| I recently had a supposedly competent gunsmith build me an AK using a Romanian parts kit and a DCI receiver. The build has had some problems, most of which have already been worked out, but I still have a problem with the cartridge hitting the bullet guide. When I chamber a round the bullet is hitting the bullet guide, when I use FMJ rounds it seems to be just rubbing against the bullet guide, but when I use hollow points it is hitting the guide and deforming the bullet a little bit. Did the gunsmith screw up my build, and is this going to be a problem for the gun in terms of accuracy and reliability? I have already spoken to him about this and he told me that it should be fine, but I do not feel he has been totally up front with me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

Doesn't sound like the builder did anything wrong. Many have that problem using hollowpoint bullets. There should be a post around showing how others have corrected it by slightly altering the feed angle at the chamber face. I'll see if I can find the post. I couldn't find a post with good pictures so this will have to do.  |
