Progress on the tacticool Scout AK

[Michael762]

Thought I would show the progress of the Scout AK I have being built by the guys over in Greenwood called AWS or Advanced Weapon Systems. I can't wait to pick this beaut up

Post pics as soon as I figure it out...

Excellent!

Aren't 1 or both brothers also INGOers?

If not - they should be. And they need to be peddling their wares on here, too.

 

[Michael762]

I have no idea. I did a review and photos of the AWS classic and that thing was great!!

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Well, an AK can't be a Scout, but I look forward to seeing your project!

Love to see what emerges from the mind of INGO!

I've always loved the scout rifle set up, so I am doing that with this one for coyotes. It will take a minute to get everything because I just got a new place to live. But it will be sweet when it's done. Using a Nitride barrel for it also

I'm with Kirk, in the sense that I have an idea what a "Scout" rifle is (or would be) and I don't think an AK can be one. What do you think of as a Scout rifle? Like, any rifle that has the scope out toward the middle of the barrel?

Don't get me (or us) wrong - I'm sure it'll be a cool project. (Here's hoping, at least!) It would be like saying, "I'm working on a Ford Tempo muscle car." The words don't really seem to go together, but the result could be really interesting.

We will see how it goes, I'm not talking "sniper rifle". I'm talking more a long the lines as like a smaller example of DMR.

Upgrading parts to:

Tabuk Flash hider

Primary Arms 1-6X24 SFP Scope with ACSS 300BO/ 7.62X39 Reticle

Zenit B31C long upper rail

Zenit B30 long lower rail

Zenit B33 railed dust cover

Harris ultralight bipod

Tnv PVS-14

L3/ Insight ATPIAL-C Class1/3R IR Laser

i know the night vision isn't necessary but I want it for my AR also.
.

It may not seem like it's worth it to an AK, but this rifle means a lot to me and I am keeping it forever. The guys there have helped me out a lot. My goal is to hit at least 2" groups at 200 yards

 

[T.Lex]

Yeah, that sounds like a sweet rifle. Good luck!

 

[Michael762]

It's going to be a long road but it will be an extremely fun gun once done. I love the AK but I really love shooting distance also. My next rifle will be a bolt gun if I don't buy another AK lol hoping to buy the Ruger RPR

Sounds like a nice setup, I especially like the Zenit stuff and PEQ15. How do you plan to mount the optic?

Definitely post up pictures when it's all done. Sounds like a pretty sweet setup to me.

I plan on mounting the glass on the Zenit top rail while using night vision, but until then it will be mounted on a RS Regulate full length rail. Gotta buy all the stuff but until I get everything I will be testing accuracy with the iron sights

 

[Michael762]

Just got an update picture of the rifle!

Do you have a good email address for AWS? Used the one on their site and had a few questions about some upgrades, haven't heard back in a few days. Feel free to PM me, my post count is too low to PM you. Thanks.
