Shooters,

In my free time I have been playing around with some AK's that I just bought impulsively. I have been on a SBR kick lately, so I figured there is nothing better than a good suppressed AK SBR. Thanks for looking.

First AK is a Yugo PAP M85 in .223 Rem. We took out the barrel, and all components, threaded the barrel 1/2 x 28 and made an extension. We turned the extension down to match the barrel diameter, and then threaded the extension 1/2 x 28 concentric to the bore. We then reinstalled everything and secured the extension. I had to cut off the flash hider mount and I squared up the front of the gas block/front sight. I then installed a ACE folding stock. It turned out great.

Second rifle is a Arsenal SLR106-54 that had a 16" barrel. I pressed the barrel out and did not feel like removing everything, so I made a new fixture to thread the barrel in the lathe. Since the barrel OD was around .550", I decided to use the gasblock/front sight's front end to let the thread shoulder up against. So after threading and crowning, I squared up the front end to ensure it was square with the threads.

Really digging the YUGO PAP M85, that thing looks sick! It's plain and simple, like that you left the wood on it. I look forward to seeing more. Cool video too! Thanks for the post

Typically, 5.45x39 surplus recoils a little more than a Selectric typewriter, which is a little less than most 5.56x45.

Veer, I bet some of the members on SH are to young to remember the old IBM units!

Mark, maybe you guys can work out a package deal with threading and refinishing.....Oh wait did I hear S&J say something about a group buy!!
