Hi, could you do an update video on the potted PEQ15? Did it held zero? Much appreciated brother!

I think you can cut the handguard and clip to keep the sling mount

Can I get a link to that flared mag well add on?

Where can I find the stock?

Man I just want you to know that even 4 years out you are saving folks AK. I deeply appreciate the excellent information.

Terrible handguard. 3 mags and it's too hot to touch

Did you ever try the rubber charging handle cover that AK thumb grips offers? It looks like you could just DIY it from a hardware store.

It looks like you could also Dremel out a spot for the sling loop too.

Did you have to modify anything for the gas tube cover?

Great informative vid! I have never liked the polymer stuff on the AK's until I saw yours. I just ordered the magpul furniture for my Zpap92 in FDE! Do you have any newer tips on modifying the furniture with a dremel? I will be attempting to do mine this week! Thanks for making these videos!

I’m liking this

why every american butcher the ak 💀

Very bad build for 7.62.39!.. just dream not using...

O silahı kullanmadğın o kadar belli ki😅 sen bir koleksiyoncu olmalısın. Yıllarca ak kullandım, senin şu saçma sapan handguar varyantlarına çok gülüyorum, 7.62x39 fişek kullanan bir silahı yarı otomatik dahi 3 şarjör atış sınrası o handguard eline yapışır 😅 evet tactical bir custom olmuş güzel, şarjör çıkarma kolaylığı, bolt için iki yönlü seçenek.👻 Fakat öyle kötü dipçik varki üstünde nasıl kullanabiliyorsun? Yoğun bir çatışmada bu kullandığın ekipmanların çoğu fonksiyonunu kaybedecek, bu arada reddot oraya olmaz, yandaki metal shwenk kızağına ayarla, yada iron sight üstüne, gas tube yada recoil spring kapağına optic takılmaz.😉👍 Siz amerikalılar hayatı çizgi film gibi yaşıyorsunuz, gerçek hayat çok farklı!.. iyi çalışmalar, video için teşekkürler. 👍🙋

Dope build! Thanks for the video

Thanks for the honest review

I wish i would have seen this video 5 months ago.. However if any of you are like myself and didnt, carolina shooter supply has a bolt on retainer. Seems to be good to go.

Plz where did you get that hand guard

Seeing that the Zhukov-u hamdguard can fit and make it look different im gonna take this and do it on my airsoft m92 type as nobody in airsoft think it will work and i tohught that for a while till this video so... Thank you for putting my old build back onto play but with a twistnoy on ak47 but on a m92 type

The first video I have seen on your channel. I like what you did to the rifle (not a big fan of Zhukov, though) - it is practical without being too "tacticool". I am curious about the extended mag release: you mentioned Carolina Shooters as the supplier and couldn't find the exact one that is on your rifle on their website. The one on the rifle looks thicker (almost molded plastic) than just the bent sheet metal one they sell. Didi you somehow modify it? Granted, this video is 4 years old so it might be something they no longer carry in stock... Anyway, I'd be curious to know what exact one you have.

Thank you sir. This is gold.

Would it be to much to ask you to list the parts?

great idea!

Mine was cut off can this ring be replaced?

5:42 that was definitely a fart

Do have part number on magazine release . I have to find one .

Any new videos?

Thank you for the mag mod tip! I love it!! 🙌

can I do this for the ZPAP M90/ M70?

I thought it was possible but wanted to be sure before buying the kit. Thanks a lot for this vid I'm gonna do the same 👌🏻

Is that a suppressor?

Hello from Russia my man! And finally! It's the first time I see a mag well on AK :D Thank you! You showed to me that such things even exist :DDDD

