Great writeup, thanks clammy.

WASR & Draco are like the master race of poorfag AK’s to me, although I’ve never had much experience with any Yugo AK’s and they’re not too far off in price range. Plus being able to get like 1,000 rounds of steel cased 7.62x39mm for like $200 is fucking awesome. I love that ammo and I can’t beat the price.

I’ve seen too many bad reviews on American AKs to invest in any, but there some who swear their US AK is flawless.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

yugo weapons are excellent

id love to have a draco or m92 sbr

as for american aks

a quality ak is 1500 bucks

get a kit and you can assemble one for half that

but americans dont want to pay 1500 for an ak

so american companies have to make 1500 dollar quality guns but only charge 700

its an extremely difficult position

Excellent Sir! Lol, I tell ya to remind me then thunder strikes my lines down... wonderful article! I love and want Kalashnikov nau!

Keeps going under harsh abuse...

Super durable and easy to maintain

My spirit rifle?

Pew pew Sir, pew pew, nicely done! :)

clamhurt_legbeard ago

its an excellent choice

if you only have one ultimate defense rifle

the ak is on the very short list you should look at

everybody should know how to operate one

luckily the ak makes it easy

Nadeshda ago

Nice, thoroughly enjoyed albeit late to the party. Stewpid thunders...

robot7247 ago

Nice write up. I have more AK/AKM based rifles than anything else, maybe my favorite platform.

virtually all warsaw pact and communist nations built them

Damn snarky Czechs!

clamhurt_legbeard ago

lol

ya but when your history of weapons development is as long and stories as czechoslovakia

you get some fucking leeway

they independently invented their own intermediate cartridge too

adopting 7.62x39 and rechambering the vz 58 was as much of a compromise as they did lol

the ak is an excellent firearm

not much you can do to it to improve

even the most tricked out aks are like 90 percent interchangeable with an issue weapon

robot7247 ago

I had a Vz58 w/ single stack mag & butthole stock briefly. IIRC it was called a Tactical Sporter. Great shooter but it only came with one mag and the importer could not get extras. After 6 months of trying I bailed on it. My son just bought a Vz58 with regular magwell, original Vz58 30rd. ones run fine. These are great guns and if I was looking for my first rifle in 7.62x39 I'd likely go with one of these vs. an AKM pattern. It weighs 3/4 lb. less than the AKM and a full 1.5 lb less than a milled receiver AK! Plus, the damn thing is sleek and balances like it is part of you. Honestly it handles like an M1 Carbine. Glad my son bought one (I don't have to.).

clamhurt_legbeard ago

true stuff they are excellent and light

great rifles

AlexanderMorose13 ago

My Centurion 39 Sporter Rifle (the American AK) is one of my favorite range guns. I've yet to shoot it again in about a year, I got two new guns: a custom built AR15 and a new Sig Sauer Springfield XDM 9.

I have a Saiga .308 that is my end of the world gun. It's too heavy to move around quickly, but will go through nearly anything. I have 40 round magazines for it, and I plan to add a few 50 round drum mags when I can afford the custom order.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

saigas are excellent rifles

i turned my bone stock saiga into an ak103

love them

BillyLuath ago

Not this shit again... What's wrong with a rifle you can actually hit what you're aiming at, just because you have to keep it oiled?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

what do you mean

i hit out to 500 m with my ak

thats the limit of the round

BillyLuath ago

I get .33 inch with hand loaded 64 grain Noslers at 100 yards. I can hit crap out at yardages, to boot, all while looking AR15/M4 good.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

sounds good but you didnt answer my original question

BillyLuath ago

what do you mean

That question?

I think I answered it. The AK is fine for Africans and bohunks, but it's not exactly a precision instrument.

It's the Lada of the gun world, I'll stick to ARs.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

it hits a person as far out as the round allows

which is incidentally the same range as the ar you mentioned

what was it you dislike about the ak

BillyLuath ago

The ammo mostly,,, after that the minute of man sighting arrangement, No, actually I don't like the sighting plane more than I dislike the ammo.

Now, let's talk optics, it was invented before optics were feasible, but it's never been fixed, mounting an optic is cumbersome.

Then there's the safety/sand cover, again, mitten headed.

And also there's, that rattle, you know what I mean, it just says: made in a tractor factory.

But mostly, it's the limited sight radius that gripes me mostly.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

i use a kashtan

BillyLuath ago

You don't find range finding with the chevron unintuitive?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

no its fine

and the lines can be used for range finding

plus in reality the first 500 m is just the first chevron

so basically just point the top chevron at the thing you want dead and pull the trigger

its very fast and easy

i have another mount that attaches the same way and you put an aimpoint t1 on it

Crackrocknigga ago

plus its specifically designed to flip sideways inside the target and make a big mess

You forgot the cannular groove and super low drag coefficient that also contributes to this. It creates massive fragmentation and turn bone into powder

Was this a jewish conspiracy on your part to discredit my people?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

7n6 was specifically designed to not fragment

fragmentation was not yet known to be a factor in the m16 and was unreliable with the rounds used at the time

its lethality was attributed to the bullet yawing so the soviets designed the ultimate yaw inducing bullet

it flies through targets as a solid piece

instead it was designed to flip sounds like a ninja star twirling repeatedly and creating multiple wider round tracks

it has a soft lead core that flies forward upon impact to unevenly smear in the empty cavity in the nose

post impact the bullets are often curved like a banana

robot7247 ago

The most combat experience with the round was when the Soviets occupied Afghanistan.

