So i got an AK WASR 10. 101 questions.

[SLTW]

Found a good deal, just trying to decide on color.

Opinions are like assholes…so don’t listen to me.

My opinion is that the plum Magpul furniture looks really cool. I know it’s not Bakelite but it gives me a Bakelite vibe. I don’t know why. I just think Soviet for some reason when I see that color or anything reddish on an AK.

Actually was looking at the plum.

Got my MI 30mm mount in the mail. Very nice. Big thanks to @Little Jack . Post on it later. Locks on perfectly and is centered over bore.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Got the Strikefire 2 mounted. Mount is lightweight and also has a locking qd flip. Very nice. Always don't trust the qd mounts. Figure I'm gonna snag it in clothing and drop the optic, not an issue with this one. 1/3 Co witness on the irons which makes up for my paranoia for the battery powered optic.
Optic sits very low and centered on the rear cover. I like it!!
Next up, stock, handguard and grip.

Decisions, decisions. Plum or fde or odg. Crap. I have a sea of black guns want a different color.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Ordered the plum moekov set and cheek riser. .50 riser( guessed).

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Just foe fun ordered a mag to try.

(2) books that every AK owner should own is Gun Digest Shooters Guide To AK's (written by Marco Vorobiev former Russian SpetsNatz soldier). Guns & Ammo AK-47 (book not magazine) Both are also available on Amazon Kindle.

I still refer to them frequently! Marco has some good info on "setting up" your personal AK!

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Stock set should be here Monday! Forgot to order fh, brake. Need to get it setup for deer hunting! Looking for a 5rd hunting mag.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Is it Monday yet? Lol. Got deer to shoot!!

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Got a 10 rd magpul mag. Have to do for now.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Woo hooo! I really dig this plum glad I got it. Was worried I was going to end up with a Mardi Gras. Joker rifle.
No damm instructions though! Had to fiddle with the gas tube a bit. Wiggled around till it went in. No hammer required.
Mag and cheek riser coming later this week. Don't think I'm gonna need the riser. Grip has a storage for an extra battery.( great) LOP is adjustable and it folds too. Stock is rock solid. Another impressive magpul product. Need a short vfg but they don't sell a plum one. :-(.wth. so i guess black is in order.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Only has 2 slots for a vfg and one looks too close for mag changes. That narrows it down, lol. Also no heat shield on the gas tube cover, but it does have one on the bottom.
** The stock has 3 connection points, the two screws on the rear like a regular stock and a wedge device that goes inside the rear of the reciever that is offset and pinches as you tighten. Rock solid and no hammering or dremel work required. Nice. Pretty sharp design.

Finely shot today. Very nice. Used us palm mag, no issues. Rough 0 with strike fire 2. Can nail 8 inch steel target easy from 60 yards. Playing with a box @25 had rounds 1/2 off of touching. Some flyers or me.
Added vfg. Like it. Stock ripped out some wiskers at the extension, lol. Need to shave.
Trigger is VERY good. Think it's an ALG but not 100% no stacking or rough patch just slide and boom. Way better than any other ak, gi ar or sks I've had.
0 issues just, boom, boom,boom.
** ups just dropped off my plum mag and cheek riser.
I think I'm really gonna enjoy this rifle. Now, Deer blasting time!! (Sp bullet)

Wow. What a difference. That magpul stuff looks like it blends in with the dead grass so well..

[Rebel_Rider1969]

I have the standard MOE furniture on my AK and I don't get any cheek slap problems. (I did with the original wood furniture.)
