Cheapest Method To Convert AK Pistol To Legal Rifle.

[arakboss]

If I was to buy one of these Krebs PD18A2 AK pistols for a really good price ($500ish), what would be the least expensive method to convert it to a legal rifle configuration? I am guessing a pin and weld with some type of crazy long muzzle device?

For 1400 you can get an AK rifle. There is a mak90 for 1400 in the classified.

@trekkerpaul , you just don't get the OP. Lol

On a helpful note , there was a " fake" suppressor for ak in classifieds recently.
That's what I have tack welded on my arsenal sbr

In most of the threads this would be a more applicable meme.



As long as we are talking gumpish silliness...

Besides SBR I suppose? A proper pin and weld will be damn near the same cost.

i was interested in the Krebs pistol at the $500 price point. Would like to keep the rifle lengthening job around the $100 range.

My faux can is tacked on the spring loaded plunger that is the muzzle device retainer. Probably took 30 seconds to accomplish.

Is it made of steel?

 

[Knobgoblin]

Idk , man.

I might haul it out tomorrow and magnet test it

this is not an atf approved method for "permanent" attachment to bring it to 16" just saying

If u want a rifle buy a rifle. AK rifles are only $599 at palmetto (blem). If you want a pistol buy a pistol. Buying cuz its slightly cheaper and then chasing down bubblegum to weld to it is a fools errand imo. Constantly chasing the cheapest of everything (see previous threads on how can I eat for $3 a day, how can I eat out for $10 for 2 peopel, how to pay off credit cards, etc etc etc just results in a life of being a bottom feeder. Buying smart is wise but overspending on a huge quantity of cheap stuff just to get your mental stimulation fix is not smart Imo. Address the problem, ADD and OCD, and stop chasing cheap crap all the time is what I would suggest.

Lol.

Well then how did arsenal LV sell them to the public??

I had to have someone explain this to me: "Buy once, Cry once."

Buy the best quality with it's high price: cry ONCE because of the high price, or:
Buy the cheapest you can find: cry when stuff falls off, cry when stuff breaks, cry when there's no customer service, etc.