The Mujahideen nicknamed it something like deadly hornet. An abdomen hit might not kill you, but sepsis surely did.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

the poison bullet

its a nasty round

hit you somewhere out to 500 m

and twirls like a nasty ninja star

dont get shot

robot7247 ago

Cheap 5.45x39 ammo cost drove my next rifle purchase when I was offered a smoking deal on 6 spam cans of 7N6.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

6 spam cans

oh thats lovely sir

Crackrocknigga ago

Nice I guess I misunderstood the action the groove does something different than i thought

clamhurt_legbeard ago

youre confusing 5.45 with 5.56

modern 5.56 is specifically designed to fragment after they discovered it sometimes fragmented along the cannelure and caused greatly increased damage

this was discovered decades after the creation of 5.45

Crackrocknigga ago

Since you didn't ban me I change profile description

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dude triggs and i were just fucking around with you

Crackrocknigga ago

I can't trust anyone here sadly I just hate jews and work very hard, 15 hours in the sun today on the pipelines

This place has dishonest people its sad

clamhurt_legbeard ago

were just playing

dont be so serious

Crackrocknigga ago

How do I resign from being mod

clamhurt_legbeard ago

lol

no youre stuck now

Crackrocknigga ago

Andrew jackson and kevdude too

Crackrocknigga ago

I get alts chasing me and people threatening me over messages its just old now I'm getting sick of it nobody wants to actually talk about things anymore just get outraged by twitter i've just accepted the old voat isn't coming back it's depressing to think about the cliques that control speech

clamhurt_legbeard ago

you messed with the wrong cabal lol

Crackrocknigga ago

You guys all have alts I don't honestly so I gave up

clamhurt_legbeard ago

i had an alt

i stole it from a moron

but i gave it away

Crackrocknigga ago

Try having sex to this lmao

https://youtu.be/V-uEGKIyF-s

It's gonna be alright I made 24h of pay today for working 14 @30/hr $1000 plus 250 per diem life is ok today I think

Crackrocknigga ago

I feel better about everything after having sex 15 minutes isn't a record and some weird drag racing anthem came on

Crackrocknigga ago

Lol it helps honestly

Crackrocknigga ago

Yes I saw declassified pictures from Vietnam they hid that fact because they didn't want the public to know vietnamese died bleeding out slowly

The 5.45 I thought was similar but I guess I was incorrect it bends in on itself to become bigger different than hollow point action like some claim.

I shoot .45 for lack of penetration for safety reasons and to stop attackers with heavier bullet. 308 as anti vehicle. Right now 7.62 is my intermediate as a norinco sks but those are more fun than practical with God damn stripper clips

clamhurt_legbeard ago

stock up

7n6 is banned from importation because it has a mild steel part inside the bullet

the atf has declared it an illegal handgun round

Crackrocknigga ago

Atf is criminal mafia. I obey them. In minecraft

I shoot brass cartridges out of my AK, which seems peculiar to most who prefer shooting steel cased Wolf or Tula, and for my expense and effort I’m rewarded with case mouths dinged all to fuck from a violent extraction and ejection cycle. It’s incredibly reliable but I need to get a tunable piston to slow the fucker down. It ain’t broke, so I’m loathe to fix anything, but I just hate tossing away all that good brass

clamhurt_legbeard ago

i just saw an adjustable gas system ak

wonder if that would help

what kind of ak do you have

Battlefat ago

Bone stock older model 106CR. It loves 69gr 5.56 (gasp!) loaded to upper mid velocities and is reasonably accurate with factory steel cased 55gr but throws every other grain weight all over the fucking place. It ejects everything in a high arc 10-12 ft away but not before smashing the case mouth shut on the dust cover lip. There are rubber pads made to buffer the ejection force which slip over the dust cover lip — I have a recoil buffer in place — but they are seemingly always out of stock. There are also some homebrew remedies that include buying a sacrificial dust cover and permanently riveting a firm piece of rubber to accomplish the same thing. Finally, there is KNS precision that sells model specific tunable pistons, but like I said, it isn’t broken and the timing is great and the action reliable. I’m not afraid of it rattling itself to shit, and the NATO round is soft shooting as-is. It just chews the hell out of brass and makes it impossible to reload. Such is life and I’m not complaining...if I decided to suppress it, I’d more easily justify the purchase, but 5.56 isn’t really the tits for suppression. I’m just being cheap and often spend way more for less return, but in this case, I’d rather a $2.50 piece of hard rubber than a $150+ to accomplish effectively the same thing

clamhurt_legbeard ago

wow beautiful

those things are excellent dude

Battlefat ago

Agreed

(especially if it was free)

clamhurt_legbeard ago

UHHHHHH

Awesome, you finally did the AK. It's nice when you do guns that I already have since I don't feel the urge to buy something new. Great read as always. Thank you for sharing.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

the problem is its pretty fuckin obvious i have to do the ar now lol

what ak do you have

i have a bulgarian ak74 kit i turned into an aks74 with plum furniture

and a bone stock saiga i turned into an ak103

i wanted to talk more about the variations but i ran out of time

thedirtypuma ago

I have 2 actually. A yugo m70 paratrooper and a M+M M10 which is a romanian with some fancy stuff on it. I also have a piston AR in 5.45 x 39 which I have not gotten around to shooting despite having it for years.

Somebody could write a long book on all the variations.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

whoa awesome

those yugos are one of the more different variants

no chrome lining

thicker receiver

unique handguard

very cool

my dad has a romanian garda rifle

very cool stuff

Lame.

This is like shouting "I love vanilla ice cream"
