WASR stock screws for surplus stock?

Will my WASR stock screws (that hold stock to the receiver) work in a Romanian surplus stock? Stock comes without hardware so I ordered a trapdoor buttplate with matching buttplate screws but was wondering if my WASR receiver stock screws will work. Also does anyone know what kind of spring I can use inside stock for cleaning kit besides a surplus spring?

Got my PK-AS from Scopes-store.com

This thing is pretty sweet. I'll probably get another from them in the future. Also I have a bakelite pistol grip but I'm waiting for a screw.

Molot vepr or milled mak-90?

I have the option to buy both, vepr is factory but has a bullet guide installed, is there any chance that the bullet guide could be bubba’d and ruined the rifle? Its a 5.45, i know it has to have a specific bullet guide, the guy just said the previous owner installed it and its unfired. I like the milled mak 90 but it has a thumbhole stock and im having a hard time finding a nice furniture set for it, vepr is 1200, mak90 is 1700, but im pretty sure i can talk the mak90 down at least a few hundred bucks. Any suggestions?

I have an itch

New to the assault rifle world and for as much as most in person around me are pretty hard pressed to guide towards an AR, my inner childhood and excitement for the ak durability, aesthetics, and long history always makes me wonder why not just an AK? They’re badass. If I’m looking for defense purposes in the assault rifle world, have I come to the right place for direction towards the right one (reliability and functionality). Or do I belong in the AR forum? Thanks!!

Suppressed akm

Does anyone have any experience with Deadair's Wolverine? If so, what is your opinion on it? I've heard they can be a pain to install.

Saiga barrel conversion question

What do you normal do with the pin hole that will be exposed when installing a new front sight block on Saiga conversion? The new sight block will not cover it due to the placement of the original sight block being so far back. Is my only option a new barrel?

Build Mak-90??

I’m wondering if I should build my Mak-90 or buy another AK to deck out? I know the Mak-90 has history to it & I love the way it shoots which is why I feel like if I put better furniture, thread the barrel for a muzzle, keep the lovely trigger & mount a red dot it would be perfect. I would prefer to shoot it more than my DB15 honestly. But I’m just not sure if that would be overkill for a historic piece.

Let me know your opinions!

Has anyone ever made an RPK based on the M77 receiver?

Does an RPK chambered for .308 exist anywhere? If not, can I get a bipod mount and drum mags for the M77?

Ak ammo? 556 vs 762 vs 554

I want to buy an ak for the heck of it but 762 seems to be $$$$ compared to 556.

Any reliable 556 ak’s or should I just swallow the CPR for 762?

MAK90 Massachusetts guidance. Help

Hi folks, as you know last October, we had a harsh law passed in Massachusetts. I would like to add a cleaning rod to this firearm, but I will not risk changing the gas system as it’s risky and I can’t replace this firearm. I found a gunsmith that is willing to change the FSB and lower hand guard metal(one that has a hole in it). Would such modification give me any trouble possibly? Your guidance is much appreciated Thank you.
