My first AK.
The stock locks up tight. There is a good bit of mag wobble. The dust cover is tight and rattle free. The bolt moves well and there's no resistance when returning to battery. It has a Sight Mark Reflex sight and SureFire light. What do you guys think about her?
Updated Photo: I took off the plastic guards and the Surefire Light. The weight difference is considerable. I have since taken the AFG off and put the VFG back on. It seems to be a bit more controlable. I've also added a Houge Grip. |
WASR 10/63 underfolder?
Don't see the underfolder WASRs around much anymore. As long as the FSB and GB are reasonably straight then she'll serve you well. What handguard is on it? |

Front sight block and gas block.
WASRs are known to occasionally have canted front sight blocks and/or gas blacks. A canted FSB will effect your ability to zero the irons if it is bad enough. A canted GB can cause cycling issues if your gas piston can't seat properly, but it sounds like your cycles fine. Not all have these issues, just something to be aware of. |

If the gas block was canted enough to impede operation then it would leave evidence in the gas tube and/or gas block of the gas piston hitting it. If the action cycles smoothly and you don't see any abnormal wear in gas block then you should be good to go.

IMO the best 2 budget optics are the Bushnell TRS-25 and the Primary Arms Micro Dot.
I have no personal experience with the PA red dot, I am just going off the large amount of positive feedback I have seen with zero negative feedback. The Bushnell TRS-25 I do have first hand experience with because I have one on my SGL21. For $80 I think you would be extremely hard pressed to find a more durable red dot, they also have good clear glass, and the red dot is pretty crisp. I think you will find these 2 red dots to be the most recommended budget optics. If you have the cash to blow then I would recommend an Aimpoint Micro, a product as equally durable as the Kalashnikov. |

I have no knowledge of the SightMark Reflex.
I think if you already have one and you find it to work well then just stick with it. No point in spending money if you don't need to, would be better to spend it on ammo imo. |

Congrats on the new ak, but......
http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q37/Merlin-X/AK.jpg Keep the sight, and the flashlight close by but loose everything else... |

That's just me. Keep it how ever you want. No need for the VFG, the light or all those silly rail covers IMO. Not sure if its a quick mount for the flashlight but no need to keep it on all the time. Again IMO.

Thanks! Also remember to each their own. Suggestions are all we have to offer. And let us know how it works out after your first range trip.

As far as weight savings go, I agree with cutting weight on the front of the rifle. It does make the rifle easier to handle.
I learned this through experimenting with different set ups, various handguards, vfg, AFG, etc. I eventually ended up with an Ultimak gas tube with a micro red dot on it and a K-Var lower handguard on both my AKs and this is what I plan to stay with for the foreseeable future. I find it to be ergonomically comfortable, light weight, and heat resistant. Basically, it's a high speed low drag set up to help combat my low speed and high drag. lol Everyone is different, so YMMV. |
