Just a place to talk about Kalashnikov rifles

[Edwardteach72]

Any opinions on this one by Riley Defense? I'm kinda partial to wood furniture, but I don't know about using a spur grip.

I've tried a spur grip and they are (personally) useless for anything other than bench shooting

Same here. Tried it on an AR and holding it one handed is very difficult. Ran into problems with it running drills opening and closing doors in my home. That trigger guard extension helps but not fully. I went back to a thorsden stock afterwards.

Thordsen also makes an AK adapter

I think your stock is better. I do not care for all the extra plastic on the thordsen stock.

Oh 100% agree and that's why i went with the NYLAK stock over the thordsen. And its a fraction of the cost

Going through the AMD-65 parts kit and some extras. Included two different style of side folders, one goes to the left side and the other to the right side.

 

[Will556]

When you’re going through the parts kit and realize it still has all the components for the giggle switch. Auto sear, rate reducer, auto sear spring, and full auto profiled safety.

Which I guess those components are not classified as machine gun parts or whatver..

AK guy talks about that in the video

I like his channel, he’s funny as shit. lol Also don’t have a bastardized carrier. It has the proper profile.

Yea he seems like an alright dude.. i like about 90% of him but that's a whole separate topic of discussion..

But I am going to be pumped when he finally releases his AK-50

And another package delivered just a little bit ago. Only waiting on the Zenitco RP-1 now before shipping it off to CW Gunwerks.

To be fair, the difficulty in holding it is also more of a defense in why it doesn't give you a "pistol style" grip -- since no one can argue it's nearly as secure of a hold / doesn't consist of using all your fingers like a pistol grip.

Literally the only reason I keep it on the rifle is that it's the most compliant option I can have, short of no grip option at all.

Agreed it isn't very secure, though.

Hope to hear a review

After months of scrimping and saving I have finally purchased a Galil Ace 5.56 pistol w/brace. I also hit the insta-outfit button and also purchased a Trijicon MRO, a Modlight Plvh2 with Arisaka picatinny scout mount and a Nightstrike Diamondback AFG.
It will be some weeks before everything arrives.

Umm I am pumped AF to see when you get this all put together.

Have you picked a backpack for the set up..

And jm also extra excited to hear that you went with the plhv2 (im guessing the 18350 body? )

I have a ratty old bag that I want to see if the Galil will fit in. And yes the 18350 version. Little gun needs a little light.
I'm going to stick with the factory handguard.

I think the 18350 will be perfect ok that galil, and you won't have to sacrifice actual performance, just a slight loss of run time (and 35 min is not a bad run time for what the light is and will be used for)


Also Vertx if that bag you have doesn't work.. discount code Garandthumb for 25% off.

Not sure if the ace will fit in the Ready Pack 2.0 but if it does, super nice backpack that doesn't even in the slightest scream "gun" im actual looking at getting one eventually as just a backpack. (And with discount code it comes to like $126 free shipping)

I will be trying a battered old piece of carry-on luggage. Its as non tactical as can be. The Ace pistol is a very short gun with its 8.3" barrel and folding stock. I'm pondering zeroing it @25 yards instead of my typical 50.

50 is flatter than 25 even for shorter distances. With a 25, anything past 25 and you are high.

With an 8.3" barrel? Also since it's a defensive gun for use at very close range I was thinking about minimizing hold offs.

 

[Marine Cpl]

If you shoot at less than 25 yards with a 50 yard zero it’s only 2 inches low at most. That’s not very much.

If you shoot at less than 25 yards with a 25 yard zero, it’s a little flatter at certain points within the 25 yards but after 25 yards it goes really high. Especially at 75 yards or so.

I do not think velocity plays into anything substantial at that short of a distance. A 62 gr from a 7.5 inch barrel is still going 2300 fps.

Download one of those ballistic calculator apps that let you play with the velocity.

Clearly some futzing about at the range is in order. Frankly though if things go down the way I hope they don't but nonetheless plan for I will be using this thing at powder burn range and none of this will matter.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Here are my numbers plugged into a ballistic calculator. It’s a 62gr .223 with a muzzle velocity of 2300 fps and a 1.5 inch bore height for an optic. The drop is measured in intervals of 5 yards.

25 Yard Zero



50 Yard Zero

 

[Podmonkey]

Well, the arrangements between the relevant FFLs have been made and now it is the waiting game. And hope that some of my more venomous online anti communist invectives haven't put me on a watch list.

 

[Podmonkey]

I almost forgot to get the Noveske KX5 flash can. I just rectified that just now.

What brace did you go with?

 

[Podmonkey]

What brace did you go with?

The one that IWI supplies.

its similar to the SOB47 but has the Galil Ace folding hinge incorporated.
IWI sells models with this already attached, which is what I got.
