    $350? What was the price breakdown? The 3 kits I bought were $300 alone without barrels or receivers at the beginning of the year.

    Anyone have recommendations on how to clean rust off a WASR? I must have put mine away dirty because it has some chunky rust growing on it. Im debating if I should finally spray can it and call it a day.

    350 back in 2017, came with no lower receiver. receivers were 20 dollars + shipping. Barrel was already installed in trunnion

    surface rust for me is XXXX steel wool and spray down with wd40 and rub the rust off.

    Good point. This is why I can’t take OPERATORS seriously, regardless of the platform. Like, “congrats. You can point and click.”

    Nice! I’d like to take a stab and staining my furniture. It currently resembles a school desktop.

    Received one of these in the office. Installed in a WASR. I Will test soon. Dropping in an ALG trigger kit, too. Wondering what is a good optic to pair. I have a Holosun 510c that lives on an AR.

    I’ve got a Romeo5 and a ALG in my shorty AK and I love it. The trigger especially makes it a blast to shoot.

    Are those hex head screws or rivets?

    Question: Swapping out the pistol grip on my WASR10. Ordered a Romanian surplus bakelite grip. Went to swap out with current grip but I can't use the existing screw as it needs a recessed area for the screw head. The Bakelite grip simply has a hole. Where can I source the appropriate grip screw?

    I have 3 FM Veprs, x39, x54R, and 5.45. Lightly modded all of them, but I would like to get the KNS adjustable pistons put on all of them so I can suppress them without a faceful of gas and less wear/tear. I also have a Bulgy kit gun that I bought on Texas Gun Trader, but the freakin barrel pin fell out after I got it home and my brother and I were cleaning/going over it. Need to get it to an AK smith to have a larger barrel pin pressed in.

    Went to the local indoor range over the weekend. Put 40 into the paper at 25 yards. My eyes were not very pleased with the iron sights. Tried out the stock trigger and I'm glad I have this new ALG trigger waiting to go in. I'm 6'1" with long swimming pool noodle arms and wrapping around the gun is kind of like squeezing into a Miata. I want to keep this rifle stock-looking but might have to compromise with an adjustable stock. I think I have one in my parts bin along with a matching handguard that would allow me to put an optic out front.
