Worry about getting one for now. Don't go sucking em all up like an opportunistic geriatric hogging all the .22lr during the panic.

My advice is not to get the handpress. It works but it is awkward at best because there is no leverage.
Instead get the most basic press that you can screw to a small piece of 2x4 and then clamp to a table or whatever.
It is the same or even less price than the handpress and it will give you the leverage you want and also still fit in a shoe box when done.
This will give a lifetime of reloads and you will have a small press you can take to the range to work on charges and seat bullets.

Haha dont worry I'll be so lucky to get even 1, especially since now I am throwing myself all in on this 458 build that I want to hopefully have done for opening day of deer season. Well irons sights at a minimum, then maybe some type of optic for next season
Just get a Tromix upper and throw it onto your lower of choice.
Going with an
Aero Precision "XL" upper

The AK intro was still more epic.
Ok so I know I necroed this thread earlier with something actually Kalash related....
But here is something left field, but
1) I didnt want to make a new thread for such a niche "market"
2) Not many will appreciate..
Either way if only I lived in a free state and wasnt "poor"
Option A) spend 17,000-30,000 for a transferable m16
Option B) spend (iirc) 8,000-12,000or a transferrable mac-10/11 and then idk how much for a Lage conversion...

Interesting. So is that essentially and open bolt 556?
Not even sure if it's open bolt I dont know the details other than the gun just uses the registered lower from a mac

I see there are variations to shoot 9mm 45 etc but also uppers to shoot 556. I would say I can't imagine it using open bolt for 556 but then again there are 556 open bolt machine guns. Also, MACs use open bolt so I'd imagine it would have to use that mechanism. It would definitely be a cost effective way to get a 556 full auto.

Yea Ian from FW (his above) was one of the first in 9mm or .380 I cant remember and he used it at some action rifle match
(Oh also tone of new Kalashnikov type rifles about to hit the market and sounds like a lot of 74 types on the way, mainly the 103)
There is a metric ass load of new AK models debuting at Shot Show this year. PSA has some particularly interesting rifles lined up such as their AK5.56 which takes STANAG magazines and presumably has a bolt hold feature. They are also introducing FN made cold hammer forged, chrome lined barrels, starting with the 7.62x39 model. FN makes an excellent barrel, I'd expect above average accuracy from these AKs so equipped. On top of that it seems 2020 is the year of the Kalashnikov clones with several manufacturers offering period correct versions of milled AK47s, AKMs, AK74s and numerous AK103 (and other century series) clones.
PSA has adopted some of the current AK12 features on some of there models too, namely the integrated gas block/front sight post.
It definitely seems to be the year of the AK.

PSA is also doing the forged front trunion which is a huge step in a quality reliable AK
I really hope PSA continues to lock down their QC.
The FN barreled rifle is running $1,100 which frankly is a price point I would reasonably expect to offer good quality.

I see no reason why you couldn't throw a Thordsen on that and call it good.

7.62x39 with AR ergonomics, with a long stroke piston... certainly seems like a reasonable offering!

It is the year of the ak for sure!! As far as NY compliance goes it’s tough...I find saiga configurations are the easiest on the eyes. The one I have below has a “ny barrel extension” not a flashhider. No holes. There’s also the VZ-58 Liberty rifle. It’s absolutely not a kalashnikov variant but it is cool AF. Stripper fed which it convenient for fixed magazine.
Great to see this thread revitalized. What else is everyone doing for compliance??

My one gripe is I wish they were threaded for 14/1Left!!
I'm still running my NYLAK stock, sadly the Saiga took a back seat to my 450 pistol build.
But I really want to get it down to the AK dude (who makes the stock) and have him give it a real nice once over, and finish the conversion (ie correct rear sights and hopefully gas block and all that jazz)
I also want to add the AGL trigger and SLR Rifleworks handguards and then figure maybe a LVPO on and RS mount

Is that the guy at “ny legal firearms”? He’s good sh*t.
For optics mounting check out the occam defense RST. About as simple and solid as kalash mounting can get I have an AK at sellrain getting one installed now.
Oh and that’s a sweet Russian lady ya got there
