DAMN....that barrel lived a damn hard life
Bro who the hell other than the Russians shoot out a CHF/CL Izzy barrel? Insane. Had to have taken 100,000 round at least to fry it to the point of keyholing at 15-25. I’m actually really impressed I’ve never seen such


thank GOD I’m working again, because ima need a Childers receiver, a new trunnion, and a New barrel and a build.

trunnion - 90.00
Barrel - 130
Receiver - 130
DeMil & Build 650.00

Gonna be the most expensive WASR you’ve ever seen lol. At least she’ll have real dimples this time

What online sources do you guys get your AK parts from? Looking for a wooden handguard set and not really having any luck with anything that’s not fancy as hell

Usually @jimipanic has sets of nice AK wood that he has refinished and looks very nice.

Save that barrel and mount it on a plaque, it deserves it.

Not long ago AKM wood was plentiful and cheap...those days are gone. I got my last set from @jimipanic
You would probably find a set on the AKfiles or arfcom faster than finding one at a parts retailer.

Some good news
Great news
And bad news lol

good news, the Pinhole in the triangle folder is getting Tig welded on Friday by my buddy who is a body shop guy with 35 years Tig welding. Showed him everything and he feels super confident it’s not an issue and he’ll have me fixed up quicker than it takes to get the machine going. The finish will be distorted but I might BFPU my triangle and say fuck it. If I ever want a pretty finish I’ll send to @FatAlbert and have him refinish way down the road. So triangle folder pin hole handled for free. YAY

Great news - I got the PK-A red dot today!!! I’m so stoked. Gonna play with it on the triangle folder after dinner here in a bit. Might need a @Jeddak translation or two it’s dirty sick nasty awesome

And the bad news. The 1965 matching WASR 10/63 I picked up yesterday failed the bullet test miserably. Like swallowed a whole AK round up to the casing neck and was still a bit loose. Figured maybe I was just a bad crown job or wouldn’t effect shooting in real life, but had never seen that before. Barrel wasn’t looking great, even being a CHF/CL circle Y barrel.
Go to range today to prove myself wrong. Shoot at 25y only about 8” groups with every couple of rounds keyholing in sideways.
took it to a buddies house afterwards who had tools and stuff I needed to get from
Him anyways and we took a pulled AK round and dropped it down the muzzle end just to see how bad that bore was. Bullet fell freely 10” into the barrel before it gently stopped. Probably could have used a rod and pushed it all the way through. Tried several pulled bullets
This barrel is TOAST.

So now I’ve got to either buy a new barrel and ship to two rivers to have them rebarrel the rifle, it’s already sporting an oversized barrel
Pin so not sure what they’ll say about that potential, or demil it, buy new front trunnion , sell as parts kit or use as parts kit, but damn just damn. I’ve never seen a barrel THAT shot out on an AK ever

with wiggle room

Where did you get the WASR? Can you take it back?
