Arsenal 107FR Work

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

It's been a few months since I picked this guy up and I realized I need to get Allen some recognition.

I had wanted to have my AK worked on for quite a while. I decided I wanted to do away with the gas block and front sight block, and go with a FSB and Gas Block in one. I wanted the barrel cut down to where I could have the brake pinned to just over legal limit. The point was to lighten and shorten the front end of this guy since there is not a ton of weight on the rear end of it.

I decided on the Venom Gas Block/Sight Combo, and I wanted the Surefire ProComp brake on the tip. The Surefire ProComp 5.56 fit exactly on the barrel, so I had Allen bore it out to accept the 7.62. Also decided to have it cerekoted in a flat black.




I took it up to Allen and it didn't take but a few days to have it finished.











If you ever have any AK that needs work, take it on over to Avon, Allen will fix you right up. Once my stamp hits, he will be cutting down my 104.

Was their any reason for going with the venom gas block over one pinned on?

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

Just the one I liked. It's a bolt on and can be pinned.

A. Love the gun. Alan's work looks great.

B. Do you still have to file down the front sight to zero it?

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

I hit it with the file a tad bit, just want it on at 100. Gonna get the micro dot on it soon.

very nice! I really like the looks of the FSB/gas block combos and the I hear that the little bit of weight shift makes quite a bit of difference. I have heard good things about Allen's work.

That looks great. I have the same rifle and have thought about the same setup. I bet it handles nice with the weight off the front. What recoil pad is that? I ordered one similar from Legion. Did you have to drill the stock for it to fit?

The weight shift makes all the difference, it balances it so much better, the brake cuts down on the rise well. She will bark. Allen is an AK Jedi Master.

Looks like the pad you ordered is the same one. I ordered this one from a Russian surplus sight a year or two ago, the machine screws are a PITA to use, you will end up buying longer screws and go ahead and get some lock nuts to keep it all secured. It really keeps the hard end from beating you to death and the longer length helps my larger frame.
