I was able to cut bayonet lugs into my gas block pretty easily using a dremel with a heavy duty cut-off wheel. Fits a Yugo & a Romanian bayonet pretty well.

Just got one of these. Mine came with a sling, slant brake, additional chevron style muzzle brake, extra trigger and disconnector, extra extractor, firing pin, and associated springs and pins for those. And 2 mags. I assumed these were the polish made parts they took off for 922r compliance but i don't think the extractor or firing pin are 922r parts...? Oh well very happy with it, great quality and smooth action.

@@farklestaxbaum4945 good deal, that’s a lot of extra parts they included with it. Mine only came with extra mags. I am happy with mine as well, especially considering the low price I paid for it.

That's probably due to the fact that they were about to go out of business. They may have been trying to get rid of parts. Mine came with 1 mag and the extra brake and i bought it about 4 months before they closed. I'm a big fan of my rifle, it shoots great and has been nothing but reliable.

On the trigger pin walking out, check the pin hole on the receiver. Do they get larger and oval shaped? Does the trigger or hammer wiggles more as the round count increases?

I was in my local pawn shop and saw a brand pioneer ak with a front trunnion label "fb radom poland" but other markings say it is a pioneer ak47. Im stumped any additional intel would be appreciated.

@@justinrichardson4456 the one I got has “Radom, 11,Poland” around their shield on the trunnion along with Pioneer Arms Sporter on the left side of receiver. Right side of receiver has Pioneer Arms Corp. on it. FB Radom is different make of AK, a lot better quality, but it shouldn’t have Pioneer Arms with it. I wonder if someone did their own project and mixed parts of those two.

Their rifles seem a bit iffy. I'll just stico with other imports. If companies are willing to cut costs. You can't trust their reliability on their products.
@balkanshed8 ай бұрын
They did have a lot of issues with them when they started importing them years ago. It definitely gave them bad name. Time will tell if they got the issues fixed. This one so far has been holding up well, we will see if it stays like that. Still, Zastava would be my first choice when it comes to AK’s.

@michaelwingreen9141 Companies do have lemons. It happens with all companies, even the good ones. Zastava has had a couple. But it's not like century in the crap they were pumping out like the ras 47 was breaking with every other rifle. Zastava knows what their doing. In fact, if you look at the majority of Ak's out there in the Middle East, majority are m70's being used out there. If they were really crap you wouldn't see those middle easterns carring those m70s. Shit there's even a video of Navy seals raiding a issis compound with m70s look it up.
