| Can you convert a pump ak into a semi automatic? I see that century has those pump .223 ak's with 5 mags for 150$ , and was wondering if, and how you could convert it to a semi automatic form? I guess they are high capacity to correct?? Thanks guys |
| I'd say totally take it off, put on a barrel/gas tube/handguard etc from a parts kit and either rivet on a new trunnion or press the barrel into the existing trunnion if possible. If it were me, I wouldn't try drilling the gas port or anythng like that, I'd try to do a clean job by replacing the barrel and other parts and then it would be a regular stamped receiver AK. |

I believe that there is no gashole drilled in the barrel. If that is the case finding a .223 barrel and all of the other parts would get expensive, assuming you could find one. If the gas hole is in the barrel then I would imagine that parts from a 5.45 kit should work to restore the gun to it's proper config. This could be a good way to get a hard to find SAR3 type rifle. |
