| Who does the best work in the state or should I send it out ? Looking to SBR my Arsenal SLR105, have the parts and will be doing the tax stamp paperwork this week. Is it better to get a shorter barrel or just have it cut down ? Also this can't be put in my Trust if I recall ? |
Plan on going 10 to 12 1/2 inches to make it a AK 105 Bulgarian clone.

There is a member here that is quite knowledgeable on the ak platform and builds , I am sure he will chime in if he is available- I used a well known builder which became a real pain in the ass- won't recommend him! Hardest part is pressing in the barrel |

Do you have the AK with the 16.1" barrel and fake flash hider to be non NFA or do you have a pinned break?
NUcadet07 knows AKs but I think is stupid busy, Matt from My Guns in Oregon does all my work, 4 to 6 week turn around too, does everything except refinishing. For that talk to NUcadet, his specialty. If you want a short AK I have a pre ban Krink I need gone, IM me. |

| I'm not set up for shortening barrels but I can replace them, populate barrels etc... I am very busy at the moment but depending on what you need done I may be able to help. Shoot me an email at [email protected] and we can discuss it. My shop is in north Branford, we are an SOT so the SBR work isn't an issue, |

I have a Polish Mini-Beryl on a Norinco 56s receiver I'd be willing to sell if there is an interested party. Currently has 16" barrel for easy transfer. 
ETA: Not sure about local builder, but I have heard good things about NUcadet if he has the time. That I'd love to see! I haven't seen one of those since Afghanistan! |

It needs a form 1 so bad. http://i1310.photobucket.com/albums/s658/Johnsmyname/1_zpsh7ruhgqv.jpg If I keep it and sbr I was thinking about newer style backbone rail, butt stock and k-grip, but I might sell it to fund other projects . 
Form 1, plz. That's neat though, who did that work? Are those like the 7" 5.45 barrels and completely different than a 16"? I know shops who have just cut down a regular 16" barrel for a Krink regret it because the rifling is totally wrong and they keyhole bad. Too many places have taken shortcuts with the 5.45 guns and given the caliber a bad rep. |

From what I have read people have cut down 16 barrels with no issues at all but you have to have someone do the work that knows what they are doing. I have been searching for a 12.5 barrel in 5.45 for a long time  Is this the one that is just a short profile in front of the gas block? If so then, yeah, I can help with you. Those just need a cut and crown, reprofiling is where I can't help though. Otherwise you, Sardo, and Nutter can fight over the AK105 barrel I've got lol. |

I cut down my Bulgarian 16" to 10.5" shortened the gas tube and piston. Used a combo sight/gas block from Kvar. It runs well. No key holing noticed.
I think when people try to go full Krink style at 8" or 8.5" the twist rate gets to be more problematic. Protip for the DIY'r : Pin the gas/sight block if you test fire with a muzzle device or prepare to retrieve it from beyond the firing line. 
ETA: I did also have to turn the barrel down to fit the FSB. And 10.5" was as short as I could go while keeping the standard hand guards. I still had to trim a little off the release lever. |
