The best thing about that 642 is that you can dump it in your pocket and go.

The five rounds of .38 Spl in your pocket is better than the 8 of .45 ACP in the truck.

You can't grip a revolver the same way you would a semi. Revolvers are fun guns to shoot.

My mother has one, I know exactly what the recoil is like. It really isn't as bad as you are making it out to be.

So I picked up my '74, but didn't really have a chance to mess with it until last night because I was over at my friend's for most of Saturday and Sunday.


The rifle looks and feels fine, but only the larger half of the handguard is plum (and even then, it's so dark that it looks black). Also, the action was incredibly tight until I sprayed it down with RemOil. I feel like I've definitely get my money's worth.

I'll probably get bigger pistol grip, and maybe a longer stock

I prefer a shorter stock on an AK and a folding one too

I'm pretty sure I'm taller than you. A shorter stock isn't as comfortable to me as a longer one would be.

The furniture on mine matched pretty good. Did the #s match?

I added this pad on my Poly AKM but the screw holes don't match the Waffen.

May just make some new holes.

Yeah, they match.


I took a closer look, and the other part of the handguard is actually a really dark plum as well. You can just barely tell it's plum, it's so dark.
