AK74 problems.......

[BLK RFL DIV]

DEFINITELY not WW either.. ok, no more hints

Well now I'm really curious who this builder is.

Op buys AK from a reputable dealer, has issues then posts on a public form for help witch alarms people however refuses to name dealer for others can enjoy his pain.

Thanks !!!!

my next guess would be IO but i dunno if they sold 74s??
did you buy the rifle with all that rust/salt bath build up?

[Str8Shoot3r]

It's probably one of those Ugandan WASRs. Lol j/k

Have you tried only the one ammo?

[Mail Clerk]

Try zeroing your rifle without the brake on. I'd also try some non-steel cased ammo and see if the stuck case issue goes away.

69gr ammo can be problematic with some barrels. Try 53gr and 60gr.

What is it with AKs and canted front sight mounts? Don't they have a jig or something to insure they are vertical? I bought a Maadi AK back in the day that arrived with the FSM tipped about 20 degrees to on side. How does that happen?

Here are a few pic's of my jig... Seems pretty easy to get them lined up...But what do I know... I'm just a ametuer...

I forgot about the issues with these.

At least it's not a Century.

It is sad at the state of quality of some AK floating around. Made in USA my *****. I am pretty certain that none of the AK's made by those street gun shops in Pakistan & Afghanistan blows up. If it does happen, I bet Ahmed will get a bullet between the eye. That is quality control.

For me, I will only buy Vepr from now on.
