With Arsenal you are getting an AK pattern rifle that militaries around the world still procure because of the quality and support. The only other AK manufacturer in this league is Izhmash-Kalashnikov Concern, which is no longer imported because of the ban. Saigas and Arsenals are the best mass produced AKs and worth every penny.
@@EliteManMonkey russia makes the best aks period. I have owned serbian, russian, bulgarian, hungarian and american made aks. Cugir in Romania is still just a Romanian ak. Basically low end of the European aks.
i have arsenals, but its far from my fav, and not the best performing by any means, idk if reddit was around 4 years ago but by the feeling i get from ur comment im pretty sure i know where you get ur info lol
@@st4y_mad787 Who the hell liked that bullshit you said? Currently own 2 imports and had an Npap I sold. The American made Centuries are the problem but CAI wouldn't be in business if they imported shit.
If you feel the itch to do another build video Atlanticfirearms has build kits on old AKs. I picked up a barreled Romanian kit, all the major components minus barrel and reciever are numbers matching and front trunnion is dated 1974. Got an old Romy stock set on gunbroker and a ALG trigger and it runs like a raped ape
@B real if you haven't considered the IWI Galil ACE, it's a worthy contender. They are made in Israel, imported by IWI in Harrisburg PA, and the quality is superb. Check out the Galil ACE 7.62x39 rifle, and comes in a pistol too. They are expensive but they'll last a lifetime, and then some.
It depends what you're looking for. The original AKs were more like the Arsenal rifles, so us AK guys tend to hold it in high esteem as even Kalashnikov himself praised the Bulgarian rifles as some of the finest made.
Dude you don’t know what you’re talking about.the Arsenal is more of an authentic military ak than the American receiver century build...if the arsenal had wood furniture I think you would look at it differently.just because something “looks” the part doesn’t mean that it is.
Daniel W you can add any beautiful wood furniture you want. Do a google search of photos for “Arsenal Wood Furniture AK”. Get one! It’ll last forever and you can shoot a nice rifle for life!
@Daniel W yes yes yes, a little spendy at 129 bucks but go to Atlantic firearms and look for polish milled AK furniture, holds cleaning kit, and everything. It's mill surp and it is in great shape. Also holds a cleaning rod, I got some for my arsenal Sam7r
From what I understand the Arsenal receiver is built in America using the Bulgarian forging specs. Best receiver for production rifle? Most likely. I forgot where or who but moresy, however spelled builds receivers for nodak or childers. Both are considered top tier for American builds. I seriously have too much shit to retain to remember exactly but that’s the basics. Currently the most authentic AK you can get is the z pap. They come with their country of origin build with internals and the magazine body. The spring, follower, OR mag plate and follower are American for 922 compliance. Rest is pure YUGO... maybe some bullshit grip, brake, gas block or some shit but internally and furniture wise it’s the most complete import
The receiver is made, milled and mostly assembled in Bulgaria and then imported to the US. The sas 7 or something like that is a Bulgarian receiver milled and assembled in the US. Two different models.
I've owned and fired numerous century AKs and other guns imported and/or refurbished by Century Arms. My father was a class 3 dealer for over 20 years and we live in Boca where Century is headquartered. I remember when I was a teenager we would visit the warehouse and check out all the newest stuff. Back then it was all surplus, there was all kinds of surplus handguns from everywhere and definitely no Caniks or Kalashnikovs that weren't from the Easter block. All of those AKs ran without any problem. But when they started to make their own they had some issues just like everyone else who starts to manufacture Kalashnikovs. But if you want your AK to have a serial number with your b-day you have to build it or have it built. So those cheap Century AKs make a great base to build off and learn about the design. The barrels are excellent. In my opinion all you might need to do is replace the bolt carrier and make sure the fitting is right Believe me the "cool factor" when you build your own AK is way way cooler than any AR. And no it's not milled I got my reciever from Nodak Spud The best upgrades other than a good folding stock in my opinion are the gas tube rail, a good red dot sight on top of that and a forward vertical grip. You won't need anything else except good magazines
It’s basically a Bulgarian AR M1 without select fire. This is the closest you will get to a gun that is actually being fielded in hot zones around the world. The Bulgarians are selling these in the Middle East, so technically this is a weapon of war.
I bought my SAM7R last year and it has become one of my favorite rifles. I highly recommend the Manticore Arms Nightbrake Compensator. Add the Annihilator optics combo from AK Operators Union and you will have an AWESOME setup. Oh, I also replaced the shitty standard grip with an Arsenal SAW grip. Much more comfortable!
