So which ever one i get will be a SBR once the paper work is approved. Kinda leaning towards the mini as i like the idea of fitting this in a small bag once i get a folding stock. Any reason i should go with the draco instead? |

I went full sized draco so that I could take advantage a number of handguard options. No regrets. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l318/Longhunter-CO/DracoSBR.jpg Ahhhhh, LonghunterCO........your Draco was the inspiration for getting my SBR. I love that pic for some reason. I keep going back and forth between the same furniture and a Zhukov stock and Poly HG's on mine. |
| Went with a pair of the standard Dracos myself. One will get a fixed stock rear trunnion and be dressed up in Russian plum. Same seller has another batch of plum sets for sale that include the mustard sling and no pistol grip. Standard AKM furniture compatibility was a big factor in why I chose the bigger Draco. That and long-assed arms. |

I made mine an underfolder and love it but love the historical appropriateness of this one ^^^ well done. I like the full size... it is plenty compact. I trust it more than i do the mini and it can use standard handguards. My stamp has cleared so I'm just waiting to get it back from JBI... hopefully within a month. I also don't think the mini was ever an military issued weapon while the full size was. Don't take that as gospel... someone correct me if i'm wrong because I read that somewhere. |

I think the Standard Draco is a bit more functional. Has somewhat more standard AK/AKM parts, does not need the filler block in the receiver etc. to keep the shorter piston on the BCG in the piston tube etc.
However, unless there's a full length non-NFA AK/AKM sitting next to it... it does not look very "SBR" at all. If you want it to look SBR, and are going for something more in the range-toy side of things, I would go for the Mini too. Here's mine, done up with K-Var plum furniture, Midwest Industries micro optics mount, SLR Rifleworks brake, and ACE folder. Using a Hungarian 20 round "Tanker" magazine.

I agree, from a "handy" standpoint the 20's are awesome. However, I am somewhat partial to the semi-ridiculous 40-rounder magazines, if only because it makes the Draco look a bit more SBR-ish, if you let your eyes assume it's a standard 30 round magazine.

Lets not forget the full-ridiculous 75-rounder magazines

My Mini Draco. http://<a href=http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y472/kcrayj/2015-10/9765D1EF-E05A-4C05-A542-8394D7BA5386_zpsxfykrdku.jpg</a>" /> Nice stock! But could use more Manticore forend.

| standard Draco seems barely shorter than a standard underfolder, since I already had an underfolder, it was mini for me. However, it does seem more finnicky. With an SDN6 installed, some of my mags failed to perform although they ran great on regular 16" guns. Turns out the magazines had some dents and/or weak springs and couldnt keep up. |
