I picked up an H&K P8 A1. It's basically a special version of the USP9 that was adopted by the German military. It's not an official H&K-USA import, but was instead imported by a company in North Dakota. The most notable thing that makes it different than a USP9 is that the safety rotates in...

I ordered a vz.61 parts kit from Arms of America. I don't know why as I already have a factory built one and another kit with receiver that I haven't even put together. Nevertheless, it arrived today. It looks like it was near new before they cut it up. The interesting thing is that it has a...

I picked up a 7.62x39 chambered Colt AR15 today. I like 7.62x39 and 5.56x45 AK's, so I figured that a 7.62x39 Colt AR15 would be good too.

I was looking through my parts stash and found an unused KNS adjustable gas piston. I do not remember anything about it. I did an internet search on the APS-S-108V part number, but came up with absolutely nothing. I'm thinking that perhaps it's an older model. I can tell that it's for...

I have a couple of original barrel Romanian AIMS-74 kits from years ago with 74ULLC receivers that I'd like to have built. I was looking through them today and found that for some reason the hammer spring and disconnector springs are missing. Actually, the fire control groups are missing...

I have a like new AMD-65 that I purchased almost 20 years ago. The is obviously from a rifle that was new when it was demilled. It has the original barrel and the paint is perfect. Back in the day I bought an NDS-65 receiver for it. It is their EZ version and was before NoDak Spud made the...

After literally years of asking questions on this forum and gathering parts, I was finally able to get everything that I needed for my dream 5.56x45 milled receiver SBR AK build. I sent the parts off to Two Rivers Arms and this is what I got back today. To say that it's incredible would be an...

I bought this 223Rem/5.56x45 Promag, but can't figure out what AK it's supposed to be for. I have a good variety of 5.56x45 AK's, but it doesn't fit in any. Promag's website doesn't specify. Does anyone know which gun it's for? It looks like a decent magazine. AK-223 5.56mm (30) Rd - Steel...

The U.S. Navy just seized over 2,000 AK's that were being smuggled from Iran to Yemen. We're not talking ragged out worn out junk. These appear to be brand new production! Since it was our Navy and we pay the taxes that fund those doing this work, do y'all think Biden would be ok with them...

I'm looking for some help with 922(r) compliance. Are there any US made Galil magazines? If not, are there any that can be converted to work?

FYI for those who are Galil Ace whores like me. IWI has released a limited edition of 500 13" Gen 1 5.56x45 Galil Aces that take the Galil rock-n-lock magazines. They previously released a limited edition of 500 with 8" barrels. I think this is pretty much the ideal cartridge and barrel...

I purchased a Draco 9S. It's a 9mm Romanian AK that takes CZ Scorpion magazines. The similar Romanian RAK (rifle) and NAK (pistol) 9mm AK's take either Glock or Beretta 92 magazines. A nice thing about the Draco 9S is that the Scorpion magazines lock the bolt back when they're empty. Unlike...

I think that I have all of the parts together for my milled 5.56x45 side folder build. My idea in putting this kit together is that I want a milled AK in 5.56x45 that has a 12.5" barrel, a left side folding stock and a hinged top cover. I think this configuration will work, but I'm not 100%...

I finally have my 7.62x51 Galil Ace factory SBR out of jail. As far as feel goes, it feels pretty much the same as my other Galil Ace SBR's except that it's a little heavier and the barrel is longer. I put 60rds through it yesterday starting with 20rds of of surplus '85 Radway Green...

I bought one of the 5.56x45 Galil Ace gen 1 pistols that takes rock-n-lock magazines. It test fire good, so I efiled a Form 1. Here it is as it should be.
