammo definitely less consistent than modern ammo, part of the reason OG AKs are so heavily over gassed, allowed for more deviation in powder consistency/weight.
That actually makes me think, our overgassed guns a thing of the past? Sure having a non-adjustable gas block is cheaper and makes sense for a mass produced rifle and on a combat gun you’re generally going over gas to be on the safe side. But with as good as modern ammo is in terms of QC and consistency is it still necessary to have AK levels of gassing, especially with suppressors? Also ask this question because the VDV have complained that their new AK-12Ks with suppressors are way overgassed and it causes reliability issues at higher uncleaned round count.
Anyway plum is a definite vibe though.

>>64885288
>run the fuck outta it
Bhahah good fucking luck. I bought one of the 102 builders kits. It made it 1200rnds before it started having some serious fucking issue that would deadline the gun and require disassembly of the bolt in order to remediate, after which it would only fire 10-15 rounds before the issue cropped up again. Pieces of shit toys. You ain't gonna run shit. Pretty well documented but something wears or shifts, headspace maybe getting fucked, and it starts blowing bits of primer into the firing pin channel which then seizes up the firing pin until you disassemble it, but then it just happens again. Well documented issue with the 5.56 PSA shit AKs. Sent it back to PSA... and you know what they did? They took like 70 fucking days because they re-barreled and redid the headspace by going through a box of random bolts and trying until they got one that passed. Absolute insanity.

PSA is shit. WBP is shit. ISD is shit, Nova Modul is shit. IO Inch is shit. Riley is shit. Pioneer is shit.

Zastava and WASR/ROMARM Cugir are acceptable.

Century didn't end the deal with ROMARM, it was a contract negotiation issue on price per unit that was resolved like a year and a half ago. They're still being imported last I knew, and I can't find anything saying that they aren't being imported anymore.
You can even check their import documents, they last had ROMARM imports in December 2025. For reference to compare, their last import from Nova Modul (company that makes the 9mm "AK"s like the WASR-M and Draco 9S) was November 2024, and their most recent import of Canik pistols was January 2026.

Stupid? Probably. Some people don't do it because it takes extra effort/tools. PSA didn't with their initial AK runs. The Zastava was dimpled but the rivet was loose so it sheared off

This works for the front trunnion and fixed stock rear trunnions but you still have to make a support block for underfolder/sidefolder rear trunnions because its possible to bend/break the wings off if you don't support the back side. I made a mini jackscrew out of a bolt for mine. The thin metal might bend before the dimpling occurs if you don't use a support

That's not even an excuse because I did it with a harbor freight drill. He's gotta be doing things with a vice or an air hammer because my dumbass is doing things better with chink tools. Wrong rivets too. Those are supposed to be counter sunk holes and it looks like he's put regular non swell neck dome rivets in there. You can tell because they're below the surface of the rail. Very interesting discoloration happening on the rear trunnion too.

Cope damage control because there ain't a way in hell their nitride barrels and non true forged components are making it 50k... In fact we know from legit military testing that nitride barrels depending on firing schedule will give the ghost up anywhere from 10-30k.

This is bait but I'll bite. ISD Bulgaria is a bullshit commercial spec shop making AKs using who knows what parts, but we do know that they are NOT the same as Factory Circle 10 Bulgaria Arsenal. The same way that WBP just pretends to be legit by virtue of being European and in proximity to the legit Polish Circle 11 FB Radom factory, ISD Bulgaria is relying on dumb casual reddit scum to be like oooh it is made in Bulgaria is must be good!

WBP DOES use nitride barrels on some of their guns by their own admission. That point has SOME validity to it, even if Wuggy is using it to move goalposts away from his false claims about cast parts.
The product listings on their own site say the 5.56/5.45 rifles and the 5.56 pistols use nitride barrels, every single one of the models offered. The 7.62x39 rifles and pistol are generally the exception because they use FB Radom produced barrels, which is why they're chrome-lined and the others aren't. The only 7.62x39 rifle that isn't chrome-lined doesn't mention FB Radom in its description as well.
You can check yourself, pic is all of the nitride barrel listings edited together and labelled with the product name so you can cross-reference them. It's on every 5.45 and 5.56 gun, and one single 7.62x39 gun.

