Its fun at the range when people start to glance over after 50 rounds or so wondering when I'll run out.

Anyone in the SA area with a 5.45x39 rifle?

I currently own two Romanian SAR-1 rifles.

Although the first picture is not my original SAR -1, mine looked basically the same as the one below.

After keeping the rifle in the original configuration that you see above for about a year, I decided that I wanted to customize my rifle based on some of the other AKM rifles that I had seen and/or read about on various AK sites and many of the members of the sites were kind enough to give me advice on how to proceed. So, I started the modification process and this is what I have ended up with so far:

The folding stock and furniture came from www.dpharms.com, the bayonet came from www.tickbitesupply.com, and see below for info on the Kobra red dot sight.

This picture immediately above shows the bayonet mounted over the slant brake (for whatever reason, the bayonet lug was not completely ground down and the bayonet locks on tightly). Because I had to thread the barrel to add the slant brake, it changed the 922r requirements for the rifle and I had to use a U.S. made slant brake in order to remain in compliance. Before installing the slant brake, I also installed a detent pin and spring in order to keep the brake in place.

And if you have not seen how the Kobra red dot sight attaches to the side rail of an AK, here it is:

The Kobra is the Russian military EKP-1S-03M upgrade and operates on two AA batteries. (http://tantal.kalashnikov.guns.ru/collimator.html). The Kobra can be easily mounted and dismounted without disturbing the zero of the sight once it is set.

It addition, the rifle is fully compliant with U.S. parts and thus meets the federally mandated 992r requirements.

The rifle also has modifications that are less noticeable, such as a:

Blackjack notched safety/selector lever, http://www.blackjackbuffers.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66&products_id=202. Because some ranges that I go to require that the bolt of the rifle be locked open during cease fires, I installed the Blackjack notched lever. The locking open is done manually so when the last round from a mag is fired, you still hear the "click." If the bolt has to be locked open, then you can use the lever to do so.

FCG from Red Star Arms, http://www.redstararms.com/

I carry six mags – either 20 or 30 round mags – five in a Chinese military bag from Cheaper Than Dirt. The sixth mag will be in the rifle.

One of my better acquisitions is the LulaLoader. [URL="http://www.maglula.com/"]www.maglula.com[/URL]
If you go to the site, just click on “Lula” in the upper left corner and then scroll down until you see the loader for the AK. If you don’t have one, you should.
Your thumbs will thank you!

I just got the second SAR-1 and as of yet have no pictures. Just visualize the first picture of this post as having black furniture and you will have a mental picture. I do have plans to modify it as well.

IMHO, the AKM is the Glock of rifles. It’s not pretty but it is rugged, reliable, runs with little or no maintenance, and like the Glock it can be dry-fired ‘til your heart’s content without damaging the firing pin or any other part of the weapon. The AKM is not as accurate as the AR but for the purpose for which the AK was designed and manufactured, it is an excellent weapon.

If you own an AK or if you are thinking about owning an AK, the “must visit” site on the web is Romanian Kalashnikov Rifles, http://www.gunsnet.net/Linx310/index.shtml.

The magic of the site is in its left column and although the site is primarily for Romanian made AKM rifles, the principles that are discussed will apply to almost any manufacturer of AKM rifles.

Flash Ninja,where did you find that Lancaster AK?Did you order from their factory or did you find it on the web?I am looking into one of these in a blonde wood or red wood pistol.

 

[Flash Ninja]

I bought that one local but it can be found at Atlantic Firearms as well.

It's the Lancaster Russian Red.

Had a WASR-10, under folder... fun to shoot, but found out folders don't do @#@! for aiming. Sold it, and actually looking into getting a CZ-58. I hear they're just as reliable, with better aim. Plus they come in milled receivers, and still have that classy AK look to 'em.

Couldn't find a picture, but did find a video I had uploaded. I'm not an AK junky, but...

I recently bought a Russian AK103 (Saiga). What a sweet shooting rifle!!

 

[sykostanger]

i have 2 saiga x39's, a wasr 10, and a bulgy slr-95

 

[dglockster]

My firearms are Glock pistols and AK rifles. With either of the two weapons, letting the trigger come forward just enough to reset itself really improves target reacquistion and accuracy. This technique also keeps one's finger on the trigger and reduces the chance of a "jerked" trigger.

This is an interesting thread on the Romanian SAR-1:
