    Going Away from 6 ARC Suppressed?

    The rifle and barrel that was developed with the 6 ARC ammunition was made with a rifle +1 gas system for an 18" Proof barrel. Why you would want to go shorter gas system when they spent all the time and money for development?

    Gunsmithing Aluminum to steel bonding?

    As far as I know you cannot tig weld aluminum to steel, or weld any ferrous to non ferrous metals. I could be wrong but I have never seen it done or heard about it before. I know there are some different solders out there that may allow you to solder different materials to each other. The bond...

    New 7.62x39 akm47

    The case dents are pretty common for the platform. The Finns used to have a clip on deflector but they are impossible to find now. I have toyed with the idea of trying to slit some rubber vacuum line and stick it on the dust cover to see if that would work. I just haven't gotten around to doing...

    Need some troubleshooting help: Bad Gas Block or Out of Spec Bolt Catch

    I haven't had issues with the gas tube roll pins or the hole for the pins. I was talking about the actual internal diameter of the gas block for the barrel journal. So the barrel has a .750 journal and the block might be .753+ I had one that I measured .756 on the block and the barrel was .749.

    Need some troubleshooting help: Bad Gas Block or Out of Spec Bolt Catch

    I run the Aero adjustable on mine. No issues for me. I was surprised that it fit fairly tight to my barrel. It seems they tend to run a little on the larger end of internal diameter. That means a poor gas seal in most cases and could be the cause of some problems.

    New to AK47s and want to learn

    His GF5 seems good in the mag fitment. My other friend with the KUSA has good mag fitment too. The issue with the KUSA was all mags were hard to push in to the lock point. The catch was a little long. I did the file and test fit until all the mags styles I own locked in correctly. Now it works...

    New to AK47s and want to learn

    One of my friends has a KUSA and it's been good to go so far. The only issue it had out of the box was mag fitment. The mag catch needed a little file work and it solved that problem. It feels like it is gassed correctly. I did a little action and trigger work to make it somewhat smoother...

    Need some troubleshooting help: Bad Gas Block or Out of Spec Bolt Catch

    I was asking to ensure the bolt catch was functioning correctly. A weak spring under the catch could contribute to that issue. I would assume the rifle is short stroking. I run the A5 on my 6 ARC with a 20" Proof and same VLTOR upper. I ran is prior with an A2 and rifle buffer. It locks back...

    Need some troubleshooting help: Bad Gas Block or Out of Spec Bolt Catch

    If you manually cycle the bolt with an empty mag will it lock back like it should?

    New to AK47s and want to learn

    My most recent AK74 build I ended up doing the combo gas block front sight, shortening the barrel to 14.5 and the rifle balances so much better than a stock AK74 or 100. I added one of the Russian or Ukraininan rubber butt pads to the triangle folder. It adds a little weight to the back of the...

    New to AK47s and want to learn

    I have the KNS on all of my AK rifles. The one that probably didn't need it is my most recent Russian 74 parts kit build, but maybe because I shortened it to 14.5. The Bulgarian barrels are over gassed in my opinion for the 74. The KNS helps a lot with tuning even the non suppressed rifles. My...

    New to AK47s and want to learn

    The hold open is only with the Yugo type mags or followers. As soon as you eject the mag the bolt will close. The Zastava rifles are heavier than the AKM or AK100 type rifles due to the thicker receiver and RPK type bulged trunion. If you do want to make changes the Zastava rifles are Yugo...

    Rifle Scopes Tossed an ACRO on my NF

    Most optics have an offset on the AR platform. Training and learning your offset isn't a big deal. It depends on your zero for the optic, but knowing you have a x" offset is a non issue with some training.

    Magpul MOE PR Stock

    Get some adhesive backed velcro strips. Cut a small piece on the soft side and stick it to the top of the buffer tube. It will get rid of any slop and rattle. Makes the stock a little stiff to adjust for a while but it works.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    They announced a new 2 stage trigger for the AK platform at Shot for $400....So I guess $100 6 ARC mags falls in the new premium G pricing category.

    Convert 40 to 9?

    I would see if you can find schematics for the M&P. It should show a different part number if they are using a different extractor for 9 and 40. It should be a simple swap if they are different and one can be obtained.

    Convert 40 to 9?

    I know this thread has been about the M&P but I was gifted a Glock gen 2 23 in .40. I did the 40-9 KKM barrel conversion and had to change the trigger housing because of the ejector difference. Of course I have to use my 9mm mags. The pistol has been flawless and zero issues with those small...

    Precision Armament 5.56 EFAB Hybrid Muzzle Device review.

    The AFAB version is legit on the 14.5+ barrels for flash and flatness in 556. I am impressed with both versions. They work as advertised.

    I think Lake Pleasant is a little closer.

    Shot show 2024

    True. I just noticed someone asked so I posted the info. They also got heavier from what the article said and continue to use the ARMS mount.
