Howdy pard!  Nice to see another "Old Timer" on the board!

 

Try an East German or Romanian side folder.  They work with the stock trunnion and are tough as hell.  Make it "retro" with a wood Romanian pistol grip handguard.  Everybody and their brother has a "tacticool" AK.

Since I didn't get too much feedback and the Bonesteel folder (or other) would have resulted in $362 for parts..

 

I opted for kinda simple.

 

CAA Aluminum Tube with MagPul CTR, MagPul AK Grip, and Tapco Intrafuse Handguard.

 

Conversion kit from CSS with Intrafuse was $131

CAA Tube was $76

MagPul CTR (commercial per CAA sight) was $56

 

Total was $256  :(

 

Going with wood and adding the gas tube and lower retainer would have ran me $273 or more..  :/

 

Will post pics when I get it in and setup.

Sorry, didn't see this until today. I have a 39 coming in and I've decided to make it a nice classic Russian red. Tactical just doesn't belong on an ak. Best of luck with your build

Tell that to the ruskies. Lol.

Going with E German folder and Intrafuse for the front end.

 

Got in the Damage Industries muzzle brake for it too.. Going to recycle the Yugo grip for now.. got my CSS pkg today also with Tapco G2 FCG..

 

KISS..

Slight change.. ordered the MagPul AK grip for it.. can't run the Yugo grip or I'll be 1 off for the 922r stuff..

 

Kinda lucky since I run a small g-shop and convinced my partner to order 3.. so I get to choose from them..  ;)

 

Classic had issues with their UPS.. finally shipped them yesterday.. & due in Thursday..  :)

Well the 1st build with E German folder and Intrafuse handguard went to my partner, threading that today/tonight for him..

 

I've decided on another E German side folder with some NOS new wood handguards from APEX.

 

Got the parts, gas tube, and CSS retainer ordered up last night..

 

Build #2 starts soon.. (other build is in VEPR forum by accident)

 

Should look something like this..
