while everyone and their mother has done the M4 look i decided to go a totally different direction. it still looks plain and not complete in the way of addons. This will be the final look of my gun.
16"J&J ceramic barrel X7 AK forestock, front sight, and mag polished internals still to come is an e-trigger and a one point sling. -------------

Not bad, but it needs a stock.

I actually like it not insanely bulky and over done, or underdone with home made plastic mods and duct tape.

IMHO, you should get the wooden forgrip and make wooden grip panels. -------------

i couldnt find a wooden foregrip but i dont like the look of "plastic" wood. just dont look right to me. Where could i find some or would i have to custom make them? -------------

most likely have to make them, i had to make my ak stock out of wood because i couldent find one, grab any kind of hard wood (oak, poplar, maple, walnut) and there you go? oh is that front sight all the way to the end of barrel? -------------

not all the way its about 3/8 inch back. thats where the gun im replicating has the front sight. Ya it is a blurry picture and looks like the gun was cut off on the end. -------------

| I think its sweet looking, cant wait to see it finished. I dont have my own gun yet, but when i do(probably not till december/january) i will definately upgrade to some kind of milsim look after a few performance upgrades |

well thats the look of the gun there. i still want a E-trigger, and a single point sling.
maybe, hopefully, i will get the courage up to try a paintjob myself. -------------

| If you still like the AK pistol, you could get tho folding stock and use the stock when you need it. |

I know Tacamo makes A5 wooden AK barrels/stocks, and is in the process of making X7 ones. As for the other grip, that would have to be custom. I would offer to make a pair of wood grip panels for you, because I make panels for other guns, but I dont have an X7 to work with. -------------

a folding stock like this one would look cool on it tho?
yea the wood grip by engler kinda looks funny tho. -------------

Your X7 looks more like AKS-74Y. One from many based on AK-74. I like it more =)  |
