Went out to the range today, about -20. She ran reliably, ejection seemed a bit inconsistent so I'll keep an eye on it. Ran some Russian copperwashed and some Czech borrowed from a friend - Russian was about 4-5in at 100; Czech surprised me at about 2in at 100 - probably a one off but I was sure happy to see that.
Clean... then reoil or grease

Are they any different from what is in mags already or just the same replacement part? Are they breaking or something?

The wheel that's in there now its a flat plate of steel with 2 rectangles cut into it for it to fit the 5 rounds required by law. If you've ever seen inside of an AK47 drum mag before it has whats called a tree plate inside. Its the true internal mechanism for this drum whereas the one that comes with it is 75% true ( only the top portion of the wheel has been replaced with the flat plate ) the replacement will allow people to have a fully authentic 75 round drum. Before removing the original internals that are set to 5 rounds you must first drill and install a pop rivet into the wall of the magazine so once you do replace the internals with originals you have not broken any laws. If you were to replace the internals then rivet it after technically you'd be temporarily in possession of a prohibited device and nobody wants to lose their guns and go to prison for 10 years so avoiding that is ideal. In the end nothing is broken but a bunch of us like the way the original internals look so we are opting to get them.
Got mine yesterday. Phosphate looks great. Only issue with mine is the carry handle screw was stripped so I just replaced it with a rivet. Bad design to use one rivet and one screw. Thanks TI for bringing these in and hopefully we can get some side folding stock versions.
Any news on these optic mounting brackets ?
Hi guys, recently got my phosphate one.What can I say? As a guy who got a chanse to handle russian AK 47 in school in 80s and akm too later, the overall quality is briefly ok. It is not comparable to real AK even close. Hope the range test will be better...
there is nothing better than a communist comparing communist made in another countries lol ...

Lmfao who ever said it was anything like an AK.. its a sks that has a dust cover lol
So many things can be said about this comment lol!
I have never seen a gun so polarizing on this community. So I just got mine and in all honestly its awesome, it looks and feels like an RPK, I keep reading how its not as nice as a real AK or its just an SKS with bubba furniture, well okay go and get a Bulgarian AKM....you can't. Or go get a Valmet with the carry handle....got 8 grand to blow? I love it, I think its awesome and tell anyone who can get one to get one, its a really cool rifle to take to the range and show off. Thanks TI for bringing them in and please keep up the good work and bring in more cool rifles that we can show off! Rant over.
