Gotta get some AK stuff going

We have got to try and get more interest in the AK platform! ;)

I got the receiver in day before yesterday and got it built yesterday. This build went like silky clock work. All 30 some magazines fit perfect. I changed out the grip and barrel nut to get my 922 parts and it's all good. I cycled a magazine through it and it picks up and ejects without a hitch. I need to go shoot it now then get the parkerizing tank going. :)

I'm with you.!! Gonna post some pics of mine when I get home. Just refinished the stock too.

Bill, that's awesome.

Nice to be in a free state again, eh?

It's looking very good.

Very nice looking! After my first day out with my new RPK, I am seeing why the AK platform is so much fun.

This is Vlad, just refinished the stock about a month ago, I was going for that Russian red but couldn't get the mix right but I think it turned out well.

I built the pistol with some leftover parts I had except for the piston. I made it from stainless.

Sweet.!! Lovin the pistol, who needs sights when you have 30rds to sling...

You would think it came with back pack mounted fuel tanks!

We took Christine's new Polish AKM to the range yesterday. It shoots awesome! We shot 90 rounds without a hiccup, feed or eject problem. The sights were spot on also! And she looks so good holding it! Perfect shooting platform ;)

Yeah. You see the big flash really well at night.

It's a fun toy, but that's all. I don't know if it would hit a barn door at 50 feet.

Well...you could keep trying...mag after mag...

Hello,

This is my kit built Hungarian AMD65. I used a Novak receiver. Watched several videos several times before doing the build. Had it Duracoated black. Have since added a stock accessory which allows for a good cheek weld. All of my steel Euro magazines fit and feed well.

Not gonna lie bro,,, that backward pistol grip looks goofy!! The rest looks awesome, really like the flash hider...

This is one of my favorite AKs for plinking at the range. I really like the 5.45x39 cartridge.

This one was built from a matching kit and still retains the original finish on the metal (not receiver) and furniture. They must have just cut-up brand new rifles and sold them off as parts kits. I purchased 3 just like this one back when they were inexpensive and came with the original barrels.

Warpig, it is referred to as a reverse donkey appendage ;)

Roger that,..:)

:thup: :rofl::rofl:

The "reverse donkey appendage" goes the other direction so that the underfolder stock clears it. Mine is the regular donkey appendage. ;)

This one is not mine, but here's what the reverse looks like...

How about some less common Kalashnikovs...

Here's a Finnish M76 with the tube folding stock. The tube doubles as a storage compartment for the cleaning kit. This was made by Valmet back in 1986 and is chambered for the 5.56x45 round.

Now that M76 is sexy.!!! The Finns have a way of improving everything it seems...

They sure do! All of my Finnish rifles are great shooters.

The Israelis copied the Valmet and made some of there own improvements, like the upturned charging handle so you can easily operate it with your left hand.

This one is a Galil 329 chambered in 7.62x51.

https://www.milsurps.com/images/impo...6683a6dd-1.jpg

And here it is with an original quick release mount and Trilux SUIT optic. It looks a little strange, and it's heavy, but it works surprisingly well.
https://www.milsurps.com/images/impo...cb22a4e7-1.jpg

Here's another uncommon one... the Norinco 86S. Not sure how many were imported before they were banned, but I think the numbers are less than 2000 total. This one happens to be number 159.

https://www.milsurps.com/images/impo...b6cb25b6-1.jpg

Here it is next to some other Norincos (56S-1, 84S-1). It's short!

Why do I think at same point your gonna show us one those Gold plated ones African warlords like to tote around...;)

:lol: Unfortunately (fortunately?), I don't have any of those in my collection.

Another great Kalashnikov rifle....the Romanian PSL54C chambered in 7.62x54r.

https://www.milsurps.com/images/impo...925addf3-1.jpg

The top one has a Russian 8x PSOP optic instead of the standard issue 4x Romanian TIP2 optic. Both optics are crystal clear, inexpensive, and built for war.
https://www.milsurps.com/images/impo...cbe6c61d-1.jpg

These rifles are pretty impressive in my book and can be quite accurate with the right ammo. Here's my best group with the PSL. I was pretty excited about it and had to record it with a photo. Haven't shot one that good since, though! Typically, the 5 shot groups are more like 1.5 MOA with Czech light ball.

Most of the silver tip I know of is light ball Russian or Bulgarian or Czech

Yes, light ball, ~148 gr. FMJ BT projectile

bxn is the military designation for Sellier & Bellot

OK, S&B Light ball. We see it around here quite a bit...
