General Opinions of Romanian AK47

[Daniel_187]

I got one a long while ago and its Sloppy but I like it, always goes bang really opens up when hot and at a longer distance, trigger is kinda shitty but I think it can be replaced with a Tapco trigger(got one on the Polish AK and its Sweet)

I have one with the canted barrel, the sight is adjusted as far as it will go and it is still 6 inches off at 100 yards. What is the fix?

If the front sight is canted that much, you can find a smith to press it off, align it properly, and re-fit it. I believe that Robert of BP Tactical works on AKs.

Also for fixing the canted front sight you could come by a build party next time there's one going on and bribe with food or something the guys there to give you a hand fixing it, they're really easy to straighten. Either press off and back on correctly or might be able to clamp the barrel in a vice (with blocks of course) and tap the sight straight with a brass hammer. Then you need to redrill the retaining pin holes for the sight, use a cheapo harbor freight hss bit as it won't eat into the sight block much so the sight block's pin hole will guide the bit.

If you're not sure about doing it yourself then I doubt it would be that expensive to have an ak-smith (like mentioned earlier) do it for you.

Remove the pins and clamp the barrel in a barrel vise or clamp the rear sight block in a vise and whack it into submission. Once it has been centered you can redrill the holes or if its not to far off just punch the pins back in.


They can be a bitch to move sometimes. If you feel like making a trip to windsor we can give it a try.

Thanks for the input, I am not going to be home until November so I have plenty of time to think about it.
