Is Kalashnikov USA or the Red Army Standard any good?

Also after how many rounds should I clean an AR?

Sorry for the double post but I don't feel like editing my other cause i gotta get dinner off the stove.

KUSA is good to go, they have the actual Kalashnikov Concern TDPs and their guns are made correct. This is the only US company that makes a good Kalashnikov rifle and its variants.

Cleaning is up to you, honestly. Depends on how much you want to baby it but generally every couple thousand rounds at the most.


EDIT: Do not buy any CAI (RAS is a sub-brand of CAI) made AKs unless you enjoy your guns exploding on you. The RAS branded ammo is ok though, it's just rebranded Tula (the lowest quality x39 out there short of reloads from an Appalachian hill billy, but still perfectly fine for plinking).

That's a Romanian AK based on the Paratroop version they did. It's meant to be SBR'd, those barrels are pretty damn thin. From what I understand there's nothing actually wrong with them except that CAI touched them upon importation but otherwise should be ok. If I was going to get a Wasr though I'd just get a regular one with a normal front sight post instead of a combined gasblock/FSP.

Thank you for the info as always!

Yeah, I'd rather just hold out to see if Atlantic gets the Zastava shipment they posted about for later this week. Got email alerts for all the models they might have. I REALLY am enjoying this m92 so I think I want an M70 to go with it.

Also, Atlantic has some Romanian battlefield pick-up rifles with the dong available if that is anyone's thing.
 
Last I checked WASRs were pretty much G2G as long as you checked over the sights to make sure they weren’t canted.

Also really debating between buying an AUG or building a nicer AR. I mean, the AUG looks cool as hell IMO and is super short even with a twenty inch barrel, but the AR I’m daydreaming about also looks pretty dope and would definitely have a nicer trigger. God I wish I could just be filthy rich.

I'd go with an AR. All guns break at some point, and it's nice to have readily available replacement parts.

If my CO read this post he'd literally have a stroke, lol. Mind you it can definitely go that long without a cleaning, but after 400-500 rounds it would start bugging my OCD.

At least it's not an SKS where you have to disassemble the bolt to clean it properly. People end up filing down that pin that holds the firing pin in the bolt so they can clean it in the field without using a punch.

The best part about not being in is not having to detail strip your shit after every 50 rounds. 😉

I'm lazy so I clean my AKs every thousand rounds or so... However I also detail strip and clean/maintenance my firearms every quarter. Just recently replaced every spring in one of my SW third gens.

Already have Chassepot to FAMAS & I'm waiting for the Kalashnikov tome, but Thorneycroft to SA80 is shipping.

These books are *very* nice, even for someone who isn't really into those particular rifles.

This is also an extremely unpopular time to pull that shit given how many new gun owners there are from last year alone. BLM looting and rioting showed just about the whole country that the State is unwilling to protect you.

many new gun owners bought out of fear of either never getting a gun, or needing one and not having it. they are not "committed" to gun rights, and political bedfellow can sway people to willingly give them up for a political/ideological reason, or that they would be risking their life/livelihood for something they only just acquired and haven't owned for very long.

i fully expect half of the millions of new guns to be lost, stolen, or sold back into the market in short order because the new owners are not "gun people". they lack the culture or the drive and instead made an impulsive decision based on a combination of fear and "if they are doing it, we need to also, because we are warriors in our political tribe".

there are precious few new owners i've encountered (regardless of their politics) that see guns as the modern way to exercise a fundamental human right to self-defense. they are toys, pacifiers, and/or magic totems that make "bad things" go away and when an adult promises to do so for them, to relieve them of the burden of responsibility, they can be just as easily given up without any remorse.

I don't want to powerlevel, but I've personally seen and talked to a wide variety of new gun owners. Almost all of them fit into three groups: guys who pick up guns as their new mid life crisis hobby and zoomer gamers or the much more common 'idiot who doesn't know shit and don't care to learn'. The last group is the most dangerous to rights because they'll say shit like "as a gun owner I support xyz government overreach" meanwhile they own a S&W SD9 that hasn't been fired in months and was never cleaned. They'll also do irresponsible shit like not keeping guns away from children fueling new legal bullshit.

I know some very pro-2a people who oppose things like constitutional carry because they work around the average new gun owner. I still don't agree with them but I've grown to understand their position over the last year,

NGL, I have mixed feelings about constitutional carry. I support it in principle, but taking a concealed carry class redpilled me hard.

Even if you are obviously in the right to use lethal force to defend yourself, the prosecution will still be wanting your scalp. There's a fuckton of landmines you can step on if you don't know the legal landscape of your state and local jurisdictions.

The most sobering advice my CC instructor said was: "make a list of people you are willing to go to prison for".

I've attended several CCW classes (reciprocity issues = extra licenses) and the best instructor I ever had explained that to use deadly force the "Threat Triangle" should be met. That is: 1. Means to harm you. 2. Intent to harm you. 3. Opportunity to harm you.

If all three legs of the triangle are met? Then blast away. If something is missing? Monitor and assess but don't put yourself open to prison in the event it could have boiled over.

In practice:
  • Somebody who says he wants to kill you and is a brick shit house/has a knife/may have a gun but is behind a fence/some barrier and not on your property well don't shoot him. Now if he pulls a gun fire away. (Opportunity is missing)
  • Somebody has a knife out (lets say a schizo) and is in relative proximity to you but is staring at the sun screaming at it. Don't shoot unless he makes a move towards you . (No intent).
  • Some asshole doesn't like your driving and chases you down the highway. You come to a light and he is screaming how he will fuck you up but isn't showing weapons and you're in your locked car. Don't shoot unless he escalates trying to get in or pulls a weapon. (Means is missing)
He taught us the textbook broad legal definition for the state (as required for the class) which was vague enough that Boogie killing Frank Hassle would have been a toss up in court, but gave us the threat triad as an suggested matrix to consider.

In the class he threw out the scenario where you wake up to a noise and come down to some nigger (my vocabulary not his) exiting your backdoor with your tv in hand. He asked the class if they would shoot the guy. A lot of first time gun owners were like "hell yeah kick some tires and lit some fires" then he asked them ok the guy is leaving why shoot him in the back? Lot of hemming and hawing to that.

Then he asked "well maybe you don't shoot him, but do you follow him outside to tell him to stop?". Again the yahoos were like yes. He told them "congratulations you just left your door to get brained by a guy waiting outside with a bat you didn't see. Say goodbye to your TV, now your gun and possibly your life".

He ended by advising if Tyrone walked out with the TV then turned around and walked back in then light his ass up bc you don't know what he's capable of but you now know he has means, intent, and opportunity.

TLDR to quote Outkast "Don't pull that thang out, unless you came to bang"
