Here's mine....
It'll be getting an Ultimak gas tube, and a Streamlight Polytac LED in a VLTOR off-set mount and an ACE sidefolder once I SBR it. 
Now it is wearing a US Palm pistol grip, Bulgarian lower handguard and US Made K-Var/Arsenal upper handguard and a US Made A1 style flash suppressor. |

Something old, something new.........
"Old" is a "C" that I bought last weekend. I decided to refinish the original wood rather than go with new AKM furniture. I've ordered both a wood grip (that I'll stain) and an orange plastic one that I'll choose between once I see how they look. I added the cleaning rod and will attach an old-school canvas sling as soon as Parallax gets more sling plates in stock. Obviously the Bakelite mag was an add-on as well. Just a proud poppa showing off his kids

Thanks. It was a new gun, I switched the wooden handguards for the E. German bakelite, removed the muzzle nut and put the slant cut brake on and added the sling. I like the look.

In the pic the black one looks a lot bigger but it really isn't. |

Have you shot it yet? I am curious about how bad that stock beats you up when you shoot. I have a CTR to put on mine, but have been thinking of getting a DPH instead. |

In fact I cheated for this photo and just laid the stock behind it- I haven't drilled the rear trunnion for the stock yet because I haven't permanently attached the barrel extension and brake yet (waiting on silver solder). My Draco is still a pistol. I've had a few AKs with Ace stocks, including 2 Saiga 12s. The DPH stock shouldn't be any worse on the shoulder than an Ace stock, as they both have an aluminum buttplate. Neither should be any worse than a CTR, as it doesn't have padding either. |

Looks awesome Treetop.
Aperdue, the stock doesn't beat you up any more than any other stock will. If you've got tender shoulders, they make recoil pads for them. |

Just came home with this on an impluse buy! I've been thinking about getting a Draco to SBR, but this one was a pretty good deal, so we'll see how it works out. It's an ITM reciever put together by Wise Lite Arms in Texas. gotta get some cheap ammo and mags and see how she performs!

The safety was Dragunovluv's brothers own custom modification. The last one Dragunlov posted with laminate furniture has the Krebs saftey on it. I might be getting this one as well. I like how the lower wood came out as well but it might get replaced by the Ultimak lower rail. The stock will be repaced by a CTR once it gets here. |

I wonder what his brother would charge to just make me a safety like that? I'm sure I could make something myself that would be functionally equivalent but it sure wouldn't look that pretty

You and/or your bro is slowly convincing me to switch back to my wood handguards... I don't really need a VFG anyways. Can you give me any insight on how he obtained that finish and the finish on this rifle's wood? I'd appreciate it, looks absolutely amazing.
Here's mine with the wood I just put back on it... These are the factory Romarm pieces (unfinished). I'd like to stain/burn/finish them to be more like the one above. 
Compared to the all-metal look:
I like both looks. Hell, I should just buy another Draco and make a friggin rifle out of it. |

Hell, I should just buy another Draco and make a friggin rifle out of it. The lower handguard is a Romy Laminated set in the one you chose a picture of. The one I just posted with the LH Bolt is romy standard wood (Non Laminated) Both sets he takes a propane torch to burn the wood, then applies satin minwax spray on polyurethane (It brings the grain depth and color out), no stain, just a torch and keep it moving. Heres 2 he did torching on as well but also stained them.
