Nicely done! Thanks for posting.
Those stocks are nice, but expensive as hell. I don't know why someone can't make an affordable copy here, or import one. |

you'll go far here, you know about the toes in the pics process.
Seriously though, nice conversion! Are you going to tackle the FSB and thread that barrel or make it more like a 102, or let it stand? (I admit I only read about 1/4 of your post ) |

Great job! IMHO, I'd get a welder to attach your broken tab on the lever or attach another piece of metal that you could file/sand to shape.

Go and hide in a hole if you wish, but you won't live one instant longer. Your fate is fixed. Fear profits a man nothing.

(I admit I only read about 1/4 of your post ) I do want to add a AK style muzzle break to it. Not sure which type yet. I'll have to do some looking & figure out which I want to go with. My next thing I want to get done is some optics on this guy. I'm thinking red dot, only because my AR already has a variable power scope, so I have a scope to play with, but not a regular red dot. My AR scope is a SWFA 1-4x with the donut reticle so it can kinda act as a red dot, however that was like a $600-$700 scope & i'm not paying for another one of those for my AK. I was thinking one of the cheaper Aimpoint red dot knock offs & the MI quick detach rail meant for holding a red dot. That mount looks real nice. I saw it in the new AK products section. |

Primary Arms customer service is absolutely top-notch too. https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_Micro_Dot_With_Fixed_Base_p/md-07.htm |

I did look into the ultimak as I do like the design of it. However I wanted to have upper & lower handguards & pistol grip in wood. I figured I would use the side rail like they were designed to use, but yes if I wanted a more tactical AK, I would go with ultimak.

Check out the Mueller 1x4 dot scope on the MI 30mm scope mount. You will always have a dot battery on or off. Cost for both would be less than the Aimpoint.
