Seems they cut down the barrel, added a poor 74 brake copy and slapped $140 unto the price.
IMO, until you refinish a Romy, it's never going to be that impressive no matter what you do to the barrel. |

yeah...can't be a hexxe. they got the correct end of the brake facing forward.
basic wasr: $139 (wholesale) add bulgy furniture: $75 chop bbl. and weld on brake: $75 (1 hour labor, $20 brake and a $1 hacksaw blade. hopefully, they re-crowned it prior to welding the brake on). open mag well: $10 add usa fire control group: $20 park job: $25 (done in lots of 25 rifles) reassembly and packaging: $10 that's about $334 invested to make $105 max. sounds about right to me. |

well...we DID say the brake was facing the correct direction AND that it was not angled enough to be a hexxe! heheheheh! well, at least we know you took the time to recrown them. |

If rapid fire did it then it is surely a bargain! Remember you are getting a Park Job!

Considering the SAR AKs are beginning to dry up....I would take one.....
Remember, you can never have enough AKs. KF |

Sorry Mike, But it is a lousy picture...and I didnt know you did that kind of work for the bigger distrubuters...Since it is a ORF conversion I wouldnt think twice bout buying one..
Since we are on the subject, Did you guys do the Bulgy 74s for Atlantic as well? |

One important thing to remember here also my friends.
With a Rapid Fire built rifle, YOU WILL GET CUSTOMER SERVICE in the unlikely event that your rifle has a problem. No answering service, no run around, and you will get to talk to the person who ACTUALLY BUILDS THE RIFLES. Come up with a way to easily and economically cut down the cleaning rods to fit the rifle and let Rapid Fire know about it, and you will see them with the rifles. Chuck |

No, that pic of the 74 belongs to the one and only Hesse Arms. Ask me how I know!

probably forgot to put it in when they took the picture....although, I can't tell if it's just the way they cropped the picture, or if they actually cut the lug complete off where the rod slide through. in any case, if you ever tried to put acleaning rod in with that 74 break on, you'll know it isn't quite as easy as putting one with a slant break. |

The cleaning rod lugs were removed because the rod has to have a couple inches cut off, rendering it useless. I don't recall building any 74's for them.

Looks decent 2 me, but why does everyone insist on using that poorly copied AK brake? For like $20 more you could probably get a batch of 2-piece Bulgi copies without the threads from Chris @ AK-USA (I'm assuming those are welded on).
take care, Tec |
