Where are the AK pistols?........

[Fred Foobar]

Crappy cell phone pic of my Draco pistol.


Sure, I should buy a real camera. I'd rather be spending it on guns (and ammo)!

I just realized that I never posted a pic of mine in this thread so,

Very nice!

I have a Draco on the way and I was wondering what the process is to replace the muzzle-nut with a flash hider or comp.

Here are a few questions:
1. Is the muzzle-nut just tack-welded on there? Can I use my dremel to untack it, then just unscrew it to remove it?
2. What type of muzzle devices or thread pitch do I need to look for when I buy the replacement? (will any AK muzzle device work?)
3. Is it even legal for me to do this modification myself, or am I temporarily creating an AW when I expose the threads on the muzzle?

Any help would be appreciated! Oh and of course I'll post pics after it arrives!
Thanks!

I believe it's just a tac-weld. You can remove it yourself. Pistols are not subject to 922r/925D. It's threaded 14x1 left hand, like your standard AK 47 type muzzle thread. It maybe a bit longer though. Obviously the AK pistol is an AW without a maglock and 10 rounder. After it's been Californicated, threaded barrels is not a problem.

Excellent - thanks for all the good info! I really thought threaded barrels on pistols were a no-no in CA, even after the DROS process. Huh, maybe I *will* continue my search for an HK SOCOM Mk. 23 then... cool.

They are, but for AK pistols you need a maglock. The maglock basically negates all the "evil features". A HK Socom Mk. 23 cannot have the threaded barrel installed. You can have the threaded barrel in your posession, it just cant be used while in state.

Ahhh - okay, that makes sense - thanks for clearing that up!

Finally, some pics and info to add to this thread!

Just got this one home last night and went to town on it. I don't have the means to drill out the rear trunnion for a sling attachment, so I made mine up with some black webbing I had laying around. It will work for now.

Hogue FDE AK grip
Midwest Industries FDE handguard
Troy single-point sling on my own, made-up, nylon webbing sling mount
Tapco slotted muzzle brake

Enjoy!

[QUOTE=qbertquartz2;2574460]I've been wanting one ever since Goldeneye.





Updated with a new set of furniture. The original set is going to be saved. The upper wood was donated to me for this project, it's from a 545 so there is a groove. The lower wood is from Arsenal that is now discontinued or unavailable from what I've heard.


The pistol looks amazing! I was wondering what stain color is that?
And how does the 4 piece flash hider work for you?
TIA.

[QUOTE=jacques;1987918]Just picked mine up today. Lancaster on a NDS-3 receiver, JP lock, 10/40 mag, and bungie sling.





Your AK Pistol looks sharp! Did you drill a hole to mount a sling mount or did you install a Pistol trunnion with cutout for Uncle Mike's sling swivel?
