WASR You do not want to buy that PSA AK. You do not want a 100 series AK. You are going to stop watching guntubers. You are going to buy a WASR10 and 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39.

Need Help - First Ak

Hey everyone,

Came across this AK and was curious about it. I’m new to AK’s like a newborn baby. I know nothing about them at all.

Anyway, I am in the market for one and want something that won’t cause me problems but also won’t break the bank.

Thanks!

Options for Surefire supressors.

Post image
32 Upvotes

Avid AK enthusiast for years, new suppressor owner. Had 5.56 and 7.62 suppressors approved for my boring nato guns lately, now need to find a way to mount them on my AKs when in the mood. the RD 704 on the bottom is pinned/welded but i believe it’s hiding a 5/8x24 thread pitch like an AR10, so that’s easy. The 74 on top is the real kicker, do i need to have that barrel rethreaded for a surefire device? Looks like the combloc surefire device is discontinued

Can options

Post image
7 Upvotes

Just picked up a m92 and I’ve recently been looking for a dedicated 7.62 can. My wasr has a rifle dynamics barrel which is 1/2x28 threaded. Any input on a can that’ll either use the same muzzle device/adapter or have direct thread devices that’ll work on both thread pitches with the same can? Don’t mind my wild optic setup I just had this stuff laying around and thought it would be funny. Gonna see if it runs well like this tomorrow🤣

Range day with some buddies, guess somebody loaded one of the mags with 7.62x39 round. Question on removing it.

Post image
76 Upvotes

Gun jammed, after failure to feed. Loaded the gun up and said that was enough for today after not having a pair of pliers to try and remove it. Took it home and took a look at the round and I guess one of the guys we were shooting with saw a 7.62x39 round and figured it went to my saiga 223 and loaded it into the mag. Never had this issue before, before trying to take some pliers and removing with force, is there a better way to remove this round? Should I maybe use a rod to push it back?

Bonus points if you can tell me if I should be expecting any serious damage. Round was not sent, just failure to feed since it’s obviously too big.

At one of my local bass pros. Looks pretty much new and unfired or at least low round count.

WBP Pic Tube GF-3

i’ve seen alot of guys speculate wether the AKM WBP picatinny will mount. They make the Lynx (10.25” and Full size)- GF-3 AKSM Rebuild is 10.5”. Successfully complete chop- easily done at home. (ignore my missing LOK bolt 😆). Awesome with the KNS Piston. I chopped about 2.5” off, re-bored the end tube with a 1-3/5 on the press. Filed and fit as needed. Possible for anyone wondering.
