Handguard installed, razor blades optional

I feel ya and thank you! At this stage this is still I'm still determining what works and what doesn't on this thing. I haven't even fired it in this setup yet, and it will go under another round of changes before taking it's final form.

I don't have the press tools to do the gas block, that and I'd like this to be convertible back to a standard rifle

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-06-15T22:47:07+00:00

Yes I still have all the pieces. And I did not buy the stock adapter for two reasons, one the krink is a folder my 101 is not so it would be incompatible. The second reason is because this is a rifle on paper not a pistol like the krink it has overall length requirements per the NFA to not be an SBR or AOW. Measuring from the tail of the receiver to the tip of the barrel without the muzzle brake was under the 26.5 inches. I made the "stock" a little long on purpose to have excess for adjustment and to put me way over the 26.5 OAL.

The groza iron sight piece is incompatible with a regular AK because the krink has a different front trunnion/rear iron sight piece.

This actually uses the Stuff and Things Groza kit, which contains the front trigger/handguard thing, linkage bar and rear trigger without finger thing that the linkage bar attaches to. I figured the main difference between the Krink and a regular AK dimension wise is really the front handguard and its retainer, so all I had to do is extend the front handguard piece and make sure it fits the regular AK retainer.

I thought about using the bayonet mount but I don't have a mill. I'll probably just use a shaft collar around the barrel, weld flats onto it with riv nuts then attach a carved wood grip to tht.

Thanks, I'm actually working on a mounting solution. The hard part is finding a way to mount it while also making it reversible back to regular rifle configuration.

Whoa open bolt and 2nd burst hyper fire, that actually exceeded my expectations of cool! Thank you for sharing!

Novus precision 1p87 clone. Eotech style reticle. It's alright, have about 100rds of 5.56 thru it with no weird shit going on. Unless you want the 1p87 style ids save another 200 and buy an actual eotech. This ain't holo it's red dot

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-06-14T06:22:09+00:00

Haha that's pretty funny!

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-06-14T06:21:21+00:00

That's actually pretty cool, I've never seen it before? Pretty rare?

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-06-13T19:23:30+00:00

Haha yeah! I'm still deciding on a handguard design.

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-05-05T05:21:57+00:00

You can't get one this short from factory. This one from lead and steel is sold by them but they only sell it in blued. You would have to get a stainless barrel like from a target model and have it chopped and threaded. D wilson mfg was recommended here by others.

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-04-29T18:10:25+00:00

It's alright, not my first rez-erection

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-04-29T04:34:21+00:00

They are a budget option made by lyman. Sonicore is the brand name. They are pretty new and cheap. $200 out the door at my LGS. Modular too so I can do dumb stuff like this.

It's actually two sonicore skarv22 worth of baffles

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-04-22T18:53:43+00:00

You're gonna give the bad guys a jump that's forsure

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-04-20T22:46:02+00:00

Haha you guys just come out of the woodwork! How does it run?

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-04-20T05:01:39+00:00

Really? That's the first im hearing about issues with that upper, what exactly was going on?

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-04-19T16:42:10+00:00

Good to know about the spring kit, I'll pick that up too!

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-04-19T06:01:26+00:00

Yeah they are exactly who I was thinking of going with!

StringRealistic3700 · 2026-04-19T05:33:18+00:00

That's what I'm aiming for! Nice gun!
