Show me your AK

p.s. for all interested parties flintoid's type III did not blow up when he fired it. this was fortunate for me because i was standing next to him. i paid close attention for the first round but after that i figured it would be good to go. [laugh]
 
ah, the unholy fusion of east and west--an AK in .223. me rikey. [mg]

I loved the ak74 in 5.45 but my goal for 2012 was to consolidate all shtf/carry firearms into a minimal number of catagories ( .38spcl 9mm pistol and .223 for rifle ) That little Norinco fit the bill perfectly and complements the AR's it sits well nicely

Highly recomended

exhibit A to our top: this extremely rare specimen of a Polytech is the result of an unholy matrimony between a conservative red blooded gun owner living in a non-sunsetting-AWB-Police-State.

Please tell me you didn't throw away the original hardware. That's like a kick to the balls.

No one can hate you for what you did- you're doing things as good as you can right now in the state where you live in order to get what you want: a good shooting chinese AK with a flash hider, pistol grip, and folding stock.

I still have the ordinal hardware. But, really your post is spot on, if I could have bought a new AK with the features I want, I would have left this old girl alone :(

But for me, a red dot, a flash suppressor, and a flashlight are musts on a defensive carbine. However, I hope this softens the blow - it's not a legend, it's a AKS - much. much less rare and not as nice.
 
That depends on how far hes willing to go. I still haven't removed/reworked my front sight block for threading the muzzle.[sad]

Bingo! I'm going to install a rsa trigger and do some kind of furniture swap but I really want to put a brake on it down the road. I just want something fun to shoot that looks a little bit unique

If you're going to do a handguard swap make sure you go with the handguard retainer Dinzag sells. Its pricey but is specifically made to fit the larger diameter barrel of the Saiga 308. Same goes for the gas tube and handguards. Because of the size difference you have to Dremel out some material from standard K-Var lower handguards to get them to fit.

Then you end up with this:
