Ok, that's clever.

Agreed. It's mildly corrosive. The rust you see is not even really from the gun itself for a few days but from the actual primer itself and the crap that is spewed out. But the rust doesn't just go in the barrel. It goes well into the gas tube and back into the action. IDK I just don't like having to clean it right away (or having rust in the gun) if not necessary.
I hate the idea of not being able to put off cleaning my guns. I'll be honest I don't clean mine all that often (I dont shoot as much as I'd like) but hell today I finally got around to cleaning my 17 since shooting a match with it a month ago
It corrosive due to the salts in the priming compound. Corrosive primers are much more stable. They have a longer storage life and are more tolerant of temperature extremes, this why they were used.
The residue of this priming compound attracts moisture and that moisture is what causes the rust. After you flush this residue out and dry the affected parts you can forestall any further maintenance for as long as you want.

Well I was just killing some time on the Instagram and stumbled upon Rs_regulators page and yup completely fell in love with their new handguards.
First on with the LVPO is such a sweet setup (would like that for my own, but with a hand stop not the stubby cause NY is great)

I actually bought 2 saigas from ny legal arms years ago (when they were about half what they are now). Glad they are still around!
Yeah he still seems pretty small but the 2 or 3 times I've talked with him he has been super awesome, and seems to be very AK knowledgable
Midwest Industries has good AK rails too:
MI-AKXG2-UM<br>MI Gen2 Extended AK47/74 Universal Handguard, M-LOK(TM) Compatible, Rail Topcover
MI-AKXG2-UM<br>MI Gen2 Extended AK47/74 Universal Handguard, M-LOK(TM) Compatible, Rail Topcover
I will post this again here because it represents the greatest refinement of the Kalashnikov you can buy:
Definitive Arms custom conversion to take AR mags. They rivet a steel magwell housing to the receiver. This also gives a last shot/manual bolt hold, I believe the barrel is cut down to 14.5". You can also have them covert it to 6.5 Grendel. The hand guard is a Krebs Custom, they make it in Mlok now.
No reason something like this couldn't be used with a sporter stock sans muzzle device.

This right here, if I had the cash and a 5.56 ak, I would have this mod done in heart beat

I really like the look of the Definitive Arms AK but I'd still want in 762.
Better start saving up. I think that right there is approaching 3 grand worth of rifle.
Also keep in mind AKs are not ARs, stuff like handguards my require some hand fitting.
Oh I know, for both parts and I know the mag adapter is a bit of a unicorn

I am not sure about the 5 45 but a saiga in 223 ir in 308 even better it is considered a great bush / ranch gun. The 308 from izmash comes with beefed up barrels, trunions and 3 lug bolt.
It has been recognized by Russians to be a great combo between the reliability of the platform and the quality and consistency of western ammunition.
The saiga in 16" is a bit short for a 308 but it is pretty compact and fairly accurate. It beats the socom at everything. At the time sold the socom, bought 2 saigas and still had money for 1k rounds of 308.

Its completely custom. That rifle is like a full on ZEV/Agency ect custom Glock. Or a full on Cajun Custom CZ.
Definitive Arms will blueprint and spec the whole rifle, fix any factory imperfections such as less than perfect rivets, resurface and true all the internals and cryo treat the barrel and trunion. For the money they are sending you back a sub moa capable rifle. They are the LRB of AKs. Tiny shop, according to Tim from MAC it's the kind of place you send a rifle and a few grand to and maybe, if you don't pester them over much, 6 to 12 months later you get a masterpiece Kalashnikov back.
The 5.45 guns are known to be fairly accurate simply because .30 cal barrel blanks were used only with a .22 bore hammered into them. Its basically a bull barrel. Back in the day I had a very well done Bulgarian parts build 74 with a Bulgy chrome lined, cold hammer forged barrel on it. With good quality Russian 7n6 surplus it would do 2" groups at 100 yards if I was having a good day. Completely on par with my Colt 6920.
The 74 was heavier though. And I hate the standard AK sights. I have never been able to do well with blade style sights. The front hood makes for a good CQB sight though. Some folk can do very well the post and blade sights though.

It is simply a bore and cartrige that doesnt make a lot of sense and with the 223 around in both steel and brass cases even less sense.
I understsnd there are things people simply like but the 5.45 brings nothing to the table and there are a few drawbacks.
No bullets, no brass, cannot reload.
The 223 instead does everything better.
When ine could buy a pallet of 5.45 or tokarec for 1k dollars I would agree. Today nah.
At least one can reload tokarev and have dies for 30 cal bullets.
I am not saying is crap, but you know...why bother?

Agreed. It made a lot of sense when 5.45 was the cheapest ammo next to .22lr though. Remember those days? Freaking ARs were getting chambered in 5.45 cause it was so damn cheap.
And most of the 7n6 surplus was good quality stuff too. I really miss those days, going to a gun show and just loading the bed of your buddy's pickup with crates of the stuff, only to bump fire it into the dirt by the thousands.
I just want a 5.45 cause why not lol

They're fantastic. I want to SBR it. Maybe. One day. Would have already done so if not for the change in how it's done. I had experimented with making a brace for it using a blade. The thread is on here somewhere but it actually worked out great. The sights are so close to your face that it acts more like a red dot with the front post. This with the non existent recoil is sick. You know those videos where they shoot plates really really fast? You can do that with this and a brace. I have to time myself one day but I can shoot 5 plates in what seems like well under 2 seconds. I keep backing up and the time slows down a bit but the bullets just keep going where you put that sight! This is also my dedicated chipmunk dispatcher. I get headshots with it no problem.
