pikapp168 17 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 So here she is...My beautiful baby. I've been a busy little beaver. I did the Tromix Stock Conversion, added a Magpul MOE stock, painted the front factory handguard with Brownells Alluma-Hyde II in "Coyote" color, added some rails (some of which are a little uneven and will be tweaked in the near future), added Magpul MBUS sights, a Hogue Full Size Desert Tan rubber grip, and Magpul AFG Gen 1 front grip. I love the way the gun turned out but have a little tweaking to do to get it just right. Any way, enjoy the porn! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnboatcat 24 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Good job. Now go shoot it. It looks like it wants to spit some fire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RED333 1,025 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 At first I think you build upside down O wait just the pic is upside down, never mind, looks good but I am of the Evil Black Gun club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saiga545 47 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Damn fine setup brother! Do you have anything on the muzzle? CSS has the adapters for Saiga 12 muzzle devices. Plus Tromix has the Shark Break that allows you to use the factory chokes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pikapp168 17 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yea I'm planning on buying the adapter for saiga's because there are more breaks available. Thanks for the positive remarks, I busted ass on it to make it look good. Hopefully this is a win in the customizing department for MKA 1919. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Garys4598 1,065 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) First and foremost: You did a superlative job with it! . . . .. . . .. . . . I have never personally seen a MKA-1919. . . so I've no first-hand knowledge. But I find your photos interesting regarding the proportionality of the furniture. Specifically, the rear stock seems darned diminutive in proportion and scale to the shottie's forend. . . almost like an optical illusion. I don't mean this as a negative. . . the MKA is obviously structurally different; just not personally use to the sight of one. Looks awesome though! . . .

pikapp168 17 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 The top rails are arched. They mount top and hang over each side. Thank you for the good feedback. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was standing at an angle when I took the shot and the gun was tilted at an angle. That's why it looks funny. Edited March 11, 2012 by pikapp168 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonblack 9 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Looks pretty cool. However, your rear sight is on backwards. Is that the only way it would fit? jonblack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pikapp168 17 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 LOL didn't even see that. No I can remove it off the forearm and flip it around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonblack 9 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 LOL didn't even see that. No I can remove it off the forearm and flip it around. Your front sight is not on backwards. The rear sight is on backwards. Hope this helps jonblack Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pikapp168 17 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Took her to the range today. She shot amazing! People were shocked that it was a shotgun. I also brought her to the gun show this past weekend to see if I could find any accessories. Everyone that saw it could not believe it was a shotgun. Hopefully people will go buy one now and add on to this guns growing legacy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pikapp168 17 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Usually High Caliber. My fraternity brother Sean owns it. I try and support him when I can. The only downer is you can't shoot buck, only slugs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why not get this http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-1305/Akdal-MKA-1919-Brake/Detail and keep the ability to change chokes? I strongly doubt that you would ever feel the need to change out brakes, but chokes are something worth changing for many reasons. i.e. different range, different game/ ammo, tuning to a specific competition....

pikapp168 17 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 went to the range today. flawless. my shoulder hurts after shooting 3inch slugs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FoxHound 3 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I like what you've done Not meaning to sound like a hater or anything, but the attached rails look ... uneven. Performance > Aesthetics, all the way. But still... personally, i'd leave just the front-most rail that mounts the front MBUIS I think I have some random magpul MOE rails lying around that I could use to mount my spare MBUIS... I HATE the stock plastic front sight on the 1919 Other than that, FANTASTIC job. Your buttstock conversion and paintjob look impeccable Also, my rear MBUIS was tough to get on my rail but I just had patience with it and would tap it in place with a little force and eventually it came on. Have patience with it, it'll get on there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pikapp168 17 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yea ive changed it up a lite since these photos. No worries tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FoxHound 3 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yea ive changed it up a lite since these photos. No worries tho You did give me a good idea though I had some old Magpul MOE rail lying around, and it fit on the handguard with a little trimming I'm gonna cut the rail about 1/3 in size today along with cutting the factory stock off (wish me luck haha) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
