ACCURIZING THE AK

[1biggun]

he had a patented version that didnt recopercate. aparently he hasent made it avaliable.

here is another interesting set up that has a bolt hold and LH charge.

claims a side mount scope can be used some how?

one of my main gripes about a AK is the inabilty to load and unload with out the safety on. I have a few builds with very light worked triggers and I get a little nervious slamming home a round when reloading with the safety off. Im considering a positive stop set up on the hammer or the trigger for my varmit set up. a push buttion set up built into the trigger guard would be pretty easy to block the trigger. maybe Ill do a whole trigger guard in bullet with a push button safety. i wish I could get my hands on a super Veper set up.

Remember that with the safety on the sear will block the rearward movement of the trigger. This'll keep the hammer from cocking.

Charge a rifle with the hammer down and the safety on [and no mag in it, of course], the hammer just stops on the sear surfaces on the trigger. You could probably get around it, but the only way I figure would be to make the main sear "arms" hinged like the disconnector, but spring loaded in the other direction.

They'd pop over the hammer's sear surface, and when the travel stop [the triangle part, like the one on the non-hooked side of the disconnector] comes into contact with the trigger it should be plenty solid to provide a good trigger pull.

This is a great thread, I'm tempted to start doing some of these tricks on my already accurate amd 63. All I've done so far is trigg. mod (two stage),.064 rec. built w/ min. clearances,tight headspace. I want to free float bbl. and try some handloads. As 1biggun has shown it can be done. I really want to see what can be done w/ factory bbl.

I think focusing on the ammo is best course of action with a factory chamber.
seating the bullets out as far as the mag allows. if only there was a brass source with a thicker neck. there is so much slop in a factroy chamber. one could try only partaly resizing the brass and then doing the necks, reliablilty would likely becoma factor in a dirty weapon however. IMOO ammo is the biggest thing once the trigger is good and the sights /optics are improved.

I had some coming but it got back ordered and I havent heard any thing. money is tight so right now I havent been doing much shooting. I was also wanting to try some 220 russian brass blown out. that would have the small flash hole that the benchrest crowd claim improves burn consistancy.

90 cents or more a case for a gun that didn't cost $300 to build is a little pricy but It would be nice to try, and of course it gets reloaded.

I think any thing under a 1" group out of a stock 16" loose chamber is damm good.


Im working on a deal for a new .308 kreiger barrel blank that is damaged on one end that is a 1-14 twist. Im thinking a rifle with a 14" barrel with a permminatly installed extention/ Boss type set up with a 23mm no taper profile might be very accurate. there would be litteraly no barrel flex. If I get it Im going to get a very tight reamer recut from one of my standard ones or possably build it in 30 BR. Ill loose some velocity with the short barrel but it shoud still shoot good. I was considering putting it on a rewelded Yugo reciver.

Im liking the hell outa this thread , thanks for the link from the Grendel forum Biggun.

Im waiting on a Lilja med weight barrel for my milled receiver Norinco Hunter. She'll be a 6.5 Grendel when we're through with her.

I intend to bore the trunnion oversize, and thread it square to the receiver itself. I'll clean up the bolt / lugs and square the face .

I'll build a billet ,adjustable gas block and shorten/float the tube .I think I'll go with either a Jard or Red Star trigger pack .

Im going to mill a mount hanging from the bottom of the receiver to mount a wide floated and vented fore end and an adjustable butt stock (both from wood.....I like wood)

Im going to bolt a solid pic rail from the rear trunnion to the front .
