there is a how to (not sure if its there or on a member (rodger) website) on modding the origional frt trunnion that would be much easier than what i did, im a bit of a perfectionist, though, and i decided id rather make one to the specs i needed rather than mod one to try to get what i needed out of an existing one.

also a good write up on the bolt/carrier modifications.

the hardest part of these builds, ive found, and then been told after i asked "why" is getting the empty to be thrown free from the receiver. takes a bit of tinkering, youll deffinatley want to test it to get it to run right before you button it all up, as there's a good chance there might be more cutting/welding/grinding, after you THINK your already done!!

After doin a bit of searching I found some good info....

The link is to a guy that did the conversion with a suomi drum.... This will be and interesting experience....

That rifle is slick.

What do you think something like that would price at?

I can't stand the sights on a normal AK.

dont know, but when i was 1/2 way through my build, i noticed that atlantic firearms started selling the , iirc, "mp-47", an ak pistol set up w/ an mp5 forearm and sights.

dont know what the price is on that, but for $200, it would make a kick ass sbr, imo.

[deth502]

haa!!

jus checked out their site, couldnt find the pistol, buti see the bastards stole my idea and are making them in 308 and 12 ga for $1k and $1200 respectivly.

and it looks like all they did was to remove the ak rear site and leave the hole open!!

I don't think I could find any AK for $200.

If I could then I may indeed purchase it on the spot if it's not a piece of garbage.
