Ak redpill thread

Yo dudes. I need ya'll to redpill my ass on AK's. I hear so many opinions. Pic related is an American made palmetto ak. I've ehard amazing things. Then I hear so many ak fanbois say "No only Norincos are best. No only yugos are best. No only Russians, Bulgarians, etc, are best AVOID AMERICAN" blah blah blah.

Is the Galil the best? What about the CZ bren in 7.62x39? What about the BRN-180 in 7.62x39? What if I pimp out my sks and make it take Ak mags?

Bestow your greatest knowledge upon me frens.

    The Galil Ace is objectively the best and it's also one of the best values out there. People just cope and see the because of antisemitism and muh polymer but it's 100% just the facts better than anything else out there.

    People cope so hard they call it not an AK. As for the actual "not AK" Kalashnikov inspired guns out there, the XCR-L is real nice for a Gucci gat and so is the 553 if you just want to flex.

        not him but i have a galil. Left side charging handle is best place to put one and it has a spring loaded dust cover to keep debris out. The handguard is not attached to the barrel so putting a load on it from a barricade or something doesnt affect POI. Safety located on both sides, the left side one is right by your thumb which is great, right side is on the reciever kind of where a typical ak has it.
        theres probably more but thats what ive noticed kicks ass when shooting mine. death to israel tho

        safety on both sides, charging handle on the left side so you don't have to do the reach-under or reach-over, optics-ready rail on dust cover, which is fitted tightly enough that it's actually useful for optics, and the handguard doesn't touch the barrel so it's more consistently accurate, and the FNC-style dust cover helps keep crud out, and a much better trigger copied from their sniper rifle.

    You're going to be into $2.5-3k territory with a Bren in 7.62 by the time you source a normal size rail and mags, assuming you can find any of the latter. I've shot Wasr's, Galils, and I own a Bulgy. They're all fine, they run well, they'll hold a fist size group off a bunny ear bag with something other than their notch sights. The Galil was the nicest and most accurate with higher quality ammo, just too but expensive to me for a knock around gun. I can't speak to Palmetto's recent offerings, but I'm optimistic.

        1. Yugos are made in a factory that has been making AKs for military use for at least 40 years. Zastava itself has been in business for over 100 years.

        2. Zastava is one of the more affordable and quality AKs on the market in the US and can compete with the famed WASR in terms of said quality and price.

        3. the Yugo pattern receiver and parts are thicker, stronger, and more durable than normal AKs because the Serbs know best.

        4. Zastava is one of the only companies importing worthwhile 5.56 AK47s into the US which even WASR wont bother with anymore.

        5. The Yugo pattern has proprietary handguards and stocks that are bigger and have more hand space/length of pull for big American men. Yugo hanguards also have one extra cooling vent for superior airflow.

        6. Zastava offers a variety of rifle length and pistol size AKs for prices below $1000.

        7. The Zastava M92 (pic related) is the only viable, affordable, AKS74u alternative on the US market and is very popular.

        Only Cugir with their WASR 10 rifle and Zastava with their rifles and pistols are the only viable AK47s on the US market right now. Arsenal is too expensive for the quality you get, commercial companies like WBP demonstrate potential but have no reputation unlike Zastava, and American AK builders are too cheap and lazy to train a skilled enough workforce to rivet AK47s together for 8 hours a day without terrible swings in quality control.

        The people who say that Zastava has "butter steel" are liars and slanderers who never substantiate their claims, just ask them for proof and you will see yourself that they are liars.

          Alternatively you could argue that serbian military arms are low quality even for the eastern bloc, that they had to reverse engineer and imitate the AK while bringing nothing new and useful to the design, and that their imports were infamously low quality without even chromed barrels before the current zpap series.

          Yugos are literally thicker because the metal is too weak to be strong enough to hold up with just a 1mm thin receiver. It's butter steel that's worse than PSA's.

          Zastava JUST started chrome lining barrels. You need to look into Chrome lining as a process to understand why this is concerning. They started doing it specifically to sell more units to the American market, they probably don't give a shit how accurate the barrels turn out so long as they're shiny and shut American consoomers up. They say chrome is always less accurate than a steel barrel, but that's BS. A shittily made steel barrel can be beat by a quality chrome lined barrel. There are ways to frick up a steel or nitride barrel in the same way a chrome lined barrel can easily be fricked up. Serbs are not exactly known for their skills in metallurgy, these chrome lined barrels they just started making are probably some of the worst in the world. I'd look up plenty of accuracy tests before pulling the trigger on one.