About the same as you. Got one last year, soo smooth. Ive got magpul pg, midwest mount and sig romeo, alg trigger, wolff recoil spring, 74 brake, makes my ar buddies hate hard. I dont even care about my own ars anymore! Just got a sfk now here it goes..
I LOVE my scar, ar’s, lever and bolt guns but damn if my Krebs doesn’t end up always being pulled back into my hands! haha. There’s just something in particular about the nostalgic badassery of an ak that sets it apart. Being a cold war era weapon that’s still as relevant and able today as it was then, says everything, really, regarding its pure effective reliability to get the job it was made to do done, and done well. It’s an icon in and of itself, beyond just the confines of the firearms world, and is a prominent feature on more than one nations flag for good reason. haha. Good shit, as always, Mr. Havok! You never cease to outdo yourself, time and time again.🤙🏽
I know exactly what you’re talking about with the Arsenal’s sterile feeling. I threw wood furniture on my SAM7R to try to compensate. Look forward to seeing how your thoughts after you put rounds through it.
Have same rifle that came packaged exactly how your came! I dremeled the Magpul forearm to fit. Just wish they made a AR-15 buffer tube adapter to fit without having to cut off one of the tangs. But it my first AK and my only AK.
Absolutely, and the receiver is guaranteed for 150K rounds which means your grandkids will still be using it. Just be prepared for the sticker shock, but if you want a military grade AK, there is no substitute. Go SAM7R milled and SAM7SF milled.
Back in 2002 purchased an Arsenal SAM7 for 525.00 dealer cost from FAC in Minneapolis. At that time they only made milled receivers. Since then it has had around 23 thousand rounds of Wolf ammo through it. It has only failed about 5 times. The failures were magazine related. To this day it still has had no parts changed out. The flash suppressor is fixed and can not be removed,because of the 1994 gun bill. It has been a great gun. Also have a waser 10 AK it has finger slap. The Arsonal sam7 does not have finger slap. Shoot 1500 rounds in one day and you will not like finger slap.🙂
The brake that comes with it works pretty great in comparison to the slant brake. It tends to feel like it pushes straight back where as the slant feels like it whips to the side more. Just my opinion. Great video.
Another very informational video, I personally have no clue about AK's, but I feel like I know more know ha ha 😉 All this time I thought you were waiting for new carpet and the yellow was leftover adhesive from original carpet 😆😂🤣 Very industrial looking carpet and very different 👍
You seem like a cool dude, whatever you do for "work" would probably have me seething with jealousy haha, just watched my first video on your channel, the 249 un-boxing and after scrolling through your videos for 2 seconds I've decided to subscribe. Thank you documenting and sharing your collection with us. And I hope 2019 is a good year for you brother. Keep up the good content
*Sean Havok* is your century Al Wasr, a Ras 47, or a C39/C39V2? I'm asking because Ras 47s are literally dangerous, as can be the C39, however the Wasr is a GEM that is amazing and totally underrated for no reason.
Sean I've been watching your videos and I also have a scar 17s. Is that scoop a 1x4? If so how do you like it? I was thinking 1x6. I just haven't been wanting to pony up 1600 for the vortex.
I don't have an AK and had never really been interested In them. But today You and Tactical Toolbox put out AK videos. Damn... Guess when I'm off the college budget I'm getting an AK! Lol
It's 5 hours of cold hammer forging and milling/machining into each rifle. Takes 2 hours to cold hammer forge each one from my understanding with talking to Arsenal reps.
Watching this video I’m going to go out on a limb and say you prefer military surplus firearms for the history. That owning an older scarred up AK that’s actually been in a war (or at least some of the parts have) does something for you. The Arsenal is still a better rifle and there’s no getting away from that. Try shooting them side by side.
Dude if you could, please do a review on the B&T APC 308. I bought one and it is a machining masterpiece (It's built like a freaking tank NO JOKE). Additionally, it shoots very, very soft and it's accurate as hell!
