I finally got my carbine finished up. I would have put it in a post but I took some great pictures today and needed some more room.
I’m really pleased with the way it turned out. It works a little better in thick brush and trees than the open desert. You really can’t tell how DuraCoat colots are going to look until they get on the gun. I like it though.
My carbine worked flawlessly at the tactical carbine course yesterday. I’m really proud of that rifle. It took a while to decide what I wanted to add to it but it turned out great.It’s time now to get it cleaned up and back to work to be camouflaged. Then it will look as great as it runs.
There is some great stuff from Tapco. Their plastic side folder isn’t one of them. We had a customer that wanted one on his Saiga conversion recently. I wasn’t too impressed with it right out of the box. It’s rough and done not in polymer but all in regular plastic.
We went ahead and put it on the gun. The Saiga got bumped and right where it connects to the folding mechanism busted in two. After a few colorful metaphors yelled in the shop I investigated and found our problem stock on the floor and the gun on the bench. Can’t say that I was too happy with it myself.
Well lets just say that we wont be offering the Tapco AK Folding Stock again.
