All that dose is hold the spring assembly together when you pull it from the rifle.
My Romanian psl has two tubes inside of each other with a spring on the out side.

FYI you are going to need the FFL you send it to pin and weld the muzzle brake before turning it over to you.

 

[HootyHoo2012]

yes i am aware of this, Thanks for the info tho! would you recomend one gun or the other or is it a win win either way i go?

My Arsenal Sam7r has been awesome and you can get them locally (Pullman arms had them last time I was there). Similar money. All new production parts. Very accurate.

how much heavier is the milled reciever than the stamp'd ones..

Decently heavy, I don't have a # but probably <1lb difference . It's probably the same weight as my bull barrel AR. It points well though and shoulders quickly. I second the SAM7R; it's a phenomenal AK.

you cant go wrong with the vepr I have read nothing but great reviews. was thinking about a vepr chambered in 7.62x54r actually . I couldn't comment on the weight comparison though

I just got myself a Mak 90

7.62 x 39 AKMs can be had wholesale in the third world for under $100 USD or thereabouts. there are millions of them sitting in warehouses in Yemen, Ukraine, and a whole bunch of other places. They are indeed more expensive in the US commercial market because the importable supply is being artificially constrained by a myriad of stupid laws and BATFE rulings that have the net result of dramatically slowing the importation of these kinds of guns.

If parts kits are hard to come by in the US, and if their prices are going up, AK prices will follow- because every single AKM that is in the united states uses a multitude of combloc manufactured parts.

The further we get away from the glory days of AKM manufacturing from fear of the West under conscript labor, the more expensive these rifles will become. We're already seeing the fall of the Izhevsk plant due to free market incompatibility. If the Russians, Romanians, and Serbs stop making AKM parts, prices will only rise.

for the price of wasr you can get an arsenal for a little more money. They are awesome AKs

 

[rocket500]

[American 1]

[inerlogic]

Any thing can be built in mass . You just need to figure out what part options you have . Besides ak/ar style pistols.
