"I wanted to invent an engine that could run for ever. I could have developed a new train, had I stayed in the railway. It would have looked like the AK-47 though."

Smoother than AR

I’ve noticed that the trigger pull in AK’s are always lighter and smoother than even the more expensive AR lowers I’ve had. This has become a really big deal to me and it’s the reason I won’t get AR’s anymore. They just feel awful to shoot compared to the cheapest AK.

I know it’s not a competition but I don’t understand why more people don’t talk about this. Every AR I’ve had had what feels like the triggers that are in spring powered air soft guns. I know I should get a gazelle trigger or a CMC trigger to see how it feels but it’s hard for me to justify spending more money on a gun I don’t like just to see if shoots like the guns I already like to shoot.

Have you noticed this?

Is this an ammo issue?

This is a newer 104. It went 500 rounds with the new AAC polycoating and another 100 of the Red Army Standard X39 no issues. I then shot some Bulgarian Surplus in about 40 rounds what I believe is primer backings filled up the firing pin housing and was producing light strikes and then eventually no strikes. Is this likely the result of overpowering/bad primers or is this something related to the bolt/BCG?

Checking Headspace

What is your favorite headspace gauge style and brand? PTG GO NO GO seems like the way to go (but expensive AF) and wanted to get your opinions.

I'm new to AKs, LGS has a WASR for 900

I haven't been able to look at it yet and don't know the round count. It seems that 900 is a pretty good price for a WASR, is that correct?

New to Al’s / scope mounts

This is my first AK, I bought a universal rail mount thinking it would fit without any issues but the piece wouldn’t even go on. Any clue what specific mounts might fight on this?
