What's Your Next Purchase? V5

Through some courtroom gymnastics, CT finally allowed the sale of stripped lowers for private builds of CT "Others". I'd estimate in the few weeks this has been allowed the state has transferred at 15k lowers. Some guys are buy 4 or 5 a pop.

I myself picked up a poverty pony and started building today with a LPK. My next focus will be a complete upper. Kind of want to keep it a budget look, so I will probably be picking up a compliment of MOE furniture as well.

He's as budget as it gets. :)

While I understand your attitude towards them.....psa donated a lot of money for va and our second amendment rights.


Primary arms is a great company to deal with.

Literally just brought my Zaytsev home (its the 5.45x39 variant).

Right off the bat, im pretty disappointed. It came with a single Bulgarian magazine and said magazine did NOT fit into the rifle. it took my gunsmith and i about 10 minutes worth of filing to finally get the magazine to lock into place. Upon popping some rounds into the magazine. It chambered them just fine, but when you pull back the charging handle, it comes halfway back and then stops, failing to eject the round. You gotta crank that bitch back like it snorted all your coke to get it to pop that round out and eject it.

As of the moment, it does NOT fit with either my Russian 'Plum' magazines or my Bulgarian 'circle 10's' which are pretty high quality AK-74 mags. Shooting an email off to the company to see if i can get some satisfaction on this rifle.

BTW, it doesnt come with a Surefire Warcomp, it comes with a Dead Air Flash suppressor, which i was pleased with because i use Keymo on all my suppressors. Now if only i could actually shoot the f-ing thing....

Oof that sucks. I've been hearing some not so great things about them and their QC. Their lead times being ridiculous, very slow to fix things, etc.

Hopefully they sort yours out. The make a fantastic looking rifle and on paper it has very high quality stuff.

i knew getting into it that it was one of those 'risky business' things.

The thing about AK's, are that you either get $1000 part kit garbage and roll the dice on them. or you pay 2 grand to Jim Fuller who makes a parts kit gun. My gunsmith went to smithing school with one of the guys at Tactical Edge so i decided to see what was up. Im an AR guy and thats where my technical expertise lies. Trying to get into AK's has been a chore because the AK community is incredibly toxic, mostly to itself. Trying to get an unbiased opinion on why one countries AK is shit over the other or why one builder is a meth fiend vs another is like trying to jerk off a unicorn. 10 years ago, every AK master would straight tell you WASR's were garbage, now those same WASR's are 'the gold standard' of budget AK's. Or how Chinese AK's were bottom tier, right up until the ban hit and now they are holy grail can do nothing wrong masterpieces.

Yeah the rifle not accepting the mag it came with is pretty rough QC. Like that's pretty damn bad. Hopefully they make it right in a reasonable time frame.

That is 100% why I haven't gotten an AK. I don't want a pos and trying to decipher what is good, bad, ok, whatever is ridiculous. Oh this country but not this factory but before this year but not this model with this piece blah blah blah. Then you have people contradicting each others statements and it just a shit show. It's like trying to understand two extremely drunk people arguing their opposing points to you in broken English.

I haven't looked into them too much but Definitive Arms I've been reading good things about. I'm not paying Rifle Dynamics money for an AK.

I have an SGL-21....absolutely love to shoot it.
I thought it was expensive many years ago when I got it(as far as ak's go).....now seeing what used in good shape is going for....Holy crap.
 
Dammit this is really tempting me, I'll probably pass but I keep thinking about it.

KIT-R-ACSS-ACOG-GMOUNT_00.jpg


If this was a QD mount I would buy it. Love Geissele but on an optic like an acog or red dot I like qd.

The thing I keep thinking about is I can sell both mounts and replace it with adm or whatever. I'm terrible at selling things. I have numerous parts that I need to sell but never do.

I'm Canadian, I can only shoot AKs when I visit the US.

But the sentiment is not lost on me; pissing matches are in all areas of gun forum-dom, but I guess our access to other Combloc surplus firearms can make some of us less picky. At the end of the day, they're bullet hoses.

Canadian gun owners, IMO, are more concerned about the loopholes that give us extra, legal capacity. You should see how much Canadians can spend on an SKS to bring it back to 10 rounds with a detachable magazine, nevermind opics and rails and all that shit.

The thing that is nice about the AR platform is that while you can have absolute pissing matches about who is best or who is overrated there usually is a great consensus on what is and isn't quality. Regardless of being over priced, over hyped or whatever there are numerous companies you could go with that will result in a quality reliable firearm.

The thing about the AR platform, is that in Canada, it's currently classified as a "restricted firearm" translation: "range toy". I know @Cubo de Sangre will hate me for saying this, the only reason I have a Tavor, is because it's non-restricted. I'd still have an AR-15 if I didn't have to deal with all the bullshit.

As for my Stag-10, after doing some research, it's based on the the obscure AR-102, which wasn't classified, by name, through an Order in Council, as a restricted firearm. Mine is currently set up as a hunting rifle, which is how I intend to use it, while I still can.

As for a previous conversation, I haven't yet seen if the gas block was the cause for my FTEs. I'll check it out, during my next range trip. It's 25 yards indoor, but that's more than enough to see if realigning the gas block fixed the problem, or I have a bigger problem at hand.

I rarely respond on gun forums because of all the blatant fan boy crap.

I'll go so far as to suggest the AR at $400 might be the most bang for the buck that has ever existed in arms ownership. After that it's all whatever floats your boat.
