I’ve had my AK-P for a little bit, and finally started looking at setting it up as a fighting gun. I predominately use an AR pistol as my truck gun, since ME law allows them to be loaded in a vehicle... opposed to long guns (have ME carry permit, as well as Federal L/E). I like options, especially since I will eventually have my TAC-14 AOWed, and considering a 700 CP for another pistol option.
I like the triangle brace, since it gives that Krinkov look. Not going to swap it out, even though it would make things a little easier.
I’ll probably will mount a short rail on the forend for a light; likely a TLR-1. Sight... probably will be a SIG micro red dot of some type. Had good experience so far, and for the price... I cannot complain.
But my biggest step is figuring out a sling. I’m a big fan of Magpul MS4 slings, but if I find the clip on the MS3 will attach to the OEM front loop, I might do that. I do like the ability to switch from one to two point slings. That being said, no idea on how I’m going to run the QD mount towards the rear.
First thought was to put a Picatinny mount on the rail to the rear... by the recoil assembly button. Unsure how that will mess with zero, or even if it will put too much torque on the top cover.
After that, I considered an adapter plate from Echo93. Only thing is I’d really have to consider how it will work, since the brace folds to the same side I’d want to put the sling mounting point to.
Really haven’t looked too hard at the adapter for the triangle brace, or if I’d be able to put some sort of QD point on there.
Open to any suggestions, or pictures/info of how others are running slings on their AK-Ps.
Thanks for taking a look.
