Scooter,
Great looking rifle! You went down to Pasadena today? I was there too, ended up dropping of my NDM86 to get refinished since I bumped into a booth there that could help me out. Did you get the SSR from the Hector at Elk River Tool and Die? He had about 8 really nice x39's bulgarians with blonde wood and some nice Tantal's too, his booth looked the only place that had anything different than the usual WASR crapola. And on a crappy note I'll be going back tomorrow because one of the cheapo flashlights I bought has a bad bulb. ![]() Z |

Nope. Big Town in Mesquite. Bought this rifle from Military Gun Supply.

I bought mine from them back in March. It's an awesome rifle. However, I cannot get the furniture to budge. Any tips? I went to Big Town today as well. I wanted to trade my Sig P229R .40S&W and a couple of dealers offered me $350. ![]() Anyway, I ended up trading my P229R w/ 3 mags for an older, 100% German P226 9mm w/ 2 mags. |

What's interesting is you say it has a threaded and removable break. The older ones didn't have their threads turned. Mine has all the same markings, except from your picture -- the receiver dimples are different.

Correct, the muzzle is threaded and the slant brake is not welded on. I suspect the importer TGI has asked the factory in Bulgaria to make some changes, because this sure seems to be a much better rifle than some of the older Armory USA guns. |

Damn, if only if I had waited a bit longer. |

So how much did it set you back?
It is nice to know the barrel is threaded, maybe I will look into them if the price is right. |

I like the EG furniture.

Can you explain that for me? How would not shouldering properly cause an ejection problem? |

Well, its speculation...but kind of like limp wristing a pistol. The rifle was resting on a sandbag. I was seated and holding the rifle by the pistol grip and probably not pulling it tight enough to my shoulder to provide resistance. I was not holding the handguards or magazine. I fired the rifle, and the spent case did not fully eject. It got turned around 180 degrees sticking between the top cover and the rear of the ejector at an angle, thus preventing the bolt carrier from fully chambering the next round. Happened once. From that point forward, I firmly held the rifle and had no issues at all. |

The AK is gas operated, it should fire no matter how you hold it. Pistols are recoil operated/blowback.
