  1. 1) Planned. I have a thread for about half the work on this one already, and was going to cross link link in the thread you posted in too.

     

    2) Actually it is. I the lower tang is actually countersunk for flush fit #10 machine screws, but I accidentally bought button head, so I used them for now. I will change them out and paint the ferule after I stain the wood.

  2. That's a place holder. I fabbed the grip out of 3/4"aluminum plate. I plan to drill it a bunch and then contour it, but at my house I only have a hand drill. So I taped the grips on there so that the 'square' edges don't dig into my hands for now.

     

    15 minutes with a drill press and a few more with a belt sander should make it ready for public inspection.

  3. I've been meaning to do this for a while now. Although I will probably only hack up the keep shoting 5, and keep the Izzy mags standard for the other gun.

     

    Apparently you can melt on plastic shavings to build up magazines for a more permanent fusion. That factory take off stock is a good source.

  4. Not sure if that is a complement, an insult or both??

     

    It would certainly make more sense to just buy one. I am just pretty cash poor, so if it isn't in the budget it doesn't happen. I have been getting pretty tired of waiting to have this gun "done" so I am doing the parts I can from my apartment. So far shavings are vacuuming up alright.

  5. Me too I hate the look and don't care for the feel. The plan is to make one out of beech wood stained to match. I will probably shape it somewhat like the Molot wood PG. However I have kicked around a few other shapes. The classic AK laminate handle is even worse than the Saw IMO.

     

    It is a matter of finding wood and time. I need the part for compliance, and got this in trade. Doing this build was preconditioned on keeping inside a very strict budget. I am presently in Lawschool and living on loans that I want to be payed off ASAP. That requires some boring self control.
