Oz, it was actually that way when I bought it off the EE, but its not that hard. Since the SAR-2 barrel is turned down quite a bit, you thread it for an AR15 flashhider and then you buy one of the adapters from Global Trades that screws on to an AR15 thread on the inner diameter and is threaded for the big commie '74 thread on the outer diameter.
See part nos. AK-607, AK-609, and AK-639 below.
www.globaltrades.com/ak_muzzl_1.htmlThe adapter is held in place with the same front sight pin that holds the brake in place. You'd like the stock, its the NATO-length one KVAR makes and tall guys like yourself really like the extra length of pull. Since I'm a short dude I can take it or leave it. Best part is, all the furniture is US made so that's three, and the trigger is a G2, so that's six, so the gun can use a true commie '74 brake and not a US made copy. Cool huh?
Optic is curtesy of Rmdye. I got the optic first and had to go shopping for a rifle to put it on since I don't do those side-mount scope rails myself. Don't you hate it when that happens?
Also finished work on a Bulgarian build yesterday for MDN. Can't help but be a picture whore, I really like how it turned out. Comin' at ya!
