    I need some help finding a new barrel for my AK-47. Its a WASR-10, Stamped receiver. I thought it would be easier to find one but I guess not. I would like some help finding one, (with threaded 14x1 LH thread preferably). I also was curious if they had longer barrels or thicker barrels available?

    Im buying an AK-47 and I was wanting to ask a few question's. All I have to spend is $500 and the only AK47 I can get with that new in the box is the Romanian. My question's are... I keep hearing about the WASR 10 a romanian AK, is that the only romanian there is to buy? And be honest with me, Are the Romanian AK's good guns? If not what is the best AK-47 to buy?

    PS
    Ive been watching Romanian AK-47 reviews online & everyone I watch people are saying that the older romanian aks they made a few years ago were Crap but the new ones are good. All I want to know will the romanian ak shoot without jamming up... Yall can email me at drudaddyak47@yahoo.com or dru_lakecity@yahoo.com

    Thanks..

    Just purchased one second hand from a buddy of mine who owns three.Its a Romainian SAR-1. Well taken care of. Is there anything u can do to accurize it. What type of accuracy can u expect using surplus ammo? Trigger seems to vibrate to me almost to the point of being uncomfortable to shoot alot. Suggestions? My buddy is very knowledgeable on military weapons and he says it is just a military trigger and that to him it feels normal. He owns many ar-15s FALs and M-14. Shot for years on the NC National guard team so I trust his word.Any suggestions?

    Just purchased an AK-47, haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but I tore it down a few times to familarize myself with this weapon. Question: Unlike my SKS or other 22LR Autos, Should the bolt/boltcarrier lock back leaving the action open? I can pull the bolt back and lock it open, but if I slightly tap the stock it slams shut? Is this normal? I'm not sure if it should lock open or if it's just the sloppy play on the bolt carrier feeding into the gas tube. I don't believe I reassembled it incorrectly, but would like to be reassured before I cycle a round. Appreciate any expertise in this matter.

    I know this may seem like a stupid question, but is it possible to suppress an AK-47, and AK-74, and an AKM?

    Im in the market for preban ak 47. Im probably leaning towards a Polytech legend. But, not for sure. I know that I want one with a milled reciever rather than stamped. What else should I look for?? Quality is more important than price. Within reason of course. There seems to be so many variations that its kind of hard to decide. It is also important to have a folding stock. Are side folders or under folders better? Thanks for any help you can give.

    What is a good AK-47 to get if I want an AK that has a full, fixed stock, pistol grip, and can accept a 30 round double stacked magazine? Would a Romanian or Yugoslavian be better, and, about how much should I expect to pay? Also, does it really matter how thick the receiver is, because I have heard that a thicker receiver makes the rifle more reliable. Thanks

    There is no bolt-locking device on an AK-47. That is about the only negative I can see on that rifle. My Romanian AK will partially lock open as you stated, and then slam closed with a slight bump. Does your AK lock open when the bolt is completely to the rear? Mine will only lock open if I pull it all the way to the rear and "ride" the bolt forward slightly. It's probably just loose tolerances in the piston/gas tube area, I'm not sure. There should be no problem with firing it.
    Better to have and not need, than need and not have.[This message has been edited by SP Tiger (edited 09-21-2001).]

    Alot of people dremel tool a small notch into the safety lever to keep it open.You can also buy after market safety levers that have a bolt hold open notch for around $24. www.deltapress.com has them under the catergory "AK-47 manuals", in their pull down menu for that price.

    If you'll take off the receiver cover and watch as you slowly draw back the bolt and piston assembly you'll notice the only thing that holds your bolt to the rear is the spring pressure exerted by the now cocked hammer,where the shaft of the hammer presses up against the bottom of the bolt. This pressure may vary from gun to gun and I suspect I am fortunate in that I must put my thumb on the rear of the receiver cocking spur and push foward to get the bolt to slam foward and seat.Be carefull to keep your fingers out of the way if you investigate this by reaching in with a pencil/screwdriver or some other item and press down on the hammer cause that bolt and rod will fly foward with all the force exerted by the return spring. Better yet take out the return spring and do your investigating until you are satisfied that you know how it works.

    SPTigerYou asked about bolt locking device on the AK. You can take out your safety lever and file a notch in it so that you can push the lever up so that the cocking handle fits into the notch. Here's how I did it today on my Romanian AK. 1-Disassemble your rifle2-Rotate the safety lever upwards until it loosens from the receiver and you can wiggle it out to the right.Do this slowly so you can see where it releases from the receiver and the amount of rotation needed to get it to the place where it comes loose.It'll be over 90 degrees from the fire position.3-You'll know where the notch needs to be filed by pulling the bolt back to the position where it is held by the hammer shaft,that's where you file the slot in the safety lever so it will eventually cup around the front and rear of the cocking handle.4- The only tricky part is reinserting the safety lever into the receiver. I had to release the hammer full foward so the safety lever would go back in without bending or breaking anything. Be sure to hold something against the front of the hammer when you release it or it'll slam foward and might damage something.You may have to take the safety lever out several times to file it until you get the notch exactly the width and depth you want.Hope this helps and I haven't completely confused the issue.As I said, I did mine today and it works fine and I like the added safety that it provides. BTW, I think you can go to some of the AK accessories sites and see an example of a safety lever with a notch in them.
