Nice looking rig. I see it a lot here........do you ever shoot it or is this a "stock pix"?
Thanks!
I purchased this Krebs Custom AK103k about 5 years ago. I have since added the folding stock, handguard with Angled Fore Grip and the Aimpoint. The Magpul CRT stock made a huge difference in shooting comfort and shouldering the rifle compared to the fixed-length stock that came with it (I prefer a short pull length). I've used it in at least 3 IDPA carbine matches and take it out occassionally to run some rounds through it. It has never had a failure of any kind and shoots about 2.5 MOA with Barnaul FMJ ammo. I just picked up some Hornady V-Max ammo and will be giving that a try soon.
How short is that barrel with the brake? I assume the brake is pinned/welded to meet the 16" overall length? I'm thinking of doing the same thing to a '74. My only worry is cleaning the brake with it pinned in place. Any issues thus far with that?
Also, what's the range of length of pull you're getting with that Magpul stock, and did you have to modify the receiver to get the stock to fit, or is it just plug and play?
Barrel length is 16.5 inches with the brake pinned on. No problems cleaning the brake.
The range of pull on the stock is the same as when it's mounted on an AR - it's a 6-position mil-spec buffer tube. On the AK, measured from the face of the trigger to the vertical center of the butt pad; 12, 12.75, 13.25, 14, 14.75 and 15.25 inches, from fully closed to fully extended. I usually run it fully collapsed or nearly so (first 2 notches).
