We need a pic thread dedicated to less traditional looking AKs

That's a lot of work to get an AK to be like an AR.

Only difference is this one is throwing 2x the lead with each squeeze.

I agree.

maybe, but it's a 7.62

Most have seen it by now, but I'm a whore so here it is again....you asked for it.

Mmmmmmm at the above

I will never understand M4 stocks on rifles without a buffer tube. I have one on an AR and it makes sense there, but not on an AK when you could have had a folder.

 

All pictures of Tacticool AK's must include the Weight of the weapon with unloaded 30-round mag.

It is a cool rifle.  Enhanced sights and adds a light without going all Tapco.

The M4 stock is a decent design as it allows for different length of pull and shortening the rifle for carry in vehicles using off-the-shelf technology and parts.  Also an AR trained troop doesn't have to relearn how to adjust his stock.  Not the most aesthetic way of doing it though, and I have to agree that with no buffer assembly in the tube if could have probably been done better.

In the end the stock works, and that's all that really matters.

The same should be asked of the traditional rigs.

More than my BCM 14.5'' AR with a loaded mag and Aimpoint ml3.

Seeing as how I don't care for side & under folders an any rifle, going with the receiver tube extension was an easy choice for me.
Cheek weld is excellent, I have a recoil pad and the LOP is adjustable... it all makes perfect sense on my AK

Where's the grenade launcher?

Not to too tactical.... but its getting there.

Krebs KTR



Krebs Saiga conversion

I wanna play

Crap, I didn't see this thread earlier! Hopefully mine gets erased in favor of this one.

No worries!

It's all good.



Love the drum

lol Give me a break

Where do you guys come up with this hoohaa?

oh dear lord i'm in love..........

Whoa...how is that buffer tube attached in there? Pretty big changes to this milled AK.

It does take a good brain to utilize AR like accessories on the AKM, but thank god none
of these changes make the AKM like an AR... that would be a less than acceptable result.

There's no way a person can own both and honestly feel this way.

I don't currently own an AR, but I have owned many over the years and someday I may get another.
The Colt 6720 looks like a winner.


Yes, their is a world of difference between the 7.62 AKM and the 5.56 AR, but innovation and the use of AR type
accessories make it possible for the AK owner to correct some shortcomings AK owners may have faced.
This is good even if some think they end up looking like the AR.

I know some think my modernized M14s resemble an AR visually, but I assure you the AR is no M14.

Don't knock it until you try it

My SAR-1 in it's current configuration...

Dayum!!! That is nice!

Thanks, She shoots even better... I'm about to test her out some some hogs in my area

What optic is that on there?

Now that takes the win for uber tactical AK.





How about detail on your mods?




 
 

Well...if yer gonna twist my arm.  Maybe I'll make it useful and include my opinions on the items I chose.  I put it together a couple of years ago, I'd make some different choices now.

Lancaster Romy G-kit from Atlantic.  It came with the side folder shown, and K-Var style poly furniture

Added:

UTG quad rail ––  not a fan of UTG but it's a solid rail, no wiggles/easy to install ––  sucks not being able to remove the gas tube easily, and it's heavy –– plan on replacing with something lighter, don't need THAT much rail space

"Beryl style" top rail from DPH –– older model, lightweight and solid  ––  requires bolt @ rear tang to remove for dust cover access, sits higher than I'd like, no more iron sights ––  get the newer "dogleg" version w/ quick release & rear peep sight.

Green laser from Firefield ––  inexpensive (+-$50) impulse purchase, actually pretty cool, holds zero, daytime (bright, FL sun) visible to 25 yds+, cloudy day = 100 yds. –– bigger/heavier than I'd like –– if you MUST have a laser, it works, for cheap.

ATN Ultra red dot ––  has 1 m.o.a. dot and "EOTech style" circle/dot reticles that I like, holds zero, lightweight, and open field of view –– not bad for a cheapo (+-$100) but battery cover has to be tighted "just right" for it to work reliably

CAA folding VFG ––  solid and functional, has battery storage, I got the 5-position version and modified it to 3-position, folds forward for flat benchrest-shooting platform (),  short enough for 30 rnd mags to go in easily. –– it is what it is

CAA adjustable light mount ––  it works ok, but it's big and ugly and I don't like it –– I plan on getting a Daniel Defense offset light mount, or maybe a Larue light/laser combo mount –– not sure yet..

Surefire 6P LED Defender light –– it's a Surefire, it's badass –– a little heavy but I like it, will light up my whole back yard, even behind that bush way back in the corner –– must be able to identify intruder as a "bad-guy" before you shoot

Pistol grip is Israeli made from CTD –– VERY comfortable to shoot, lots of storage –– I recommend

K-Var compensator #AK-351 –– chrome lined, effective, still allows you to attach your bayonet –– not sure how much flash it hides, haven't shot at night since i got it, but no fireball like the slant break would throw up –– I recommend

G-2 trigger  ––  de-burred & polished to a mirror finish and moly-lubed ––  very light, very fast, very crisp (for an AK)  –– I like it a lot

What color / brand Paint is that ? ( the tan / brown I'm referring to )

Mine wants to be an AR!
Saiga .223 with AR magwell conversion, bottom picture is its current configuration with folding AR stock and sig stl-100 stop light and its big brother
Have the AR grip adapter but liked the look of the AK grips better..
Has an AR rear peep sight as well

Impressive first post.  Two great looking weapons.

OK here are some better pics.

That right there is a nice ride mate!  Treat her right!

I am confused, angered, and intrigued by this rifle.

Saiga + conversion + mag adapter = AK-15 ?

Matt
Great looking rifle, what brands are the p. grip, rail and flashider?
Thanks
