| I am thinking about modding out one of my AK's. I have WASR-10/63 and a Yugo M70B1 that are the candidates. I would really rather keep the Yugo original look and mod the WASR. But would be putting expensive furniture, accessory rails and optics on a WASR be like "putting a silk hat on a pig"? Tell me what you think and why? |

Depends on what you're planning on doing. If you had the M70 professionally finished in gunkote and bought a set of Ironwood Designs hardwood furniture you'd have an absolutely beautiful AK and worth every penny. Case in point:  (that one isn't mine) On the other hand if you're looking to go tactical, neither is particularly suited to that task. The Yugo would require Yugo-only stuff and the WASR isn't worth spending a bunch of money on to upgrade. |
Only thing i would dare add to a m70ab1 is an Ultimak. WASR-10 lets keep it cheap and functional. 1.UTG Rail 2.Tapco T6 stock 3.Grips 4.Muzzle i would use the 74 to keep cheap or Jtac for best results. 5.ForeGrip Optics = depend on what your really using it for....... I like Aimpoint and Trijicon, but they cost as much as your Rifle. Check the Budget section of the EE optics. Add a light and your good  Edit: Finish = Moly Resin Choose or mix your colors |
Excellent advice.... The Ak is Ak - it is the unTacti-"cool" rifle |
I like your thinking, the WASR is going to be the hobby gun. Not sure if I want the collapsible or a folding stock. And I think I am going to go for the Vortex Red Dot. |
