    Quick Review: Zastava M77 "Battleworn"

    I recently got one of the newly imported Zastava M77 PAP in .308. I believe this is their new "Battleworn" model. There isn't much info out there on these yet. It came equipped with a slant-brake and a set of nice beech furniture modeled after the famous M76 furniture. The slant brake was...

    Primers for loading 7.62x39 to prevent slamfires?

    So, for reloading the 7.62x39, what primers do you suggest to decrease risk of slamfire in an AKM? CCI #34 military? Any Magnum large rifle primer? Current concern is an IO Inc AKM rifle with a floating firing pin.

    Rear sights on eastern bloc rifles

    What to buy? AKM or SKS?

    some of you may have read some of my recent posts (new member, hi guys!). I have narrowed down what I'd like for my first semi auto rifle to two. I am looking at either a chinese type 56 SKS from classicarms or AIM surplus for around $320. Cosmetically they're crap but mechanically quite good...

    What really is the effective range of an AK 47/AKM?

    Now I know this topic has been beat to death but I'd like to hear some fresh opinions as well as input mine since I'm new here. I've heard many say that effective range of the AK is only 200m or so. I find this to be very low. The Russian Army placed Ak effective range to be 400m in semi auto...
