It's supposed to be a hollow pin. You're good.

I am seeing people selling NIB ARs at pre panic prices locally on Armslist. I agree things are starting to calm.

Ohhh, that makes a lot more sense. Why not go for a bull barrel and mount that in the trunnion. Then you could fabricate a two piece gas block that would bolt on like an some ARs have, mill down the end for your sight and then widen the handguard channel on some RPK handguards.

Wait, are you trying to use an AR barrel on an AK? If you are going to the trouble to recontour an AR barrel, why not just buy a barrel blank and and work with that?

Yey!!!!! If only I were 21...

Another vote for restored Saiga rifle. You have 4 calibers to choose from, and the seemingly infinite variety of surplus and new manufactured parts give you the ability to make the rifle what ever you like. It's a Russian made receiver, barrel, sights, and gas block (after conversion) and the...

For me it would be a tie between my Saiga restoration AK-47 and my Czech vz. 24. I love my AK because of all the work I've put in it, the historicalness, and the engineering. At the same time, I love my vz. 24 because of it's beauty, the nostalgia, and it is very well made. Here are some pics...

I use stripper clips to load mags for my AKs. I have two types of clips: cheap ones from China that I bought off eBay a couple years back that don't feed well and one has bent. Then there are the surplus clips you get when you buy cans of Yugoslavian ammo. Those are nice. If you can find some...

Welcome to the family mate! I love mine. (Izhmash, 1943 here)

That seems kinda overpriced anyway. Nice job catching it in time. :D

Not to be mean or ruin your excitement, but why? I'm fine with people buying them, but I don't see a reason for me to shell out the cash. Maybe I could use some convincing. :D

I'm not going to lie, I've never cleaned mine....

Another vote for the 10/22. If I could only have one of my rifles, it would be the one I would have. I've never had a problem with it, and it shoots straight.

Why not wrap some vinyl tape around the area, and then put on the leather?
