Tips for First Time AK47 Buyers

There have been more guns produced among the AK47 for sale than any other modern small arms in the world. It has been estimated to account for one out of every five guns worldwide. The enduring AK has earned the reputation of extreme reliable weapon under the worst of conditions. If you are shopping for your first AK-47, the following information can assist you.

Receivers

There are two types of receivers available for the AK47 for sale: milled and stamped. A milled AK receiver is going to cost more than a stamped model with the stamped model being one of the most affordable rifles available and is just as serviceable as the milled version. The main difference you will note is that the milled version provides a smoother action.

Milled

A milled receiver begins with a solid block of steel and is machined repeatedly through various stages until the finished monobloc receiver is complete. The milled receiver receives extensive and precise machining, and it is this extensive millwork that makes a milled AK-47 for sale cost more than a stamped.

Stamped

Stamped receivers begin with a flat sheet of steel and are then formed by the process of precision bending until the receiver is complete. The final components are added, spot welding is provided, and the heavy rivets are inserted that are the hallmark of the stamped AK47 receiver.

Wood or Synthetic Furniture

The buttstock, pistol grip, and hand guards of the AK-47 for sale are available in wood or synthetic. You also have the option of exchanging wood furniture for synthetic for different uses. Folding stocks are also available in the form of under folds, right side folds, and left side folds. You can also have an AR style collapsible buttstock. Check with your state to ensure your preferred selection is legal before you buy.

AK-47 Accessories

If you plan to use a scope, select a model with a scope mount. If you are not familiar with the mounting of a scope, elect to either buy a model of the AK-47 for sale that includes a scope or have a gunsmith to install one for you. The accessories available for the AK-47 for sale continues to grow. Just keep in mind the added weight of accessories. You may elect to order a lighter weight model to assist you in reducing the weight of the accessories you plan to add.

Calibers

Many people associate the AK47 with a 7.62 x 39. The AK is actually available in several calibers. Those firing the less costly ammo are the 7.62 × 39 or 5.45 × 39. If you want a long range AK select the .308 Win or the 7.62 × 54. If you already have an AR-15 in 5.56 mm, selecting an AK-47 for sale in 5.56 can provide the convenience of using the same ammo.

GrabAGun’s AK47 For Sale

The AK47 for sale is one of the most produced modern small arms, estimated to account for one out of every five firearms in the world. The AK47 has justifiably earned a reputation for being an extremely reliable weapon under any possible conditions. For those of you selecting your first AK-47 for sale, this guide will assist you in making an informed decision.

The AK-47 Receiver

AK rifles are available in two major receiver groups: milled and stamped. This is where you must decide if you want to go high or low dollar. Just about any milled AK-47 is going to cost more than a stamped model.

A milled receiver begins with a solid block of quality steel and is put through over 100 machining stages until there is a finished monobloc receiver. This intensive mill work is the primary reason a milled receiver on the AK-47 for sale cost more than a stamped. The action is smoother on milled guns, but you can let your budget be the deciding factor as the stamped receiver is just as serviceable as the milled and will most likely cost a lot less.

The stamped receivers are stamped out of a flat sheet of steel and then formed by precision bending until the final receiver is completed. The final work is added such as the trunions, spot welding the bolt carrier welds to the inside, and inserting the heavy rivets that are the stamped AK47 receiver’s hallmark.

Wood or Synthetic

The buttstock, pistol grip, and handguards of the AK-47 for sale are made of one of two materials, wood or synthetic. Either choice is good and it a matter of personal preference. If you are looking for the traditional, you will want to choose wood. You will choose between Soviet black made wood and a U. S. made wood stock set. It is not hard to change stock sets out if you would like to change wood or interchange between synthetic and wood for different use conditions. Synthetics are available in a variety of finishes.

Folding Stocks

The AK 47 has options when it comes to buttstocks other than fixed position stocks. Folding stocks come in under folds, right side folds, and left side folds. AK’s are also available with an AR styled collapsible buttstock. These options are legal in most states, but to be safe it is advised to always check with your state’s gun laws to ensure the stock of your choice is legal before you buy.