I realize this video is old, but I just saw it and wanted to add some information. No offense intended, as you seem as though you are pretty well educated in firearms and handloading. But there is some incorrect information in this video. First, the 7.62x39 and the 300AAC are not ballistically equivalent. They are close, but they are not the same - at all. AAC was looking for similar performance to the x39 out of AR platforms, yes. But that was only one consideration. While under development, one of the PRIMARY applications looked at was the need for subsonic 30cal performance to be used in suppressed weapons by SOCOM - something that US Special Operations had been asking for during the war in Iraq. What was ultimately settled on was a cartridge that provided similar performance when used with light bullets, but was a vastly different beast. The x39 has an maximum pressure of 54,490PSI, the 300AAC having 55,565PSI. This is similar but, importantly, with a lower case capacity - 35.2gr H20 vs 25gr H20. This dramatically affects the performance of a given loading. Even though they are ballistically similar when looking at light loadings, they are vastly different when looking at safe loadings. If we were to load correctly sized Lyman 311359 bullets (120gr Spire Point) with the same charge of say Ramshot X-Term (random powder used as a comparison because of it's similarity to most powders for intermediate cartridges) at 24gr we would see in any ballistics software that the 300AAC would generate nearly 36k PSI of pressure at 2300fps, while the x39 would only generate 13.6k PSI at a velocity of 1700fps. To achieve the same performance with the x39 with that particular powder you would need to load it with approximately 31gr of Ramshot X-Term yielding 2290fps in simulation with a similar pressure of 34k PSI. If simulating with CFE-BLK we see similar variances with lower charge weights. What this translates to when considernig loadings for subsonic performance is a higher probability of lower pressures not being enough to exit the bullet from the bore when using 300AAC loads in the x39 case. This is a huge safety concern for the obvious reasons. Though, that is not to say a safe loading cannot be found using 300AAC data. Only that when looking at heavy/slow loadings there is a greater risk where it concerns stuck bullets. As I do not have any information on the particular bullets you reference, I had to use a similar weight cast profile with the same charge - and this shows a safe loading at approximately 1044fps at 12k PSI. Whether this is enough to cycle the action on an AK or SKS is up in the air - as they this can vary from rifle to rifle. And whether this is a high enough pressure to reliably exit the bullet from the bore of the rifle is unknown. But it is a very low pressure for a rifle cartridge. Where it concerns leading, this is most likely caused by your bullet size selection. In short, there are multiple bore diameters for rifles in 7.62x39. Many US made rifles for the x39 use .308 barrels. European rifles, to include AKs, generally have barrels with diameters of .310 to .312. Some rifles have been shown to have barrels of .316. This is a HUGELY important consideration. Because cast bullits need to be sized .001 to .003 over bore diameter for proper fit - the firing of the round causes the bullet to be sized to it's final dimensions by the barrel. You do not select bullets the same diameter as your bore - which you seem to have done according to what you've told us. If you're getting leading, there are generally three main causes: bullet size is too small, velocity is too great, or not enough lube (not generally a concern for hitek or powder coated bullets). Since you're firing subsonic loads, this leads me to believe you're shooting bullets too small for your bore, and should find some cast boolits sized .311 to .312 to try, you might even need a larger diameter. Again, this depends on the individual gun in question. You can determine this by either slugging your bore, or doing a chamber casting to include your grooves and lands. I generally get no leading in pistol or rifle loads when using properly sized bullets at or below 2000fps (the generally accepted threshold for most cast boolits). If you're interested in using cast, I would highly suggest you visit and join the Cast Boolits Forum. There is more knowledge on that one website where it concerns reloading than probably anywhere else on the web.

Bro, that set up is SIIICCKK. Love your logic/perspective/philosophy, very well thought-out. Keep up the innovation!

Sweet gun brother!!

Coolest build I've seen, miss the videos man!

I Dig your No Nonsense Approach! Great IDEA my Friend ! Bravo to your Mind!

Have you considered putting a beyonette on that bad ass Draco?

I know I’m late to the party, but great setup! I’m also looking to suppress my draco. Did you have any concetricity issues?

I found those magwell flare attachments dig into my belly when I sling the rifle.

Thanks homie 👍👍

Hey man. I have a ZPAP I'm installing this same speed catch and magwell plate on. I was wondering if you have a video or any pictures up close of how you installed both pieces. Thanks!

Dude that's a fucking awesome crazy modded ak! Beautiful gun bro

I've lost two

Doug Is current military and often deployed.... I also own two of them, running on a Norinco Mak 90, Mak 91 purchased 8 years ago... No issues

Earned All the subs

Bro your a genius! Thank you

Great video and instructions. Honestly magpul should just take the time to make these. Thanks for taking the time.

Dang PPhenix, where did you go? I hope all is well.

Brilliant! Thank you for actually having useful information... Now you just need to get the QD inserts for QD slings on the damn Z stock I have the large one on my C39 V2(quit hating... Just upgrade it😁) With that, the stock and a Kalashnikov (CMC) trigger it is stellar! Also the tapco trigger that was in it was great but the new one from K and CMC is bad ass! I'm also now a subscriber! You rock man.... You remind me of all of us dyslexics that always look for the simplicity in modding or building something!
