Fooled ya. It's an AK! Ha!

So this is the most "custom" gun I have. Just got it back from being chopped to 14.5, the sight moved back and a Griffin Armament Taper Mount Comp installed.

This was a fully stock "sporterized" Saiga .223 when I picked it up 10 years ago. It's gone through many revisions but I think this is how it's going to stay for a while.

No, I didn't pick it up until 7pm yesterday. And this weekend is a family weekend.

I'm going to try and sneak our for a bit tomorrow.

Suddenly I want an AK. I should have bought a pallet of them 8-9 years ago when I worked at a gun store that had them for around $300 a piece.

Dare I ask how much you've put into it?

I wish I'd have gotten more too.

$200 - Stock Rifle
$200 - Rear Conversion Group & Bullet Guide.
$140 - Barrel Cut & Pin
$85 - Muzzle Device
$200 - Magpul Furniture & Sling
$160 - Side Mount
$75 - PA Red Dot.

So around $1050 as it sits.

Uhhhh..... That. Ah missed opportunities...

Can barely grab an AK for $1000 anymore it seems. Friggin rediculous.

This is definitely my favorite AK configuration that I've seen. The only thing I'd do differently is stipple conservatively on the fore end. But then, I stipple just about everything.

That's pretty sharp. I'm not a fan of AK's but that one could definitely grow on me! Nicely done!

+1 to that.

What don't you stipple? lol

I wonder how different it'd look in like plum or gray.

Every time I shoot an AK my buddies say I look like a 12yr old from a 3rd world country.[BD]

Nice! Who did the barrel work? I'm working on my Saiga as well, altho I'm going the traditional look with red wood and all that. Except the SilencerCo brake [BD]

Global Military here in MI. I'd really like to pick up a VEPR x54r and do a "traditional" sniper clone.

Lookin good, if only we would have known years ago, oh well. I agree some light stiple would be nice, maybe do your Damage logo on it somewhere.

No play at all. Very solid (claps to the barrel via a metal chasis.

Pure awesome.
Thank you, thank you.

Sexy right? Welcome to the forum!

Pyzik, you ever decide to stipple your logo in there somewhere?

No. Just the AK PMag so far. Honestly burned out on stippling at the moment.

I've been there. But only a little. Being burned out on stippling is my idea of my own personal hell. I love doing it and pushing myself to try new methods and improve my frame mods so getting to a point where I no longer want to do it is the worst.

I find that finding something new to try or improve tends to help me get psyched back up if I need it to do the work.
