Who here owns an AK??

[Guest Stonewall]

Well, as a newbie here, I keep running across the "Who owns an AR" thread, but haven't found one for the other side yet!

(Maybe I just haven't found it yet?)

So, who here owns / shoots / likes / builds the AK clones? Wonderful rifles .....................

[Guest 1817ak47]

shoots them just purchased a 2nd one in a couple of months, so the other will be up for sale very soon. mak-90 good shooting guns but the trigger is a little painful, they say a tapco trigger kit will solve this, I will research that soon though

[mousegunner]

The original MAK-90 trigger is considered to be one of the better AK triggers.

[Guest 1817ak47]

the above stated is true, it is a smooth trigger compared to what most rifle I have fired. I "might" try a tapco kit, gonna reasearch what others have experienced with them first

[Warbird]

AK, Mak90, NMH91. Yeah they are fun to shoot. And fairly inexpensive. I wish I had as much 223 or 556 as I do 7.62x39 ammo.

[CrazyRay]

I have an AK74 kit w/ a Nodak receiver I still need to get off my butt and assemble... does that count?

[Auburn]

I have two Romy WASR-10's, and two converted Russian Saigas (x39 & 223). All affordable to buy and reliable to shoot. I'm thinking seriously about picking up a 5.45 Saiga next.

Don't you mean, "^^^^^very nice looking ak up there comrade"?

We got a converted Saiga. Very nice quality IMO.

[Guest Ae-35]

My cheapa$$ Romy, but she'll shoot!!

[Superman]

I converted a .223 Saiga, but sold it last year. Thinking of getting another and convert it. But I will have to make do with this for now

WASR.....(non-canted version )................................nuff said.

It shoots like most of'em do....bought it off a member here. I've been sooooo lazy on pics of stuff here latley.....I'll get on on here in a day or so. Looking to buy another AK in a week or so. I missed mousgunners MAK he just had for sale....that thing was purdy.

[Guest Stonewall]

Knew there had to be some AK guys out there!

[seez52]

"an AK" sounds mighty singular to me. How about 2 or 3 or maybe 5. There's always room for one more.

Saigas, MAKs, Romys(my builds), Yugos. Daewoo - that's 1/2 AK.

1/3 AK, 1/3 FN, 1/3 AR! Nice guns!

I personally I think AK's are the best "assault rifle" clone going! I've tried 4 AR's and just couldn't get into them like I wanted. I've had 3 Saiga x39's and a Saiga 12 all converted. My first one was a full on AK-103 clone done by Red Jacket. The last two i did my self. The Saiga 12 I converted then sold to a shady car dealer in Knoxville who took it over the top! Just brought home my fourth Wednesday and it will begin its transformation shortly. This one I'll keep!

Here's my first before I got rid of the Tapco Galil HG.

Here's the second one I did.

the last one I did

and some cool AK pics.

[sigmtnman]

First things first... State or ole miss? 2 wasrs, saiga 223, saiga 308, saiga 12.

[rentalguy1]

I've got a WASR10. I play both sides of the AK/AR field...

[Jonsaiga]

I'm an AK lover but then again I love most guns(including ARs). First one was a Mak-90. Since then I have owned 2 more MAK-90s, 2 NHM91s, a MAADI, 3 WASR-10s, and now the only one I currently own is a 16" barreled SAIGA I converted to be 922® compliant. All of them hame have been 7.62x39 but laterly I have really been wanting one chambered for 5.45x39.

[Guest TwoLaneBlackTop]

I have a few, actually I have 6. Also I have a PSL and Galil but those don't exactly count.

Romanian SAR-1 (Muzzle was threaded and has better laminated furniture)

Romanian SAR-1 (Now has a folding stock and threaded muzzle, basically made into a AIMS side folder look-alike)

Bulgarian SLR-101S (milled receiver gun, now has the correct bayonet lug equipped front sight base and accessory lugged gas block and threaded muzzle)

Polish AKMS-47 (1982 all matching under-folder kit built by Overland industries, this is honestly my best built AK. I used a Nodak receiver with correct Polish markings and ordered it back when customer requested serial numbers were available, I requested the same number as on the trunnion)

Bulgarian AK-74 semi clone (From TGI, it's their base truck gun model, I added an original Bulgarian made optics rail already, planning to refinish the furniture soon. My only 5.45x39 AK. I have a Russian Kobra red dot for it as well)

Romanian AES-10B (RPK clone, removed the carry handle, took off the tack welded muzzle nut, got the correct RPK bi-pod, and refinished the furniture. Have a Russian made 1PN34 night vision scope for it just because it was an interesting piece of history.)

Norinco MAK-91 National Match here...still new in the box since I bought it in 1994....

[Guest REDDOG79]

I have 2 nothing fancy just a Norinco MAK-90 that I need to whittle on to make more comfortable and a Saiga (still stock) that I really need to make over
