AR15 classifieds - safety off

[Mikej]

Maybe we should talk about thinking before posting, now there's something NEW to talk about.......or am I being "petty"?

This forum doesn't really tell people "Do a search, that's been discussed already" without answering the question. That's a good thing! God forbid we require people to THINK before they post.

I'm a clown. If you really want WWIII to start you let us clowns start thinking.

Something tells me the OP is like "God, why do people keep posting and bumping my thread back to the top. Can't it just fade away already?"

I just looked around and there is ammo but no rifles. Ouch

There are still 5.45 AKs available, but mostly the Arsenal SLR-104 series. Just a month or two ago I bought two 5.45 AKs:



Both new, SLR-104UR and an import-banned Molot Vepr no less. K-Var managed to find some stock of them hidden around somewhere.

I still think there is a lot going for the -74 platform, including the "krink" type Arsenals. I also have a Rifle Dynamics custom RD503 Classic in 5.45 on order.

5.45x39 is trending ~$0.22/rd and is still quite available. Only a little bit more than 7.62x39 at ~$0.20/rd. Cheapest 5.56x45 is ~$0.28/rd, although you can get .223 Rem steel cased for $0.20/rd.

I looked on KVARs website and found none. Maybe they're just in really short supply.

The website is not the most straightforward, but it seems there are still some:

• Arsenal SLR-104UR (SLR104-51) 5.45x39mm Caliber Rifle (with Krink Gas Stamped receiver)
  
• Molot Vepr 5.45 16.5 Folding Stock Rifle
  
• Or if you like tax stamps: Arsenal SLR-104 SBR 5.45 x 39 mm Rifle

Its not that they aren't there as much as its just stagnant and not likely to come back... Arsenal in Bulgaria seems to favor making 5.56 and 7.62 AKs, since most of their contracts are for those. K-VAR just "finds another crate" a lot.

CAI can ask for whatever they want from Zastava or Cugir, but Arsenal USA just gets what they can get.

 

[Glock Jock]

Not cheap, wow.

 

[Boboclown]

Arsenals were never the cheapest AKs... After the ban on Russian AKs the AKs haven't been doing well as far as prices go.

But as far as 5.45? I don't know. If CAI were to ask for some from Cugir then maybe, but CAI isn't likely to do that anytime soon. In the mean time 7.62 is still kicking, and 5.56 is still there.

 

[Glock Jock]

I got an Arsenal thats really nice and no it wasn't cheap. Not sure if the safety works though, I've never actually used it. Lol

 

[Boboclown]

Well, I know the safety on my wasr works. I know it because my friend's cat wasn't able to shoot the dog.

I liked it better when it was 9 cents a round.

How did this go from safety to AK74? Not that I mind the drift, I still have 5 tins of 7N6 left from the old stockpile.

They let a clown post is how.

One of the popular features of this forum is the classifieds.
I have bought and sold a few items here.
I have noticed that a great many of the AR's listed for sale, have the safety selector switch in the "fire" position.
I try to be safe with my firearms. If I'm not going to shoot right now - then the safety is "on".
I'm not trying to be petty - But, there is a limited amount of things a person can talk about concerning shooting. However, an accidental discharge may abruptly end all talk forever.

On a milspec AR you can't put the selector on safe when the hammer is forward. Many folks store the bolt forward and hammer released in which case you cannot make the selector safe.

When taking pictures of my rifles it being on safe or fire is a decision based entirely on whim at the moment of taking said picture. Its more of an aesthetic thing, and most likely the person taking the photo made sure the magazine was empty and that there was nothing in the chamber.

I did not realize that firearms are "whimsical" items to be played with?
