Who needs all that fancy stuff... Here is a nice good standard Mosin set up for about anything.. Photos taken during one of our (Group of like minded Serbs) training and drill sessions.. I am the designated marksman of the group so often have the "Sniper" weapon. Gun varies from time to time... This is a Ex- sniper Mosin that has been tweaked for accuracy and long range use.

(BTW trigger discipline is low as I know the gun is unloaded and in fact this gun is in fired position,, otherwise you would never see my finger on a trigger)

Gun above itself is not really interesting.. just a 1943 Ishvesk Former PU "sniper" re-arsenal made in the Ukraine .. Real kicker is the scope.. This particular PU scope is a very early Aluminum tube scope with brass fittings and PE/ PEM style reticle housing . These scopes are uber-rare and only a very few have ever actually been seen. http://mosinnagant.net/sniper section/sniperphotos12.asp

Gun was just a by product and very nice on it's own but this scope is worth every penny spent.
Looks very similar to a scope I picked up in Iraq. I'll have to snap a pic and post it when I get a chance. Unfotunately I didnt get a chance to get the wacky soviet bateries for it.

Please do... I'd be interested in seeing it.

Was just out at the range so thought I'd get some pics of the guns while cleaning them...In particular the Interesting Romanian AKT-98 which is a 22lr "training rifle".

The AKT-98 is made in the world famous Armamentos AK factory in Cugir Romania. (Other factory is CN Romarm which most exports are made) What it was made for and why really is a mystery but it is assumed to have been designed as a training rifle for some country wishing to lower ammo costs. Around 300 or so where imported into the US either as production over runs or as Guns not paid for by the country that contracted them. Later another series of 22lr Romanian AK's followed called the WSAR-22. These guns are NOT the same!!! Both manufacturing and base models are different. The AKT is built on the Md.86- 5.45 (or 223) receiver whereas the WSAR-22 is built on the Md.63- 7.62x39 reciever. Magazines are are also different and not interchangeable. The Magazines for the AKT where made off 20 round double stack steel 5.45 (or 223) The WSAR-22 stock is a single stack 7.62x39 10 round.

Magazines for the stock AKT-98 suck internally so I use modified East German
KK-MPi Mod.69 select fire AK training rifle Magazines. (interestingly the AKT has stamped KK-95 on it and this is presumed to be the actual model name)

Anyhow here are some pics with some comparisons to the Standard AKM (I.E. WSAR-10 /63)

I should note: The AKT despite being a 22lr is practically a short range sniper rifle this thing is extremely accurate even out to ranges a regular AK is useless. I have had 1 inch groups with the AKT out to 150 yards with iron sights and out to 200 using a PSOP 8x42 scope.

I'm loving your AK's! I just bought an AKT and am on day 1 of the 10 day wait period in CA. Anyway is that the Romanian Wood Furniture Set you got on yours? I just ordered a set from hendersondefense today. I'm looking for some 10/30 mags but can't find any. Can you point me in the right direction?

My AKT actually came like this with the Romanian wood and black Bakelite hand guard. ANY stamped AK furniture set will work for these and I have swapped my Sar-3 folding stock with it before. Not sure if this is legal in your parts though. (Frankly I like the wood stock better)

Mags for these are impossible to find. Southern Ohio Guns or Gunbroker are your best bets. Expect to pay a lot....($35 to $40 per mag) The East German KK-MPi-22 mags are a bit cheaper ($15 to $20) but still hard to come by. These require a bit of work on them to function properly. (let me know if you find some and I'll send you over the conversion instructions)

One US company is in the design phase for a thirty round but I should warn you that if you put it on your gun it makes it an "assault weapon" and you will then have to follow the 922r parts game, it may also make it Cali Illegal.. I suggest you stick with the 10 rds.
 
Poly... I cant actually find it written anywhere.... do u know, Were the aksu originally released with plumb hand grip or wood? found lots of pics of both and i know 74's were originally plumb....? i'm tryna build a rep at the mo, but kit i got has blck furniture...:irked:
 
I dont think either were originally plum. Im not going to look it up but didnt the AKSU just have the short laminate handguards and triangle stock? The original '74s were laminate as well, the guard guns had what was called a "lightning cut" down the middle of the butt stock I believe.

I had a bulgarian plum stock set on my SAR-3 and it was damn sexy to be purple and on a gun! :drool:

BTW, how do you own such weapons in the UK?
 
Yep...plum stocks (Glass-Reinforced Polyamide) where not in use until the mid to late 80's.. First AKSU had a shortend laminate handguard and the steel triangle folding stock. I have however seen an early stock set which was of a red bakelite material. Not sure if this was a prototype or actually issued
