Let's see the AK pics too!!

That's an easy decision, screw 5.56 AKs, commie ammo...commie gun. The day of 9 cent 5.45 are done, a thing of the past, if it was still around I'd have all three calibers. Since it is not 5.56 for ARs and 7.62x39 for AKs, it's just a different ammo can.

At this point I'm just gonna do both. Cause I don't feel like having an AR again. Not that the AR is bad, but I really can't get over the bolt being stuck in the tube (happened too much for me).

Tbh, 5.45 is still available and cheap but not worth it since the 5.45 market is dying anyways. Only Arsenal was importing them after the sanctions, and they stopped importing it. Arsenal in Bulgaria prefers to make 5.56 and 7.62x39 AKs since most of their contracts go to that, and we just get what they want to make.

From what, popped primers?

Popped primers for the most part. The last one I don't know, and didn't care to find out.

Also, the AR doesn't do much for me personally. Already have enough rifles that are different in function, don't need to add more dissimilar actions to the stable unless its something collectable.

I've seen a lot of negative feedback on the C39V1 milled, I honestly love mine, but I want to sell it for V2 so I can put the tacticool furniture on it.

 

[Boboclown]

Just get a wasr and put tactical furniture on it.

One way to tactical out an AK...

ACOG on a TWS rail? Good thing you`ve got a cheek riser!

Zenitco B-33 with Zenitco B-10M... More than twice what you'd pay for the TWS! The ACOG is there for looks, right now its back on the AUG. The PA 3x is what's going on here.

Btw that cheek riser a must have with any wire folder, even with just irons!

 

[Fjordforder]

Wire stock suck. Period. And my choice railed dust cover is the Parabellum Armaments, no issues with it blowing apart like the TWS!

 

[Boboclown]

I'd say the Zenitco is best. If you have the cash, and patience! Took me three hours to put the handguard on.

 

[Fjordforder]

I have a friend in Moscow who gets Zenit for a fraction of artificially inflated US prices. I like it, but it`s a bit heavy, even for me. Weight isn`t usually a concern (or maybe I`m just too stupid to notice?) but that stuff adds notably, even moreso than that MI quadrail on my M10-762 in my pics.

 

[Boboclown]

Mine had to be shipped directly from Russia, and with shipping still cheaper than buying it in the states.

The B-10M and B-33 are about a pound. Don't really need a gas tube rail, so I save weight there. But with the B-33, B-10M, and B-19 the weight would only be 1.1-1.15 pounds or so for the three rails. No idea on the longer rails.

 

[Boboclown]

And a lot of that weight is from the B-33 (top cover).

 

[Fjordforder]

I`ve had good luck with the TDi railed lower as a drop in replacement for the standard polymer or wood. Cheap, simple and surprisingly tough.

 

[Boboclown]

I tried the TDI X47 and the top cover was off center.

Went Zenitco after that since the weight would be similar. Despite the three hours it took to install, its become my favorite aftermarket furniture for the AK.

 

[Fjordforder]

Pfffthahaha

 

[Boboclown]

Could just use the B-10M and save a lot of weight... But I figured might as well get the B-33. That way I still keep my rear sight.
