I'd say a good commie magazine, with metal if polymer.
Aside from that, a good sling. |

For me, the best non-accessory mods (tac light, optic, vertical grip, sling, etc.) are a better pistol grip and trigger than factory.
Are you going to provide some more info on your BHO modification. Nice photo, but no info..... |

Any pic's? i'm very interested in this I can take some, but it's hard to tell it's not stock if you will. Bought a small file set at Home Depot, used the flat small one and took a little off each side, not much at all but it sure does wonders. I'll wait till my next range trip to adjust as needed (more filing) |

The BEST thing that I put on my rifles is the Hogue AK Grip...Much better than the stock AK grip.

i just used para cord to move the sling to the correct side(i shoot lefty) of my M92. If you shoot it fast, you will begin to smell a certain unique smell that only burning 550 cord has, right before one end of your sling drops free. |

I did open up the rear sight a little with a small round file, it does make a world of a difference  I also decided against filing the front sight post!.............. good thing i didn't do it!

Accu Wedge. It makes you shoot more gooder. It's proven. With science.
Ah, crap! Wrong thread...
No seriously, for me, it has to be an aftermarket grip. The standard AK grip is too small for my giant, bear like, American man hands. I like the US Palm grip and the MFT Engage, haven't tried the Magpul grip yet. ...and +1 for the Fuller sight mod and pin retainer plates. |

So I'm relatively new to all of this, but of the few modifications that I've done on my first AK (SAR-1) I'd say that replacing the Century FCG and polishing it down real nice to smooth out the action has been real beneficial. I like the sounds of filing the front and rear sights, is there a thread on that one? My .02.

My .02. polishing the action is the first thing i do when i get a new firearm, as far as filing goes, i only did the rear sight with a small round needle file, just make sure you take equal amounts off from each side, you wouldn't think it makes a big difference but i does......BTW thanks guy's for that tip
