A lot

Ye

Yes, cost cutting measures that American companies use to produce AKs causes catastrophic issues

Mostly improper welding and heat treating causes barrels to walk out within a few 1000 or so rounds

I see

Which can lead to out of battery detonation

PSA is becoming a contender

Are they making them right though?

Unknown

Most of what I'd seen if their "AK" stuff was 9mm

Honestly guys ty for actually helping me and not belittling me

Sorry I get really sappy when I’m on adderall

@Bean Drinker Literally any American manufactured AK is trash unless is Krebs, Khyber, or Jmac. PSA is making good stuff now it seems with forged parts but it has yet to be confirmed with tests.

I see

Check out Robski's shit on Ak operator's union on youtube. He does a 5k round test on a lot of AKs and have exposed a lot of bad stuff.
He did it with PSAs first batches and they failed, insteado f trying to bully Rob, they learned and fixed it.

Hm

Good thing Romanian imports are still going

Yeah but I'd be wary. Romanians are Gypsies so they price gouge a lot.
I heard they were trying to screw over SGammo on ammunition imports a while back.

But ye, Devito. Just hit up some of us if you wanna buy something and we will give you the TLDR of the gat

Yeah the WASRs are pricy but they're at-least made properly right?

RH10s are paratrooper WASRs and are cheaper.

You can usually get WASRs pretty cheap second hand, just make sure the bore and internals aren't beat to shit.

I saw the newer polish imports too, only potential issue I'd heard about them was the cast trunion

Or if you're in Alabama near Brimingham, you can get WASRs for sub 600$ at some shops

Though I haven't seen much at all so idk

I mean hell. Try to link up with a local kommando who builds AKs and buy a parts kit.

Then you'll know you have a fucking good gun then at least.

Thats pioneer arms I think

The one I'm talking about above I mean

Yeh. I heard they had rough stuff

"Rough" ?

Rough, poorly made, shit

ah

unfortunate

So the plan is to use the DPMS as a practice rifle and get an AR-10 or FN FAL down the road once I know what the fuck I’m doing. Any suggestions on good places to shop around for an AR-10 that won’t fuckin rape my bank account but also won’t get me called poor?

most AR-10s ive seen are around 850-1000

Solid ice lower 🤔

That’s not too bad tho?

Thought $850-$1000 was normal for a gun.

Just didn’t wanna drop more than 2k on something if I can avoid it but the FN FAL is prolly gonna be more than that. It’s understandable tho it’s a good gun.

@Bean Drinker go shoot your AR a bit before deciding what’s next
