Ok looks like Ive finaly built the Rom AK.

Ive hollowed out the stock to fit a large 8.4v battery. I really didnt like the proformance of the large stick batterys. Plus after helping mod Freedom Fighters G&P metal front end to fit one Ive decided its just not worth it. Im not fucking around with other batterys anymore, its large or nothing! Hollowing out the stock was a real pain. But managed to do it with just a chisel a dremel and some files. It was a really tight fit. I mean really tight! Because it was such a tight fit theres no room for a wire to run to the end of the stock. So you have to put the battery in with the wire and plug facing towards the gun. Then run the wire to a plug under the dust cover. This way you never have to take the battery out to charge it. You just take off the dust cover and plug the battery into the charger from there. A large 8.4v battery should be more than enough juice for a day of gaming. More than likely enough for several days.

I also sanded down the grip to make it look a bit different. It also lightened up the colour to match the colour of the wood better. It also helped make it rougher so its less likey for your hands to slip when they get sweaty.

Pictures dont do this gun any justice. You have to see it first hand to really apreciate how sweet this gun is. I guess my RPK is going to be put on hold for a while.

Maybe some time down the road Ill take pictures showing what I did to moddify the wood to fit on a TM AK and explain in detail what to do. If you have access to a wood shop it would be so much easier. With the tools I had it took me about 12 hours to mod the parts.

Parts
Romanian stock and forgrips
DTP metal body painted black
G&P metal front end

Parts I still need
AKM flashhider
Guarder scope mount

Very, very nice. Any plans for the grip, or is that how they are supposed to look?

The most noticeable, and unique, part about the Romak Assault rifles is that they have the foregrip. This is unique to Romania.

:tup: Stellar job, brother!

Damn what a nice Ak, but yeah, the pistol grip need's to get replaced or painted to match.

The grip should look like this.

But only Guarder makes these from what Ive seen. And you can only get them if you buy one of their over priced AK kits. I also think Trappers(hope I got the name right) has them too. Alex has one on both of his AKs. But they arnt vary good quality and cost way to much IMO. Plus you still have to paint them because they come primed coated in grey.

Im more then happy with the way it looks now. Besides this is a field gun and your not going to see the grip when its in my hands.

Just take the stock one and paint it red, looks amazing though, I never thought I would see slick with an AK, looks like its gonna happen :)

Uh, Conscript.........how long have you been dreaming about Slick, and is this the only dream you've had or are there others?

Slick.........run!

Seriously though, nice gun.

Very nice slick... saw this gun before was done, felt nice and seemed to weigh close to real thing (which i got to hold/see the same day)

Hmm.. not too sure about the Romanian AK, but the Russian one had a different receiver (stamper or milled?), and the top cover had ridges on it.

Otherwise, very well done, although that front grip doesnt look too comfortable.

Cheers,
Alex

That would be an AK47 with a Romanian goregrip... AKM has a lot of differences compared to AK47.

Thanks Poopa! It weights in at 9lbs.

ancorp what are you trying to say? Are you saying the AKM and AK47 have different receivers? Ya honestly I dont think you could really call this a AKM because it has the AK47 receiver on it. But Im not going to let that stop me ;]

Edit: Ya I agree I think Ill just call it a AK47.

i was sad when alex sold that grip, i really liked it. good to see it on a working gun, especially when it belongs to someone who actually goes out and plays ;)

BHUAHHAHA

Cons, you can come out :) BC_K and Prowler would prolly welcome you :mrgreen:

It was a freaking joke! :-P

Please dont question my sexual preference, cause you know im straight...

man that is a beautiful gun, im not a fan of the AK's, but damn, that is a FINE looking gun!

Nice Job! :tup:
