Shooting the AK47

RangeReview asked:


My brother and I enjoying our constitutional rights on a nice saturday afternoon—– GP WASR-10 is a Romanian semi-automatic AKM (aka AK-47) clone. This version of the rifle has a pistol grip and can accept Hi-capacity magazines because the receiver was milled out. The end of the barrel has threads, a bayonet lug, and comes with a muzzle brake. It uses the standard AK-47 7.62*39 cartridge. The fit and finish of this rifle is average; this rifle has wood similar to the SAR and some minor machining marks. The glaring disadvantage of this rifle is some machining burrs on the mag-well should be removed with a file because it causes some magazines to fit tightly. Also this rifle lacks the dimples for to keep the Hi-capacity magazines from wobbling side to side, and instead have plates welding inside the receiver. This rifle has 10 Imported parts and 5 US parts. The advantages of this rifle are its reliability, cheap ammo, large selection of replacement parts, accepts single and double stack magazines, comes with a threaded barrel, and now has a bayonet lug. This is a good starter AK and is great if you cannot find a SAR-1, want to save some money, or want an AK that accepts both single and double stack magazines with all the post AW ban features.

Great source for AK info

    Gun shows, any where from $200-$650. Then you get into Arsenal Inc. and YugoM70s(Which can be as high as $1500) but are much better quality.

    This month I built a Polish Tantal in 5.45×39 and a PMKMS (underfolder in 7.62×39). I have many AK’s in 47 pattern as well as 74 pattern.

    Next month I’ll start on building the RPD!

    also dont forget that the interchangability of this gun is crazy!!! You could fit just about any stamped ak part from many other stamped ak’s!!!

    If the local gunstore does not have one, find a FFL dealer in town, order one online and have it shipped to his address, they usually charge around 20 bucks.

    There is no federal license required to own a Semi-auto AK in the USA.

    cosmoline is a homogeneous mixture of oily and waxy long-chain, non-polar hydrocarbons. Its most common use is in the storage and preservation of firearms. Previously, cosmoline was used to preserve other items. Objects the size of entire vehicles could be preserved for future use with cosmoline.
    It’s nasty shit, and it takes a few cleanings and shootings to get it all taken/burned off

    What exactly is cosmoline? I’ve read and watched stuff about the AK for a long time and never heard of cosmoline.
