[QUOTE="jakerz, post: 2003578, member: 18966"] So I posted most of this on another forum, but thought I would post it here as well. For those that don't get on other forums. Basically, I wanted to make a more functional AK than what you get in a stock AK. Some people think you should just leave the rifle alone, but I'm not one of them. Since this will mainly be a copy and paste from another forum, some of information might not make sense. I'll do my best to clean it up. I went with an SGL-21. Below is a description of each pic: 1)Is how it was delivered. 2)I weighed it in this stock form. 7lbs. 5oz 3)I then weighed it against my AR with just iron sights. 4)Weight of the AR. 6lbs. 11.6oz 5)What I put on the AK. 6)A pic of the AK with just the ultimak. 7)The weight of the AK with just the ultimak. 7lbs 4.6oz (less than stock form) 8)The AK with all the accessories. 9)The weight of the AK with all the accessories. 7lbs 9.2oz As you can see, all of the accessories added about 4.2 oz of overall weight and is almost 1lb heavier than my AR. The AK is not heavy by any means, although it seems that most of the weight is on the front end. This should be fixed some when I do the barrel work. I will still have to replace the lower handguard with a similar one that is black. I’m doing this to sell the OD set as a complete set. On another note, the AK stock is 4” tall and the AR stock is 5.5” tall, which I prefer the extra real estate of the AR stock. Also, the AK stocks length of pull is ~9.25” and where I prefer to set the AR stock at is ~8.75”, a difference of .5”. It’s not a lot I know, but it does feel very comfortable where it is at 8.75”, which is the second notch. And my wife prefers it fully collapsed which is 8”, a 1.25” difference. I’ll update this thread when the barrel work is done. Thanks. BTW, the Krebs enhanced safety is amazing. Probably my favorite upgrade.
