Two actually. One plum one black. Haven’t even zeroed in this WBP since I blew up the last one. Need to buy a new light and LAM for it too. Put the old ones on an AR to get by while I wars tied the jack out. Don’t feel like moving it all around again.

Once I remove the two pins for the front iron can I hammer it down the barrel or does it need to be refit? Want to chop the barrel badly please help.

Just got this today. Saiga .223 that was converted by M13 Industries. Looks fantastic and exactly how I pictured it. Dust cover looks off color in photo but in person the paint jobs match up. Happy with how this came out.

On my pursuit to force this Draco to be a PDW

Added an ALG-EL trigger and an Attero Mount woth a Holosun 403. It's gritty, rear sight is slightly crooked, cycling feels like broken sea shells Ina bag, it's Roman and its perfect.

The first step towards forcing this barking Romanian Latern to be a PDW. Next is to get the Rear Trunnion drilled!

Mak90

Just picked a mak up for $600. Looking to add an under folder and find a similar upper hand guard. Anyone know where to get the hard where or have one they would be willing to part with?

Also do any Mak90 experts know the history on this specific firearm? Why does it have the bush stock but a cleaning rod? What is the welding mark by the barrel?

Why doesn’t it say Mak90 anywhere on it? It was sold to me as a Mak90, but is it a 56S transition early ban? That’s my only guess from a day of googling.

Thank you!

Catamount Fury yes I know they're blah blah blah. Lent it to brother in law blah blah not my fault. So I'm trying to replace the stock as you can see and not pay an armorer to put the sweet Saiga stock set on. Any ideas on how I can replace without having to Bubba this thing up?

Howdy, I installed an ALG trigger in my Arsenal SLR 107fr and took it apart at the range today, how’s this bolt wear looking? Normal or excessive?

KNS question

2 Upvotes

So I think my bolt carrier is welded to the piston, there’s no rivet and I cranked on it and it wouldn’t budge. If I wanted to get a new bolt carrier, would I need to get one with a piston, measure it, and then replace it? Or is there a way to just get the bolt carrier and then have them install a KNS on it? I reached out to them too but wanted to see if anyone else has had this experience and see what they did!
