I have never had an AK before, and since I'm on an SBR kick I figure I would get one.
I want one in 223/5.56 (dont want to stock new calibers in the ammo fort) that takes AR mags (have plenty) and can be SBR'd with a side folding stock. The new production M85 PAP pistols around $399 seem to fit the bill. This one has the new magwell, correct? The M85NP? I know there is also a 'PV' model... I plan to get this pistol: https://www.firearmsforsale.com/product/0787450229631/a/0 Then SBR it... Then add this: http://stormwerkz.com/stock-folding-mechanisms/stock-folding-mechanism-standard/ And put a triangle skeleton-stock-thingy on that adaptor. What am I missing? ETA: Read below for suppressing questions... ETA2: Parts ordered and such ETA3: the m85 cannot be properly suppressed from the factory unless you get lucky |
|
Get the CNC Warrior side folding stock instead.
You will want the left folder, and if you are a normal sized person, get the NATO length... Mick |

Where did you get the cans for those and are they real or just for looks?
They would be great for making a clone AKS-74/UN |

So basically...I was on the right track? Nothing wrong with the M85NP as linked? I like the look of the square side folding stock, I don't much care for the tubular CNC one. Like this, but I don't know what they're called or where to get them: http://i.imgur.com/Z5Vb1.jpg?1 View Quote Those have an internal folding mechanism (authentic) installed. It's a bit harder to do (I am hesitant to do it because I'm not mechanically inclined). I like the manticore arms triangle folders. |

Manticore triangle stock - ordered
Stormwerks folding adapter - ordered Black AK 'original' grip - ordered PAP M85 pistol - ???? Any idea who has the best price right now? |

Your AFTER picture is not from a PAP. Looks like a standard AK front sight housing on a regular AK barrel.
As for concentricity, CNC Warrior seems to have zero problems mounting and aligning their faux suppressor on the rifle versions they build. Maybe have a chat with them about concentricity? Mick |

If love to supress mine but am not willing to go through the effort to do it correctly. I know a guy who put an adapter on then a spec war brake. He had a baffle strike on his first round.

View Quote That's why I want to do it right and not stack adapters on top of each other....I also don't want to use an adapter on top of the M26x1.5LH threaded cover over the barrel either because there is no guarantee it's in spec compared to the barrel's bore. |

Mick View Quote I know it's not the same barrel- it's just showing an example of what can be done if the M26 housing is removed. |

I got mine threaded 1/2-28 and added an adapter and run a 7.62 specwar. It works great.

Also did you completely machine off the M26 threaded covering around the barrel? are you using a crush washer on the barrel now or a pin in the front sight piston? |

I have an adapter on my M92 Pap and run a Huntertown Arms suppressor with no issues. Use a wooden rod to check before you shoot. If it's a no go, spend the extra cash. YMMV.

US Machinegun I'm not a fan of stacking adapters, but I found a company that was knowledgeable and willing to do the work to remove the M26 shroud around the barrel. We'll see which way I end up going. |

I saw Integral Arms threaded an M92 to 1/2x28 for use with a suppressor.

Well I don't know how I get suckered into this shit, but it happened.
Parts ordered: PAP M85 - being delivered straight to Integral Arms for barrel work. Removal of M26 threaded shroud and threading of the barrel 1/2-28 concentric to the bore Manticore triangle stock - delivered Stormwerkz hinge - delivered WildBill 5 degree wedge - in transit Custom Ops Inc/Allen Engineering reflex adapter for 1/2-28 to 1/2-28 - being produced by the man himself @ Allen Engineering Ops Inc/AE brake - will order from ADCO soon ....and $870 later I hate this hobby |

If that is the case it doesn't mean it is concentric. The video says M4-2000, which is a 5.56 suppressor. That's awesome and great to hear! Either way- I would rather be safe than sorry. It looks like you're using the M26 to 1/2-28 adapter Plus the QD brake. There is no guarantee the outer threads are concentric and there have been many reports of baffle strikes (two in this thread alone). I like my NFA investments, so I'm going to spend the cash to do it right the first time. YMMV! |

It's definitely possible to have it work but I am absolutely not going to chance it. I also don't care for the amount of play from the muzzle detent. I saw the results of a baffle strike last week and that was enough for me.

That seems quite reasonable View Quote Very much so. That quote was about par for the course from much more well known AK outfits that had timelines in the 9 month range. Plus they were willing to take delivery of the brand new M85 straight from the retailer and then ship it to my FFL, essentially saving me time, shipping, and money. |

Just went to look at mine, same here. I guess while they have it, they may as well check to see if the stock threads are concentric to the bore.

View Quote That's what I recommended while they had it in their hands...looks like there's no way to thread the barrel so IF the M26 threads are concentric I can 'get lucky' with a M26->1/2-28 adapter plus my can mount... |

What overall length are you guys using for the SBR form?
I just picked up an M92 today and plan on putting the Russian style triangle stock with Krink type muzzle brake. |

View Quote Dont count the brake unless it is permanently attached. I used 30" for my 92 and am using the Manticore triangle stock. Cant remember where I looked up that length though. |

Thanks.
Also looks like I'll be using the Manticore stock and Stormwerkz hinge as well. The newer M92 serial numbers have been moved and it now sits right where the forward stock latch would be with the original style stock. =( |

Fine for the original equipment underfolder but not a Russian side fold stock with latch. When I said original style stock I was referring to the original Russian design, not the Yugo underfolder. I wanted to build a side folder as I already have an Romanian AKM underfolder. |

Roger. You might try and find a older gun. I think the whole reason they moved the serial numbers was so people could run the underfolder