Finished up work until the Groza parts get in. Either the gas tube or hinge block is way out of spec.

It isn't as bad as that reman'd crap. Don't expect Barnaul or Wolf performance or consistency, but it's better than the bottom of barrel shit. It shouldn't matter in your gun, since 7.62x39 barrels are almost never match spec, and 7.62x39 isn't high pressure to begin with.

>>64894012
>Bought the cheapest new WASR on gundeals, will I regret buying it without being able to inspect it first?
Excellent choice. Inspect it at your FFL BEFORE you do the 4473 and if you’re not happy with it send it back. Cugir improved their QC about a decade ago so you should be g2g. The boomers that bitch about WASRs being shit are the ones that bought pre-2016. Recent WASRs are good.
Where did you get it from, and how much did you pay?
>>
>>64894318
Guns2U I think? Ended up about $860 shipped. Hurts because I know they were readily available for ~$600 pre-covid, but it's the cheapest non-domestic AK I could find now.
>>
>>64894485
that's a good price, all things considered. As the other anon said, inspect it before signing anything, but you'll probably be okay. If it's the cucked version with a welded muzzle device, you can dremel those out really easily without hurting the threads or the barrel.

$860 is good for a new rifle. Budget another $150-200 for surplus romy furniture, the shit it comes with is garbage. Let us know if it comes with a bayonet lug and a cleaning rod.

>>64894671
Didn't check any pawn shops, but the price I paid shipped was $50 over my LGS distributor's cost, before retail markup and tax.

Update: WASR arrived earlier than I hoped. Has bayo lug, no cleaning rod. Brake is not welded. Good riveting. Rail looks straight. Magwell seems machined properly, snug with an included US Plam and no wobble. Will test with bugly steel mags when they get here, but I'm optimistic. VERY slight clockwise cant to front post, barely perceptible, shouldn't be an issue to zero at all. Stock looks unfinished and will be replaced asap, but I'm pleased. She's coming home with me.

Don't bother with the furniture it came with - the plastic is junk and the wood is basswood which is cheap, soft, and not durable. Get Romanian surplus furniture, it's not too expensive.

Thanks man. Having a hell of a time finding any nice sets in stock that aren't pushing $300-400, I'll keep looking though.
>>
>>64895516
>$300-400
All these years later I still have the surplus laminate that came off my early 2000s WASR, that I no longer have. I swapped it out for Tapco originally, got tired of that and bought plastic crap from Kvar, when all this time, rifle was fine. I keep fighting the urge to spend $900 on a WASR just so this furniture can have a home to rest.

Went looking at some off the beaten path places, but no joy.
Saw this on Combloc market, still less than $300.

I got you boo boo. Northridge is waaaay out of the way but they're legit, I've bought a few things from them in the past. Anyway here's a set of Romanian surplus. To echo what you and the other anon are talking about, it's weirdly hard to find right now. Every few months Arms of America gets a crate in though and always has some. But for right now:

Dong (just dong, upper handguard can be found many other places but not here apparently)
https://www.northridgeinc.com/product-p/ak47-romlhg.htm

Buttstock (does not have sling swivel or butt plate but those are easily sourced)

see 64884130 Just compare this rifle to one he posts nowadays. Even after he had it rebuilt it still had the wrong scope rail rivets for awhile.

A lot of his guns have this weird crease mark, probably because he warps the receivers. >>64888240 The rifles he posts now are clearly different.


He wanted attention/clout for building until people started critiquing him, now he claims to have used "a good builder" even though there is incontrovertible proof of him talking about building it himself>>64897550

why did you go through the effort of milling off the bolt and trunnion serial numbers if you were just going to use the wrong receiver. Why not return it and get the right one instead of screwing things up so badly you had to sell it to a Mexican out of shame?

