    Another combloc gun that's so ugly you have to love it. :D I've had two that I picked up when they were cheap and then sold when prices went up; I kinda wish I'd kept one of them but I almost never shot either (I don't think I ever shot one of them). Of course I'm weird and wish I'd picked up one of those weird little Polish P64s too.

    some of you have probably seen my work & just dont know it... since this is an AK thread will share a quick pic of a couple of my set ups that took off like crazy in the AK world. did hundreds of these in a very short period of time & it just killed the enjoyment right out of it.

    its to of my shortest style AK pistols. the AK47 has a 1.1250" long barrel. the AK74 has a 3" long barrel. my vids were posted all over the internet. They might still be available somewhere. These are still locking bolt, gas operated, fully functional AK's.

    anyone who builds AK's knows about rivets, screws & all the other various ways to build them. i do them all ways, but on these Super Shorty set ups, i always tested/shipped them with screws so the end user could rivet or screw on their receiver, whatever they wanted...

    If ya got questions? i got answers. 7447pistols.jpg

    I read a story in the paper that Zelinsky was in Bulgaria gathering support for Ukraine and he was given a CZ75 Pistol. Anyone know the background of that gun that makes it so special?

    These look like too much fun! Therefore, they certainly have to be illegal in California~!

    Yea I picked it up in the 90's. Ran maybe 3 mags through it. Cleaned it and it's been in the safe ever since. A straight shooter for sure, but others make the range trips.

    never attempted to do any conversions for any of our Commiefornia guys, but im sure some of them probably copied it on their own. :-0

    was always pretty picky about the states id ship to or who do work for.

    how about an SBR build i did a few years ago?

    this isnt your typical AK... This is a PSL (7.62x54R) that i set up on an 8.5" barrel. still full locking bolt & so on... but man you talk about bringing the thunder to the valley.

    Love my Meridian Defense “Pestilence.” Absolutely lovely little boomstick. All kinds of neat doodads from the trigger to the nose, and noisecan adaptability. Also liked the # I pulled, which is the year of the build date on the original Romanian kit. ‘76. Go freedom. Like Gary sings so eloquently in “Team America:” ‘Freedom isn’t free,’ and neither was this baby. But worth every penny. Oh, so worth it.

    Apologies for the grainy zoomed in iPhone picture. I didn’t have any other shot of it.

    i didnt build that particular gun.... but yes have done many in that style. its one of my favorite flash "hiders".

    i love the worn look on all my older style builds. looks like they took some steel wool to that one to age it.

    Shes good lookin’!
    Yes, the lead time on the Meridian Defense was long, but it actually fit well. I ordered it while I was getting ready to move from California, to Montana. It worked out well. Plus, they didn’t “California” my AK and neuter it.

    Long live the dongle! :)
