I was only shooting winchester 55g XM193 and during zeroing I was able to pull off this 2” group.  I was on a beer, bbq, and buddies trip so we switched to shooting steel after that. I was hitting a reduced torso at 260m pretty easily.

I will admit, I did not like the Nx8 at 8x magnification.  The image clarity, tight eye box, and size of the reticle at 8x was not optimal. I felt most comfortable at 4-5x

I plan on taking it back out with some 77gr and see what I can squeeze out of it.



The real star of the show was this 107FR I put together. Talk about a blast to shoot! I think it just became my favorite AK.





Both together:

This one took a while.... Zenitco RPK isn't easy to come by these days.

I went full spacetard on the Galil Ace. Might cut the front of this carry handle down to give space for BUIS.

I would have to agree. My AK12K is pretty consistent

That is a fantastic photo you took. The color is superb

I'm having a tough time between 1P87 and Kashtan 1P. I definitely like 1P87 as an optic but I am not a fan of the Jupiter JSC magnifer tbh (which is why I have a G33 in this photo), but 1P87 itself and the Novus clones are legit

I jigged up a Zenitco white light and have the Perst 3 mounted sidewise on an RS Regulate BM-1 barrel clamp. I probably wouldn't go to war with the Klesch white light, but for a training gun this setup is ok

If I were to be assaulted by Antifa in a fictional world and needed to defend myself I'd probably have a modlite instead like my AK105. This particular setup with the crapp ZenitCo pressure switches solves the less than stellar design of the Izhmash AK12 polymer HGs. I prefer the laser on the gas tube but it's just not practical on the AK12 with the current HGs (unless you want 4 to 6 MOA shift and a slap to return to zero experience )






AK105 is peak AK74 for me, but I'm totally loving the AK12K as well


Kinda toying with a Saiga 223 / AK101 with the SureShot USA Mk3 chassis, and some US accessories

Best looking AK I’ve seen in a long time.

I no longer have this I sold it 10 years ago but I bet it's still out there...

super "bubba" job on a WASR I picked up for $145 back in the day...  cut and welded front sight to gas block, used an actual Galil handguard and modified it to fit, cut the charging handle and welded it to the left side, cut the mag release and welded on one of my own design that could be operated with the trigger finger without losing grip...mags dropped free. welded a butler creek 10/22 folding stock to the rear.  defiantly NON traditional stuff here...

There is stuff mounted to this 105

(eta, because Nictra called me out over IM for not including details )


Kashtan 1P civilian optic, Perst 3, Modlite light, Vox K suppressor, AK12 telescoping stock with AK74M3 latch kit, Modlite buttons for the light and one spliced into the Perst 3 connector, B33 top cover, Ultimak gas tube, B10U lower HG and a ZenitCo handstop, along with an SRVV 3 point sling I chopped up into a 2 point sling

That handguard is so rare (super early/prototype MAR handguard). I've been looking for one for years. That makes me sick to see, lol.

well all I know is I bought it many years ago at a gunshow for $3.... I did not modify it to fit the rifle I modified the rifle... so in theory it may still be intact and out there!

Seems like BelOMO understands clip-on thermal height

AK12K with BelOMO COD2M combined optic, which is basically a PO 4x17 and an RS-M red dot together, with kind of an Elcan elevation system. The interesting part is that the Voodoo-S sits exactly right for the 4x magnification, and you get that useful PO 4x17 range finder and BDC



eta: @atravis11b Don't shame me for my lack of 3rd bump rivet on the AK12 receiver. I bought it as a complete rifle to be a beat down rode hard hung up wet shooter, not a collector piece

I would never shame you! Not even if you preferred super high mounted ACOGs on your SVD/AKs!  ;)

That optic is super cool, I’ve never seen one of
those!  How does one acquire one? Will you have a write up on it?

I’ve been a ghost lately…. I was hoping to be able to shoot with you guys once I got back CONUS, but I’ve been down south for the last couple months chasing guys in AZ, NM, and TX.  I’m not scheduled to be back in Colorado until November timeframe…. right back into winter :)

Hopefully we can get together, I’d really like to shoot that thing!

Home build Krink, Recreator 80% receiver, FSB and handguard  retainer. Bulgarian barrel and hinge block. WBP bolt, carrier and trunnion. The rest is a mix of stuff from the parts box. I used stencils and electro etched the serial number and caliber, I'm really pleased with how the etching came out.

I just actually have to be at home for any length of time!


Here's some pictures I took before I left so I can actually add to this thread.

Giving the JMAC stuff a try on this 106F.  Feels very solid but trying to figure out some of the aesthetic details. I keep going back and forth on gas tube rail.



Arsenal 106CR looking like it may have come out of Syria.  I shot a couple times with the Elcan, but ended up switching it back to an aimpoint T1.



Arsenal 107FR with all the zenitco love and a stash of Izhevsk marked 103 slabsides.



Another 106F with all of the zenitco.  I love the look and feel of this gun but it shoots ~4 MOA no matter what I do :|



Arsenal 104FR with some weirdness going on.  I love the hex handguards and was giving the ACR stock a try.  It might just be too western to stay on any of my AK's.

What length did you cut the barrel down to on your AK12?

12" or so. I wasn't going AK12K clone correct for the muzzle device, so the main concern was to give about a half inch clearance between the gas tube plug and the suppressor QD mount

Updated the M85 with a new open emitter with huge FOV called the Vector SCRD-79. Liking it so far. Also a scout light and foregrip up front.
