MD63, MD65, MD90, AMM, AMMS, AMD-65, M70B, M70B1, M70AB, M72 (yugo RPK) PSL, Circle 11 AKMS, M77, Galil 556, VZ58, - kits I've built, or that I have all the parts for and will build just enough to get grandfathered in before the due date. My state is about to ban these as assault firearms so thinking about if I should get another kit with some extra receivers I have.
Working on a franken 556 using a Bulgarian triangle folder on a 74 frame and a WBP trunnion 😝. Have another 74 receiver and trunnion set, was gonna do a 545 but haven't decided. I thought about an AIMS (MD86) build, I had a full parts kit and matching receiver, barrel etc but unfortunately sold it on GB in like 2021. Made bank, to be sure, but ever since...I miss it, lol.
I have 2 more 80% AKM receivers. I sold a handful on GAFS recently and I have two more left. Debating if I should pick up the east German kit from royal tiger and start on one of those clones. I have another Romanian triangle folding stock so I was thinking of another one of those clones, or another feanken build of some kind. Or, just sell them and put the money towards some barrels I need.
Need some ideas, cash available is about $500. The east German sets from RTI are $199. They're incomplete but would be enough to get started, the important parts are there anyway. East German stock sets routinely under $50, etc.
What do you think? If you can't tell I love AKs, haha.
For example, "the r/millennials mods are gay," etc.
I grew up never using gay to mean homosexual, it grew from a word meaning happy (I'm so pretty, oh so pretty and witty and gay!) to meaning *that* kind of happy, and also had I feel like a second parallel meaning of...generally something that...what? What's the meaning, in English lol, of how we used "gay" pejoratively?
Struggling to articulate exactly. Like something wasn't fair, or wasn't right, or...something like that.
Anyone have a non fudd FFL in RVA they can recommend who does engraving?
The one I've been dealing through has been questioning stuff like my AK receivers - "Well you know if those are foreign made I'm going to have to report you to the ATF.."
Yes, foreign military receivers, they're illegal for import. When you buy kits, frame parts etc they are torch cut. But not foreign made receivers universally..like there would be no AKs, no Turkish guns, no FN, no Glocks, lol. Wow!
And then, when I picked up a 100% milled receiver, he said Now remember you're going to have to do a form 1 for that.
No, bro! I don't, lol, it doesn't apply, I'm not making an SBR. I'm not making a firearm, this receiver is literally the firearm, which is why I'm transferring through you. Even if I was making a PMF, a form 1 doesn't apply.
Who is someone else I can use? I feel like I'm going to get reported by someone who doesn't know how the rules work.
I buy AK kits and receivers and get them engraved to match the kit, the trunnion serial numbers, etc. It's a fun hobby to rebuild these battle used kits and whatnot. Some of them are 80% and so I want a good option to get those compliant as well.
Sitting on 10 kits or so that I've collected over the years so I'm buying frames right now and would like to get the rest of them transferred through someone else, but who also does engraving.
There are a couple options for those of you stacking up on mags that you want to last for a long time. Idk, I like the stainless steel mags the best. Pmags are great and I've gotten a ton from those PSA deals and buying locally every range trip back in the day. But for loading up with ammo and throwing in a 40mm can/ box for a rainy day, I feel better about the metal mags and specifically steel.
Nothing wrong with aluminum mags, have some that run great as well. The weight of the steel tho, idk, it's special. But I'm a big AK guy as well so maybe that's why. Anyway, below:
$8.99, made in Israel

$9.99, made in Korea
https://centerfiresystems.com/korean-ar-15-30rd-223556-blued-steel-mag-mag0301/
Last month they had these for $6.99? I think, and I picked up a bunch.
Seem to be the same as the duramags basically, which run great in my experience.
I've also seen the same ones made in Bulgaria though I've never tried.
I seem to be one of the lucky people who have had zero issues with Korean mage mags of any kind.
I've never tried the made in Israel brand but I just ordered 10 of the 30 and a few of the 20rd as well.
My goal is at least 10 for each AR present and future (future being, the number of lowers I have). Still have a way to go but buying $100 worth here and there every week or so until July. Kills you on shipping but it's less of a wallop to the wallet, though you do get to jump on the deals as they come up so I think it makes up for it.
Anyway just thought I'd share.