            It's not even 50% more expensive, and 300bonis much easier and cheaper to reload, as well as having hundreds more bullets options. And dozens more fsctory options, including high performance premium bullets, and can run suppressed and short, unlike x39

        The biggest issue is the headspacing and metallurgy.
        On an AK if it goes out of headpsace badly it can blow up and injure (or worse) the user. Great AKs hold their headpace for tens of thousands of rounds and if you're getting to the point where it needs adjustment you're probably doing a major overhaul on the rifle anyway.
        The quality of metals matters too if parts chip away and break your gun sucks but that's not AK specific. The only other things that make a good AK are accuracy and gassing

          Also QC for rivets and making sure things like the FSB and optics dovetail mount are straight. One of the biggest benefits of milled AKs is that you don't have to worry if some moron at the factory fricked up the rivets.

          Thank you anon. This was the answer I was looking for all along. I appreciate you. Seems like AK's are a b***h to tune with the gas. Also seems like their triggers and accuracy are generally shit. I have an sks Bubba project I'm working on. Guy says he can make it take standard ak mags for $500. I'm so tempted. I love my sks and this accurate af. No reason for me to blow $1700 on a Gucci ak that won't even have all the modern features I want.

            There are aftermarket pistons and triggers now that are practically drop-in parts.

    Here's the real redpill from someone who's been watching the AK market since like 2008.

    >idk about chinkshit, this was before my time so I can't comment.
    >PSAs are probably the best option at the moment, they're cheap enough and the quality is now decent enough, plus you have active customer support here in the US if something is wrong with it
    >Romanian and Serbian AKs have ALWAYS. BEEN. SHIT. their quality level has come up quite a bit, but they're still so cobbled together they hurt to even look at. They have the proven longevity factor going for them, meaning we know they'll last decades whereas we don't know if PSAs will yet because they haven't been around for decades. These options are overpriced for what they are though.
    >Polish AKs are being seriously overlooked as a good current import option that's not too expensive
    >Saigas are still the best, if you can find an un-bubba's one for sale around $2,000 go for it, here's why:
    >Bulgarshit AKs are still around $2,000 as well, and Bulgarshit has always been a meme. They're a shithole country on the same tier of trash as Romania and Serbia, their rifles are put together like shit and spray painted, and they're not even AK100 pattern anymore since Izhmash sued Arsenal Bulgaria for stealing their rifle specs, so they switched up the design. Price and quality considered these are one of the most pointless options to get when you can get a real AK100 pattern Saiga that price. If you're a true enthusiast and want the AK to be your one dependable rifle, get the real thing and be done with it, they really aren't that expensive since the country was flooded with them for cheap ~10 years ago.

      Special notes:
      Don't get an SGL21 Saiga for $5,000+, those are joomers trying to screw you. I'm sitting on an Atlantic converted Saiga with less than 100 rounds through it that I'd take $2k for, that's a reasonable price to sell it for considering other "high end" AKs are just a hair under that, and high end VZ58s (we're seriously overlooking these too, they're awesome and around the price of AKs now). Don't bother with Veprs, Zastavas, and Arsenal milled receivers because you're going to run into issues with furniture or stock adapters you might want. Keep it standard platform. PSA even made a huge improvement by making the rear stock tangs removable so we no longer have to chop them off to mount folding stocks. I hope PSA continues to make improvements until they're better than Russian AKs. Fat chance though, their longevity is shit and that's a major factor to consider with AKs, you want it to last multiple lifetimes so you can hand it down. PSAs are proven to beat themselves to shit due to being made of soft metal and not put together straight so parts slam into each other.

        I haven't handled one so I won't comment. I should specify these are all AKs I've personally handled. There's a noticeable difference in quality when it comes to the Saigas. Feels solid and the action is smooth. Arsenals feel hollow and the actions are often off from being true. Romanian and Serbian actions are laughably rough, the fitment is shit and the finish is diarrhea. The Serbs are also extremely heavy. I had a stockless PAP pistol that was noticeably heavier than my full length Saiga with a metal tube stock. No mags fit in that gun without filing either, which I've heard is an issue with Romanians as well.

