| Ok I just bought a romanian ak. Only gun experience I have is handgun...Ive shot a 9 millimeter handgun and just some high powered pellet gun rifles. What im askin is how is the recoil on this thing. I am 19 years old, but I am a pretty small framed man...Only about 135 pounds. And I know that like malnourished 12 year olds shoot these things on full auto in somalia, but honestly, not sounding like a tough guy, hows it kick? |

you will be fine... I have been shooting an SKS since I was like 10....seems like the bigger I get the littler the recoil gets.....weird how that works... ETA i am 19 too....I shoot an SAR1 and it is just fine....too short of stock but not that bad.... You want recoil...take a old H+R with 3 inch chamber with shortened bbl and hand it to someone with a 3 inch mag in it....heheh that is funny....I guess me and my friends are just mean like that to each other

Same here. I am in North Olmsted. As far as trigger slap goes. Most will have it, I could show you how to fix it with a dremmel tool. If not, there is a guy selling Tapco G2 FCG's in the Equipment Exchange under AK parts and accessories. |
That would be 5.4 rounds per acre. Unless you do something drastic to the ammo, some acres are going to get more rounds in them than the others. |
Damn...I live in elyria..that aint far at all. |
That could be me if you need one shoot me a email and I can hook you up for a VERY fair price. As far as the Ak your only worry is gonna be the 40 rounds of ammo you have. Thats only enough to realize that your gonna need a lot more. Im about 170 and love the punch a 47 offers I enjoy a little kick and it offers just the right amount. |

The AK has enough recoil to remind you that you just fired it.. As for the trigger slap, it was an issue with Century's crappy fire control group. The latest runs seem to have the Tapco trigger in from the factory though. Check on the parts in question, see if there's a "C" on them (junk parts) or "Tapco". You may not need to replace anything

Yeah, I go to cobblestone movie theatre all the time with my girlfriend. That is in your neck of the woods...right? P.S. I am 22, not one of these old guys  (no offense to the old geezers)

Ya I work at the sams club in that plaza. |

Hey millertime I officailly invite you over to the ohio forum in the hometown secion. There you can find out when the next local get together is. We meet up about once a month over the summer at Grand River target range. You can come and see and shoot alot of different guns. We usually have a pretty nice assorment of ARs and AKs. I'm from Trumbull county, but I worked up in elyria one summer. I was at parker hannifins airborne division. Enjoy the AK. They can be an addiction. Come out to the range you can try my AMD 65, the brake on these things makes recoil very small. And you can shoot my AK pistol, just for the fireball and noise. |
| Well I got to shoot it today..Oh man it was fun..I picked up a few rounds before I did though, so I had a little bit more than 40. I dont know why I was worried about the recoil, its not bad at all. It is loud as hell though. But even though I had a blast lol, the last thing I needed right now is another expensive hobby haha. |
Always wear proper hearing protection, gunfire will permanently damage your hearing. foam earplugs are fine for outdoor use, they're cheap.... USE THEM. |