I have a century arms polish tantal 74 and i fucking love it. I’ve never had any real malfunction with a few thousand rounds through it. Century products are hit or miss but worth the money.
for what its worth, ive owned a number of century aks and although they've more or less gone bang when i pulled the tigger, theyve had some major quality control issues wasr 10/63 with canted front sight gp1975 with canted rear sight polish akms with canted barrel (yes, entire barrel was crooked to the receiver) ras47 with so much mag wobble the mag would become canted enough to actually stop the bolts forward travel. glad you have a good quality one, but id never touch a century product again
Conner I’m a little late on the reply but I’d say your main problem was buying a ras47. I wouldn’t waste my time pisssing down the barrel of one of those
Are you even watching the same video? That's a polish parts kit built by century on a nodak NDS-1. Look closer it has dimples and is not a wasr. The older century parts kit guns like the polish Pmkms polish Milled and yugo m70ab2's were actually decent guns.
Kind of curious what the difference in weight between the 2 are since one of them is milled and one stamped. Lemme know if you get a chance to weigh them!
I own a Sam7 and a 107 sr. If you want an ak, they are the ones to have. They come off the same line as the 100 series made for the. Bulgarian military. They do not come any better, unless you go full custom.
Hey do you happen to know what year the arsenal you have was produced? It looks like a newer production. Very nice rifles by the way, both of them are sweet. Dont worry, everythings gonna be ak
If u run across a vepr fm47-11 😉 Russian beast battle ready , u will buy it , it's alittle heavy but I think it's original look and made in Russia gives it alot of character and way better then arsenal , don't have wood on mine yet but it will someday maybe , right now it's for comfort and home defense , buts it's on here in a qk video , love the videos 👍👍 😀
When are you getting the New GEISSELE Full Rifle? It looks cool . I would buy it if I could afford it as it being their first Full Rifle is bound to be an Investment and only go up in Value . Especially if one gets in a lower serial Number . I Know you use their triggers in most of you stuff.
Your Arsenal has a spring loaded firing pin as opposed to most AKM's on the market. I can appreciate battle worn, beat up rifles like a cosmoline coated SKS as well as a safe queen long term investment SAM 7R. Just like I can appreciate different styles of architecture... mid-century modern or craftsman style. Both have their good points. It's all in the eyes of the beholder.
The whole time Im wondering why the heck did he buy that SAM7 for . He obviously is turned off by the Rifle... btw even tho Arsenals are new production they are manufactured by a very historical former eastern commbloc manufacture . Which is cool in my book . Having a newly Manufactured factory AK made by a Military Arms manufacture is not a bad thing .
Have you ever checked out the Ak Guys Aks he's selling.there petty kool.haven't had one in my hands but looks by all means really good quality and attention to detail.just thought id throw that out to ya
I can appreciate wanting a battle worn AK because it looks cool but take from a guy that was issued a rusty, battle worn AK in Afghanistan. My first contact with that rifle I was able to get off 2rds before it failed. At that moment I would have given anything for the Arsenal. You can always give it the Khyber pass look.
Michael Call I have a really old Hungarian parts kit build that I have put through hell and it looks like total shit. Rust everywhere and the finish is totally gone basically but I've kept the inside mint. I think that's the key, you can have a "battle worn" ak that is amazing but just for the love of god keep the inside from rusting
I will take the chromed line cold Hammer forged Barrel made by Steyr with a milled and more accurate receiver please. That sam7 is sexy. Centry has stepped their game up for the 4 or so years though. But we all have different tastes. You like that rugged combloc style.
Dude I got a Galil ACE pistol w/folding brace chambered in 7.62x39 Going to be my backpack battle rifle/Truck gun on layaway currently at my local gun shop
@@hvkrev2 I could go buy a WASR today but iv sorta been of the buy once cry once mindset. I have also felt the same in terms of Ak aesthetics. I was gonna throw some wood furniture on mine.
With Arsenal you are getting an AK pattern rifle that militaries around the world still procure because of the quality and support. The only other AK manufacturer in this league is Izhmash-Kalashnikov Concern, which is no longer imported because of the ban. Saigas and Arsenals are the best mass produced AKs and worth every penny.
Ever heard of Cugir?They make the most military AKs and AKs in general. Theyre rough but theyre tougher than anything out there...
Got a saiga and just grabbed today sam7r arsenal cuz illinois got a ban lifted for few days had to buy it asap
@@EliteManMonkey russia makes the best aks period. I have owned serbian, russian, bulgarian, hungarian and american made aks. Cugir in Romania is still just a Romanian ak. Basically low end of the European aks.
@@ericjones745 Lol justify your over priced AK's. Your Romanians will out last all of them and shoot better.
