A few SBR AKs I built this month...

[marksman13]

The company I work for has a Class II. We are going to be selling these SBRs, but here are some test guns I built in May actually. I forgot it was June already. Each gun has had 500 rounds through it. No malfunctions from any of the guns.

If there are other accessories y'all would like to see let me know.

That first post really came off sounding like an advertisement. I didn't intend for it to be that way. Mostly just showing off a little bit. I'm pretty proud of them. They are ALOT of fun to shoot, but they are ridiculously loud. A RAZR muzzle brake seemed to cut down on blast and recoil pretty significantly.

This is my first foray into NFA guns, unless you count the stuff I handled in the military. I've got a trust started already, so I can own the wood stocked rifle in the photos above. The front trunnion was born the same year I was. Kinda felt like fate.

Very nice.. I really like the wood... awesome..

Berry nice. So dig pic # 2.

TTR, that is a nice looking Draco SBR in your sig line also. These are Dracos as well. I'm going to try to chrono some common loads next week and compare them to a 16" AK. My curiosity has been peaked.

I'm going to try to chrono some common loads next week and compare them to a 16" AK. My curiosity has been peaked (sic).

Everything I have seen is that they get between 2000 and 2100 with loads that I get about 2300 FPS with my 16" guns. I can handle losing 200 FPS on a gun intended for sub 250 yard shooting.

I like the wood one. If I'm going to the trouble of an SBR, I'm not going to deck it out in tapco. The results IMHO would be so much better on the top gun if it were sporting a CTR or even an MOE, an MI rail, and a vortex. I personally like the Tapco SAW grip and I use it on a few of my guns.

If there are other accessories y'all would like to see let me know.

As far as what I'd like to see. I'd like to see how the Midwest industries SS universal extended hand guard looks on a draco. I also am curious how well, and with how much difficulty the TWS hand guard can be adapted to the draco

Girodin, I tend to agree with you on the Tapco stuff, but we sell a ton of Tapco accessories and Tapco has been good to us, so we put their products on a lot of our guns. It's pretty decent stuff for what it is.

I need to get my hands on one of those MI extended hand guards. That's what I intend to put on mine. I haven't decided what stock to put in it yet, though it will likely be a DPH, ACE, or Tromix folder. It will probably also get a Hogue grip.

Certain tapco products I have repeatedly used and I find they work just as well as more expensive options: G2 triggers, retainer plate, SAW grip, fixed standard length stocks, their A2 flash hider. When it comes to some of their other stuff there are things I prefer more, for both functional and aesthetic reasons. To each their own though.

Ill take them all just like they are!!!!! :beer:

Girodin, let me clarify. I don't care much for Tapco furniture. Most of their internals are great. And honestly, there isn't anything wrong with Tapco furniture, there are just some options I like better.

Are those basically dracos re-built on your companys reciever with a new rear trunnion riveted in?

Id like to see a 7" version similar to a mini draco but without having to use a pastic spacer/recoil buffer/bolt travel limiter thingy to keep the carrier and piston from jumping out of the rear sight block.

 

[marksman13]

Bkjeffrey, yes. That is exactly what they are. They are Nodak Spud receivers.
