Agree. I will buy a couple, once PSA irons out the kincks, and keep my sanctioned/no longer made models in the safe.

It appears to be able to handle the used as a tool attitude I carry. I’ll watch it and like u said let PSA work out the little stuff and maybe it gets below $800

I think I've got a half gallon or so of parkerizing solution in the garage. And a half gallon of what is supposed to be legit machine gun oil. Does the military have something that's called by that name? It's supposedly that stuff but I haven't opened it yet bc I don't need that much lube at one time lol

We used CLP in the Corps.

I would love to find one of the Donkey Dick cleaning brushes we used in the Corps but I am NOT about to Google "Marine Corps Donkey Dick"

My brother runs an extra power in his Draco. Are shorter barrels harder on the recoil spring? I haven't shot any of my AKs enough to have to worry with the recoil spring so I have no valuable input. I would think that cycling issues would be the first sign of a worn out spring?
I had Draco for a short time.
If someone else wants to chime in, go ahead.
Shorter barreled AKs have a larger gas port, IIRC, since gas dwell time is shorter. That's why Soviet AK74US has a gas booster. I can see where a stronger spring would help with recoil and general control, especially if he does not have a brace.

The strong spring can help as can a buffer. I know for a fact the mini and micro both come with recoil buffers but don’t think the standard length Draco does?

Up until a few years ago CLP has been the standard lube for everything from pistols to cannons since about 1985. Then DSL came alone

Prior to 1985 was before my time, so maybe "machine gun oil" was once a thing.....but that half gallon might be regular old CLP. If it's marked MIL-L-63460 it's CLP.
