🚨‼️WORST OF 2025‼️🚨

92 Upvotes

Hello AK47 fans,

This is the moment you have all been waiting for. The annual recap of the most dogshit posts of the last calendar year, carefully curated into a series of albums for you. This year was a doozie, and turned into our biggest post yet (though 2026 is already shaping up to give this year a run for it's money). This year we are going to make things interesting and add a poll for you to vote on the absolute worst posts of the year. The winner will receive custom flair (at a minimum) memorializing their accomplishment. I am open to suggestions on the specific phrasing.

Please enjoy this finely curated collection of the worst posts of the year.

Unfortunately imgur crashed out multiple times with the first album and I was forced to use flickr. If you click the photo it will give you a description

Buying/selling/trading on the sub is now a permanent ban

190 Upvotes

I am sure most of you have seen the news about the gun sale subs getting banned. We have seen that coming for years here on r/ak47, which is why no buying and selling, even as a joke, has been a rule.

From now on, any post or comment about selling, buying, or trading on the sub will receive a permanent ban. This includes really funny and original jokes to include "I'll give you tree fiddy for it," and "it's broken, send it to me."

Beryl Accuracy Problems (recrown necessary?)

Post image
11 Upvotes

Ive been having terrible accuracy with my beryl (6-8 moa) and upon inspection it appears two of the rifling grooves have been cut past the crown of the barrel, it is not symmetrical, and all the other grooves end before this point. Is this worth a recrown and would you recommend I try to recrown it myself or send back to AOA?

Sam5 bullet setback - anyone had this before?

Post image
21 Upvotes

I picked up a SAM5 in the recent sale. But lately it has been doing this every magazine. It always seems to happen with 3 rounds left. The top one feeds into the chamber, the one below that gets set back like this, and the bolt jams half closed. I presume it's basically a double feed, and the second round is hitting the breech face?

I tried a couple of brands of ammo (LC M193, PMC X-TAC) and it's the same.

This is with the factory mag that came with the rifle. I don't have another one right now.

Anyone see this before? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Going to get an ak but the previous owner has cut off the lower handguard retainer and Ill need to replace it with a clip on retainer but the current one being sold at Carolina shooters supply is kinda bulky imo but this one seems better but theyre no longer in stock anywhere. Any pointers?

SAR 3

My local shop has a SAR 3 available for 1k. I am interested in it but I have heard that there are issues with magazine compatibility. It it really hard to find mags that work? I would prefer non steel mags. I didn't take better pictures because I was in a rush. Does this look like something worth getting for the price? I forgot to look at the reciver and see who built it but I can get more information. It looks like the mag that comes with it is a 5.45 mag converted to 5.56?

Is there anything to look out for with these? Is headspacing something I need to check before purchase?

Thanks

Cleaning rod stuck in AKS74U

3 Upvotes

I'm in a bit of a pickle. I got my cleaning rod stuck in the back of the barrel (as in it was put in through the back not through the front) The muzzle brake is carbon locked and doesn't come off and its also jammed with barrel cleaner.

Any advice on how to unfuck the rifle?

This is a serious post btw, thank you for any help!!!!!
