    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

    You can but an optic site on it. It should have the rail mounts if it is a SAR1. Plastic furniture will make it feel better and look better. My 2 cents [8D]

    I've not done any accurizing on my romanian sar1. they are pretty darn accurate at 50 yards open sight and dont really need it. I can get half inch groupings at 50 yards. the two stage military trigger is a drag. you may want to switch it out with a red star adjustable trigger if your really into more accurate target shooting or hunting(it will take down a deer for sure). if you just want to plink, keep the trigger as is.

    I don't have a Romanian rifle. These are 922r complaint, meaning they must have a certain No. of US made parts in order to have the pistol grip. Your fire control group (trigger, hammer & disconnecter) should be US made and are probably very cheap parts. Might want to consider changing the fire control group with a better quality setup like the G2 sold by Tapco.

    Wolf ammo is very cheap and works well in that weapon. But it is not a target rifle, rather an assault weapon.

    Open sights standing I can hit an 8 inch diameter metal target at 300 yards 5 out of every 15 shots, I can't even see the target but I know where its at lol.

    They are fairly accurate all thought they probly have a good 1foot spreed at 300 yards, I was getting about a 6-8 inch standing at 100 if you had a bipod on and a scope I bet you could get 4 inch groups at 100.

    I replaced my trigger group so I don't have trigger slap, you may want to as well but the set costs about 100 bucks. You can take out the hammer and do it yerself however it involves a drummel and you have to be carefull. I am at my cabin so don't have the link to the site that shows you how to do it eather way. But if you search for ak-47 trigger slap or something you should be able to find the site with the guide.

    The reason it has trigger slap is there is an extra piece of metal on the sar-1's hammer that doesnt need to be there, it comes from them copying the full auto ak's hammer and not removing that piece of metal for a semi auto gun.

    Or visit www.ak-47.net and ask on there forums some very knowledgeable guys over there they should be able to help you out.

    bighead t, My egytian Maadi had the same problem. The trigger slap would almost break your finger. I replaced it with a valquartzan?? "power custom: trigger. I think i bought it from cheaper than dirt or the sportsmans guide, can't remember. It was about 80 bucks. It is fully adjustable for pull and travel. Very nice. You can set it up as a two step military trigger or as a one step trigger. I have mine set with very little travel and light pull weight, It really is nice. Just do a google search for power custom trigger and you can find them.
