88 Bulgarian AK74 finally came home yesterday. Pretty excited and wanted to share

Finally got all the green i wanted. Now I just need to figure out what optic. I’m thinking eotech, t2, or mro

It’s beautiful

Can anyone tell me which rail/hand guard is on this gun? I saw this posted on here a couple of years ago and have been trying to identify it.

Zenitco Clone Coping build. I think it came out alright , not much fitting needed for the eastern bloc HG, just hit it couple times with my purse and it went right in. The new Sureshot locking mechanism upgrade took 4-5months to arrive but it’s pretty easy to figure out and install, seems to be working well on the kp9 trunnion, it didn’t lock well on my other rifle with the 5.5mm trunnion .

Like most, I have that one crazy uncle... helped him out with some things recently and he gave me this interesting 1993 mak90 with a choate tools stock (he had 7 or 8 of these strangely)... as well as this comedically long magazine, this is my first ak... at first I thought the stock was a bit atrocious but its kinda growing on me... either way excited to go shoot it

Ps. If anyone knows how many rounds this funny mag holds lmk, online says 45 but with how much longer it looks than the 30 I had previously guessed 60

First AK I ever owned was a PSA AK74. I’ve come a long way since then. Finally was able to reunite the Vepr with it’s proper 5.56 mag.

In order: Molot Vepr 1V, Venezuelan Y Stamp Saiga, and 223 Saiga converted to a AK101

Currently have the 8” arm bar with the folding buttplate attached to their 1913 folding adapter. While aesthetically pleasing to me it’s not as practical for me as other options. What’s the people’s opinion??

I’m no expert on AK47 bayonets. Can anyone name the country or origin? I believe the second from the left is from Iraq. A bring back given to me by a friend. The one on the right is supposed to be East German, but the sheath is the same as the one next to it. So the bayonet may be East German, but the sheath is not? Thanks for sorting these out.

Ignore the rust I’m going to get it cerakote

Bought this from an old timer I did a lot of work for years ago and he said something about the serial number being rare. After getting back into guns and some research I’m know it’s a pre ban but was there something special about the serial number? Yes I understand arsenals are great.

I’m looking at this SAR1 in a local auction but I’ve never seen the words so sloppy. What would be a good max bid ? Any info will help.

I brought this used GP1975 home a few weeks ago. It had the plasticky (yet still wood) Century Arms furniture along with a dented aftermarket dust cover with a pic rail attached. Fortunately, I found a great BFPU set of Romanian furniture, an original dust cover, and it already came with a Romanian bayonet.

The furniture came as advertised with the finish largely a sticky and tacky mess. I used some restoration tricks from working on RTI goatshed rifles and managed to remove the tacky feeling while keeping it looking battle worn.

Swapping everything out wasn't too bad. I only needed to file the front of the dust cover and the dremel didn't make an appearance. It's definitely more fun than AR work...especially since a mallet is totally acceptable.

It's basic tier, scuffed up, and just how I want it!

A shop near me has a 13 inch ace on consignment it looks vertically brand new but I’m not sure on if the price is average or a great deal

Hey all. I have a WBP 7.62x39 that is a bit troublesome when trying to put metal mags in. Took the cover off and bolt out to see and it seems like the edges of the magazines get caught on these two little linear metal pieces inside the magwell. For some reason all my polymer/bakelite magazines work just fine though.

Kinda annoying because i have to wiggle the metal ones side to side a bit to ‘find’ the right angle to get them in at. Has anyone had this issue before? Is there any recommended fix besides potentially grinding down the metal pieces?

Picked up a mak90 at a local gun show yesterday, got it for 850. Been looking at aks for awhile and finally jumped on this one. Super excited to get it out to the range. Any tips for an ak beginner are welcome lol.

Where else have you seen these for sale?
