BADA$$!!!

Hundreds of liberals just peed themselves :)

[Dolomite_supafly]

Thanks Red, that is the forearm you sent me. It took 2 previous ones to get it right but this one is RIGHT, as in PERFECT. The forearm feels so much better like this and it cut a few ounces off the gun. The SBX will cut a few more ounces but even so I may not use it.

Heck...I think I just did.

Because of the stock, isn't this a SBR instead of a pistol?

[monkeylizard]

That's not a stock.  :)

[hipower]

Absolutely Right. According to our friends at the BATFE...this a perfectly legal accessory to your pistol.

 

It is an Arm Brace.

 

How you hold it is  a matter of personal choice, i.e. as an over the wrist unit, tucked into your arm-elbow, or higher in that area.

 

Which seems to be how most people prefer to utilize the rigid semi-structure of the Arm Brace.

What stock? :)

[Dolomite_supafly]

This is a pistol chambered in 7.62x39 that uses standard 30 round capacity magazines. And because it is a pistol I can carry it anywhere I can carry my 1911.

If it were a rifle, even SBR, I would not be able to carry it like a pistol. Matter of fact outside of my vehicle and outside of my property I would be breaking the law by carrying it if it were a rifle.

The brace lets me shoot it one handed. I can also shoulder it because there are no laws dictating how to fire a handgun.

Yep, with the release of this pistol brace, it kinda kills the SBR thing for me. Not entirely, but it sure curbs that appetite for one.

Never had a pistol bug. Since the Sig brace came out, that is changing. I have a stripped lower set back, and can feel my credit card wiggling in my back pocket :)

[JReedEsq]

My first thought is that looks sweet.

 

My second thought is please don't OC it in any of our local parks.... 

[monkeylizard]

Nah, the tip's not orange.

[Dolomite_supafly]

Nah, the tip's not orange.

 

I wonder if Cerakote sells "Airsoft orange".

[Keyless]

I really like this one and it was the one that gave me an idea on getting rid of the " Hot Dog bun " forearm. I have to say for now the mini Draco is my favorite AK . The brace has made all the difference in the world to me as well. With the folding mechanism it is perfect . This is what I wanted , so No SBR for me , for now anyway .  Thanks for the info and help .

Close. They make "safety orange"

Outstanding "handgun" Dol. :up:

 

As regards the rear sight...can you post a pic when you have time?

 

Did you have to modify the rear sight in any manner to make it fit? Or will they swap out relatively easily?

 

What are your thoughts on the ones I linked below?

 

 

Don't mean to be a PIA, but appreciate the help. :pleased:

These are all of the reasons I built an AR pistol in 5.56 with 10.5" barrel. An AK pistol is likely to be my next pistol purchase. I have also considered either a 6.5 grendel or 6.8 spc II for multipurpose handguns since they both offer good ballistics out of a shorter barrel. 6.5 then stays super sonic for quite some distance.

I think Dolomite photoshopped that whole thing.No steel AK mags look that good.  :D

LOL

 

On a serious note though, Gordon, that thing is bad ass.  Love what you did with it!

[SupaRice]

That thing is sexy... wow.

I bet that is like end the world loud! Haha my ar pistol is a 11.5" barrel and it's crazy loud, can't imagine an AK with a 7" barrel!

That's really a "stun gun" heh... They'll be deaf and blind if you miss, so double protection! Edited October 25, 2014 by SupaRice

I realyy like what you did with this especially the forearm.

 

 

Meprolite AK sights are rear windage adjustable. They have night sight inserts and are roughly the same price, I got mine for $80 on ebay. I hate AK front rights they are a pain is the ass to adjust.

[Dolomite_supafly]

Do not buy those sights. I paid $20 for mine plus $20 shipping form here:

They have detailed pictures of the sight and they are EXACTLY like in the picture. They will have a 4 digit number underneath from the gun they came off of.

 

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.

[Jamie Jackson]

Thank you Gordon. I knew you'd come through and saved me a bunch in the process! :hat:
