The_Matrix 105 Posted November 13, 2010 Is there a AK photo thread? I never like AK style rifles, but all of the sudden, I LOVE THEM. I just lost all interest in the AR style rifles. Just want to see what you guys have and maybe get ideas for accessories. ie triangle metal stock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FFDP82 4 Posted November 13, 2010 ie triangle metal stock Unless it folds (which it won't) it's a total waste in NJ. The aftermarket open-only ones are total crapola abortions with an obnoxious "adapter" block and then now you have all the drawbacks of a triangle like worse cheek weld, different angle, and none of the benefits like folding. Not to mention that the stock is about $200-250 for a purely cosmetic upgrade..... Really, just keep your standard wood or fixed polymer K-var stock. There's really no need to fix what isn't broken as you gain nothing by changing since you can't have anything that folds or collapses. In the words of Ivan "RIFLE IS FINE" Note the horizontal trunion assembly on the mil-spec versus the obnoxious block and vertical trunion tang on the one made to fit a standard rear trunion on the aftermarket one. Standard mil-spec: Aftermarket abortion: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pew Pew Plates 358 Posted March 14, 2011 OK, we gotta make this like the AR thread with a photo and a 30 item list of tacti-useless items. I'll start Century arms PSL with 8x POSP TACTICAL ILLUMANTED RED RETICLE for when you need to clear houses at 3am, TACTICALLY Cheek pad for more TACTICAL HEAD ALIGNMENT Butt pad for longer LOP because I'm larger than the typical commie, so I can have a more TACTICAL STANCE Also has a TACTICAL (insert fancy brand name here) MUZZLE BRAKE FOR RAPID TACTICAL FIRING On top is my MILLED RECIEVER WITH AK STYLE FEEDRAMPS rifle with: Tactical stamped upper dust cover! A barrel with a twist rate of WGAF (who gives a f*#k) for ULTIMATE TACTICAL ACCURACY It even has a TACTICAL SLANT BREAK for FULL AUTO SUSTAINED FIRE (wait a minute, our guns are semi auto, this is useless!) It also has TACTICAL SHINEY INTERNALS! that I lubed up with high tech TACTICAL GREASE even though it doesnt need it because its not as cool as an AR! bottom photo is my SAR-2 which shoots TACTICAL HYPER VELOCITY 5.45mm FRAGMENTING BOOLITS Also has: TACTICAL PLYWOOD STOCK, pinned in place so its legal and LOOKS SO TACTICAL And last but not least: ONE POINT TACTICAL SLING! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladtepes 1,060 Posted March 14, 2011 milled AK +1 for having a gun that is heavier than mine WITH accessories.. most of the time I use that forward grip.. but I was tight up against that wall and was shooting at a slight angle.. it was just far more comfortable while being in that position.. was trying to just keep the gun stable... but I am sure you realize that and are just breaking my balls.. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's not a "true" AK with the thumbhole stock and single stack mags.....but the finish on it is just beautiful, don't think I can let her go.

joshg138 0 Posted March 18, 2011 Back in October I picked up a MAK 90. I meant to post pics, but I never got along to it. It may be a little overdue, but here you go. I replaced the furniture with a walnut stock, grip, and handguards from Ironwood. The small mags are from Tapco, the 15/30's are from Glenn's group buy.

Ray Ray 3,566 Posted March 19, 2011 nice guns, and I like how you poke fun at what I was joking at as far as tacticool AKs, to each his own I don't understand how if someone doesn't like something, they completely bash it because it's not what they like. If you like lights, lasers and rails or whatever then put them on the gun. If you don't, then don't complain about those that do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Ray 3,566 Posted March 19, 2011 kinda like how you didnt like the FFPD dude saying happy birthday to kalashnikov and bashed everybody? apples and oranges How many posts do you say that you like so and so's AR. None. How many posts do you say you like so and so's ruger or XD or anything else not on your status. NONE. Your thinking is if it's not in my safe then it's inferior. If you opened your mind (and wallet) you might actually like a Ruger or a Taurus or an AR. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vjf915 456 Posted March 19, 2011 Just because he doesn't say he likes it.....doesn't exactly mean he thinks it's inferior. I'm not trying to get in the middle of a war, hopefully prevent one. Let's try to keep the discussion about AK's and pictures of our AK's. I agree with Ray Ray about "to each his own". Glen likes traditional, unaltered Commie guns, that's his taste and I think that some of them are beautiful guns. Ray Ray likes mall ninja guns, and I think he has some real nice guns too....crap I even BOUGHT one of his guns. I think we should try to keep the mindset of "to each his own". Don't have to like it or buy it yourself, but let's not criticize each other for it. Let's remember that we all have the same hobby. You don't see car enthusiasts hating on each other just because one drives a Mustake and the other drives an AWESOME Camaro.....oh wait.... :thsmiley_deadhorse: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's an arrogant douche (he's my pal, but hey.....) if it's not what he likes, it's crap. He's entitled to his own (wrong) opinion and when I get my future AK tacticool black, he's gonna groan. He's even planning to turn his tacticool 10/22 into a Garand look-alike. But that's Glenn... we still love him...

Dan 177 Posted March 19, 2011 Contrary to popular belief , i'm not anti-AK... Arsenal SLR-101S, milled Bulgarian receiver, apparently altered to accept normal doublestack mags, some type of barrel maybe chromed or not, some pinned brake, some plastic green furniture, some brand-less magazines, and it shoots really well.
