I have one of their customost build. I think I have about 3k+ rounds through it with out any issues. It handles well and it is always "wow, what kind of AK is that" at the range. I also have other AKs from the big AK gunsmith. I have one that's has bullet guide that's tapped and screwed. That broke off within 4ks rounds

Howard, Thats so funny but sad because it's the truth

And my glock doesnt know the difference between steel and brass

Yeah I used to shoot that remanu stuff. Until I got myself a squid. Compare to other remanu guys, freedom brass cases always looked so dingy.

These days actually it's not a bad price

T. Mark Geaham at Arizona ResponseSystem does excellent work

Bertus, My hats off to you. How about getting a heavy bag and hit it for awhile. Then, get a same size wooden stick as youe edc knife and practice stabbing the heavy bag. If getting a heavy bag is too costly for you, get two or three tires and link them up. It's good to have a training parter and a teacher to point out the mistakes but it looks like your time is limited. Then mind as well make your body as strong and hard as possible and learn to hit hard, at least. Best defense is offense right?

I know you are looking at ACOGs but have you considered Browe optic? I have two X3 power acog and for my x4 power optic, I am drooling over them

I see. I am most certain that I am going to get this rifle for my 5.56 need. Once you get the rifle and get the nneded mod done I would live to find out where the mods are done.

What are you plan to do about the birdcage FH? I am looking at the bullpup platform and I am really interested in Tavor

I have two of their low QD mount for my acogs. I had one for more than a year with 6000+ rounds and another 500 rounds with zero issue. Ive started out with LaRue but but for some reason it had lotta plays and was not serviceable. Same

I'm intersted in 9mm and 7.62x39

Geez, I thought my 9mos wait was bad. Next time, take a look at MarkMs work from Arizona Response System. I don't know of his wait time and he can come across eccentric but he is very nice guy and his work looks amazing.

Check out: Arizona response system Rifle dynamics They do top notch work.

Ok, first off can some one please tell me how I am going to get a non NJ compliant AK and work on it myself? Did I miss something here? I have both Arsenal and Saga and they both shoot nicely. I really don't mind the stock handguard (actually I like it more than standard ak allowing me to grab it further out ). But, not having that heat shied becomes very challenging experience after three mags ( no im not doing the hillbilly mag dump). I don't own a dremel tools nor do I have the time to tap the bullet guide and open up the mag well. For that Jersey compliant Arsenal works well.

You can get Arsenal Ak rom k var that is jersey compliant. Most of their Aka that are in stock are based on saga anyway.

I think the closes you can get with your budget would be RDS like Aimpoint H1 or R1. With new version coming out, I've seen last year models hitting the rock bottom price. As you know Aimpoint micros are near bomb proof and the battery life is like on for two years. I have heard really great things about Leatherwood 1x4 but I don't know about its toughness

Hi Devs, Check out ak-103.com. yes, you can cut the muzzle and attach the barake that is long enough to make the barrel 16 and you are GTG. It just have to be permanently attached. Check under the parts section and they have the ak100copy of the booster that is muzzle brake. Btw, im a big fan of ak 100 series and my next purchase/conversion would be ak 104:

I was not happy, to say the least, when I've learned the method of permanently adjusting the elevation. Once it was done and after 800 rounds through it, I have no complaints and happy with the unit. I know there are people who used the Bolton for many years with thousands of rounds through, the unit held up without much drama. Again, once you zeroed your AK sight, how often do you readjust? It looks like I will be doing front sight/gas block combo again in my other AK using Krebs unit in the future. Sorry to turn this thread into Bolton related and thereby hijacking the thread. I just wanted to point out that there are reasons why Russians came out with AK 103/4/5.

Sorry Bro, they are camera shy. JK I don't know when I would have time to post some pics but maybe in week or two. I will try. BTW, I've jsut spoke to Krebs customs today and they have found someone to make Gas block/front sight combo unit. I've jsut put the deposit down for one. With current version of Bolton, you cannot change the elevation so easily. - you have to file down the post until you are" right". I haven't touch my traditional AK front sight after it was zeroed and I am pretty sure I am set with my current Bolton's zero mark. But, for some that might be the deal killer. Once the Krebs unit is available, people would have one more option in the market. What can I say I m a secret fan boy of Daewoo K2.

Btw, you are welcome to come shoot with me and check it out. I normally goto RG14 or Easton PA. I've got to handle my buddy's custom built before I've dropped my mula. I was really impressed needless to say.

Vladtepes, You make total sense. The amout of weight and the length saved isn't as significant as say going from AK to M1 carbine. But, where it is being taken off tend to have greater affect. The front end becomes lighter and points better. I have practice sword art for the last 20 years and once youu handled better made sword with having a perfect balance point (aka sweet spot) the sword feels lighter and recover/follow swing is much quicker. Same goes for the baseball bats.

Btw, battlecomp makes 7.62 round feels like 5.56. Muzzle climb is significantly reduced and you are really right there for the follow up shots. I was shooting the buddys wire stock with battlecomp and man, it is a dream. I've decided to put FSC47 for the flash reduction. I am running USPALM grip on two of my AKs and I cannot not be happier. It has much more meat to hold onto and for me, much more ergonomic to shoot.

I have a custom made AK with Bolton gas block with shorten barrel with FSC47 welded on to make OV 16.25 inches. I wouldnt worry one second about the sight radius change due to shorter barrel as i have hardly notice the difference between my full length Ak. What I've noticed is the handling character . It is quicker pointing, lighter, and overall much more agile. With Ultimak/Aimpoint T1 combo, i am ringing the steel at 100 yard easy and quick. People want to increase the sight radius shoule look into TWS gen 2 dogleg cover as the rear sight is all the way back on the dust cover. In my other Ak, I have the TWS rail with ACOG riding on the top. I am most happy with TWS upgrade for its ability to mount any optics without any added weight. I have ran about 6500 rounds through without any issues so far. It had never had issues holding zero when the dust cover is moved. And, it is sexy looking mother of upgrade you can do by yourself in under one hour. With this set up, I was picking up broken pieces of clay pigeon at 80 yd and head shot at 100 easy. I wondering what I can do if I was a better shooter
