Remove the Receiver cover by holding in the square button that sticks out the back of the cover.
Slide the Return Spring and the Bolt-Carrier with Piston assembly out
of the rifle.Using a twist-tie, tie the second Sear back to the pin that runs
through the receiver of the rifle,now reassemble the weapon, Slide the Piston and Bolt-Carrier back
into the rifle. Slide the Return Spring back into the Bolt-Carrier and slide the other end of it into its guide slot. Push the "button"end of the Return Spring while settling the Receiver Cover back into
place.if you did it right you now have a full auto ak47 have fun kill lots of zombies

You don't think anything automatic is dangerous, especially something not designed for it? Should you even be handling a gun with that thought process?

Indeed, most American-made AK receivers weren't intended for FA fire - while they'd probably handle it just fine, FA fire is definitely much more harsh than standard SA use. I've seen (with my own eyes, not on the 'net - though you can find it on Youtube as well) the handguards of AK's catch fire from repeated rapid fire, and the AK in question was a semi-auto rifle. That's certainly a burn risk, at minimum.

Just as a disclaimer, I think that anything reproduced from or could have been gleaned from this site is done at your own risk. Stuff happens when you party naked, or in this case, with fully automatic weapons. Exercising extreme caution is the safest bet.

The WAY it's done results in "uncontrollable" full auto is why it's unsafe. Then it puts plastic in amongst a bunch of high-speed moving metal parts that really isn't supposed to be there and there is little room for. It could kB or lock up entirely.

Isn't this the one that as soon as you pull the trigger the magazine empties? Like you are unable to release the trigger to cease fire? 5  out of 7 found this valuable. Do you?

I think that only happens with every other full auto conversion there is. Deja vu John 234 I could of sworn we just had this conversation.

i believe i've said this in another thread, but there are dedicated FA trigger sets for the AK, which are pretty inexpensive really, and won't cause a runaway like this will till the zip tie - or whatever you used to hold it back - breaks.

if the gun's receiver is drilled properly, you can even have it select fire which my dad did to his (we're both gunsmiths, so its all legit....)

with most other guns it would be alot more dangerous but the ak47 has a stamped sheet metal receiver and there is no difference between the semi and the full auto, the internal parts are 99% the same and are made of the same material, and all guns posses the potential to be dangerous not just automatics

"or you could use a Hellstorm......which is a bump firing device that is actually LEGAL in the US"
The Hellstorm is a waste of $40. You can achieve better results from a $0.03 rubber band.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVfwFP_RwTQ

The problem with bump firing is you cannot hold the weapon into your shoulder correctly and you can't achieve a good grip with your firing hand. The downfall of all the bump fire systems (tac trigger, Hellstorm, rubber band) is you cannot use proper shooting fundamentals which always results in much poorer accuracy than a gun with a FA sear.

If you have access to decent machining tools, try this one out. Disclaimer is the same as above.

Also, not ALL bump fire systems are legal. This is a very interesting story if you have never read it. It will also make you realize how ****** up the BATF really is when it comes to screwing people over.

The rear leaf sight adjusts elevation by sliding it up and down the peep rail with the little release buttons on the side.

Windage has to be adjusted by moving the front sight. The front pin can also be raised or lowered to assist with elevation.

"Piston assembly out of the rifle.Using a twist-tie, tie the second Sear back to the pin that runs through the receiver of the rifle,"
Uhmmm....The AK47 only has ONE sear not two

What you are trying to do by holding the sear back so it doesn't engage the hammer is turn the gun into what is called a "Slam Fire" gun. This is where the hammer follows the bolt home.and fires the gun.
A few things about this, ...

One it is very dangerous especially in a high powered weapon because there is a good chance it could fire with the bolt unlocked or out of battery. If this happens the gun and most likely you also will be damaged

Second by deactivating the sear not only will the gun fire only full auto the trigger will no longer work since the sear it what conects it to the hammer. To fire the gun I guess maybe you could just pull the bolt back and let it fly and hope for the best. Of course no way to stop it other then just running out of ammo ...or waiting for it to fire out of battery.

Semi auto AK47 can be converted to fire full auto but is not real easy,
The ATF looks at every semi auto design and if it is easy to convert then that design has to be changed because they don't want easy to convert semis. This is why they don't make open bolt semi auto assault pistols or carbines any more.

All of this is pretty simple stuff and should have been covered in gunsmith 101
