THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT This setup with an empty mag is 9.0lbs 14.0oz Decided to go with the Ultimak top rail and micro dot. I have a Russian PK-AS which is probably the nicest Russian sight I have used, but it's about a pound heavier and very high/ awkward cheek weld. Plus can't co-witness the regular sights.

Good looking set-up. Add a light and you're all set.

Yeah I like mine (bought when it was cheap and regret not getting a 5.45 also), it's all stock as you can see and heavy as a mofo
I'd like to at least do the ACE stock conversion and shorten the LOP  |

Should have added " Nice looking setup "
I'd like to know: Is the ACE Buttpad soft ? Does it do a good job af absorbing recoil or is it hard ? |

I approve of the Ultimax / T1/H1 setup
 On a Arsenal SA M7 Carbine
I also approve of the Vepr K Here is one from 04

The ace pad is rubbery and soft, they also have a thicker one. The VEPR is so heavy the recoil is very light. I also use a cut down recoil buffer insert.

Before UltiMAK shipped the lower rail farm, they sold milled fore ends from Robinson that let you keep the original look while mounting the gas tube mount. I don't think they've manufactured them for many years. |

Very nice. Can you talk about the under fore grip? I guess its an Ultimak but would like to be sure. Also, I understand the Ace Vepr stock requires cutting the tang. How strong is the stock attachment with the tang cut?

Yes both rails are Ultimak. The top rail was purchased a couple weeks ago and the lower rail about a year ago both shipped from Ultimak. I added the 2 front bolts on the lower rail. Ulimak shipped the lower rail with top over brackets for other types of AKs. I took one of the top over brackets and cut a curve out to fit under the gas tube then used the factory threads in the lower rail that were already there. This makes the lower rail rock solid, top rail is also very solid.
The Ace stock block is rock solid, but yes you do have to cut the tang which affects the orignal value of the gun. I could not stand the factory VEPR stock so went ahead with it. The only thing I did different was mount the stock folding to the right side and angle the Ace stock base so the bolt can clear the folded stock and fire when closed. |
