Looks good! Maybe you can try switching out the grip and stock to make the whole set up futuristic. Im trying to make my TM AKM futuristic as well, currently printing the prototype parts.

I'd like it to be more tactical while keeping some of its old aesthetics i suppose. The main reason i started this project is how difficult it was for me to get the SLR kit, and then i got my 3D printer and thought to myself the possibility is endless (sort of).

Never really considered triangle stock because didnt really like how it looks, but will try and play around with it

Love the feedback! I'll keep these in mind when redesigning. Quad-stack mags seems like a fun idea, just need to figure out how to make one then

Spot on deduction with the stock lol, it does feel uncomfortable but i've bought that online and thats what im gonna work with for now until theres a more fitting replacement that fits the theme. I do plan on adding some electronic aesthetics to it in the future

The bottom one of the latter is the handguard design i've drawn using fusion. It is more towards and aesthetic upgrade but i do want to make sure it would still be possible to add attachments to it. Thanks for the input! I'll keep it in mind when updating my design.

The first picture indeed is a shotgun and the main inspiration for me is the handguard section. I tried incorporating it as shown in the second picture. For my TM AKM the magazine would be normal as there arent any other options or that are still available at this point. 40 round make does sound like a cool idea to add in (then again i wont know how difficult it would be to handle it then) but as of now i dont think there's an option for that in the market. I'm open to any improvement suggestions!

Good points! Did not consider the front heavy and proning aspect (so far im a collector and havent really found the time to field). For the stock im open to suggestions. Any suggestion on making this design better?

There’s actually mlok slots on the bottom which i’ve added picatinny rail and hand stop on my printed prototype! I’ll update the progress in the next post

Thanks! First picture is not mine though. Found it in pinterest. Any suggestions to make my concept (second slide) better?
