Great thread, got to love the ak!

Those VEPRs are so tempting. I'd love to have one in 762X54.

I just got an AK-47.

I am looking at my options for Finishing and Furniture.
So I did a search and couldn't find a
Kalashnikova Porn Thread, so here it is.
Let's see what you've got INGO.​

Well to answer many questions in one post.

K, I will get some more pictures up. Shoots and handles great, I am currently looking for a load who's POA/POI roughly matches my practice ammo. (Wolf) I will be going out this evening to try some Rem. corelokt.

Jt, Gabe gave up on building these with the handguards. Not because they aren't good, they are, but because TWS just couldn't keep up with demand in any kind of reasonable time frame. There is nothing more frustating than ordering something, (especially something relatively high dollar) and then waiting around forever to get it. It was really a blow to the whole project.

Clay, that red dot won't be staying, I am trying to decide on some type of magnified optic, maybe a 1-4x of some sort. As soon as I pick something, I will get it on there. As much as I like red dots, IMHO they aren't the best for taking advantage of the .308's ballistics.

edit. back from the range. The Remington Core-lokt 150 gr's shoot to very close POI as my practice ammo. added benefit, its available at my local Meijer's.

Thanks for the pictures! I purchased the full rail system for my saiga from OST a few months ago, but i got an email the other day saying the manufacturer couldn't keep up with demand. I just re routed the money for a PWS muzzle device and some magazines. As soon as TWS can keep up with the demand I'll try again. Their hinged top cover is the bees knees.

Very nice. Also a very interesting picture. Not sure what Art Genre that fits into...AK, Nice Mountain Bike, all posed infront of a gas log fire place.

I aim to please the eye of many audiences, all at once. This way, I can post the same picture on a gun forum, a bike forum, and a gas log fire place forum.

Very nice. I'd love to add a milled to my commie rifle collection.

I've finally settled on a final configuration for my Saiga... well, I think I have.

I had an Aimpoint T-1 on the Midwest rail but it's found a home on my soon-to-be-SBR, so the Vortex SPARC replaced it. Added the Smith Vortex flash hider as the birdcage didn't work very well.

I may add a light in the future, a Haley Dropwing works well on the MI rail.

For those of you who want to "Keep that crap off my AK" I happily submit this pic of my Bulgy '74:

Picked up this AK for next to nothing:

After a few days of work - it doesn't look much better but at least it ain't white anymore...LOL

looks like a m1a/m14 mag doesnt it but this setup is just perfect changes my thoughts on tacticool ak's

I bet a little red mahogany stain and maybe a coat or two of Tung Oil and that wood will look great again!

Sparc doesn't cowitness, does it? It's too bad, I really like it.

Also nice to see an RAAC Saiga for that Hoosier flair. I need to find one well done or uncoverted in 5.45.

Good eye, they are based on the M14 mag.

I dont know if you will ever find an RAAC Saiga in 5.45. I bought one when they were first available and it had the RAAC import mark blocked out with that funky hatch marking. My guess is they were out of the Saiga import business before the 5.45s were released, but their might be some out there, Ive just never seen them.

Good point, they did import .223 right? I was thinking subcaliber AK and my brain went to 5.45.
