GramGun79 226 Posted March 30, 2017 Well after many post about whether I should or shouldn't obviously I did! Zeke here's the pic you asked for. Also can anyone tell me how I get this Croatian mag to lock up. It seems to fit but won't lock. Polymer mags are good to go. Any suggestions from any of you guys who have SAM7r Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT Custom Guns 956 Posted March 30, 2017 If all your other mags work except one or two - sometimes you need to lightly file the underside of the lip that locks the mag into the magwell. If your having trouble with all your mags - read here: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/archive/index.php/t-504982.html Good luck! JT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newtonian 453 Posted March 30, 2017 That's what happens when you store an SKS and an AR together. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,635 Posted March 30, 2017 Nice grab. What's the stock adapter on there? I couldn't find anything for my SAM7R... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted March 30, 2017 This is great looking. I'm doing both of mine pretty exactly the same except for the shorter barrels and a Venom tectical FSB. Love it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted March 30, 2017 Nice grab. What's the stock adapter on there? I couldn't find anything for my SAM7R... I used rifle dynamics. It's pricey but a really nicely machined piece. http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/stock-parts/stock-hardware/adapter/ak-47-m4-stock-adapter-m4-stock-adapter-black-aluminum-sku100-011-376-55411-113111.aspx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GramGun79 226 Posted March 30, 2017 Nice grab. What's the stock adapter on there? I couldn't find anything for my SAM7R... It's a command arms aktm. You will need to remove the lower tang if you don't want it exposed. I know a lot of people cringe when they here i cut off the tang but they cost $7 and I can alway put another one in if needed. The stock adapter is rock solid. https://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/CAA_AKTM_M4_Milled_Buffer_Receiver_6_Position_Tube_p/caa-aktm.htm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High Exposure 5,635 Posted March 30, 2017 Yeah. The milled receiver and the two tangs really limit your selection. I think I have resigned myself to just pick up an Arsenal Warsaw length stock to replace the NATO length that's on there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im not selling so i didn't care. the tang is held in with 2 rivets..thats it. you can drill them out if you don't want to cut it off but thats a lot of work. 2 mins with the Dremel and i was done. great looking stick!

GramGun79 226 Posted March 30, 2017 HE what kind of steel mags are you running. The Croatian mags i picked up needed too much work to get them to lock up. I must have been grinding away material for 45 min to make 2 mags work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,635 Posted March 30, 2017 Made in China is all I know. That's a non-functional mag from work I used for the photo because it looks cooler. My mags are all 10 rounders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it was a nice wood i probably wouldn't have changed it but on this one i was going for a certain look and made it more comfortable for me. my next one will be wood for sure.. any recommendations on a nice one out the box?