@@EliteManMonkey lmfao says ak newbie 🤡
The cool factor about the Arsenal is that they run.
i have arsenals, but its far from my fav, and not the best performing by any means, idk if reddit was around 4 years ago but by the feeling i get from ur comment im pretty sure i know where you get ur info lol
The real question is, how well can it be shot while squatting in Adidas pants?
The more vodka and gold chains you wear the better it can be shot.
Also the higher over your head its held the better it shoots... lmao
I just ordered one, thx for reminding me to get some Adidas for my go bag, I'ma look good when the time comes, dark blue with a white strip
Gotta slav it out lol
Very good, comrade
The Kalashnikov ignorance runs deep .
my 300$ ar15 runs great! although the barrel is becoming a little gold, but no stove pipes or jams at all
@Anthony Roic its a 200$ upper, it doesnt take much to melt the handguard, and the barrel is becoming a gold tint due to excessive heat.
@Anthony Roic i know hehe, im a cheapo until i get an ar15 built, that one will be roughly 2k-3k, high end and canted sights as well
Arsenal sucks!
Peter Griffin why
Jesus please stop saying "A century ak" It's a polish underfolder with a yugo pistol grip. Yes Arsenals are worth every penny.
@Jones LMAO Good stuff Century doesn't make this rifle they simply import them.
This guy said what do you get with an Arsenal?????? Well if you have to ask the question you have no business owning one.
@@st4y_mad787
Who the hell liked that bullshit you said? Currently own 2 imports and had an Npap I sold. The American made Centuries are the problem but CAI wouldn't be in business if they imported shit.
IMPORTED Century rifles are fine. Their US production, RAS47/VSKA are the ones to be careful with
Colby is 100% right. So glad someone mentioned this
If you feel the itch to do another build video Atlanticfirearms has build kits on old AKs.

Great video Sean. Colby - the 2nd Gen RAS47's are pefectly fine. I have 4,000 rounds through mine and have not had 1 single mallfunction.
@B real 2nd Gen's have serial #'s over 25,000
@B real if you haven't considered the IWI Galil ACE, it's a worthy contender. They are made in Israel, imported by IWI in Harrisburg PA, and the quality is superb. Check out the Galil ACE 7.62x39 rifle, and comes in a pistol too. They are expensive but they'll last a lifetime, and then some.
other than Arsenals, top AK's to buy would be the Veprs, Saigas, or even the Galil Ace's
Ryan Rigsby or even Polytech or MAADI AKs
Love the Russian gals
This dude doesn't even realize the cleaning rod is on the gun LOL
ARSENAL ! The best
There is an old saying about AK’s, the crappier the box, the better the gun.
Never heard that but I like it.
You won’t buy it for 12 or 13 hundred buck now! Try around 2 grand.
It depends what you're looking for. The original AKs were more like the Arsenal rifles, so us AK guys tend to hold it in high esteem as even Kalashnikov himself praised the Bulgarian rifles as some of the finest made.
If im correct his underfolder is an AKM, and the Arsenal is actually an AK lol. That's why I like Arsenals the most.
Loving the videos, hope to pick up a SAM7R soon.
Dude you don’t know what you’re talking about.the Arsenal is more of an authentic military ak than the American receiver century build...if the arsenal had wood furniture I think you would look at it differently.just because something “looks” the part doesn’t mean that it is.
Daniel W you can add any beautiful wood furniture you want. Do a google search of photos for “Arsenal Wood Furniture AK”. Get one! It’ll last forever and you can shoot a nice rifle for life!
On top of that Bulgarian service rifles actually have polymer furniture. So the wood would make it less authentic.
@Daniel W yes yes yes, a little spendy at 129 bucks but go to Atlantic firearms and look for polish milled AK furniture, holds cleaning kit, and everything. It's mill surp and it is in great shape. Also holds a cleaning rod, I got some for my arsenal Sam7r

Love my Sam7r and sam7k... Amazing weapons, has never failed in 1000s of rounds, bump fires easy, and accurate.. Reliable, powerful and fun... AK
So basically it's not an AK because it's not a worn out POS.
I've owned and fired numerous century AKs and other guns imported and/or refurbished by Century Arms.
My father was a class 3 dealer for over 20 years and we live in Boca where Century is headquartered.