First of all, I didn't mill off the bolt serial, I milled off the carrier serial, and it was to force match the serial, which is a common practice for various builds. Why don't you post some of your builds?

i just wonder what kind of lifestyle these namefags live as most namefags on /k/ seem to have an ungodly amount of money *and time* despite constantly posting online and spending thousands on guns and gear.

I love guns and /k/ posting but I genuinely do not have the time to do all of this Hoplifiel tier gun posting and spending but maybe that's just because I have a wife.

>>64901555
I think a lot of the youtubers get their shit either loaned to them, given to them for review, or use it and sell it off after they're done with it.

I made my own bolt on trigger guard. This way I can easily swap between the Groza latch and the regular AKM trigger guard. Otherwise I'd have to chop the latch portion off and rivet it in place permanently.

Hopefully the plate won't interfere with the Groza trigger linkage. I have no Idea how STINC is going about the FCG.

Basically this. A lot of them don't make much money. Instead they use sponsorships, youtube revenue, and ammo deals to subsidize their hobby. They get loaned guns and ammo to make a review but after that they sell it off or send it back to the manufacturer. Hop and Brass facts did a video about the economics of gun tube operations.

Good purchase, but check your barrel when you get it so you know what you're in for with shooting it.

Need bayonet experts help, looking for a 6×5 bayo, but I'm seeing different names such as 6h5, 6×5, M83/85, and Type 5, which is the correct term?

:(
>>
>>64905274
6x5 is the most "correct" for the specific bayonet you're after.
All of those mean the same thing though, just different ways to get around the language/alphabet barrier.
>6h5
The symbol for the "h" sound in the Russian alphabet is х, it's name (like "bee" is the name of the symbol b) is "ha." This name is a product of non-Russian speakers trying to replicate the correct sound. You might also see 6Kh5 for the same reason.
>6x5
See above, but with the proper symbol instead of the sound for smoother reading by non-Russian readers identifying it in Russian-language material.
It's the exact same symbol x as we use in English, I've never seen the unicode multiplication sign used for it until you right now.
>M83/85
Date of adoption/production, not really used in Soviet or Russian sources, used in Western descriptions mostly from what I can tell.
>Type 5
That's what the 5 in "6x5" means. It's the 5th bayonet in the series of AK bayonets.

When all the BS going on in ukraine is over, do you guys think ammo prices for 7.62x39 and 5.45 will drop down again by at least 10 or 20 cents? I know we'll never see it for $4.99 for 20rd again or anything like that, but i desperately want to add an ak74 to my collection.
>>
>>64905545
No
Russian ammo imports will take at least 25 years to even come back, if they ever do. We don't have Perestroika and Glasnost goodwill anymore.
There might be a bump of surplus ammo from Ukraine itself surplussing in the immediate end, but it'll dry up relatively quick and what there is anymore is a big chunk of NATO cartridges that were given/leased. We won't get back that 40% of the ammo market that was Russian imports very easily, so 5.45 is going to stay where it is now for the most part, which isn't awful (like 55cpr? for corrosive Tela) but not great either.
7.62x39 will come down a bit with Balkan ammo (PPU primarily) being redirected to the US though, expect that to come a bit closer to where it was.
The only thing I can think of that would throw a wrench into this prediction is if an RU company full sends on import-washing their stuff in Hungary, Cyprus or Mongolia or somewhere else like that to get around sanctions, which I think is rather unlikely.
>>
>>64904418
MY NIGGA!
>>
>>64905578
I figured. I dont think the import bans will ever truly go away. The same way the chinese ammo never came back. I was hoping more along the lines that once the war is over, all the countries like Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, and the Balkan states would be able to sell more on the open market for imports.

