It's just amazing how some folks get ruined for life so quick. How long has it been Maynard, 3 months...???

LOL, I have been exposed.
June 29th started my downward spiral and I can blame you and your friggin' brother for being kind, courteous and allowing me to squeeze in on the line so I could take pleasant whiffs of Wolf ammo being fired and watch the brass piling up. My Colts and my Bolts are not seeing much range time lately and my purchasing of cheap commie ammo has gone through the roof. I wear my RSA hat everywhere now and at my club I have caught some grief from some old time bolt gunners due to my AK obsession and caught major hell for bumpin'. "Fuckin' commie Osama Bin Laden guns." I am a convert. |

Maynard,
Remember...ATFTRAF!...MUHAHAHAhahahha.... the darkside has claimed yet another soul..... I gave some thought to a .223 AK...but it was short lived! The beautiful NEW Bulgie kits have my eye now! ....resistance is futile! |

ATFTRAF-- No clue that that means. Why not the .223 AK? Feeding problems scare you off or just not really interested? What's the appeal of the Bulgie kits? Got a link for 'em? |

ATFTRAF=After the first the rest are free!
I just lost interest in the 223. mags were not as easy to locate, feeding problems, hammer geometry issues, besides 5.45s rock! tried and proven! www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=64&t=53210 These are the real deal 90 degree gas blocks and all! |

Don't own one, but 5.56 shopping as well to round out my AK calibers. SAR3 has a Bulgarian bbl (better) set different in the 74 receiver so the Century hts has imperfect geometry and does not hit the back of the bolt/pin cleanly. $30 for the RSA hammer is hardly an option, so get the whole $80 hts anyway. Weigers seem perfect right away, Bulgy poly often needs a wee bit of filing to work right. Aim has Weigers too, so piggy back on shipping.
But short of the LEGP, I smell a VEPR K in my future. |

In all seriousness, I have contemplated the idea of the 5.56mm round in the AK, but I have been very hesitant. The goal I have set for myself in this caliber and design is....
But, I will be glad to try yours out next year. |

Hbarski, you wont be sorry
 My Galil 386 is on the "never sell" list. Accurate with AK reliability. Let me know if you need any Galil advice or sources.

Care to define 'accurate' for a Galil?
I know where to get decent used 50rnd mags 4/$80. |

I own two of them. One set up in black polymer furniture and the other with a pinned triangle side folder. No problems out of either one.

Excellent. Any other mods to either rifle? Are you using the waffle mags or the Weigners? BTW, AIM appears to be out of the Weigners, That's the reason for buying from CDNN. |

I took two of the "AK 74" type muzzle comps (14mm threads) and they were a perfect slipover fit on the muzzle. The only thing I had to do was "deepen" the threaded end so the comp would slip on and rest against the front sight. I then had it welded on the bottom and then touched it up. They look and shoot great.
I have two bulgarian waffles to go with the black polymer furniture, and two orange bakelite to go with the fixed triangle side folder. Looks great with the original wood foregrip. Here's a photo of my AK collection. When I get back from the business trip I'm currently on, I'll post some closeup photos of each one.  Happy Shooting!! Krinkfreak www.angelfire.com/ak5/rpkman/ |

From a bench, with a sandbag, mine will shoot 1.5 - 2" at 100 yards using Black Hills 52gr JHP Match. It consistantly around 2-3" with M193. It's definitely better than average "AK" accuracy. I think with a better trigger and some optics a little more could be shaved off. I avoid the 50rd Mags. I have one, but it's pretty much just part of the Galil-Stuff collection. Its too long for any useful purposes, too heavy when loaded and occassionally unreliable when fully loaded. The IDF originally intended these for SAW use but ditched that idea early on. You never saw many of them in field use. Im planning on an AK74 type of some sort in the next year. What kind of accuracy are you guys getting with the 5.45s? |

Thanks for the Galil info. Looks like another case of 5.56 shooting better with nice grade western ammo. Unlike western 7.62 shooting worse in commie guns with .310 bores..
My SAR2 ($238 2 summers ago) with RSA trigger set, 30rnd bakelite monopod and 4x scope can get steady 2 1/2-3" groups of 5 at 100 yds with Barnual. Very similar with Wolf, but more fliers. The 11/02 issue of Guns Magazine has a 5.45 VEPR K article, did not shoot Barnual, but got a best of 2 1/8" with Wolf. I guess the heavy duty VEPR quality and RSA trigger set in the cheap SAR2 seem to cancel each other out. As a general rule, 5.45 guns seem to avg 1" smaller groups than 7.62 guns. |
