Correct. Your one of the few people on here that doesnt live and die by whats said on this board. Some people just take this stuff tooo seriously. And you actually have a sense of humor. Some people get all pissy and wanna fight. Especially when they post comments about bayonettes being upside down and get roasted about it

Perfect AKM, just the way it is right there. Adding the Kobra to my SLR-105A1R is the only thing I added, except for the Russian sling and Warsaw length stock. |

+1 I prefer the term "traditionalist". If you're going to put stuff on your "old school" AK, then at least use the correct stuff...Com-Bloc Weapon = Com-Bloc accessories... If you want to go ape-shit with AR stuff on your AK-type weapon, then use a VEPR as your platform. They don't really look all that much like an AK to start with, anyway. I'm doing a couple of Romanian "G" kit builds when I get home from "the sandbox"(98 days and counting  when I posted this)...the farthest I plan on going with those is MAYBE putting a Kobra sight on one of them.Don't get me wrong, I have a tricked-out "M-4gery Carbine-type thingy", but some things are just best kept in their original form...when it comes to AK's, I like mine "Classic". |

The one thing I've alway's liked about the Kalashnikov is that anyone can do whatever the hell they want with the damn thing. Sure, I look at some of 'em and think "Why the hell would someone do that" but then personalization is what makes it fun. I like to play around to see what works and what doesn't but I doubt I'd go through the trouble of building a Type III clone and then throw a crapco folder on it, ya gotta draw the line somewhere ...

Sorry. Not tricked-out, but a couple of AKs nonetheless. I agree with my brethren above. I'm also a traditionalist.

I think I am going to put an AR flash hider on it. My rifles are for shooting and I set them up the way I want. How ever I might just set my Vepr up that way since they are the only AKs worth while that could hit anything.

I like traditional Ak's also. My other is a SAR1 with laminate ironwood stock set and bakelite grip. As long as the thing doesn't look like it was sponsored by Tapco they are all good by me.
 Once the addition is done on my house the first priority of mine is to get an Arsenal. I need a milled Ak. They are just gorgeous. |

This was
 my AK till I traded it for an AR15 lower & a few AR accessories I wanted a plain jane AK underfolder anyway....with an ulimak rail, EoTech, RSA trigger, and ...lol....you can take the AK outta the AR guy, but you can't take the ARguy outta the AK!

PS: This will soon be converted to traditional Romanian military version:

It sure is a shame to add top of the line components to make the Ak a more user friendly and modern firearm more like what todays soldiers use. Crawl out of your caves and stand erect.

I have no problem with top of the line components, and I certainly don't have a problem with the modern AK's coming out of Poland, Russia and Bulgaria. What a lot of us have a problem with is the "Crapco" shit slung all over an AK. I have the same problem with guys doing it to an AR too. Guess I'll go crawl back into the cave.............

I have a WASR-3 with no HF. I also have a phantom FH. I'm thinking about drilling it out to 14 mm and soldering it on the barrel. But since this seems to violate AK religious beliefs I thought I'd post a photoshop (actually I had to use paintbrush for this pic) here to judge the response.

 SLR-95 Slant break from Arsenal USA. Peep sight, finger catch safety and refinish from Krebs. Index finger mag release from Red Star Arms. Side rail mount from Robinson Arms. Red dot sight from Aimpoint. Grip from Ultimak. (really the best grip on an AK I have ever used) Furniture from K-Var. |

This is about as "tricked out" as mine get. I've actually removed the flash hider and gone back to the standard AK74 brake.
 My "tricked out" SAR-1. Notice the ergo pistol grip. I'm livin' on the edge now !!!

Are those UltiMAK fore-end rails? If they are, I'm curious why you would buy those and not the gas-tube optic mount. |

My new “Truck Gun”:
(Started with a 7.62x39mm East German AK w/East German side-folder.)     Mods in order from muzzle to stock: * UltiMAK “AK Scout Mount” * Aimpoint CompML3 (4 moa dot) * Aimpoint “Standard QR “low” 30mm X-wide Picatinny Ring” (lets the Aimpoint co-witness) * KA aluminum “AK47 Tri-Rail Lower Handguard” * Surefire G2 w/Shock Isolated Bezel (can’t see it as it’s mounted to the left side of the KA) * BJB S.W.I.F.T “AK-47 Safety Lever – Notched” * TAPCO “FAL Style Pistol Grip” * Spector Gear single-point “MOUNT Sling” |

Hey Michigun, does your aimpoint get hot when you rapid fire that thing, i've heard it said that the heat radiates right through the ultimak rail and into your optic. That doesn't seem like it would be good for the Aimpoint.

as a person that has been testing UltiMAK products since they pretty much existed, I've done things to optics mounted on UltiMAK mounts that you wouldn't dream of doing. This includes shooting until snowflakes flashed into steam off EOTechs and Aimpoints. This includes firing until the gun was very hot and throwing the whole thing into a pond. Several times. The optics all lived and are still in use on UltiMAK test mules today. I really need to write this up so I can just link to it. Since I didn't own the optics, I was willing to do stuff nobody else was. Funny story: Lyle told (eotech or aimpoint) he wanted a long-term mule optic and they weren't too hot on the idea. He told them he wanted to see if it could stand up to the snow flashing to steam off it like the (aimpoint or eotech) he was testing. They shipped one right out! And the answer is yes, they both hold up just fine. |

Well, shit.... That set-up actually looks pretty good...I guess I could live with QUALITY accessories on ONE of my AK's, like what's on this AK... Still not too fond of anything Tapco(except G2 FCG's & U.S.-made Gas Piston)...I'd try to find a different grip...but if it works...who knows. What about a FAL grip? Where's the cleaning rod? What kind of accuracy are you getting with it? ETA: You need some rail covers on that Bad-Boy so you don't burn your hands!

Thanks sgtstinger! As far as the TAPCO “FAL Style Pistol Grip” goes... I wanted to give it a try seeing how it has a storage compartment (the only AK grip that I know of with this option)... wanted to be able to store a fresh set of batteries for the Surefire. I just forgot to put the cleaning rod back in before I took the pictures... it’s around somewhere here. Haven’t really tested the accuracy out yet, but there’s only so I’ll be able to do with non-magnified red-dot. I have ladder-style rail guards on the lower fore-grip currently & plan to keep it this way for 2 reasons... #1 is that the KA aluminum “AK47 Tri-Rail Lower Handguard” doesn’t actually get that hot at all (unlike the UltiMAK, which can’t be touched after two (2) 30-round mag dumps)... #2 is that I always use the mag as a vertical fore-grip so I never actually touch that part. PanzerMK7, my Aimpoint has done perfectly mounted to the UltiMAK. |
