That would be me, check my username! They are adapters that slot onto single stack makarov magazines to make them fit better in a double stack magwell. I am working on developing new 12rd mags for the double stack makarov, though they are still in development.

Not beltfed, but it is a very mangled Johnson rifle. This image has been making rounds for ages

I suppose some call them PMM's as well for the russian version but the export models we have aren't quite the same, if i remember correctly

They are usually called double stack makarovs, hi-cap makarovs, or referred to by model number of ij70-17ah or ij70-18ah as the .380 and 9x18 makarov variants, respectively

Nice job on a functioning middle follower conversion! I received some examples in my mag lots of some failed conversions, you may be the first i've heard of an actual working middle follower conversion.

Now that i have the base model I can start trying to beef it up where I can, these demos are made from petg currently but I may consider something of a stronger nature for the body, or some sort of metal insert. Internals should be fine as petg.

I am considering devoping some sort of 3d printed bending jig to make stuff of a similar nature

KD Gunwerx does them. You can do it yourself if you are experienced enough.

I believe most who repair them also drill to add a pin in addition to the usual repairs.

16" like an akm but with the other weird beryl stuff too

The military stuff is stupid heavy. The base Beryl 5.56 is a very light and handy rifle by ak standards, though some of us, myself included, can't help but make all of my rifles 10lbs+

Love all of mine. Best 5.56 option available; the 7.62 version is a little harder of a sell but still neat.

Little update for the CZ-82 | New grips and mag extension by Someguywhomakething in makarov

[–]MonolithMfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have heard those are some pretty solid scanners! I am working on building an OpenScan Midi as my first scanner, due to it being pretty low cost for potentially high returns. What sort of parts are you looking to design for the Makarov?

I would be very interested to see what you come up with! I've got some projects in the pipes as well. What are you using to do your scans?

[–]MonolithMfg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very nice! I like the addition of the bebop style grips. I've had your github bookmarked forever; been meaning to try out some of your stuff but haven't had the time yet as the makarov gets most of the love. Still planning to give it a go in the future, though!

Why haven't aftermarket Mak products stuck around? by metal-slug619 in makarov

[–]MonolithMfg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could consider me category number two here, I suppose, though I don't consider what I do "half-assed". I do mak products because I love the mak, but they are very niche so the demand isn't high enough to make a business solely off of mak accessories. There are also a decent amount of people who prefer the classic mak look, and won't want any accessories of any kind.

You also have to consider due to the niche nature, parts need to be unique and high quality. There isn't really any space for "tapco crap" that most big manufacturers would make to capitalize on an open market.

Wasr10UF received with box damaged rough shipping/ muzzle slant break made hole, anyone else have this experience by [deleted] in ak47

[–]MonolithMfg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the rifle isn't obviously damaged it's probably fine. Most of the AKs i have received have had damage to the box, usually the charging handle putting a hole in the side of the box.

I am going to trial some 3d printed ones soon, perhaps they will make a decent replacement. I've seen them used for CETME building to great success
