ak74's , who has what? where did you get it?

[Dan 177]

nice 74's

[chris327 30]

Totalabuse what are they?

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

TA, I foam all over my keyboard every time I see that 74u

 

one day...

[chris327 30]

what is the 74u just shorter? Nj legal?

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

what is the 74u just shorter? Nj legal?

 

Yes, as he said, both NJ legal.

 

It is an AKS-74U, the S meaning "Skladnoy" (folding) and the U meaning "Ukorochenniy" (shortened).

 

It has an 8" barrel IIRC. It is made NJ and federally legal by adding a fake supressor which is permenently attached to make it a "barrel extension" and to meet the 16" barrel length requirement and overall length requirements. The triangle folder appears welded open.

Both were built on demilled unissued rifle kits during the federal AWB. In Range http://www.inrangec2.com/?ammoland did all the work.

[chris327 30]

Ta they are both so nice. Enjoy

[totalabuse 27]

Ta they are both so nice. Enjoy

 

Thank you, In Range is among the best in my opinion.

[Jim Hartman 31]

Do you have any issues with shooting corrosive ammo and those permanetly attached muzzle devices. I would suspect that the threads are subject to corosion.

[totalabuse 27]

I shoot corrosive ammo almost exclusively through them without issue. Cleaning is more detailed than that of other arms I possess. The quality of the spamcan ammo makes it well worth it.

Anyone know where to get some cheap wood furniture, doesn't have to lool god I want to refinish it myself.

dont know what you are looking to spend but the timbersmith furniture I used on the last two rifles was fairly inexpensive, extremely light... and had a pretty nice finish.. also pretty sure it is all US made

[chris327 30]

I was looking for something that isn't finished or has a bad finish so I can strip and refinish it myself. Its just something to do in my opinion.

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

Centerfire had some romanian AKM furniture for like 10 bucks a set a little while back, unsure if they still have it. Of course it wont be correct for a 74 (neither is the timbersmith though) but it will fit.

wow that is cheap

[chris327 30]

Yea the have it for $8 but it doesn't have the top handguard and the bottom has a grip on it. also, how hard would it be to make it fit the cai ak47. I thought any ak stock set would fit.

Yeah, it will pop right on. I think you can cut off the donkey dong and make it look like a normal lower handguard.

[chris327 30]

K what about the top handguard can I get one somewhere? I guess for 8 bucks I can cut and sand whatever I want and won't care if I ruin it.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

So, should I buy a Bushmaster or S&W M&P?

[vjf915 456]

Ray GTFO.

[intercooler 41]

bcm...ray ray, only BCM

[Ray Ray 3,566]

bcm...ray ray, only BCM

 

I understand, I really do. What what would a BCM do that a Smith or Bushy won't do?

[intercooler 41]

nothing, but it will last and is made just plain better. I have a bcm AND a bushy..they cost within $200

[Ray Ray 3,566]

That's what I don't understand. Smith&Wesson makes great handguns, so why is it considered a 2nd tier option in the AR world?

[Caine 147]

Generally speaking, the "tier 1" manufacturers (at least as far as I understand things) are the ones that meet (and in most cases exceed) the military TDP set forth for manufacturing M16s/M4s. Things like HPT/MPI barrels and bolts and what not. The "tier 2" guys come close but are usually missing something.. maybe a 1/9 barrel instead of 1/7.. maybe a particular test isn't run on the bolt.. or maybe the barrel... commercial buffer tube instead of milspec.. who knows.. could be any number of things that don't quite make the grade. That doesn't mean a "tier 2" gun is necessarily bad for 99% of people.

 

And what any of that has to do with AK74s is beyond me...

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

Because AK74s kick the crap out of ARs

I see what your saying, but it's kinda like handguns to me. Glocks are cheaply made and are not expensive at all but it's arguably the most reliable semi-auto pistol on the market. So what's the diff?

[Caine 147]

The difference is they're not Glocks
