AK with a paintjob upgrade in the form of VHT Flameproof matte black header paint. One 7.62x39mm shell casing hammered over the charging handle to make it easier to get a grip on. Oh and an Ultimak rail/gas tube, going to put a red dot on it tomorrow and see how a cheapo works on the range this weekend.

 

The stock still needs to be re-wrapped with 550 paracord, btw.

I'd like to get a cool muzzle device for it sometime.

Haven't taken it shooting yet, that'll be sometime this weekend, I hope.

 

It co-witnesses; which means the iron sights are usable through the optic, which is a nice bonus.

 

Brightness doesn't seem to be an issue either.

 

It's made for shotguns, and is supposed to hold up to the recoil of 3" magnum 12ga shells, which is way more recoil than any AK will produce.

I've been too mobile and out of the service to get reliable paperwork or licenses to even own one. Haven't fired one in over..four years.

 

I've moved between three-four states in four years, two in the last six months. If I settle down, I'll bite the paper, but I'm moving out of this state in less than six months again. These states have a little difference in their propriety, but mainly how to get them and the time, as well as certain districts where I've lived will be against me owning said fire arms.

 

Thinking of a Rifle first, but I probably suck on the range and I'll have to get used to a .22 before doing anythng useful.

Well you can get one for about 10-20 bucks more than 440 rounds of ammo, if you know how to shop.

 

I was going to get some the other day, but they are out until Monday.

 

Not like I'm going shooting this weekend, everything got iced after it rained and the temp dropped.

Here's the AK with the new VHT Flameproof header paint finish. We've put ~300 rounds though it since painting it. The finish on the bolt carrier is entirely intact, on the rails there's alittle that's rubbed off, same where the dust cover and safety rubs the receiver. There's a couple of defects that have basically carried over from where the paint wasn't on tight.

 

When we cooked the paint on, we grilled it, the heat wrecked the recoil spring so we had to replace that. I got a bolt for the extra hogue grip I had, so we finally got that installed. The Ultimak is packing a Tasco red dot which has really improved the shootability of this gun, I still need to get a sight tool to dial in the irons but they are not far off.

^ Here's our target we were shooting at the other day @ 50 yards, we had to zero it in a bit, because we put loctite on the screws so the sight didn't come off under recoil, it's been pretty sturdy so far.
