I figured we could put a (hopefully) sticky together which could be sort of a more specific kind of AK FAQ. For instance: The gas piston is supposed to wobble. The buttstock is not supposed to be perfectly flush against the rear of the receiver. There is no bolt hold open device on an AK. Single stack conversions do not have dimples in the magazine well. A milled receiver AK is about 2 lbs. heavier than a stamped receiver. VEPRs use an RPK receiver - it is not the same as a milled receiver. The .308 Saiga uses a "quasi-RPK" receiver. The .308 VEPR magwell can be converted to take M-14 or Galil magazines, the .308 Saiga cannot be converted like this. This is the start of the list, but you catch my drift. Please add to this list! (And let me know if I'm wrong on any of these!) |

AK-47 bolt carrier stop is on the right side of the trunion, AKM is on the left side. Firing Line Milled receivers have it on the left however (among many other differeces). Functionally no different really, but you wanted tribal trivia! -C added: the switch to the left side was supposedly to help balance out the rifle's receoiling impulses. |

ha ha, i actually posted this originally in AK ABC's but... it got ignored. more: on a PK-AS black/red dot sight, one must first loosen the locknut on the right side befoe adjusting either windage or elevation turrets, then tighten it again (pain in the ass) The sight must be removed and repaced on the rail between adjustments. to lower point of impact, turn clockwise to raise POI turn counter to move POI left, turn counter to move POI right turn clockwise |
