HEY! MY COMICS " SUDÄAN, THE NUBIAN EMPIRE" IS OUT

They also have a 1:9.5 twist rate, which seems like it would make a minimal difference in accuracy but does intrigue me.

@welcome-to-the-moulageathon finally got me to take the AK pill with his Christmas gift to me - this Polish WBP in 7.62x39

He got me a builder's kit since he knows how much I like to set up guns from scratch

The parts I added so far include:

Krebs Enhanced Safety Selector (hand-me-down since it didn't play nice with the AK FRT I got for him)

Surplus 'Bakelite' Grip (dunno the manufacturer)

Bulgarian Upper Handguard

Tdi LHV-47 Lower Handguard (I was really avoiding this cause >made in Isr*el, but nobody's selling AK200 handguards)

Stubby P&S Broomhandle VFG

Surefire X200

Blackhawk Dieter CQD Sling

Canis Design Group AK to M4 Fixed Stock Adapter

Gen.1 Ace Essentials ARFX-E 'Entry Length' Skeleton Stock

Master Mount AKM Side Rail Mount, Rearward Biased

Things I'm waiting on/plan on buying:

AK-74-style Muzzle Brake (going for an AK-103-inspired look)

No-Rivet Mag Release Pin

WPB Extended Mag Release

Bulgarian Slabside 30-Round 7.62x39 Polymer Magazines

Primary Arms SLx 3x MicroPrism, 7.62x39

Surprisingly, the only things here that I bought for this were the handguards and the Canis stock adapter - everything else we had laying around.

On the same vein, I'm going for early 2000's build vibes; something you'd see in an ancient arfcom thread with 700x500 resolution jpegs.

I've yet to put any rounds through it, but the ergonomics so far aren't nearly as rough as I was expecting - the stubby VFG is actually a surprisingly good index point for inserting mags, and the Surefire X200 is in the perfect spot to hit with my thumb.

The Dieter CQD sling is also surprisingly comfortable with the ARFX-E stock, but I might end up changing this out for a modified USGI GP Strap and a Magpul CTR once the cheek riser I bought for it comes in.
