She's a beauty bud, I can't wait to put it through its paces! Actually, I can't wait for mine to show up! These are definitely a step up from your "rape-shed" photos.

So...You DON'T like the rape shed? I thought it had a certain....Je ne sais quoi? to it.

Midwest Industries Gen2 SS Handguard...going for the skinny rail now...

WE AKs-74. Real steel plum handguards and pistol grip, RA-tech internals. All credit and a lot of thanks go to Latvian for acquiring and assembling!

Nice to see some AK's. That's a definite to do for me.

My newest addition to the family. :)

How did you fit the folding stock? You've bought a WE AKS74U and frankestein'd it?

Racing stop posting your AR builds you make me spend more lol

But seriously sweet rifle, who makes that RIS.

Midwest Industries. Its very similar in design with the Troy one, but I am not sure why I like how it looks more than the Troy one. Its also a bit cheaper...

The only time you'll need to channel the good dr. Frankenstein is when you're putting on the gas tube. The AKM and AK74 have similar receivers and a high degree of parts compatibility, so you're really just punching out pins and then hammering them back in again. I didn't do any of the work myself though, Latvian had already put the gun up for sale in the classifieds, and I contracted him to acquire the soviet parts and to replace the WE railed gas tube with a part from LCT. So if you want the dirty details I would PM him. His response times and quality of work are superb and I highly recommend him.

- Blue Force Gear Vickers Padded Sling (Foliage Green)

Nice....I should have you paint my gun...lol

Do you like using a vertical grip with AKs? With RVG at least I find them to be kinda in the way for the curvy -47 style mag...

No prob - next time your in town, bring one of your builds and I will paint it.

In regard to the vertical grip on the AK - I find the stubby works great, but it has to be positioned far enough forward so there is no trouble with mag changes.

I use the vert grip more of a hand stop/reference point. I also removed the bottom screw cap of the stubby grip to make it even shorter.
