Mine is a Romanian "Champion" (same a Draco) in 5.56. Mods include:
* Laser with thumb activated pressure pad, * Krink cone muzzle attachment, * new pistol grip with rubber sleeve, * opened up rear sight, and * sling swivel mounted on the rear. Pics:

chp5,
Your Champion looks great! Much like mine will be once I receive it. A question - not having had one of these in my hands, what is the shape of the bottom of the FSB? Looks almost like a Weaver style rail. |

chp5,
Yep, saw the mount for the flashlight. Understand about the cleaning rod cut out. Just thought the sides of the base looked flared in pics I have seen. Thanks for responding. |

My new little one. Sights are canted, oh well, optics circumvent that issue.
MI rail system, Harris BR 6-9 bipod, Brownells bipod adapter, Ergo grip, Wilson Combat buffer, Magpul rail panels, Tapco AK-74 style brake, Burris ring and optic. She is shooting roughly 1.5" at 50 yards with wolf HP, I think I can cut that in half with hand loads and more practice. The Tapco brake is incredible, probably the best $12 I have EVER spent on a firearm accessory. Eliminates muzzle rise, changes the recoil to a straight rearward love tap. Eat my shorts Thompson contender.

Nope, a bipod is perfectly legal. Think TC Contender or Ruger Charger.
It is still designed to be fired from one hand, fulfilling the ATF definition of a handgun. I don't think I would put a Grip Pod on and test the waters though...... |

If so, how much does it weigh and how wide is it relative to the receiver? Thanks, Rob |

Here are a couple of pics of my replacement Draco from Centerfire. It is now dressed in it"s "Evil Black Furniture" while I refinish the wood. CAA pistol grip, Hungarian 20 rnd mag w/VMG mag grip, ATI Strikeforce top and bottom hand guards, Tasco Pro-Point Plus Red Dot scope and slant brake. Also have a Krink-style U.S. cone brake. Next addition will be an Uncle Mike's eyehole sling swivel mounted on the rear trunnion. Will probably apply a better finish to the metal later on. May get a Primary Arms Gen-3 Micro Dot in the future. The rail (plastic) on the top hand guard allows use of the iron sights but you can't co-witness with the Red Dot scope still attached. The ATI hand guards are nice but no heat shield like in the better quality K-Var hand guards. Like most AK furniture, the ATI hand guards required a little Dremel work for a proper fit. Don't really plan to SBR my Draco but I do really like the look of the VZ 58 rear folding stock on this gun!! Maybe i'll get one and bolt it on so I can fondle it in the dark in the closet.
 Now to test fire it and sight in the Red Dot scope.

Its 2 rails- one is a shortened AMD Ultimak Gas tube and the handguard is a Ultimak Compact direct fit. Nice solid setup but it comes with a price.. and bunch of weight. Its going to be a SBR in a few weeks as that was the plan all along. As a pistol I'm not all that thrilled with it but as a SBR folder it becomes a neat comp gun and a fun range blaster.

Thanks,
which ultimak upper rail did you shorten? I thought they had one that fit natively? I assume the dremel made it that happen? Amazed, you have more in rail than you have in gun... They look great! |

They look great! Be aware that you will have to put an angle on the front of the Ultimak to match/approximate what you cut off. I considered a large drill bit, but was concerned that I wouldn't have enough "lip" on the Ultimak to fully seat, or in my ability to keep it centered. Here's what I did. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=98&t=126188 I found a 2-pack of "step drills" at Harbor Feightto re-bevel the front end of the Ultimak (I also used the M1-B). I put the Primary Arms Micro Gen 1 on it and it's got over 2k with no problems. If I remember correctly, the biggest diameter I used was 11/16", but it might have been 3/4".

here's my Chrome Draco I just finished, i really like the chrome since ALL my other guns are BLACK.
- Midwest industries quad rail - Tromix charging handle - Hogue grip - Tapco polished Ak-74 brake - polished internals & mirror finish on bolt carrier & polished the mag with an emery dremel bit (mag originally came from ClassicArms with a dull chrome finish) - Ergo Low profile rail covers

IMO, if someone were to make a faux-Krinkov rear-sight leaf that fits an AKM RSB, I think they'd sell more than a few of them... |
