    Any opinions on the sam-7s. Are they worth the extra cash?

    Thanks

    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

    no, you can do alot better, depending on what you are looking for
    if you just want an Ak , look at yugos, norincos, and esp builds from small but quality gunsmiths

    It's a good price if one of the Hungarian AK's imported in the late 80's. They have a reputation for being of top quality, and were only imported for a short time, in limited quantities. The "wooden thumb hole stock" doesn't sound right? The ones I've seen in the past have either a standard military wooden stock or a very rare folder. Never seen one with a thumb hole stock.

    You got to be careful though, it's not one of the "Kit Guns" put together by Bubba from parts recently. Lot of that stuff has been turning up recently. Big difference in collectors value, don't let anybody BS you.

    I believe they were made by FEG. I have one around here, somewhere. Very good guns, but the stock is clunky.

    Here is a link to the Hungarian made AK's that came in during the late 80's. That i'm familiar with. It's possible that some were also sold minus the flash hider/bayonet lug with a thumbhole stock, like the early post ban Chinese AK's.

    There's a bunch of Hungarian AK (AMD)clones showing up at gun shows, for the past few months. Some are equipped with the thumbhole stocks, some folders and some straight wood - selling prices are any where from around $460 to $600 here in Eastern PA. Most look like new manufacture or unissued pieces, some look to have been "re-arsenalled".

    $700 sounds like a good price. A Friend of mine has a Hungarian FEG AK that came with both a thumbhole stock and an underfolding stock.
