I decided to put a PSA Tank Brake on the ol' WASR, just to change it up after 12-13 years of slant brake.

The finish wear on the wrench flats is from me experimenting with putting a crush washer behind the brake, which I ultimately decided against and just put an O-ring there instead.

Looking through these pics, I had no idea how many companies have ripped off the original Tromix bolt-on charging handle developed in 1999.
Even the Russian Special Forces got in on it.

AK I built a few years ago, it's a mishmash of parts. DDI receiver, Bulgarian virgin trunnion, FN barrel from PSA, TWS dogleg and the rest is from the spare parts box.

I don't think there's a lot of people buying AKs right now.

That being said, I did pick this up recently to play with.

ETA: I have already SBR'd it and have a different stock on it now. I'll try and get updated pics

Agreed...gun sales are down across the board...but I still think there's a lot of closet AK owners on here!

^ That is on the list...but I JUST picked up a SAM7K pistol that I'm going to SBR so it'll have to wait.

With a proper FRT and can that would be a hoot and a half!

I'm gonna be THAT guy and quote and directly contradict myself, as I've bought the WASR for my Alpha build project and a SAM7K for a Krink project in the last two months or so...so much for saying sales are down!

Anyway, my SAM7R build since this is a pic thread:

Attached File


JMac buffer tube adapter which means...oh the horror...the lower tang has been cut off!

...and the way it was removed allows it to be reinstalled if needed wanted, so purists can piss right off!

Rest of build is an SLR Rifleworks rail (their AK 10.5" LITE MLOK) with MagPul handstop (which is one of my favorites).  Cheese grater gas tube cover, custom BFG Desert Tiger stripe sling, ALG trigger, MapPul CTR stock with riser and grip, and EO Tech with their 3X magnifier.

* Before anyone asks about the red tape it was so guns/mags could be matched to each other quickly if need be, especially critical when you have 7,62x39 and 54R, 5,45 and 5.56 AKs which all look alike if you were to ask someone who didn't know any better.

...and my Arsenal SLR-107FR build:

Attached File


JMac stonk (their stuff is EXCELLENT), BFG sling, B5 pistol grip and forward grip, ALG trigger and MagPul fore end and gas tube cover...which I'll probably change out to a cheese grater because reasons and I love the look!

Midwest Industries optic mount with Primary Arms ACSS 4X optic.

It's deceptively lightweight and as much as I want to dislike the PA ACSS as a budget optic it does very well and I haven't brought myself to replacing it.

Recently I decided to try painting camo patterns using stencils and spray paint. I used stencils sets that I got from freedom stencils, they were surprisingly easy. Two things I learned from this project, preparation and patience are key to getting good results, unfortunately I don't have patience. For a first attempt, I'm happy.  If I do it again I'll definitely plan out the pattern placement before painting.

My attempt at M81 woodland with stencils and spray paint. The rifle is a Draco barrel assembly, Draco bolt and carrier, polish front trunnion, DDI receiver and CSS rear trunnion.











I tried to do Russian Partizan camo on my AK-V, didn't come out anywhere close, looks like a bastardized woodland camo.

I've been having fun with my new (to me) M90. It came with the Zastava MLOK handguard, optics mount and cheese grater.

I put the wood upper handguard back on and I'm trying out my accessories like the old PERST-4 I've had for a decade and a Surefire M340V.

Stripped most of the accessories off. The handguard moves too much to justify a laser. The handguard is kinda sharp on the edges so I'm planning on ditching it. Gonna take it to the range today.

The M90 is a Zastava M90 which is a 5.56 AK that has an adjustable, 3-position gas block from the factory. Break-in with 5.56 at setting 2, setting 1 is lightly gassed and 3 is for adverse conditions. Very soft shooting.

Thanks for the explanation.

I'm a bit lost as to why he posted that since.....nothing I posted was an M90 and I wasn't mentioning any gassing issues with any of my guns.

I spose he was responding to someone else and just opted not to quote that post directly, which would have alleviated all of this

I threw an MCarbo +15% recoil spring in my M90 and on setting 1 with an A2 birdcage flash hider, it's one of the flattest shooting guns I have.
