A5 AK47 (Updated)

Got this BT barrel and handguard this evening and immediately
began converting my other A5 into this. I've always liked the AK
weapons (as evidenced by my repeated use of AK mags) ans decided
to finally begin making one. Here it is after one evening.... like the
MP5 conversion I'm also working on...there will be more to come.

Not much to it yet but it's a start. Yes, it has an egrip.

Photo One:


Still haven't started the drybrushing, but I did find yet another JCS
folding stock (which is really a very good stock) in the old parts box.
The really cool thing is, take a look at how the butt plate of the stock
follows the line of the mag....almost as if they were made for each
other.

Incidentally, Opsgear sells the BT AK barrel assembly for $109.95. I
got this one at Hobbytown USA for $79.95. $20.00 savings and no
shipping charges added either!!

Looks like any other AK Tippy, with no custom parts

Definitally Go for the worn look. I love that

nice, clean setup.  I wouldn't change a thing IMO.  Looks good the way it is. 

yea if you do the worn look it will look sweet

The red dot site on this gun is the same one I used on the MP5 (See
"A5 MP5 Mod & Opsgear Parts Review") now moved to "Upgrades and
Customizing". I've since put the standard round red dot site on the
MP5 because of the upper rail.

On the AD though, there is no upper rail (yet) and this site fits
perfectly there. Dunno yet.. the jury is still out.

it has one, look on the bottom picture. but i like that already, especially the flat black paint on there, looks good

Real AK's Dont have double triggers

If you are good at woodworking, Try putting some wooden parts on the barrell and stock

sry i dont like that stock, get a new one from opsgear or something, otherwise looks good

Good question Wook...the thing is unbelievably light! This is the
lightest of any of my three A5's. It's really surprisingly light. I haven't
shot it yet so I can't offer any information on the performance, but it
does look pretty good in the flat black in a "spetznazzy" kind of way.
LOL