Believe me the "cool factor" when you build your own AK is way way cooler than any AR. And no it's not milled I got my reciever from Nodak Spud
The best upgrades other than a good folding stock in my opinion are the gas tube rail, a good red dot sight on top of that and a forward vertical grip. You won't need anything else except good magazines
Awesome video, its good to listen to an individual that actually has knowledge on a subject. keep the videos coming I'll keep liking them!
What knowledge?
I know exactly what ya mean Sean. I have two Krebs Custom AK's, and I find myself always going back to my old beat up Norinco MAK-90. 😉
The arsenal doesn't look boring to me. It looks simply elegant and clean. Love the arsenal sam7s.
It’s basically a Bulgarian AR M1 without select fire. This is the closest you will get to a gun that is actually being fielded in hot zones around the world. The Bulgarians are selling these in the Middle East, so technically this is a weapon of war.
Love the Sam-7. This is my go to rifle.
where did u buy it?
I bought my SAM7R last year and it has become one of my favorite rifles. I highly recommend the Manticore Arms Nightbrake Compensator. Add the Annihilator optics combo from AK Operators Union and you will have an AWESOME setup. Oh, I also replaced the shitty standard grip with an Arsenal SAW grip. Much more comfortable!
About the same as you. Got one last year, soo smooth. Ive got magpul pg, midwest mount and sig romeo, alg trigger, wolff recoil spring, 74 brake, makes my ar buddies hate hard. I dont even care about my own ars anymore! Just got a sfk now here it goes..

About 9 hours of work goes into the receiver alone.
Sean I always like your reviews ... I owned Ai 10-14 years now . It’s flawless In performance , built in is izmash. Factory and it a quality ak .
Thank you to all who commented. It solidifies what I’ve been thinking this whole time. This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Do you Feel the Same way About Veprs?
Great Vid!!!!
Circle10 Bulgarian, and a Circle11 Polish apples to apples. They're both top notch AKs the Sam7 is a beast though.
I have a century arms polish tantal 74 and i fucking love it. I’ve never had any real malfunction with a few thousand rounds through it. Century products are hit or miss but worth the money.
for what its worth, ive owned a number of century aks and although they've more or less gone bang when i pulled the tigger, theyve had some major quality control issues
wasr 10/63 with canted front sight
gp1975 with canted rear sight
polish akms with canted barrel (yes, entire barrel was crooked to the receiver)
ras47 with so much mag wobble the mag would become canted enough to actually stop the bolts forward travel.
glad you have a good quality one, but id never touch a century product again
Conner I’m a little late on the reply but I’d say your main problem was buying a ras47. I wouldn’t waste my time pisssing down the barrel of one of those
Nice vid! Go review your helmet)
That rifle is the only rifle you need, but we know this isn't the last one.
Love the vids brotha! Also love the tats, keep it up
I subscribed for the FN Five Seven review, stayed for the m249 unboxing!
You should start doing shooting reviews of these weapons.
You have a great collection of guns!Do you own a benelli m4?
That's a polish underfolder. Just has a yugo pistol grip.
nope that's a Romanian. NO dimples.
Are you even watching the same video? That's a polish parts kit built by century on a nodak NDS-1. Look closer it has dimples and is not a wasr. The older century parts kit guns like the polish Pmkms polish Milled and yugo m70ab2's were actually decent guns.
Nice Video again sir...
VEPR might be a good go-between . Next in the collection?
Kind of curious what the difference in weight between the 2 are since one of them is milled and one stamped. Lemme know if you get a chance to weigh them!
Will you do an update on this after x amount of rounds?
I bought a CA WASR10 converted in 2004. Still runs and put thousands through it. It was 320 bucks.
Yeah try 850 now . No thanks
I'm getting a Sam 7 or better
Nice AK i would love to get a Arsenal. I would put a 1918 Picatinny rails on the hand guard make look like a Spetsnaz Alpha rifle. 👍
Manny Calderon indeed sounds like a project for my sam7 sf not the crappy ras47 I got I regret buying 😔
New Arsenal AK74 SLR 104FR for sale in West Ky.
You will be impressed with it at the range. I little heavier than stamped but a nice piece.
Love your channel man! Shame there is so many haters in the comments
What made you buy this over a side folder or another under folder? Just curious
The side folder has a defective safety and way too long length of pull
K B mine is fine. And I’m short as fuck and don’t mind the stock at all. Next thing you’re gonna tell me is it is to heavy
I own a Sam7 and a 107 sr. If you want an ak, they are the ones to have. They come off the same line as the 100 series made for the. Bulgarian military. They do not come any better, unless you go full custom.
