Being a gun guy in the 2000s was like dating a super model caliber girl in high school. You took it for granted and didn't realize it until 15 years later.
The good old days. My buddies and I still talk about the glory days kicking ourselves. Cases of 9mm under $100. bricks of 22 for $24 223 for less than $200. We had no idea. Should have been eating ramen and buying bulk. I'd be a millionaire....
Bro as a 27 y/o gun enthusiast who wasted his late teens and early twenties addicted to drugs and living hard, i feel this so bad lmao. I got clean and got a good job right as the pandemic hit and prices started skyrocketing. Dont even get me started on the fact that i live in WA and how they passed Hb-1240 just in time to fuck me out of buying any of my favorote rifles besides Q's The Fix since its bolt action.😤🙃🫠 @sanctum2fan
That grip put romania on the map as far as america is concerned lol if you asked an average american id bet cash most only know about that Romanian G variant grip lol not kidding they are the most ignorant humans on the planet
@@abrahamm1325 My defense is that Romanian manufacturing is basically third world level and I replaced the furniture with kit that doesn't suck. Including stocks of my own design and construction. I haven't found a handguard that I am 100% happy with yet, but I effectively have my own AK variant at this point. 🤣
dongs are actually very user friendly to the AK operator anyone who's owned an AK and shot the standard wooden furniture understands that it gets hot very fast the dong allows you to at least keep your hand on your AK and not burn yourself when you are shooting high volume of fire
It would be better have the front grip, because the bolt charging handle some time would hit your front arm if you hold it wrong, will be pain of the ass broke the fingers!
This is accurate because after the year 2000, almost everyone wanted high-tech metal/plastic stuff. We were already used to wood styles. And now we're overwhelmed with the tech crap and admire the old wood stuff again. Even I'm on the market for an M1 Garand
It's a combination of both that and not appreciating the cheap stuff we had at the time. Now everyones an absolute nerd who HAS to have every oddball piece of shit they can get their hands on... and the days of canted-to-fuck $350 WASR-10s that came with them is long gone.
For Christmas I got my brother Romanian furniture for his RH10 including a dong style handguard. I sanded off the original finish and then used a woodstain that I made myself and handoiled and polished it. The wood looked great when I was done. Hope he likes it, I put about three weeks worth of work into that.
@@hoondaily270 I'd like to know. He never replied when I texted him to ask if he'd ever installed it. That was about 170 bucks worth of furniture plus the labor I put into improving it. He'd better fucking like it.
@@sharonrigs7999 Well, I appreciate that. The Black Walnut makes a beautiful stain, once the oil and polish is applied. I make it by gathering the husks from the tree in my backyard and boiling them in a pot of water for a few hours.
I have had range time with several different examples of Romanian AKs, and I gotta say, there's just something about the Dong that keeps drawing me back. It's either that it provides a good controllable grip surface, or my subconscious is telling me I'm gay
I have 2 forward curved ones . That barrel gets hot and the grip is the best. Ak will be a staple till the end of the world . And after it’ll be a terrific momento.
@@Valast Hey, I', not telling him what to do, merely advising him. He wants to ride his AK while listening to the Backstreet Boys, that's his business.
My father had one of these when he was in the army. He was in a regiment of artilery. He served in the romanian army until the revolution of 89'. ( He was on the comunist side.)
this is one of those shorts that you have no interest in the topic but youtube just rerecommends it to you 3 times every year just because of how good it is
