I'm designing a AK PDW and thought I'd share a pic.

Love the top cover and HK style charging handle.  Is it non-reciprocating?

That's not a PDW, that's a portable, semi-auto flash-bang generator...

I wish the dog in your Avitar would steal that stock and send it to me, so I could install it on my AK PDW.

I think he's referring to the business card, but that's only if you are afiliated with them.

Nope, not affiliated with them all. I just installed the product on my prototype because I thought it would be cool.
Now if I was accused of being affiliated with kingarmory, I'd be guilty.

This is very different.

Besides that, PDW is usually used to describe an ultra-compact rifle.

How is it different?  The only thing separating this from those rifles mentioned are a non-reciprocating charging handle and HK style sights.

This is true - it's shorter. but the very idea of the "Krink" was to be a PDW for a mechanised soldier (tanker). The pistol/rifle the OP is making looks like one of those Iraqi chop jobs, that is good for scaring the shit out of the user and the recipient of the projectile with an enormous fireball that will blinb both, or whoever isn't dead, for about 5 minutes, at least.

Right.  So maybe 1.5" difference?  I'm still not seeing what makes this

from the other PDWs mentioned.


Don't get me wrong though, its still hella cool with the HK features.

I beg to differ with you.
My design doesn't look like some Iraqi chop job. (Dude, it's not ever finished yet.)
I call it a AK PDW, because it's my design and I can. If you don't like it, sorry.
The barrel is 5.75 inches long.

I slid the mockup together on the custom serial numbered receiver that Childers Guns made for me today.


If you don't like my PDW. You wouldn't like my 9mm Vityaz prototype either, because future AK PDW's will be pistol caliber. (I just made the 7.62x39 AK PDW for something to do.)

Ok Armor, when I saw the thread title I admit morbid curiosity.....but seeing your mock up, and then the pistol caliber.....I am impressed.  That pistol caliber would make one hella cool SBR.

Nice work.

Romper,
Where are you at in Iowa?

I did some more work on the AK PW yesterday.
I took a AMD65 rifle and installed the Galil selector to be able to bend my stock to the correct angles. (Not sure if I'm going to use it yet or not?)
I also riveted the trigger guard and front trunnion.

Took the AK PDW out for another round of testing after finishing the welding on it today. The rounds eject about 10 feet when fired.
It's not broke in yet, but I'll dump a few hundred rounds through it this weekend before media blast and paint.

I also need to relieve the side pressure on the right side safety selector and file the mag catch a little.
It sticks on a couple of my Yugo BHO mags. (No big deal, it's a 10 minute job.)

Very cool.

Have any cycling problems when you are not bracing the gun (i.e. firing from the hip)? I'm guessing by shortening the gas piston its less of a problem?

Prior to putting a booster on my PAP it wouldn't cycle well if you didn't apply ample force in the forward direction.

It took me around 2 month's of tinkering in my spare time to piece it together. I didn't want it to be a guide rod build, so it took me some time to figure out all the measurement to be able to make the weapon this compact and still use a standard recoil assembly.
I do have a short test video I did before painting the weapon, but can't seem to load the video here?
Go to youtube and type in AK PDW TEST FIRE #2 to see test video.
