Yeah, the CZ-75 is unusual for double-action pistols, the safety only puts it in safe, rather than decocking and putting it in safe, or just decocking like the Sig pistols do. But from your review, it sounds like the KWA doesn't do that, do you really have to have the hammer down to put it in safe?

I'm pretty sure that if you tried making one for all of your AKs, you would hit the forum's character limit.

So that's a pencil barrel on Elvis'? It looked more like an A2 profile barrel at first, which is what threw me off. Looks sweet, and now it makes more sense. I like the slimmed-down look of the old handguards. I wish more companies made old-style ARs.

Hey Elvis, would you happen to have a partlist on that oldschool tactical AR? I'm not familiar with an out of the box variant like that, and I haven't seen a barrel like that at all that I remember.

I wonder if they will use some of the parts from Norinco's ARs.

What fit in there? Did AK magazines fit? It seems like they should, but 30 rounders or 45 rounders wouldn't shut the flaps. Is that right? There are some at a surplus store nearby and they are dirt cheap with plenty of pouches, seems like a good deal to me.

Not completely steel, just mostly steel. Does RSOV still have their pictures up with magnets on everything that is steel on the Kalash steel models? I seem to remember the outer barrel and trigger being pot metal, and did they ever fix the pot metal locking mechanism?

Where would I look to find if it is MFH-branded? So far I just have a jacket and a shirt from Sturm, all of the fleck pants at that store are either too short or have too many holes in the crotch.

Does anyone use the Flecktarn motorcycle... jumpsuit? It's a 2-piece thing, but it has zippers at the top of the pants and the bottom of the jacket, and they zip together. It also has some pads on it that look like they might work as kneepads and elbow pads, although I wouldn't know without trying it on. How does it look with actual gear on top of it? Also, is there anything wrong with Sturm-Miltec made stuff? That is most of what my surplus shop carries, and most of the other ones I have found around here don't carry fleck. I looked for someplace that wasn't a picture thread, but th

What models does that go for? I hadn't heard anything about that, I had thought they had been using TM construction, and switched over to VFC around the .042 model. I was planning on chopping off some of the stuff from the middle of the barrel, between the gas block and the front sight, that way I still have the front sight on there easily, but I kind of want to keep a normal length outer barrel, in case I have to deal with event organizers that ###### a brick over how Russia never made one that looked like that, so it isn't milsim. I have to ask, what is that quote in your sig from?

The way I understood it, CYMA has been using the VFC designs of late, same with Dboys. In that case, a VFC, CYMA, or Dboys replacement barrel would work, right? I see Dboys replacement barrels available, haven't found CYMA or VFC ones yet.

I didn't know of any pakistan-made ones like that, just of the VEPR distributed in the US by Robinson Arms. If I were to change an AKM into an RPK, I would need to cut out the rectangles, change the dust cover to the non-ribbed one (whose comfort would that be for then?), get an RPK rear sight, RPK furniture, maybe fill in the dimples (that varies with RPKs), which would add up to be a heck of a lot more than getting a CYMA RPK and getting a shorter outer barrel and inner barrel (I would want to get a new inner barrel anyway, for accuracy) and possibly a 47/M style gas block. Actually, if

Because the RPK stock on an AK looks awesome, somebody posted a picture in the later pages of the old AK thread, but I can't find it. I'm also hoping that if I just cut down the barrel, I could convince the referees of the local group that it is still an RPK, so it can use winding magazines if I want to. They said that a long-barreled AK doesn't count as an RPK, so maybe a short barreled RPK won't count as an AK.

Folding RPK stock might be cool, but I haven't tried sourcing them, and I only know of real-steel versions. Sure, I could just get an AK folding stock, but that would defeat one of the main aesthetic benefits of the build. Besides, I hear the RPK stocks are really comfortable to use.

In real steel, they have receivers that are half again as thick, which means more durability and accuracy, heavier barrels, meaning it takes longer for a barrel to overheat, and with all of that, they weigh barely more than a standard AK47 (when both are unloaded), because of the stamped construction. It would be used in a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. loadout, so a slightly irregular look is good, I figure maybe the guy using it would have figured he didn't really need that extra seven inches of barrel, so he got it cut down, then he has something more carbine length, while keeping the benefits of the RPK o