I have a BNIB Cugir AK47 with all wood furniture. Never even been loaded. Very well made gun. Might sell it. Feel bad shooting it. It’s fairly old.
OMG....HES DOING IT AGAIN. BACK TO BACK
Hey do you happen to know what year the arsenal you have was produced? It looks like a newer production. Very nice rifles by the way, both of them are sweet. Dont worry, everythings gonna be ak
thanks for the info 👍🏽

My Century Romanian sar-1 was a tank. Nothing stopped that sucker from running.
So are we ever going to see you shoot these things, or will you just be teasing us with unboxing videos.
Love the blackout on your arm. Shouldn’t hide it man your tattoos look awesome.
If u run across a vepr fm47-11 😉 Russian beast battle ready , u will buy it , it's alittle heavy but I think it's original look and made in Russia gives it alot of character and way better then arsenal , don't have wood on mine yet but it will someday maybe , right now it's for comfort and home defense , buts it's on here in a qk video , love the videos 👍👍 😀
When are you getting the New GEISSELE Full Rifle? It looks cool . I would buy it if I could afford it as it being their first Full Rifle is bound to be an Investment and only go up in Value . Especially if one gets in a lower serial Number . I Know you use their triggers in most of you stuff.
If the receiver is made in the US would it still be subject to 922r?
But with the new factory fresh ak YOU get to add the cool factor of wear and tear
So does the magazine fit for both?
The SAM 7s are great! 2 MOA guns, I have three and love them.
Your Arsenal has a spring loaded firing pin as opposed to most AKM's on the market. I can appreciate battle worn, beat up rifles like a cosmoline coated SKS as well as a safe queen long term investment SAM 7R. Just like I can appreciate different styles of architecture... mid-century modern or craftsman style. Both have their good points. It's all in the eyes of the beholder.
9:33 Thank you for that.
What's with the Michael Jackson gloves?
I can't decide between a Rifle Dynamics AKM or a FALKOR DEFENSE Alpha. Im leaning towards the Alpha 308 with a thermal scope.
My Saiga 12 came with that same cleaning kit and jank bottle of oil.
The whole time Im wondering why the heck did he buy that SAM7 for . He obviously is turned off by the Rifle... btw even tho Arsenals are new production they are manufactured by a very historical former eastern commbloc manufacture . Which is cool in my book . Having a newly Manufactured factory AK made by a Military Arms manufacture is not a bad thing .
Have you ever checked out the Ak Guys Aks he's selling.there petty kool.haven't had one in my hands but looks by all means really good quality and attention to detail.just thought id throw that out to ya
I can appreciate wanting a battle worn AK because it looks cool but take from a guy that was issued a rusty, battle worn AK in Afghanistan. My first contact with that rifle I was able to get off 2rds before it failed. At that moment I would have given anything for the Arsenal. You can always give it the Khyber pass look.
Michael Call I have a really old Hungarian parts kit build that I have put through hell and it looks like total shit. Rust everywhere and the finish is totally gone basically but I've kept the inside mint. I think that's the key, you can have a "battle worn" ak that is amazing but just for the love of god keep the inside from rusting
I have a Sam sf and that was 5 years ago, and yes They are worth every penny , and now want a Sam R next
Why would u want a 7r when u already have the best Sam out the whole line of rifles? The sf is hands down the best out the whole line
Great upload.Your content is quality.Hope the channel gets the subscribers it deserves.Your approach is unique and refreshing.Looking forward to more.
I will take the chromed line cold Hammer forged Barrel made by Steyr with a milled and more accurate receiver please. That sam7 is sexy. Centry has stepped their game up for the 4 or so years though. But we all have different tastes. You like that rugged combloc style.
where did you buy this gun?
Dude I got a Galil ACE pistol w/folding brace chambered in 7.62x39 Going to be my backpack battle rifle/Truck gun on layaway currently at my local gun shop
Very cool perspective.
What's with the gloves?
I have had a Sam7uf sitting in my shopping cart on Atlantic firearms for the better part of a year now but student loans got me fucked up
@@hvkrev2 I could go buy a WASR today but iv sorta been of the buy once cry once mindset. I have also felt the same in terms of Ak aesthetics. I was gonna throw some wood furniture on mine.
I have a Century C93, other than having problems with seating mags no other problems.
I have c39 the Gen 1 my favorite Ak to shoot.
