imschur Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I believe your our second member with the GSG AK. I fear we may let you down on advice.The Winchester ammo has a rep for not being reliable but the Federal is well respected. Is there any sort of adjustments for the action?Maybe you can private message microgunner. He's the other member with one of these. Unfortunately He's not around during the week.Ill poke around for info when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmao_37 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 i have phoned the importer that deals with my rifle and i have sent it back to them to have tested and repaired under warrenty as its had such a high number of fte's i would fire the gun 3 times it would fte on the third one on every mag even cleaned the gun and mag and it still did it, the rifle was clean when we started to shoot and the first mag went through no probs then it just refused to eject i wish i hadnt brought an gsg ak47 >:( should have got a s&w m&p15/22 instead also the safety lever nearly came off due to a screw working its self loose every time i worked the safty lever the build quality is crap :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 The only problem with my GSG AK was the magazine. I was supplied a 2 shot instead of 30 shot magazine. Go figure? ATI promptly rectified the problem without complaint and allowed me to keep the 2 rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmao_37 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 a 2 shot mag is it worth it ? whats the next thing a sling shot mount to go on the top? can you mod it to take 24 rounds ? well i cant wait to get it back as i wana go to the range already >:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 They sent me a 30 round replacement. The 2 rounder is for the German market only says ATI. For hunting purposes we hypothesized. The 2 rounder can be converted be removing the filler panels on the sides and replacing the spring and base. You can see the 2 round magazine in this photo.

lmao_37 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 i cant belive they made a 2 round mag just seems pointless :thumb: well nice photo how long have ou had your ak ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmao_37 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 i phoned ATI yesterday and they have tested and repaired my rifle, when the empty cases were ejecting they were hitting the inside of the cocking handle and rebounding back it to the bolt face (the tech i spoke to yesterday said its the first time he has seen this with a gsg ak47) so ATI have tune'd the ejector so the empty case's eject slightly forward to avoid the cocking handle and it should be back by the end of the week so i cant wait to get it and take it to the range again :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmao_37 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 i finally got my rifle back today, you can see where the ejector has been reworked and they have repainted all the arear's where the paint had chipped off where the stove piped empty case's hit the same spot it looks like they have done a good job of repairing it, but i wont know until a week after next when i can get to the range to use it but at least its back :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
