A super steady hand and a 6" Makita angle grinder fitted with an abrasive cutting disc made VERY short work of it.

Once you are right there insert sturdy screwdriver to crack the FSB cuts and tap off with a soft mallet. I nicked my barrel about 1/64 deep.....FAR shallower, 90% shallower than the dimples in the barrel from the factory. Took 3 minutes.

 

I am putting a FSC47 on the end, and might paint the barrel anyway. I've also considered running a long rail system that would cover the barrel. Third option is cut barrel down.

Thanks,bro.

The hardest part was strip all the crappy polish from the wood .

I did cut 1.5” from the lower handguard and about 3.5” from the upper, plus you need bracket for the lower guard and ak gas tube( I used east German), some tweeking here and there ,was done in 2-3 hours with the trigger group conversion . Took me 2 days to put the color and polish on this baby

you can see where i cut it.
