AK47. A combination of letters and numbers that quite possibly evokes more emotion than any other alphanumeric name in the history of our world. The ubiquitous AK47 has come to symbolize liberty, freedom, hope, and defense. It has also come to symbolize tyranny, oppression, and terrorism. No matter the association, the AK47 is the most commonly encountered military rifle worldwide. It has proven itself for combat, Homeland Defense, hunting, and good old fashioned recreation. In recent years, we have seen the Kalashnikov become more fluent in the tactical language of today's Law Enforcement and Military circles, with a multitude of rail systems, stocks, and grip options available.

Over the years, the aftermarket for the AK pattern rifles has really stepped it up. No longer are we tied down to the wooden furniture that is better suited for smaller statures. A whole slew of butt stocks, hand guards, rail systems, and pistol grips as currently available to modify the Kalashnikov. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that all of them are as tough as the gun they're designed for. A lot of these components are very inexpensive, and for the most part, you get what you pay for. On the other hand, playing the used market and/or looking out for good deals, one can put together a quality package that best suits their needs, sensibilities and aesthetics.

I normally like the AK in its classic form with wood and all, but I must say... that is quite pretty.
 
this is one of the only bastardized AKs I've seen that doesnt look like an utter waste of money.
 
Some of us like the short standard AK stocks.

Since US stocks are too damn long.

Still, good looking AK~ better than AR-15/M16 for cost?

Funny you should mention this... I shoot AKs almost exclusively. Every time I pick up a gun with a NATO stock I always say to myself, "this stock feels too long." I always feel like I'm stretching myself with a NATO stock.
 
This isn't an Afghan rifle.
It's not old, covered in rust with mis-matched parts, and doesn't come with a half-full magazine and a HIK, HIG, or Taliban user! I call advertising foul!!!
Nice looking rifle, though!
 
That's just too pretty to take out shooting in the brush or do any hitting the deck and rolling.

:D
 
The third and final picture of a 'stock' WASR-10 in your video is mine.

I don't mind that you use it. All I ask is for a free rifle like the one you have made.

JK... guess it means I did something right when taking pictures. Your rifle looks great.
 
I agree, usually I hate seeing someone throw a tacticool replacement stock on an AK or SKS but this is a very nicely done piece. It looks like it belongs on the rifle from the start.
