I've seen pics posted on two forums now, and from my quick searching it looks like Century may be importing these also. 7.5" DRACO!

Anybody here have one yet??

Oh boy oh boy oh boy......

I'm eager to see what people replace that hot dog bun foregrip with.

Looks weird. I hope it's functions correctly.

Looks perfect to craft together an AK47K. It'd be an interesting marriage of AK and HK.

Of course, I'm not allowed to own one in NY...

I like it but I am not a fan of that handguard. At that length I would be worried about shooting my fingers off. I would form 1 AOW or SBR that so I could use a VFG...

This is the only place I could locate on Google that had one for sale:
Mini Draco

Now that I have seen the Mini I need one badly....

If anyone finds places they know of selling the Mini please post in here so I can add them to our ever growing list of dealers in the "Prices/Availability" thread

Looks like the front is held on by a screw that goes up into the FSB - i.e. a standard HG won't work as it doesn't use a front HG retainer.

That thing would produce hellacious fireballs.

What a hideous abomination!

I want one.

PS- If they made that in 5.45 I'd get 2.

I just caught the Draco virus a couple weeks ago and bought one, now I'm going to have to get this one too?






I'm okay with that

Uh... How about NO.

If a pistol in 5.45 is ever imported, sold, or produced in the U.S. it would get all N76 steel core 5.45 banned forever, as "steel core armor piercing handgun ammunition".

Olympic arms made an AR pistol in 7.62x39 a bit over a decade ago, and despite people screaming at them not to... and all the cheap spam-can steel core 7.62 got banned as "handgun ammo".

It's a kit, not a factory built gun, so that may save it.

Dammit. And I thought my next purchase was going to be the CMMG .22 pistol upper for my registered lower, when it came out. Looks like a change of plans. Now to just find one in stock somewhere that isn't ridonkulously priced. Get a stamp and an Ace side folder and that would be stupid cool.

Dan, that looks really good with the brake on it. It offsets the handguard nicely.
0uTkAsT  [Member]

That 74 style brake looks right at home on there!

If the cost for these gets within range of where the current ones are at, down to $400 or so, I'm definitely getting one. Why I don't know, but why not? I'd like to see one with a wood stock thrown on it.

Look at the sight radius on that thing... It could definitely benefit from some form of receiver peep or drum sight.

So what rear trunnion is on this gun? Underfolder, or not? Does the gun say Draco C, or Draco? GARY N4KVE

They do not have the underfolder trunnion in them like the Draco-c's are coming in with.

They are currently out of stock and cost $459. I spoke with a gentleman this morning and he said they ony get in 1-2 at at time and it would be 2 weeks before they get another.

The upside to this is they will accept orders and fill them as they come in.

Would be nice to get a group buy going.................

I found one at a small local gun show today for $429. I was considering it but there are a few other things I want more, and I think these will become more common and less expensive soon. The next big show here I'll probably snatch one up.

I actually saw it in Mid america but i wasn't ready to put down the dough for without checking online first. I'm glad I waited. I gave Bullseye a call yesterday and he said he would do it for $425. I'm on the waitlist now so everyone can get in line!

I'm thinking adding the ACE "entry" stock would make a great little brother SBR to the fullsize Draco SBR..

Doubt it. Just wait, UTG will make something I'm sure and it will definitely have the word "tactical" in it somewhere.

If it was black, it would look similar to a Galil handguard...

I think I'll be ordering both Draco versions eventually.

From what we know they are considering it a 7.5" barrel.

He said OAL, not barrel length. I don't know the answer either, though. I'd say it wouldn't be too far off to take the OAL of a regular Draco and subtract 4", though.

That's what I'ma thinkin... which would mean the overall length of the Mini would be only 18"!

That'd be awesome if a Krink hand guard could be made to fit!

I too love the little AK Pistols but to me 4" less barrel just wasnt enough... so I started buying Krinks.
I would have definitely bought these if they were available before this. But I have several Krink versions so no need now.

But i would love to see someone fit a Krink HG on one!

My reading comprehension went out the window when I read that.
