Beautiful collection. It does suck that they're neutered, but better to have them, than not.

They're all nice. I love Yugos, period. LOL. I like the middle one though. I did the same type thing with an M70 flatside trunnion u/f build. Got tired of the folder, and took it apart. Rebuilt it as a fixed stock on a standard Romy 1mm AK Builder flat, and an M72 rear trunnion. Turned out nice, more comfortable and different.

You can never have too many Bulgy 74's. LOL. Have fun with it.

You see that on alot of homebuilds as well. People get too agressive with the cutouts in the rails for the bolt carrier to drop into, then the carrier likes to pop out. Like you've already discovered a recoil buffer is a good temp fix. Personally I would either send it to IOI for repair, or just do it yourself with a TIG rig. Just add some material back to the cutouts and file/grind to the proper shape, repair paint/bluing as necessary.

Mancat that bullpup is freaking awesome. That is a Harbor Frieght flux core welder special right there!!!!!! Whoever came up with that was a Redneck Engineering genius! LMFAO!! Made my day, thanks.

Dude, you are the luckiest man on earth, at least for today. Drool, drool, drool!!! Pics please!!!!!

My personal opinion is that the MAK90's were and still are some of the highest quality AK's out there. I like the bluing as well as the thicker receiver. I've owned many stamped and one milled MAK, and in general they were all better quality than most AK's I've seen/owned/built. My preference if they're slant cut is to weld the back into a standard straight configuration and reblue. Then you aren't limited on stocks. They really look good with the IWD designs furniture on them. Also on two of mine there was enough meat left on the barrel to thread it standard 14x1LH for a regular slant cut bra

Brother, that is one more beautiful Galil. I'd love to have a pair of twins. One 5.56x45, and one 7.62x51. While I like my Golani, and for a Century product, the fit and finish are pretty good, it isn't even in the same ballpark as yours.

Sorry, but I think I better wait on showing or sharing information about this weapon. It's something I've been designing/testing/making for Will for the last 2 years and I don't think he would want me giving out the details. Hopefully testing goes well! Check out my new Avitar. It didn't come from Russia either. Haha!!! Sweet!!! Details soon? Details? Well, not much to say. It's a lot of fun and it sure gets more than it's fare share of attention at the range. It's almost the exact same size as my MP5, but I'm starting to think it's a better weapon platform. I've sho

That is truly badass!!!! I love it!!

Nice collection Atakacorps!!! Love the M72 underfolder. That is a nice setup.

I think it's a great alternative for those that want to add a spike type to their AK, especially the MAKs. If I still had a MAK, I'd probably be in line to get one. Good job brother.

Thanks Arik. Yeah I'm all too familiar with them.

In the build process of my Romy RPK kit from Apex, on a CSS blank, and I just all of a sudden realized that this thing doesn't have a carry handle. I have Googled the crap out of it, and I can't seem to find one anywhere. Closest two items I can find are: 1) the Galil carry handle assy on Blackthorne's website for $130.00!!!!!! 2) the cheap copy that mounts onto any picatinny rail for $20.00. Neither are what I am looking for. Does anyone know where I might find one, or does anyone possiblt have one they want to get rid of??? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. TIA.

Forgot to mention that I got my RPK kit yesterday from Apex. Looks good. A bit worn, but it's trunnion is dated 1970, so that's to be expected. I cleaned and inspected everything last night. Then removed the trunnion rivets and cleaned all the holes. Gonna go ahead and headspace and install the barrel components while I'm waiting on the CSS blank. Big issue is the wood will definitely need refinishing. On most of my builds I use my own concoction for a nice "Russian Red" look, but on this one I want to get the Romy color as close to original as I can. I need to figure out what method/products

AZG, man I'm envious of the 74Ullc receiver you're getting!! I'd love to build on one, but I don't have the patience to wait on one. LOL. A local friend just recently got one of the new M70 PAP's and I was really impressed with it as well. Top cover was a bit cheesy, but other than that, it was a very nice rifle. Good fit/finish, and the stocks were beautiful. You're having the M92 built with a side folder? What type of side folder? That sounds interesting. I love the look of the underfolder, and have several, but I'm not a big fan of the ergonomics. I actually rebuilt one of my M70 u/

AZG, that's a pretty cool Kyber Pass. I've seen some nice Kyber Pass builds, and have wanted to build one for awhile, but unfortunately it's a ways down my build bucket list. I'm trying to do my builds in order of importance to my collection, which is hard sometimes. A Tula Krink was next on the list, but I have already built 4 similar in configuration to the Krink, so I decided to go the RPK route, since I don't have one in my collection. Really would have liked to go with the Yugo because I'm kinda partial to all things Yugo, but money dictated the Romy. I do kind of like the distinctive loo

I've never seen a "real" early Type 1, 2 or 3 Russian AK47, just AKM's. Hopkins is right, they'd be $20K+.

Would it fit properly with the thicker RPK style receiver? I don't know exact dimensions... The M92 is a standard 1mm receiver, not the RPK receiver, so it should work.

Well I finally broke down and bought an RPK kit from Apex and I guess I'll build it on a Cold Steel blank. AK-Builder is out of flats at the moment, and I still haven't built an inner die for my bending jig for the Yugo and Romy RPK receivers, so the CSS blank will be the quickest route. A local gun buddy stopped by my place last week, and he had both a Romy RPK and Yugo M72 RPK. After handling them, I had to build one!!!!

Uncle Jake, do those work with any AK based weapon, or just the Saiga with the original unconverted FCG? I haven't looked very closely at the kits.

Keep me in the loop Squishy and Uncle Jake. I'm still interested.

I love MAKs in general, and milled MAKs in specific, and generally recommend people pick up at least one, due to their usually excellent fit/finish/feel. Unfortunately I don't think that I would with this specific deal, unless he is willing to throw more cash your way. That MAK is worth on average about $650-$700.00. Do the math. Good luck with it either way you go.

It appears to be a standard M92, just without the underfolder. From the external looks I would bet it has the underfolder trunnion is already installed, and it just needs back drilling to open up the holes in the reciever. Of course after you get your tax stamp.

Wrongo! That's an early model steel Glock produced before the Australians started making them out of carbonated fiber to render them invisible to airport x-ray machines and scentless to sniffer dogs. Or like in Die Hard 2, Bruce Willis says "they have porcelan Glocks" when someone asks how the bad guys got guns through security and the metal detectors. I'd laugh at the absurdity if it wasn't such a serious blow to our 2nd Amendment Rights.
