    I printed one of these and found that my wasr, saiga, and zastava all needed assistance with fitting with shims or required trigger work, most luck I had was with ALG triggers but the guns were prone to running away due to the cam beginning to wear down and being stuck into place or had failures to feed or not getting hung up and not going into battery (especially with the zastava) all in all if you have experience under your belt its a cool little range toy but is very difficult for most people to enjoy due to the 2+ hours of troubleshooting it requires or more depending on knowledge and compatibility. You hit the nail right on the head with your video and hopefully they'll make advancements to the design in the future.

      Oh my God is that the greatest analogy. I wish I would’ve thought of that myself.
      If you want drop in for an AK, you’re gonna have to spend a lot more time on R&D. With cars, thats why brands like HKS cost a fuckin ton and you STILL may have to do some fitting.

      @@Letmechill4asec between the mag catch and the mag well there are variances. With a 762/545 rifle the worst you’ll find if it’s still usable is just a tight magwell or not enough taken off the mag catch. With a 556 gun you’re really only gonna run into compatibility issues with steel magazines. Some of them are a bit tight but as far as compatibility, there is not a ton of issues. Usually just not enough tuning with the mag well and mag catch.
      Century is notorious for not cutting their mag catches correctly and having some pretty tight wells.
      Rifles come in single stack and have to be opened up. This is not true of the pistols like an M92 or mini Beryl.

      @@Letmechill4asec Magazine fitment and function is a magazine by magazine and a rifle by rifle issue. If me and you have rifles from the same factory that are 1 serial number different then what works on my rifle may not work on yours. It’s almost as if it depends on the quantity and quality of the local booze that the builder imbibed that day. One of my rifles detests Bulgarian commercial magazines that the collective hive mind claims are the bees knees. They turned my rifle into an expensive straight pull. I have Polish magazines (Again according to the hive mind, supposedly high quality magazines) that will fit and lock into my mag well, but won’t feed. I have rifles that love Croatian, Tapco, and Promag (supposedly some of the worst, according to the hive mind). My 7.62 rifles run well the Korean KCI 20 round magazines but not the 30. For an upcoming 2gun match I am running a combination of Bosnian A.C. Unity, Zastava Polymer, Magpul, Promag. Listening to the hive mind, I’m not getting past the first stage with those magazines. What you have to do is buy one or two magazines of a particular type and test ‘em hard. If they fit and feed reliably in your rifle then buy more of that type. If not well you now have a small number of drill and dry fire magazines that you didn’t dump a lot of cash into.

I have a friend with a CMMG kit and his has been great, though I heard some folks have trouble with them. Bore Buddy is a great site. They have upgrade spring kits for the CMMG and Ciener kits. For $249 + the SS trip, it’s worth it for me to just start over. The spinal cancer left my fingertips numb, so doing intricate work isn’t worth the hassle.

      @@KalashKamaz Specifically the 7.62 krink, the trunnion lugs should be about 90 degrees. so the slope on the bolt can lock in to maintain headspace. so their bolts are to spec but their trunnions are off since the lug on the right side is backswept slight instead of being 90 degrees. In other works it only make contact with one side of the bolt instead of being contacted at a perfect 90 degree angle. The problem is it causes headspace growth, it's the same problem psa has with their front trunnions. psa tries to counter it with the tightest head space they can possibly get. but they end up having the same problem.

    That is an ol school white zombie shirt. Never seen another one. Had Rob Zombie sign mine at ozzfest in 2002 and framed it

      Because Internet. There’s nothing wrong with the damn gun at all. It’s properly built, it’s solid, it’s accurate. I’m not sure what more you want.
      It ain’t the best thing on the market or nothing but I give credit where credit is due. It’s a good AK. I said pretty explicitly this is sample size of one, but this is a damn good gun.
