Afraid I don't and it is on the other side of the state right now. I will get it back in a month. The magpul front rail isn't finalized and I cut it in a way that I didn't end up really like. Biggest thing for me is left side operation of the operating handle and ability to hold zero with some laser's and stuff.

here ya go the system allows a last round bolt hold open wich took some work to a spare hammer to get working reliably. its mostly designed for pmags i put about 200 rounds through it so far with no issues and the lrbho works perfectly, drop a mag, slap a new one home hit the bolt release and boom ready to go. im thinking of using a us palm grip instead |

its the archangel op four with adjustable cheekriser. with the top rail extending to the rear tang on an angle the cheekriser sits and covers the rail on an angle so perfectly its just looks like it was made for it

If your barrel is threaded 1/2x28 there are many good flash hiders out there If you're threaded in 14x1LH, there are still quite a few good FHs available, the most effective often being 3 or 4 pronged like the Krebs or Smith Enterprise Vortex. |

the quad rail is the saiga rail i dont like the ak handguards as they dont allow me to "stretch out" when handling the rifle. with longer hand guards im able to use the rifle in a way i might need to, a longer grip for more control for longer distances or a shorter grip or even a magwell grip for quick control.

Tech-Com, it's a mag funnel. It works, but I do think it is overpriced at $47 shipped from Solar Tactical. My brother was questioning it's functionality and I challenged him to a little contest. I would let him say "Go" and we would see who could load mags into their rifle faster. I beat him 20 out of 20 attempts and he is very familiar with AKs.
Castillo, thanks. I appreciate it. |

After going to a few rifle classes, there was always one thing I would fumble on. Reloads under stress. After adding the magwell, That problem has all but gone away. Worth $47? I think so. Will I put it on all of my AK's? Doubtful. |

The ability to slam a mag in at a slight angle with no "rock and lock" is will worth it in my opinion. I did lots of reloads with it. It can impede the reload. It isn't a fail in the way that it stops working just that it is not a great tool as compared to beveled pistols and AR mag wells. Your mileage may vary of course but at the price it is not worth what it is. |