      Oh boy someone call up Kazakhstan I'd like to pay $10,000 for their version of the AK? Wait does Nigeria make one? I must satiate my urge to overpay for trash.

      At this point everyone should just buy PSA until these greedy like importers are forced to bring their prices down. Ridiculous you kids are paying this much when that's got to be what you have left over from like 4 paychecks.

      The Galil ace is the gayest "AK" on the market. If I wanted a plastic receiver I'd get a Nerf. Nothing about plastic screams AK, it's just a different rifle concept at that point. If you want all those pointless features like boolt hoold oopen, boolt release, etc then get a VZ. They're also lighter and more accurate.

        Ace doesn't use a plastic receiver. It uses a plastic magwell and only on the variant no one buys.

          Why do you lie when some other israelite shill posted one right below you proving you wrong? It's the entire lower receiver.

          Galil ACE is the best AK you can buy on the primary market right now, even though I like the Gen 1 better than the Gen 2. Milled Arsenals are also good, but overpriced. The stamped AKs from Zastava, WPB, etc. are also not bad, but they lack the modern features of the IWI Galil ACE and Arsenal SAM7SF.

          All that being said, now is a terrible time to buy an AK. Steelcase 7.62x39 is more expensive than 5.56 brasscase right now according to Ammoseek. You missed the boat and should wait for the market to recover from Biden's ammo ban if it ever does.

          Galil Ace is not an AK and it's not good. It doesn't do anything better than the AK. If you want the best not-an-AK platform it's hands down the VZ58. You can put your gay thumb selectors and bolt releases on it, and it's actually lighter and more accurate. It does thongs better than the AK at least and there's no fricking plastic critical components (except the trigger on the CSA model but that's for import reasons, swap it out).

            It is an AK and it has ambi selector, left-side charging, sealed internals, and LRBHO on the 5.56 versions. It comes factory with upgrades you would normally have to go to the aftermarket for other rifles like rails, ergo grip, and a folding stock. It has a CHF CL barrel with concentric threads and a machined receiver. It's the best AK you can buy off the rack hands down.
            >If you want the best not-an-AK platform it's hands down the VZ58.
            You can't even mount a scope on those things since it ejects directly upward.

              It is NOT an AK and it DOES have a plastic lower receiver, which it has because it's not a fricking AK. It's not Kalashnikov pattern, it's not AKM pattern, it's not AK100 pattern, it is its own proprietary pattern you fricking dimbecile. It has zero commonality with the AK pattern just like the old Galil, which is not an AK due to zero parts commonality.

              VZ has left side charging option as well, and lrbho on 7.62x39 versions. It's more accurate than your Galil, Shlomo. I'm sorry you get paid to shill such a terrible gun. That's got to be the worst option discussed ITT, AK dudes do not want fricking plastic on their guns aside from furniture.

          As for guns being more "complicated" than your television, which part are we talking about? Older cathode ray tubes, or newer LED tech that digitally covers 16,700,000 colors (not even remotely close to the full human eye gamut). Or did you mean the part where it transports dozens and dozens of image, with audio, per second into digital EM radiation or flickering electrical signals that can be transported across space?

      Go jack off with your aluminum piece of shit. AKs are designed to be robust and fool proof like tanks. GayRs are designed to be finicky yet precise like airplanes. Go figure that one was made by a tank engineer and one by a plane engineer. Pick which qualities you prefer.

      So are PSAK47's good or not? You morons are as contradictory as women in this thread.

      They're fine, just fine. The only major issue I've seen is that the internals aren't pretty after several thousand rounds, they get beat up internally, the rear of the BCG mushrooms. Probably a soft metal issue. They're not going to blow up but this will affect very long term longevity. It's about the only issue PSA AKs still have so hopefully they fix it by using a higher grade of metal.

          There's a couple reviews I've seen where the guy opens up his PSA after 2000 rounds or so and the inside is all beat up. The BCG face slams into the barrel face and marrs the metal, the rear tab of the BCG mushrooms early on from hitting the back of the receiver. These are the newest gen models and they still have that issue.

        5.56 AKs are becoming more popular now, but I wouldn't bother with a 7.62x39 AK right now unless the ammo situation improves. Supposedly KUSA and PSA are working on providing ammo now, but I think it's going to take a while to fill the void left by Russian ammo. It might be another year or two before steelcase 7.62x39 becomes cheap again.
