Sounds like kits to me.I aint never seen 3 assembled AKs not run in my life.i have 3 that arent running at all. wanna help a fellow slAKer out?
Nice AK. The mag conversion is a good idea.I took a Saiga 223, had a friend mill the magwell and installed a MSA AR mag adapter in it. It ran great with wolf soft point, but when I fed any hard point or hollow points through it, the rounds on the left side of the mag would periodically hang on the side of the chamber. I took a good look at the chamber and realized it wasn't chamfered. It seems the early 223 Saigas don't need chamfering because the feed angle of the mags do all the work and line the rounds up perfectly. Not so much with an AR mag and adapter. The kick was that I had put almost 500 rounds of soft point through it (The only type of 223 ammo I had) and deemed it reliable. Turns out the soft point would hang on the side of the chamber but then because the tip was soft, it would deform and make its own "feed ramp" and go ahead and feed. The problem wasn't detected until I ran some "social ammo" through it and started to get FTFs. My dremel-fu is strong, but I pussied out when it cam time to grind on the chamber, so I just took it up to my gunsmith (Willis Arms) and let him do it.
Now it is just as reliable as any of my other AKs. I originally wanted an AK that would run AR mags to give me another resupply option during SHTF. The AR crowd says if SHTF and there are AR mags laying around, then there will be AR Rifles laying around as well. That may be true, but I wanted something that I could beat the hell out of and it would still run. As it turns out, the little woman shot it and fell in love with the lower recoil, so it got re-tasked as her go-to rifle.
This is THE AK section.Dont edit your self here.We aren't easaly offended or whiney like those other guys.Just realized this was in a club section and not just an AK section, my mistake.
My problem: no tools of my own.
My solution: you need to move to BR.
I've got five friggin AKs in the works right now. Never did I expect this crap to be so addictive!
G kit x3,, virgin Krink x2
Im almost done with all of them

Thats a idea.Maybe a pistol based course set up a little larger/longer with AKs.Organize a PIN shoot!! talk amongst yourselves,.........AK's only.....I feel like we need to do something even if it's really stupid,.....
