Ian's Customs: The Terrible Krinkov

Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! shop.forgottenweapons.com
Since you all seemed to enjoy the first installment in the series, today we have another of Ian's Customs...
This is my "Krinkov" - not a proper name for a short-barreled factory AK (the AKS-74U, specifically), but a word that I think fits this gun just fine. It is a registered SBR that I put together myself about 10 years ago using a Nodak Spud receiver, Romanian "G" kit, cheap-o Chinese airgun stock, and a new set of front end parts. It has a barrel just 9.5 inches long, poorly set rivets, a kludged rear trunnion, and requires one of the recoil buffer plugs to keep the bolt carrier from jumping off its tracks. But it's my first NFA item, and for all its awfulness I really like it.

This brings to mind a gun I encountered some years ago. A previous owner had attempted to make a 'scout' rifle,...out of a .30-06-chambered '98K. It had a barrel of about 16" and the stock was shortened and pared down a bit, as well. It weighed about 5-6 pounds and when you fired it a fireball the size of a pumpkin popped out of the barrel, followed by leaves and twigs 10-15 feet downrange dancing in the muzzle blast. I fired it exactly once.

That’s at least my somewhat-educated understanding of what’s probably going on with the difference between how often you catch the muzzle flash in the day footage vs the night footage.)

[@BalkanGunsmith]

Darn it Ian, whenever I think that I've got a nice gun idea, you jump in like, "Been there, done it" ;) , I've just got myself a trashy Polish AKM with a bent barrel, in order to do exactly that, just using a Mini-Beryl gas block/front sight, and old Beryl side-folder stock... I work in a gun store in Poland so sometimes I get some old surpluss firearms that are too messed up for sale, and that's also why I'm using Polish parts, it's much easier to get the regional product... Also, I'm going to cut my barrel a tiny bit longer, i'm going for about 10 inches (I want a gun, not a repeating flashbang...) It's nice to see though that I'm sometimes getting similar ideas as Gun Jesus did, even if I'm a bit late ;)

[@ArcturusOTE]

While you're at it, what about giving it a suppressor mount, might as well use the most out of the reduced velocity?

[@BalkanGunsmith]

@@ArcturusOTE - It will get a 14x1 LH thread, so it will accept all muzzle devices made for the original AK. Also, being in Europe, I don't need any ATF stamps for a suppressor, so that's a possible option.

As a native russian speaker i deeply appreciate Ian saying "suchka"

[@leathercoatguy]

I was googling the translation because I have an interest in learning more Russian, and at first I thought Ian was pronouncing it wrong, but an internet forum seems to confirm it would be "сучка" as opposed to "сука." Would you be able to verify?

[@alekseykuleshov111]

@@leathercoatguy “сука” means bitch. “Сучка” means little bitch. Additional letter “ч” at almost the end of the word is suffix. It changes meaning of the word little bit. Usual thing for Russian language.

Still not sure about military, maybe they call it suchka more often, but most of the time i've seen it called sushka, and the first time i hear it called as suchka.

“Don’t show Brandon Herrara…” mate, there’s no way we have to show him, he’s probably already found this, because the last Krinkov you covered was more cursed than your build…. Maybe… and he fixed that one.

In Ian's case it might have been too much gin in a younger day. to dream of such a thing? I used to know a guy in Montana who experimented, and did well. He had his own shop, making rifle barrels for Forgotten weapons from the old days, and playing with forgotten calibers. He was my ex- father in law, and I learned much from him.

Barely even crippled... not cursed. Actually, a very desirable and fun AK variant. Genius work procuring the stock, Ian! Leaving the bayonet lug intact is an amusing touch. You still need to throw a Chinese 100 round drum on it to make it complete.

[@neilis2405]

On my original BRN-180 I wanted to add a folding stock and ended up using an air-gun stock folding mechanism. I'm not sure it would have worked out with an actual AR but for the BRN where there was no need for a recoil assembly in the tube it worked absolutely fine. To quote the movie Apollo 13: "I don't care about what anything was DESIGNED to do, I care about what it CAN do."

[@bones1x285]

Ian your rivets look just fine. I build and work on ak's professionally and I can say that those rear rivets are a pain in the ass to make look good. What helps is to paint over them. Rivets dont have to look perfect to get the job done. I've seen plenty of factory guns that look worse than your rivets.

[@ScottKenny1978]

Yup. As long as there's zero motion, we're good even for aircraft. Though aircraft mechanics do tend to be OCD about their rivets, the spec is pretty lax.

[@future_phonk]

Aterro Arms makes a optic mount that replaces the rear leaf sight and it's pretty easy to install and requires no modifications either.

[@callsignapollo_]

I love that he says "i can see the fireball" and then the camera catches the massive blast on that last round. As for the build quality, all things considered id say you did a fine job for a decade ago before AKs had their resurgence in popularity
