Ordered the wrong colour vertical grip. Clearly the only fix is to buy a second gun to make tan..
Once the pins are knocked out (which has proven difficult) the front sight is going to go, with the gas block being replaced by one with a sight. I've asked a friend about milling the barrel down to SBR length, and welding a buffer tube to the existing folding stock mount.
Recoil Magazine made me realize how much I like this look. I'll eventually end up getting another AK to look just like that, thanks to them.
