.17 rimfire AK?

[troberge]

I just had the time of my life building an AK-74 and would love to have one chambered in .17 rimfire. Anyone ever seen on, dreamed of one, built one? I think it would be an epic rifle! -thoughts-?

.17 rimfire faces the same issues that .22WMR does. It is not likely that you will see one soon. You almost need two methods of extraction (seel Kel-Tec) to get an auto to run reliably.

I haven't seen anything for the AK platform, but Alexander Arms makes an AR upper or rifle in .17HMR.

Nope I haven't ever heard of that.

But there are 22LR kits on the market right now:

They have been gone for a while so this is your chance to get one before they are gone again.

I think the 17 HRM has had a lot of problems in semi-autos not many make one any more. I agree though be a fun gun.
