Boba Debt 350 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I spent a couple hours reverting a CIA Bull Pup back to a standard AK but I did something that makes it kind of unique You probably won't see it on any other AK. Can anyone figure it out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Superhawk138 202 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 No sights plus you left the barrel shroud on. I like it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boba Debt 350 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 The rear sight block? Close. By the more correct answer is the reason I removed the rear sight block. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Mark 2,452 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 The rear sight block? Close. By the more correct answer is the reason I removed the rear sight block. Because you can't help but over complicating a beautifully simple design? 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigsal 757 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) You added some kind of left handed charging handle to this abortion??? cant tell from the picture. I say cast this unto the fires where it belongs!!! Edited October 26, 2010 by bigsal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I say cast this unto the fires where it belongs!!! Dunno about a charging handle, cant tell. Looks like it still has a barrel shroud judging by the difference in size of the barrel and some kind of funky rail up top. Is it "special needs"?

I say cast this unto the fires where it belongs!!! I can't see a left side charging handle... I think he's refering to the added rail on top of the dust cover so you can slit your left wrist while reaching over to charge the weapon.

Boba Debt 350 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) Ok, enough with the smart ass answers I removed the rear sight so that I could reverse the top of the UTG Quad Rail. I'm going to replace the rear cover rail with this to create an AK Flat Top so I can install a Primary Arms Red Dot with some BUIS Edited October 26, 2010 by Boba Debt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paulyski 2,227 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Ok, enough with the smart ass answers Sorry... Just had to... It was the first thing that popped in my mind when I saw that edge at the rear. I removed the rear sight so that I could reverse the top of the UTG Quad Rail. I'm going to replace the rear cover rail with this to create an AK Flat Top so I can install a Primary Arms Red Dot with some BUIS That'd work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrGonZo 157 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I think it'll look pretty cool when its done. I never really liked the traditional AK sights. Ive always wanted an AK with FSB/GB and a H&K rear sight on the dust cover. Keep it up man, You're giving the AK a little bit of flavor that some of these crotchity old guys can't handle.

That rail from CSS you plan to mount... Doesn't it mount in front to the rear sight leaf pivot mount? What, you plan on "Rube Goldberg"ing that too? Good idea, admittedly... I just don't know about this option. I think I'd weld a rail on the dust cover before I went the route you intend to. This platform just doesn't lend itself to BUIS in a "conventional" sense, no matter what you do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This platform just doesn't lend itself to BUIS in a "conventional" sense, no matter what you do. It's hard to tell, but I think he just removed the rear sight leaf, leaving the front sight leaf holes that that rail installs to in tact... However, he'll have to shorten the rail above the RSB to make the hinged rail swing up. Something that might be interesting, would be to modify the front channel that accepts the dust cover a touch, modify the rear of that rail that attaches to the sight leaf's holes, permently attach that rail to the dust cover... & Eureka!!! A hinged, railed dust cover. Edited October 26, 2010 by Paulyski Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Well.. I still don't really like it, but I like it a helluva lot more than your bullpup designs, Boba! Me personally? I still insist on pretty permanently attached, (not rail-mounted), iron sights. If the FSB is missing altogether, it's a no go! ymmv. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the FSB is missing altogether, it's a no go! Not quite, your still thinking inside the box. He could still attach a front sight to that gas block. chopped AK, AR, or H&K sights once welded would work. Not that thats where he is going with this, I'm just saying theres other options out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric Pate 478 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Rube Goldberg's Self-Operating Napkin "Rube Goldberg walks in his sleep, strolls through a cactus field in his bare feet, and screams out an idea for self-operating napkin: As you raise spoon of soup (A) to your mouth it pulls string (, thereby jerking ladle © which throws cracker (D) past parrot (E). Parrot jumps after cracker and perch (F) tilts, upsetting seeds (G) into pail (H). Extra weight in pail pulls cord (I), which opens and lights automatic cigar lighter (J), setting off sky-rocket (K) which causes sickle (L) to cut string (M) and allow pendulum with attached napkin to swing back and forth thereby wiping off your chin. After the meal, substitute a harmonica for the napkin and you'll be able to entertain the guests with a little music" All in good humor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
