My Yugoslavian friend is here

Terrible pics, I know. Just got a chance to play with it.

The finish is awesome, no mag wobble at all.

I spent about 20 minutes trying to get the dust cover back on, it was pissing me off to the point I wanted to yell

I have one I got in a trade with a member here, absolutley love mine, added an Ultimak top rail/gas tube and MRD. There is a trick to putting the top cover back on, the button on the side of the receiver you push to press the release on the top, just dont push it on re-assembly until you have the cover back on and lined up.....

It has the little button on the right side of the dust cover that holds the take-down button in place, right?

If so: When you go to reassemble the dust cover, keep the take-down button in front of that button, push the cover in place then simply push the release button and the take-down will snap in place.

If not: Just barely hook the recoil spring guide on the rear support below the notch that it normally rests in. Hold the dust cover in place with your left hand and then firmly rack the bolt with your right.

I think I did your last step. I don't let the recoil spring fully seat, then I press the little button. I've field stripped it about 3 times now, just trying to get familiar with it. It's truly a wonderful piece of machinery.

If the weather clears up, i'll put some Monarch through it tomorrow. I got a Pro Mag for it for my bday...hope it cycles properly. I hear they're junk =\

 

[DirtyD]

I hope that is sarcasm, the Yugo built AK's are some of the better ones out there, they are built on a RPK receiver using a heavier than standard barrel. You do need to make sure you swab the barrel regularly if you shoot corrosive ammo as they are not chrome lined....

Sweet AK bro!

Grab yourself a can of this Barricade and then no worries about rust or dust!

Sarcasm on which account? I am refering to the Pro Mag 30rd magazine as being junk, atleast from what i've heard.

Everyone told me the M70 was the best bang for the buck as far as AK's go. A little more pricey than the WASR10, but a lot more rifle. The fit and finish is great, and i'm happy there is no mag wobble or canted sights.

Is the wire folding stock comfortable? I've seen one guy put a padded stock on it

 

[DirtyD]

The recoil out of an AK is surprisingly soft, I was unsure of the folder from a recoil standpoint as well as I am planning on using mine in several high round count classes, but I think you wil find it negligable....

 

[Adionik]

I enjoy the feedback to an extent.

I will say, this weapon could get very heavy after a few rounds. I am going to purchase a UTG quad rail and mount my foregrip with hopes of handling it easier. Still weighs a decent amount, but very solid.

 

[swsmailman]

Where you get the AK from? I might be looking for one after my tax refund check comes in.

 

[Adionik]

I got this one from AIMSurplus, although Classicarms.us carries it as well. Paid $489 shipped. Then the $20 FFL.

I took it to the range today, thing shoots like a a dream. Reminds me of my glock...no problems and ugly as hell! LOL.

I will post up some pics in a little. My GF managed to load like 33 bullets in a 30rd magazine...that was interesting to say the least.

Gonna have to get a small recoil pad. It doesn't have a kick, but it eventually digged into my shoulder

 

[SiNNiK]

Congratulations. I love mine. Gets hot though huh?

The only padding I put on mine was to wrap the left leg of the folding stock (7 strand paracord) because when it's 95 degrees (or 30) outside, the metal gets really hot (or cold) on your face real quick.

 

[Adionik]

Yes, it gets very hot. It was smoking most of the time I was shooting it...

 

[M. Sage]

They're great, they're just a tad heavy. I've got one with the wood hand guards on it and that sucker runs around 10 lbs loaded.

 

[Adionik]

Yeah they are heavy.

I can only imagine what a 75 round loaded drum does to it. I still intend on getting one just to "have". Any suggestions on what brand to get?

Shooting without the fold was fun lol

 

[Adionik]

Edit, nvm. just removed that dumbass button altogether

 

[M. Sage]

They must not have staked it in right. That sucks, because that button is one of the better features on that rifle. Every AK should have it.

It kind of slowed me down, but the overall quality of the Ak is still amazing. I'm happy with it

man thats one hot yugoslavian chick

 

[2rowdy]

I have a twin to that yugo and I love it.
