Not quite sure when it happened, but at some point I guess I became an Arsenal fanboy...
Just snatched up this nearly new SAM7R - bolt and carrier look immaculate; allegedly it has two mags through it from the original owner who bought it at K-VAR.
$900 out the door. Not too shabby!
After Robs reviews I’m expecting great things I already like the platform better then the many ar’s I have.Keep us updated on how it does. Not a lot of us have PSA AK's.
HahahahahahahaahahhahaHello, Paki tape! Managed to nab a bunch of the stuff from a shop in Kabul, thanks to a buddy in the region there. Have a few more rolls than what's shown here. Not sure yet what I'm going to wrap, but as with most of my AK tinkering, my circa 2015 WASR-10 will likely serve as guinea pig.
The WASR lives with some random parts I had. I managed to wedge a particularly burnt upper handguard in the gas tube. Also picked up a bunch of blanks and a BFA yesterday from Victory Arms in Mocksville that I'm going to try with this thing next week.
Not Paki tape per se, but self bonding silicone tape works great for various things and is good up to 500 degrees F.
It's every bit as ridiculous as it looks.
Copied off @Sniffler and scored a bulged ZPAP of my own. Pretty nice overall; haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Soon. Rivets are 95+%. Same for finish. Bolt has a bit of grit but that should work itself out with use. Wood is super dry - here's a pre-tung oiled and Renaissance Waxed photo...
I like the Yugo grips so that's what I put on. Might go with a leather Romanian sling. Anyone have any decent leads on surplus Yugo slings?
Spot for a QD sling swivel?
Yes on both sides.....funny thing is the akv is stamped steel and the c39 is milled, but they both weigh about the same.On both sides?
Nope, very few RPKs period. Lots of RPDs however. All 7.62x39mmNice!
You run across a Rommy 5.45 rpk over there I'd be happy to send you $, a hacksaw and some boxes.

No issues on these here. Then again any firearm given to those that don't care about them will go down.How are Zastava's wannabe Tapco stocks? Probably a piece of kit we'll never see in the US.
210 rds today out of a Izhevsk 1954 dated AK47. Blue mag wasn't locking in, had to get a file to the mag lug on back of magazine.

Beautiful. What brand(s)/type of x39 did you run through it?
Also ... got a lead on any spare cleaning rods???
