I'm a fan of AK's, and I love the look of magpul gear on them. Here is my latest build, my first AK SBR
  
-Romanian DRACO pistol (registered as an SBR) -Ultimak top rail shortened for the Draco -magpul 870 hand guard, channeled for the barrel, side relief cuts for the ultimak, aluminum rear tang insert (standard bar stock that fits the dimensions of the hand guard slot) -Carolina Shooter Supply AR style handguard bracket (doubles as a recoil lug) -magpul AK grip -ACE AR style folder -rear trunion machined and tapped to accommodate folding mechanism -Magpul CTR stock assembly |

Lol, I knew I'd get busted for lack of details

How did you attach the handguard? I channeled out the inside, he's a pic of another one I did 
Then I used the Carolina Shooter Supply AR handguard bracket to attach the front to the barrel 
For the rear I just used a piece of aluminum stock from Home Depot. 1/2"wide, 1/8"thick, it will fit tight in the hand guard slot. I angled it down a bit so when it's installed it tensions on the bottom of the receiver to keep it tight |

Looks good I like it, I would change out the brake but that is just my taste. Going modern and updated it just seems like it should have something from manitocre or a jet brake something other than the 74 brake. Again thats just my taste nice looking SBR though  I've got an SWR Specwar in NFA jail, as soon as I get it, I'll be adding a Trifecta Flash Hider to the front of this

Also, this is the link to the "CSS" (which it turns out is Carolina Shooters Supply) handguard bracket.
I hate it when people assume we know what they are talking about on forums with the abbreviations.

So for the rear connection you simply used bar stock aluminum then drill/tapped it to attach the plastic HG to it? It's just pressed into the handguard. The 1/2" x 1/8" aluminum fits in the handguard slot nice and tight. You could drill and tap the aluminum for added security though. |

mounting a can? have you had the threads checked to ensure they are concentric? I definitely plan on doing that before I use it. The can is primarily for my 308 bolt gun and 308 AR, but if the threads are good on my AK's I'll use it on those as well. Any suggestions on how to check concentricity besides using the "dowel method"? Maybe need to just send it to a gunsmith with the gauges? |

gunsmith would be the best way, a dowel should work too. Quoted:
