AK knowledge and help

Not really. I have zero issue with Circle 10 mags and have several, but I won't own a polymer AK mag without steel reinforced feed lips AND locking lugs. So unless Magpul has addressed that issue they can keep them as far as I'm concerned. Combloc steel mags are an excellent way to go, but not the only.

And there isn't anything wrong with your thinking my friend. I have magpul AK mags that have steel feedlips and locking lugs but I have not had a single issue with the non steel reinforced magpul mags either. BTW Titts, there are factory combloc polymer non steel reinforced 5.56 AK mags that are used in large numbers with no issues. In the end its good to have choices right?

While I am ok with the utilitarian triangle side folder on my first AK I kind of want a solid LH side folding stock to match the border guard green pistol grip and and upper hand guard. Any vendors make such an animal? I guess my other option would be to paint one to match but that might not be doable without professional help.

You might have answered your own question lol. You are talking a factory triangle metal stock?

I just own some of everything.

Except tapcos, no real reason. I actually gave my buddy every tapco ak mag I got wheeling and dealing over the years. Phucker got dozens of free range mags off me.

I have seen those but don't have a 5.56 AK so I've never had any and based on what I've seen with polymer mags in 7.26 I'm not sure I would use them if I did. Choices are good, some are better than other.

Being into AKs for the last 9 years or so and prob have put more than 10k rounds thru several AKs I would like to think I can give an experienced opinion. But you know what they say, opinions are like well ya know. Lol

Yea, well ok. Lol, had zero interest in AKs when I was younger unfortunately. Then I got my first and it was all over.

They're like that, not the most accurate, not the most refined, but something about them...

Found this on my phone, me at a PR match 2004-ish...

Good enough combat accuracy, hard hitting round, easy to clean and does its intended purpose well. No complaints from me, in the end its good to have different tools for different jobs.

The 10rd tapco's that I originally purchased for a ks47 build but did not fit, work great in the psak47. I had them in the classifieds here for awhile but no takers and now I am glad. 10 rounders come in handy at the bench as you don't have to have the gun way high off the bench to accommodate those big ol' 30 round bananas!

And even wrong-handed!

it's also good to have multiple tools for the same job! One is none, two is one…. Or maybe 6 is one and anything less isn't trying hard enough?

Good Friday, fellas.

I always snicker when I hear people regurgitating AKM myths such as that they are wildly inaccurate, etc. The AK will absolutely 100% take care of business at typical engagement distances.

Absolutely correct, not as accurate as an AR but not far off. There is a reason why the AK is so regarded around the world by many countries. There are situations I will take the AK, and others when the AR is a better choice.

I also find it highly entertaining to watch the wrong-handed shooter perform a mag change

I'm at the 8:00 min mark......probably one of my fastest mag changes caught on camera

Didn't TF video Anusa doing a smoking textbook AK mag change? Yours was quick for sure but hard to see.
