Between getting the transferable gun, sourcing the parts, transfer times, and build times, this AK has been an almost 3 year project, and I’m glad that I finally have it back! In the end I can happily say that it was worth it.
This video explains the build in reasonable detail, and I have plenty of shooting in it too.
Pretty nice gun!
The only place I’ve ever seen that lower handguard before is on an airsoft website. They must have gotten the pattern from the original gun.
You suck. 
But seriously nice AK.
Congrats! Always feels great to finish a long in the works build. I’ll bet it feels even better for you on this build. Well done!
Nice job, and kudos. I enjoyed your video. You had that recoil really well controlled during the long bursts. Fun times.
Nice project but we gotta talk about the flip flops.
How well does the front thumb-hole handgrip work?
I like it. I use it like a normal hand guard with the stock open. If the stock is closed you put your thumb in there and shoot it from the hip “tommy gun style.”
When I’m training my attire is a little different. When I shoot for fun and it’s 100 degrees, flip flops it is. I’m from Kauai, Hawaii man…it’s in my blood.
Thanks. It kicks the most out of all of my machine guns that’s for sure which is weird. I’m so use to shooting guns, that it’s easy to handle for me though. Proper stance etc is always key with any gun…especially with full auto.
Very cool build.
amazing! that thing has a rate reducer im assuming?
Yes it does
