Today I put the newly built Romanian AK thru its arctic test. It has been-50 here the past two nights and -35 during the day,so I put the gun outside and let it freeze all afternoon. Just test fired it and...It functioned Flawlessly with Wolf HP ammo ! The ammo was frozen as well! I built this rifle a little tighter than usual to test accuracy which I will do when I'm not so shivery...LOL.... but wanted to make sure it would do the job at outside temps. Only a small amount of oil was used on the hammer pin and trigger pin at assembly and that was Amsoil 2 cycle 100:1(blue), and a wipe inside the bolt carrier on the rotating slot! It works...I'm happy...Life is GOOD !!!:nod:

Really, I am glad your Ak did well.

so, can you walk easily over lakes, I know you cant do it in wisconsin, some people recently died trying

I love the reliability of an AK. You can always trust it!!
Do you get to fire your guns in your property since you are in the "Alaskan Wilderness"

[Mooseman684]

Yep, you can walk on em, drive on em...lake Ice is 4 ft this time of year minimum. Reliability is what I want in a firearm at these temperatures. I can shoot Right here anytime, day or night and test at different temperatures.
I'm waiting for a friend to bring his bulldozer over and he wants to put in a 1000 yard range for the .50 cal.:nod:

In PA we can fire our own guns on our own property depending on county and municipality.

Crossing a lake is relative to how cold it has been and for how long and what the current is like in a lake (yes lakes have current.) Really it mostly depends on the lake.