>Bulgaria issues 7.62x39 rifles primarily and only really does 5.45 for contract export sales to governments
>former Yugoslav states never produced 5.45 because they never used it
>Ukraine's ammo production facilities are either geared for 5.56 (in the west of the country) or controlled by Russia
One of the factories that made the old Red Army Standard ammo is in Luhansk, in the Donbass.
5.45 is on life support unless a miracle happens (namely, stateside production both of-scale and at a good price, which won't happen).
7.62x39 should improve a good bit, like I said before.

As I feared. My hope was that at least they would still have the tooling and such for it and would at best be able to just make it for shits and gigs for either the US demand, or for the few places outside of russia that still use it. It's seeming like 5.45 is will go extinct soon enough. Us production would make it not even worth shooting with the price, id surmise probably like at least $1 a pop. US made 7.62x39 is basically cheap .308 price.

I'll realistically probably just shoot off the 7.62x39 I have an strip the paint off the rifle and just keep it as a collectors item, sadly.

ngl aesthetic and fun build. Sorry about the zeroing issues. Happens. Not sure what the best course of action is, but I definitely support getting it working. Also find a steel shorty mag, the magpul one is killing the vibe. But fun gun dude, will be cool to hear it with subs.

>remove the trip
I've maintained this for like a decade now. Anon's that get buttmad simply and solely based on the fact that some anons decide to trip have their own unresolved ego insecurities (like a tranny). Unironically like an angsty mad middleschooler that can't stand that someone else might be so optimistic and spiritually positively motivated so as to actually try to answer questions in class or actually try to run hard in gym because of their own sense of self shame at their own fear of actually trying honestly at anything.

>but fuck me, the barrel is not in the same axis as the receiver i cant zero it at all
An easy way to check if the rail is level is to drop a caliper off the edge of the receiver. The distance from the receiver top to the rail should be roughly equal at the front and and end of the rail. The exact measurement doesn't really matter so long as they're within a hundredth or so of each other

If its super off they'll have to remove the scope rail and re-rivet it so that its parallel with the barrel. One or two of the holes will have to be welded up and redrilled. Also look at the clamp for the PSO. Are there any burrs or damage on it?

>>64907975
"They" never stopped selling WASRs. Atlantic has them for $850 right now, in stock.
Where is this "WASRs aren't getting imported" shit coming from? That's two people who've said this here with no proof in like a week. The only thing I can think of is that Century renegotiated their price per unit in 2024, but that was less than a month between end of old contract and start of new one with no interruption of imports.
You can literally check Century's import records yourself, they had a massive import from ROMARM Cugir approved in December 2025.
>>
>>64907925
I’d stick with Zastava, myself. They still seem good to go.

>>64907975
Wasrs are still available for less than either of the options you mentioned earlier. The WASR is uncontroversial and available. If you can't be fucked to do any research get a WASR, otherwise take your questions elsewhere because this place is a shithole full of retards

If you're able to find one that looks decent and is decently priced, let me know. I've seen surplus ones that are really just beat to crap or absurdly expensive.

thanks, aint she a beaut' ?
did not find some cheap steel mags atm, but i figured the magpul should do the trick for prone shooting

>>64907088
sadly, the rail is not the problem here
the barrel is pointing to the left (should not be surprising for a romanian gun)
i might just swap it (at a loss - putting back the original rear sight and furniture) but choosing one where the barrel is colinear with the rail
see picrel

>>64908202
1,8m is the average height of an adult man. Not sure why some have 1,7m but probably some hunting regulation. Some you'll see with 1,4m rangefinder references and that is for hunting. Specifically the height at the shoulder of some species of deer they have in eastern europe they hunt a lot of.

