Re: Couple of AK upgrades
That looks great! And obviously shoots quite well, too. I really do like that sight/rail you added. Gives some real versatility to the platform. Congrats!

Re: Couple of AK upgrades
It's decent - the slot is a little wider and deeper than the standard rear notch, so it helped hugely. It took 3 tries to get it centered to my satisfaction but now it's locked down.
Thank you - all of the anxiety was worthwhile in the end; I'm hugely pleased and very impressed with the US barrel.K.Mooneyham wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 11:12 pm That looks great!

Thanks! Now that I know it all works, next is the scope test for accuracy, suppressor and after that a proper park/paint job.Sniper John wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 11:43 pm I know it's an old thread, but thanks for sharing all that. Good job!

Re: Couple of AK upgrades
The KOP long rail arrived today, so that was mounted and the scope installed:
Nice to have a multi-functional system; I can't wait to try out the scope.

Very nice! Tell us how that PA 1x6 works out for you. That's one I've been looking at.

Re: Couple of AK upgrades
It's a good optic; I have that on a 10.5" .300 Blk AR and I love the reticle as well as the very generous eyebox. Of course, I'm keen to see how this performs on an AK, particularly now it seems to be an accurate one

Re: Couple of AK upgrades
Is that a rifle grenade sight folded down over the gas block?

Re: Couple of AK upgrades
Yes, the Yugos have a grenade-sight on the gas-block - it also acts as a gas shut-off. Not something I'll be using, sadly
