Venturing back into AKs after a long hiatus.
Background, I’ve owned multiple AKs through my life. Mostly have been WASR 10 or 10/63s, and x2 CZ VZ2008. My cheapest one was one I snagged back in 2014 before I moved back home from Washington state I snagged for $380. Kept that one awhile until I traded it for a M16A1 clone I just had to have. Got another one around 2016/2017 but then parted with it thinking I’d get another before long. Then x2 kids and a house move later, still no AK.
Recently listed a M16A2 clone I built years ago, and thankfully worked out a deal with @Hunter600rr to get back into the AK game in form of this PSA AK105 in 5.45x39
Plan is to make it somewhat modern by doing the following:
-install Magpul plum handguards(ordered)
-install a Bulgarian 4.5mm triangle side folder (talking to someone now who might have one to trade, if not Soviet stocks it is)
-Install US Palms plum AK grip
-debating between ultimak or attero mount. Want to be able to still have irons as back up
Need to get more ammo and mags, but having to wait for my VA comp claim to be finished before I dive into that. Will probably go with the Bulgarian commercial mags ($12 on gun mags and Soviet stocks) to start as it’ll hurt to pay $50 a mag for the circle 10. Plus want to run a bunch of ammo through it to ensure function before dropping more money into it.
I know PSA just got into the AK game and had some hiccups early on, but I’m looking forward to running this especially with the tool craft parts in it.
Any and all information is greatly appreciated. My plan is to take this shooting next weekend, after I install the Magpul plum handguards and take some more pictures.
