[plank white]

I paid 516.94 with a 30 rnd mag and free 75 round drum :D

 

 

this is the link http://www.jgsales.com/romanian-ak-mini-draco-pistol,-7.62x39,-wood-stock-handgun.-with-free-drum-p-70142.html

 

saw a few pics of the with a sidefolding arm brace and was instantly bitten by the bug

 

I want to do something like this 

 

 

But with this ace folding adapter and SB15 brace like this 

 

 

 

Those are just pics I found on the interwebs I can't wait

Oh Lord, I want one! Maybe next year. Wife and I are rolling through our debt snowball should be good by next spring.

I think I am going to pick one up as well. I have an M85 and an M92 but like the idea of the 7.5" AK for a truck gun.

 

BTW, the bottom picture is NOT a Draco. It is a M92. You can tell by the muzzle device and the angled rear of the receiver.

yes the top one is how I want to setup the actual Pistol and the bottom pic is how i want to setup the brace! love the ace folder with sb15, the sb47 just doesnt do it for me like the brace setup in that pic.

I like the ACE pushbutton over the traditional ACE folder. I will be having an underfolder installed on my M92 as soon as I get approved.

 

And hopefully next week I will order the Draco and an RPK. The Draco will get the SBR treatment as well.

nice...I have never done nfa before ... I want to but I live right on the TN. line and I am always back and forth between tn. Georgia and even Alabama, most of my shooting goes on at my brothers home " he has a good chunk of land just over the Georgia line " and I don't want to have to raise my hand in class and ask for a permission slip to throw my stuff in the truck and go shooting , I believe if My family and I were located in middle TN. somewhere I would have probably splurged on a trust and have atleast a couple suppressors and sbrs, but as it stands if I sbr something it will be a safequeen same with a suppressor all due to my location :( . 

 

But anyways I do like the push button folders aswell but I also like how that sidefolder mechanism makes the stock sit a little higher, and I like the shaping of it better than just a square with a castle tube centered like on the pushbutton folders. 

 

Wish they made a push button folder that was formed and shaped like the one above.

 

BTW did I read RPK :) Nice, saw an RPK SBR on FB the otherday .....it was sweet

Yeah, if they made a pushbutton with an AR stock adapter I think it would be really, really popular. Something else that I think would sell like hotcakes is a traditional ACE folder made out of steel. Aluminum sucks when it is riding against itself and then they all use 6061 which is the gummiest aluminum there is. Even going to 7075 would make is 20%-30% more durable. I know 6061 is cheaper but I would pay another $20 for a hinge made out of 7075 and another $50 for an all steel hinge. 

 

As soon as I get a welder I will build my own all steel hinge. It will be similar to this except built a bit better.

:up: plus 1 on the steel hinge for shure hell with those paps and dracos a steel folder could be welded on easily and be much sturdier for something like a truckgun you will beat the hell out of regularly..

 

man oh man put me on the list if you make some steel folders ill buy for shure :D

Something else you may not have considered is welding on the castle nut itself but that would preclude you from using a decent hinge.

 

One thing I do like about the Draco is the back of the receiver is square. The PAP pistols have a receiver that has an angle at the back. It requires a custom spacer. I was able to sort my M85 out but the need for an angled spacer is why I an installing and under folding stock on the M92.

Yes I did alot...alot of googling on the ak pistols before choosing the mini draco ,saw a couple folks mention a 6 degree spacer is needed for the pap, I chose the draco min over the M92 for 2 reasons...They both have advantages, and I almost chose the pap for the sights alone but I chose the mini because

"Chrome lined barrel"

"Not much velocity change between the two " 

"I plan on using a 4 piece krink flash hider " that thing alone is like 3.5 inches and on a pap it would have made it barely shorter than a rifle.

as for sights Pap sights = much better Irons but,

I have a PA rail cover I plan to use and it wont work with the pap and I want a holosun mini rds on my ak pistol and with the parabelum it will be co-witness.

You can co-witness on a pap with a Ultimak but thats an awfull lot of heat and on a gun that I cant have a vertical fg on that didnt seem smart.

Handgaurd options are almost nill for both guns... M.I. makes one for the pap and the mini , but it isnt my fav looks wise manticore makes one for the pap but its ugly as sin. 

so since I am gonna tinker with making my own handgaurd before investing in theM.I. i figured I will go with the mini.

 

In all fairness the pap is probably a better gun and better built "Minus not having chrome lined barrel" 

but the mini fits my needs perfectly / rant .... :D

 

as for the castle nut welding on yes I have though about it but I would probably fudge ugly the job and I want a folder bad , and I think those utg folding adapters look like poo lol
