GUN looking to get a ak-74

http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/beta/storeproduct631.aspx

I assume this is about what I should be looking for? anyone have any other thoughts?

I may replace the folder with an actaul wood stock at some point.

and is this standard operating procedure for fueling one of these things?

and where is a good place to buy 5.45 mags? looking to get 3 or 4

thanks.

 

The Russian 5.45 is good stuff. My Tantal has been great, eats up anything I feed it. 5.45 mags are expensive now. K-Var might have some but it seems like most vendors are sold out. There's always some overpriced (my opinion) ones on the AKforum, but there aren't many other options.

 

tight.

is it quite tough to open this shit? should I consider buying two cans....

and this is corrosive right.

 

If you have a mosin spam can opener that should work as well. Otherwise, yah, get two cans, since nothing other than openers built for it are really going to get the job done easily

 

two cans it is

 

classicarms.us has tantals for $489

I don't know dick about any of this, just thought I'd share

 

I think those are USA barrel ones, worth the extra $$ for one with the original.

 

Just get two cans. It's cheap.

 

noted sir

 

Those are the keyhole specials

 

i got a polish tantal kit, NDS-2T receiver from nodak spud, and i'm sending it to a smith to be built

 

i guess ill have to go with this ass rapage

I'll have those 2 plus the 1 that comes with the rifle. I guess thats ok.

 

where you get yo 5.45 mags, son?

 

The first case I ordered through them included a can opener. But you may as well buy at least two cases. And yes it's corrosive.

 

The upper handguard on a tantal is not your standard AK furniture. You need the upper HG custom made if you want wood for it.

 

link to tantal kits?

 

Is this something Ironwood could handle?

 

They make them on custom order but they won't do a complete work on the tab portion of the upper HG. You will have to do some fine tuning when you get it.

 

i got mine from florida gun works. no clue if they still have any in stock.

check copes, i think they pop up from time to time and get bought out just as quickly

 

Just browse some AK forums and you can find a WAY better deal than that

 

This is off topic but thats the first time I've heard anything positive about them! I thought it was nothing but a scam place.

 

keesh recommended me. from what he said, sometimes they're iffy on customer service but i called them and explained that because i live in a high-cap mag ban state i wanted them to discount the price of the mag from the kit.

i didnt have any problems

 

You bought from www.gunthings.com IIRC

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have recommended you to FGW.

 

yeah, that sounds right. i think you fold me that FGW is meh.

 

ORF is always a good choice.


Except looks like obamania has crashed their site
