This front end was posted on another board asking for somebody to I.D. it. I am now curious to what it was off of.
"Let me edit to say it is chambered in .308"

Looks like an AK with a custom Gas block and Saiga Handguards... The Fluted barrel is probably .223 but it's definitely a custom job.
You can see the rear leaf site and the saiga gas tube.... definitely a custom Saiga...

Edited above it is a .308.
To me it looks like a Super Vepr bbl with AK RSB, and a huge gas chunk of steel gas block.
Thats pretty awesome...
Any more info to post? I would like to know more about that, myself!

Sure, here's a pic of the muzzle end.

The barrel is 26" long, I figure the holes on the underside of the muzzle are for some type of bolt-on sight base. It doesn't appear to be chrome-lined.

That's what I love about this forum and firearms owners in general, always more than willin' to help a brotha out!

Where did that come from?
Could this be the first match grade front end for a Kalashnikov? (probably not, but the first I've seen)
It would just be nice to have a billet gas block with a big enough diameter for a bull barrel.
I wonder if it was put on a saiga what kind of groups this combo would be capable of.
Add a free float from K-Rail from Samson Mfg.
Some people claim it's impossible for a Kalashnikov (mostly AR owners) but maybe Sub-MOA.
I already laugh at AR owners at the range who are constantly trying to "de-jam" it would be nice to out shoot them as well.

I was thinking this was a bull pup nose or one of the new russian rifles see attached link.
