    Slight progress. Lower handguard fits, upper is almost inletted, just need to trim the end. Still waiting on a handguard retainer. Barrel has been turned down so I could cut 1/2 28 threads on it.
    Will need to bore out the sight so I can mount it further down the barrel.

    Bit of progress. Stock will be stained to match the folder. Mag will be removable.

    This one is loosely copying a type 81, so its a mix of AKM and an original Chinese design. I am going to replace the lower handguard on my B3 AK copy as well, to give it a more AK look.

    Just need to stain the handguards, mount the upper, and touch up some bluing. Would be more correct with the B3 pistol grip rather than the AK, but it fits my hand better.

    Thanks for the kind words.
    I did want to use a gas tube originally, but it would end up high enough to block the sights. I would have to cut them off, and make a riser for them, then weld them back on. I decided that was not worth it. It also might not shoot too well with the sights raised up that much.
