Fellas,
Why would an AK perfectly eject steel cased ammo but mangle the ever-loving shit out of brass-cased ammo? I'm talking about the "brass is in pieces" mangled here. Way, way overgassed? It is an Egyptian Maadi with a US-made barrel. |
Lol @ the retarded folks

So, if my AKM can be fixed to shoot brass-cased ammo, I'd be happy; it is an otherwise superb rifle. So...maybe overgassed? |

If it's dented to hell, and you're only shooting indoors... can always take the top cover off to shoot brass.

Car door edge protectors can be cut to fit on the sharp forward edge of your AK dust cover ejection port. It will help, but not eliminate the damage. Valmet used to sell ejection port buffers that worked, good luck finding one and make sure to take your heart medication before asking for the price. I owned a Valmet M76 .223 in the mid-1980's that would throw brass over the top of a ranch style house an into the front yard. Needless to say that brass was toast. |
