I have a wbp 556 kit along with a Childers 556 receiver. Looking for a tantal clone-ish build. Anyone have any recommendations for the northeast? Thanks!

Anyone have experience with Pro2 Customs FakeBake magazines?

Wondering if they are decent (and by decent I mean a reasonable convergence of reliable and aesthetics). Yes, I can afford real ones but no, I have other hobbies to divert money to when I can. Thanks for any insight!

9mm AKs that use a gas system?

I was just wondering if there are any 9mm AKs that use a gas system instead of direct blowback? Especially since there are other guns like the MPX which use a gas piston.

Help with replacement parts

I know this is an ak47 subreddit but maybe someone here can help me or lead me to a different subreddit where I could possibly find an answer. Since K-USA is no long, I’m looking for the part pictured above for my KP9 for the folding stock. Im not familiar with “ak” pattern riffle so I’m not sure if they are compatible with other brands and what not.

Barrel Profile on ZPAP M70 vs WASR10

Hey y’all,

I like big beefy barrels on my long guns. I don’t own a ZPAP. I do however have a WASR10. I also have an Arsenal SAM7. I must say, the barrels feel very thin on both(WASR and SAM7), and I’m not too happy with that. Looking at pictures online, the barrel on the M70 LOOK thicker. To those of you fine folk who own both, which has a thicker barrel? TIA.

Modern, classic, half & half, I love em all.

Sar-1 kitted out, & two mak 90's. Yes it would be nice to have the classic mak fully debanned and all of them threaded, maybe one day.

All coming together.

Almost done with accessories for the WBP. RS Regulate mount and red dot are on their way. After that, it's just muzzle device and maybe a stock change.

KUSA Prices ⬆️ 🌔???

With the ending of KUSA, it looks like the majority of KP/KR 9s on GB have all disappeared. The few that remain are double MSRP.

Are they going to be the next Norinco / Polytech?

Cheap 7.62 vs expensive

Hey y’all, weird question I guess. So I have a KUSA KR-103 and I’ve noticed something kinda odd, my rifle seems to not function great when I use high quality ammo. I bought some expensive brass 7.62 from the Czech Republic and it feels like my rifle is really sluggish when using it compared to cheap Red Army or Wolf ammo. I have heard around some parts of the internet that brass case doesn’t work as well in AK platforms but is there any true to that statement?

GunMagWarehouse Bulgarian 5.45 Reinforced Mags

I figured these mags were good to go based on what others have said. Just needed to make sure my Tantal liked them. It does.

Only mag dumped 180 rds into trash today, but there's always tomorrow.

For like 10 bucks a piece these are no brainers. Not quite as beefy as my milsurp 10s and 21s, not as much LARP drip as the bake 45s. But definitely solid mags.