Barrel Length

A large number of the AK47 for sale today are 16.1-inches long. However, there are shorter and longer variants. For those novices among you buying your first AK-47, you need to be aware that buying a short barrel AK will land you in the NFA arena and will be restricted from individual ownership unless you purchase the BATFE tax stamp and process the federal NFA paperwork. This can be a very time consuming process, and there are reports of people still awaiting approval 7 months down the road. The tax stamp is a recurring annual fee that you will have to pay to retain your short barreled gun.

AK-47 Accessories

If you are going to use a scope, ensure the model you choose comes with a scope mount. It takes someone familiar with scope mounting to accurately mount a scope. The best advice for a novice obtaining their first AK-47 for sale is to choose a model with the scope already on it or use a gunsmith. The accessories market for the AK-47 continues to grow. Just keep in mind, the more you add will also be adding weight. GrabAGun offers AK 47 accessories as well as AK-47 parts.

Caliber

Select the caliber of choice. Many people associate the AK47 for sale with a 7.62 x 39 caliber. However, the AK 47 is available in several calibers. Do you want the cheapest ammo? Then go with a 7.62 × 39 or 5.45 × 39.

If you are looking for a long range AK-47, choose the .308 Win or the 7.62 × 54R. If you already have or plan to have an AR-15 in 5.56, consider choosing an AK in 5.56 × 45. It will provide the convenience of using the same ammo.

Which is Better? The AK47 Vs. The AR15

Posted on  | 0 Comments
ak47 vs ar15

AK-47 and AR-15’s | Head to Head

There are fans on both sides of the AK-47 vs. AR-15 debate. Depending upon the intended use, each gun has its advantages. When making the decision as to purchase the AR 15 for sale vs. the AK47 for sale on today’s market there are several factors to be considered. One way of looking at it is that you are comparing the larger 7.62 × 39 caliber to the smaller 5.56 × 45 and .223 caliber.

Caliber is Important

Unlike the 5.56 caliber, the 7.62 caliber is able to penetrate a concrete block, or as much 0.5 inch steel plate, depending upon the ammo used. The 7.62 is going to do more damage.

All 10 bullets of both the AK and the AR 15 penetrated both sides of a truck, but only the 7.62 ammo went completely through two plywood walls of a garage. As for the 5.56 ammo, 7 of 10 shots fired entered the first wall and fragmented after passing through both sides of the trucks metal body. The results of this demonstration was in the fragmentation of the AR15 in the first wall with only three entries of ten into the second, whereas all 10 shots of the AK47 went clean through everything.

Just this past fall I saw on the news that a hunter had killed two deer with one 7.62 shot as the bullet passed through the first and entered a second killing both. Luckily he wasn’t at the end of his seasons bag limit as it was caught on film. Never under estimate the power of these guns, or of any gun for that matter. It is a gun owner’s responsibility to know the proper use and handling of a gun, as well as knowing a guns range.

Applications of the AR-15 Vs. AK-47

For the gun with the tightest grouping, the longest range, one you can trick out to the max, or use in competitive shooting; choose the AR. But if you want a rifle for self-defense and the greatest reliability, choose the AK 47. Practice makes perfect and the more familiar you are with any gun, the greater your accuracy will be. Using a good grade of ammo for sale will also help.

The AK vs. AR debate includes suitability for home defense. I personally would never shoot either inside of my home. They are simply too powerful with the ability to pass through an assailant or the walls. Either could also pass through an exterior wall and into a neighbor’s house. I prefer the AR-15 as a coyote gun and the AK is one of my if-crap-hits-the-fan guns.

Hunter’s use both guns with success and there is no shortage of either in the woods come deer season. Ultimately, my advice is to shoot both weapons before making a decision. Both are great guns and, if you can afford it, purchase one of each. I have seen accurate hunters take a deer in one shot with a .22 rifle. It’s just proof to the old saying that “a good gun can’t make a good hunter out of a bad one.”

Weight of The AK47 vs. AR15

Another factor to consider in the AK-47 vs. AR 15 decision is weight. The heavier AK 47 for sale is manufactured out of steel, whereas most AR’s are manufactured from mostly aluminum. Due to their larger size, the AK-47 ammo will add more carry weight than the AR-15 ammo for sale, another reason that many choose the AR over the AK.
