I finished my Mini Draco SBR this weekend after a 5 1/2 month wait for my stamp. When i sent it out to get engraved,  the engraver accidently messed up the finish when attempting to blacken the area he engraved. He used manganese parkerizing to refinish it and it turned out very nice, but was too gray. So I had it refinished over with satin black Gun Kote and I am very happy with the finish. It may be the best finish of any AK I have. I was not happy when it happened, but am now because of the end result. These phone camera pictures do not do the finish justice and make it look more gray and dull than it is.

I added an Ace folding mechanism with integrated AR adapter, a BCM buffer tube, a Magpul CTR stock, a MI Mini forend rail, Magpul ladder rail covers,  a Noveske endplate with integrated QD, a KAC handstop with integrated QD, KAC QD sling swivels, a Russian pistol grip, Tapco G2 trigger group, and a Tapco slant brake.

I have never been big on tacticool AKs. After I saw Gardner's awesome work , I had to build one with an Ace and CTR. The Ace folder locks up nice and solid and opens easily. My next project will probably be adding a Romanian underfolder to my Draco C.

Should have done the underfolder on the mini and the side folder on the draco :) Looks good though, might want to try a US palm grip too, they fill my hand better but YMMV.
My stamp for my Draco should be here in the next month or so.

That is beautiful! Never thought i would like an AR stock on an ak but that looks sweet! If you wanted to could you make the stock fold to the right instead of lef?

Thanks for the comments guys!

Zero00- the Ace with integrated AR15 adapter only folds to the left.
