New Tantal (with pics for the pic nazis)

[Aggressive Perfector]

Finally got my first AK74. Maybe not a "true" AK74, but an AK chambered in 5.45x39. Built by Century Arms. Traded my AR for this gun, 180 rounds of Silver Bear 5.45 and a spam can of 7n6. I fired it before making the deal, no keyholing issues whatsoever, but the lack of chrome lining is mildly disappointing. Seems like a nice little rifle. More accurate than my WASR, and very soft shooting. Which is good because this folding wire stock resting against my jaw on a 7.62x39 would suck! Now I get to hunt down a new bayonet to fit it, a polish Bakelite pistol grip, and hopefully some surplus mags that won't break the bank so I can stockpile some of those and keep these Crapco mags for plinking use only.

I spent a half hour trying to fuck with this camera and clean the lense for better pic quality but this is the best I've gotten thus far.

Do you have that Nikon L610 set to Auto mode, ISO 200? Was the flash turned on? Hard to believe the lens would be dirty enough to do that.


Nice rifle Though. A lot less common then an AR...

Can you find soft point ammo for it?

[Aggressive Perfector]

L610, yes. ISO 200? No goddamn idea what that means. Flash was turned on, lens was cleaned, settings were played with and I selected the best 2 of 10 pictures I took, 1 of the 10 was on Auto, which did not make the cut. It's strange though, the pictures I took of my Winchester shotgun, WASR, and pictures I took of my AR and Glock have all turned out fine in the past. I wonder if my parents' rug has any effect on the final picture?


Less common than an AR, but still common enough that ammo and parts aren't hard to find.

Hornady does make a Vmax 5.45 round, but haven't seen any lead soft points. However, 7n6 is nasty enough, no need for Vmax or soft points IMO.

Is there a little flower on the cameras screen when you are taking the picture?


You have a Winchester shotgun?

[Aggressive Perfector]

Well, not right this minute. Right now there's a bar accross it stating "Out Of Memory".

It's less a Winchester shotgun, and more a shotgun Made in Turkey branded as a Winchester SPX. It's well made, and I got her cheap so I won't bitch.

LoL shit. Your card is full.. or not even in there.

I am willing to bet its just a settings issue with that camera.

I will read through the manual later to see if there is a factory reset option. I need to get to the ship soon.
