FB Radom, WBP, and AC unity Mags work reliably for the 5.56/.223 Jack. The other mags you've used are converted 5.45 mags and they only look good but are unreliable. I think a 5.56/.223 AK is a great companion for current AR-15 owners who are looking to enter the AK world without having to spend extra money for ammo.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the new steel-lined polymer .223 mags from ProMag are surprisingly good and reliable. Quite a surprise for a company that otherwise makes utter shit quality mags.

I own a WBP Jack 5.56, and it's probably the most "out of the box" reliable 5.56 AK I've ever purchased. So far, I've put... maybe 800-ish? rounds through it (I don't actually keep count, just doing memory math right now). It had no break-in period, unlike my Zastava M90NP (and I blame Century Arms, not Zastava, for that) and SAM-5 (gas issues). Don't let the AK community's version of FUDDS tell you 5.56 is inappropriate in the AKM platform, it's just fine provided the manufacturer did their part and magazines are compatible. Also, your cleaning rod issue. It has threads but there's nowhere for it to thread into in this WBP AKs, so... it's prone to become loose with continued shooting. I keep mine in vest pocket or range bag but no longer ON the rifle itself. AC Unity 5.56 mags work in my rifle beautifully, so I stacked them, tested them all out, work great. It's shitty when people have problems with their 5.56 AKs, it just reinforces the prejudice from the "old guard" that AKMs can't possibly modernize into the 21st century or work in anything except historic, Soviet cartridges.

I've bought 3. I gave 1 to my son after I used it for a while. All 3 have been excellent. Perfect QC, all 3 were sighted in out of the box, perfectly straight. Action is excellent, with no visible wear on the internal parts on the one with the most rounds thru it (about 4k). They have perfectly timed the cam channel on the bolt carrier. They go into battery perfectly smooth unlike most AKs resulting in no wear on the bolt and trunnion. All 3 have been very accurate, my most accurate AKs and more or at least as accurate as most of my ARs.

One way to test if its the magazine, or if its happening when the magazine is inserted, is to chamber a round remove the mag and then see if it extracts. The issue is either a bad extractor or a messed up chamber, or maybe an improperly head spaced chamber. We had a ar that kept not wanting to extract we trouble shot it to the fact the chamber was so dirty it was causing the casing to get stuck, the operator had never used a chamber brush to clean it out.

My WBP Mini-Jack 5.56 runs like a top, even with Bakelites and Plums with Pod Arms followers.

@AKS-74U

Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't say it was designed FOR those cartridges. There's nothing specific about the way the bolt feeds. The tapered cartridges lend themselves to less sticky extraction, and slightly improved feeding. 5.56, being straight walled, has more friction when entering and extracting from the chamber.

Great video, glad you're showing this hiccups

I hope you get your 5.56 debugged. Mine has been fine. But I only have 500 rounds through it so that's not a lot. Steel case .223 can be weird. Some guys say their ak(s) don't like it and some say the same about 5.56. Try some brass cased 5.56 or some other brand of steel cased.

Cool, but I can not see the usefulness of an AK tool in 5.56. It's inferior in accuracy and weight to an AR. 7.62, yes it generally needs a more beefy tool to run it, and generally, 7.62 ARs have a history of issues, so 7.62 makes sense. I got ARs for 5.56 and zpap and galil ace for 7.62 with black circle 10 mags.

not inferior in accuracy at all. look at what the milspec acceptance standards are. You cannot compare a bottom tier PSA AK to a decent AR. Compare any AR to an Arsenal, FB Radom or WBP using radom barrels and the AR is a very close 2nd.

Just clean the chamber, oil it up and you're back in the fight.