>>64908529
What distance are you attempting to zero at? Did the scope come with a manual, etc? The PO 3.5x21P that I have requires a 100m initial zero for the bdc to be accurate, and those scopes often have an extremely huge degree of adjustment in the turrets. Hundreds of clicks in either direction. Might equate to 1cm at 100m. Maybe count how many clicks till you get to mechanical zero both ways and then go back to the range. Just something to consider, Also, is the clamp completely torqued and secured to the firearm? There should be a retainer plate at the bottom of the assembly, remove that and tighten the lever till it is firm, then reattach. There are videos explaining that if needed. I wouldn't give up just yet.
>>64908529
That looks to be within the typical tolerances of an AKM. I'd think you'd have had a catastrophic failure by now if the barrel was canted that severely.

i didnt shoot it yet with the scope
i tried doing a pre zero with the laser bore sighter, at 5m (inside the house) and 200m (neighbor wall), the laser dot of the bore sighter is always in the region from my pic
the same dot is coherent with the iron line of sight
i cant even walk the reticule to this position, so assuming the bore sighter is mostly correct, i cant zero the scope

i adjusted the clamp tension before trying to zero, to the point where it is slightly harder than i like to open the lever (both my m76 were easier)

rifle is safe to fire, the iron works as they should, a red dot sight (with an adapter) works fine, but i just dropped some money on a scope that i cant use, hence im sad
>>
>>64908765
That sucks. I'm still not entirely convinced that its the rifle that's off. I take it you can't mount the scope to any of your other rifles?

Have you checked the front trunnions alignment in the receiver? If you take the lower handguard off does it look like the trunnion sticks out or is recessed on one side of the receiver? That's the only other thing I can think of. I've had Romanian trunnions that had the rivet holes drilled crooked so one side wasn't flush with the front of the receiver.

Is the rail flush with the receiver? Sometimes the center support rivet underneath is a bit too tall and it cocks the rail off to one side. You shouldn't be able to see daylight or fit a piece of paper underneath it
>>
>>64908765
I mean... Verify it with live ammunition. A laser isn't a completely reliable substitute for live fire. The diode could be slightly off center from being loaded into the chamber. Do that first then determine if the scope has a problem. And figure out where the initial zero is supposed to be. It's not a red dot, if you don't figure out where the initial zero should be the whole scope and all distances are not going to be accurate. Invest the time to learn about the scope and do it the right way the first time.

WASR is always the correct answer
The parkerizing is ugly but effective, just take care of the gun and it'll take care of you, oil it sometimes and it'll last longer than you do. It's a gun, not a wall ornament, it'll get dinged up and that "shit" finish will both look far better and be more durable than a more "pretty" painted gun when the wearing starts.
>>64910947
You did fine, price isn't the worst I've seen and it's the Romanian one so it won't kill you
Shoot your guns, anon. Fullsize dracos are one of the more "fun" guns in my experience when braced/sbr'd.

Google dot com, there's a bunch of import data aggregrate sites. Phrases like "Century Arms import data" or "Century Arms import documents." Most of the sites have login walls and/or paywalls though. I referenced importinfo dot com for the dates in that post, they state Century's last import from ROMARM was approved for entry to the US from port in December 2025 plainly without a login.
US import data for "who/where" is generally public because it's the government (excluding .mil or .gov contract imports), but the specific contents and specific people's PII are usually withheld.

Never listen to this guy ever again. I tried to check my rail by dropping my calipers from bench height and they are fucking broken now. I don’t even know what that was supposed to tell me. Was i supposed to count the seconds until it hit the ground??? I cant count that fast… Fuck you idiot
>>
>>64913041
Cliche as it sounds, try things on scrap wood (same species and treatment as your stock obviously).
For what it's worth the shellac wont affect the stain below. If you are concerned about color then go with clear shellac. Zinsser works fine for what I've done.
Not that you're cloning a Serbian/Yugoslavian rifle but if you wanted a nod to them, they didn't shellac their wood at all. They used hardening oil like Boiled Linseed Oil.
>>
>>64913268
This has to be a troll, no one is this retarded.
He told you to take the caliper and measure the distance from the receiver rail (the one the bolt carrier rides on) to the top of the scope rail in a few places (that should be equal in distance like the top of the dovetail at the front and rear) to see if it's straight.
"Drop" meant to lower the caliper off the side to measure, because the scope rail is below the receiver rail, not literally drop the whole thing on the ground.
