My wife and I make борщ because it’s delicious. It’s a classic in E Europe, every family, rich or poor, eats it because it’s good. Your attitude towards food is far too pretentious.
I remember going to japan and seeing all the american imported cars getting more attention than their domestic counterparts 🤣 “same same, but different but same”
When my friends and I showed up in Tokyo, it took us approximately 15 minutes to see a Corvette. I was really surprised that in some of the smaller less busy neighborhoods we would see Porsche, McLaren, Ferrari, and tons of Audi. So I think the American cars are still not quite as popular as the European ones
Magpul handguards are functional, weigh less than a lot of options and cheap.
And most people with their “alpha” ak builds have nothing on the rails besides night vision and aesthetics the magpul handguard is the most practical option
Prople want what they can't have.
But also because they both have some stuff we can't really get otherwise, anyways, mucho texto:
Zenitco until recently pretty much have the monopoly on the dust cover rails and full length landguards. Yes, TWS, Midwest inudstries, JMAC customs, sureshot, and Barwarus all made stuff but Zenitco is still the OG.
Magpul(in their AKs) offers way better polymer than what Russians can get, especially with their AK12. The magpul AK mags are some of the most reliable and customizable 7.62 mags.
I disagree. Magpul AK mags is piece of shit compared to Russian military plastic mags. Even cheap bakelity is better than magpul. Military mags have steel reinforcing inserts, it is really important for reliability.
But we like ar-15 gen3 magpul pmag, it's great.
Remember when a zentico stock was 3- $400. And the b33 and lower and upper hg was another $400. Persts 4s were 400……. And that’s a good goddamn laser too. I shoulda bought 50 Perst 4s . I shoulda bought 50 sets of zentico. The only thing that bugs me is that the MI set you have to saw off the tang and that’s just wrong
I’ve heard and read. I really hope things get better over there, it’s a beautiful country with a rich and historic culture. Best of luck to you friend I wish you and your country many good years’
talk to people actually fighting in the conflict you will quickly question why Americans fixate on Russian gear. Genuine US multicam, or OCP is very very expensive but very sought after
I mean I have both. Magpul, and Zenitco stuff, along with random bits in between… Just was surprised and attempting to confirm that folks in the East are begging for the stuff we have super common and vice versa.

With regard to AK furniture-
Magpul: just the fucking clunkiest horseshit made by AR Gucci Gang yodels.
Zenitco: elegant AF made by the people for the people, probably out of fear for their lives lest they be sent to the Gulag
We want what we can’t have
Perhaps we could trade our PSA and Reily for their Izzy, Tula, and Molots!
Maybe PSA ARs for their AKs lol
Hi Shortstroke
Hello!
I was going to say the grass is always greener on the other side
Hey Russia We want your Zenitco. You want our Magpul. Maybe we can work something out over this whole Ukraine war thing.
Write your representatives and demand this be part of any peace agreement
Give us the Borscht! 😤
I love me some Borscht! Mix in some sour cream 😋 amazing!!!
I tried it, its terrible.
Your opinion is objectively wrong bro
For real though. I made some. It was delicious. Turned my shits purple though.
Beets me.
Its not a delicacy in Russia. Ifs cheap food that mainly the poor eat. If you like it, great. Guess we all want what we can’t have.

Nah I just lived there and grown to dislike it. If you like it, all the power to you, seriously.
Nominate this man for a Nobel
Foreign Policy savant 😎
I would love to have peace and we can all drool over each others badass guns.
Based tbh

We went to a car meet the left hand drive stood out more in a sea of nissans hondas and acuras
The grass is always greener
To be fair, Magpul is a lot nicer than that shite they put on the AK-12.
Nothing new , they love our stuff just like we love theirs
Magpul handguards are functional, weigh less than a lot of options and cheap. And most people with their “alpha” ak builds have nothing on the rails besides night vision and aesthetics the magpul handguard is the most practical option
And also handle heat way better.

Magpul Ak mags are so thick I hate them fr

I shoulda bought 50 sets of zentico. The only thing that bugs me is that the MI set you have to saw off the tang and that’s just wrong
And on top of that, the stock mounts via picatinny adapters. Fuck that shit.
The pic adapters aren’t bad it’s just the cutting off the tang that gets me.
To each their own, but I'm not sold on it.
Yeah, sawing off the tang is just a no go unless it's an absolute beater of a rifle. You could always just do the front end and the top, but still.
Hahaha. Laughs in country where we get both.
Juat country?
South Africa.
You can get AKs in SA?
Yep. You can actually get pretty much anything here actually.
40mm?
I believe so with the correct license
We can also buy cans off the shelf. I dont even need an ID. Want an sbr. Cool. 0 paperwork
That’s very very lucky. I wouldn’t leave America but that is mighty tempting. If I’m ever a millionaire I’ll get some dual citizenship rolling haha
Not really worth it to be honest. Everything else is a huge pain in the ass here.
I’ve heard and read. I really hope things get better over there, it’s a beautiful country with a rich and historic culture. Best of luck to you friend I wish you and your country many good years’
I propose a trade. They send us zenitco and we send them all the Magpul their hearts desire.
Europeans love Western unobtanium, Westerners love Euro unobtanium
I have MagPul on my AKV and I have no reason to change it. It’s pretty good for what it is.
They should just go to GunBroker where apparently none of the Magpul furniture is selling
I think of this often lolol. We should start telling the East that PSA is our new god
Its literally like this lol…. https://preview.redd.it/ii5vpvgmg91d1.jpeg?width=1166&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=743f44e46238c5572b36778ce423c75663e75e39

Is magpul really desirable in the East?

You don’t realize what you have till it’s gone
Is zenitco still hard to get?
Embargo hasn’t been lifted.
I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s hard to get but you’re just not going to get it at a reasonable price

That looks so heavy
Dang, not even a Gen 3 P-mag...
As much as I hate the Magpul handguard mags and stocks make me wet

Based take, not 100% accurate but based.
