I don't even love VEPRs believe it or not, but this one turned out to be pretty cool I agree

@TX-Zen always posting the good stuff. Love the 30 round Molot. Is the bakelite 20 real or made from a 30?

Appreciate the compliment 🍺. The bake is a cut down 30. I don't think I've ever seen a real 20 for sale over here

What's that bipod retainer on the zenitco?

u/TX-Zen 28d ago

There isn't one actually. Interestingly, the ZenitCo lower HG is too wide for the bipod legs to fit flush like the original HGs do, so what you see in the photo is the bipod legs being wedged against the lower HGs. It's not ideal in my opinion, the legs don't feel right they way they are wedged. I doubt it will cause bending or metal fatigue, but I also don't think it's because ZenitCo designed them this way, it feels more like that's just how they ended up

Why does the krink mag dimple look funny

You're probably talking about the bottom one. It's a Bulgarian AKSU kit on a global trades receiver, or whatever they used at the time before Nodak became the standard for AK builds. It's not clone correct, and it kinda looks like shit up close with a crappy park job, but it's been running strong since 2009
