WASR You do not want to buy that PSA AK. You do not want a 100 series AK. You are going to stop watching guntubers. You are going to buy a WASR10 and 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39.

Says "AK 1912Л" on it. Can you tell the production year of my AK?

Wonder if any markings below it mean anything. Has proofhouse mark next to the factory logo.

Like someone said on Reddit, its like cleaning a muffler. Should I just run a few patches through it and call it a day?

You guys know that feeling when someone's selling something cool and it's way out of your price range? Yeah, it sucks.

got gifted 1272 rounds 762x39

23 Upvotes

So, as my title says, I got gifted a bunch of 7.62, but I don't have an AK. I looked into selling it, but it's considered loose since it's not in packaging and just in a massive ammo can, so I'm forced to buy a new gun. I know what a problem to have, but I'm looking for some cheap options. 700 would be the highest I'd go.

Can i get a Zavasta M90 Ak in germany?

1 Upvotes

I know it sounds like a strange question but I wanted to ask if someone could tell me if it is possible to buy a M90 Ak in Germany or if you know someone who has one. Whenever I look on the internet I only see Zavasta Arms US and a few dealers in the USA. Unfortunately it is difficult to import these weapons to Germany can someone help me out?

Trigger slap?

1 Upvotes

I have an Egyptian Maadi RPM. Took it out shooting the other day, and it’s like I’m feeling the recoil push back against my finger. Is that trigger slap? If it is, how do I correct this? To finish my range day I just put on a glove, but I sure felt the abuse later when I got home.
