Please advise on a tactical AK build

[cyborg]

Guys, I have been yearning for an M4 style tactical carbine for quite a while but am thinking I would prefer to spend the money on a tactical AK instead. I am thinking I would like to build the best possible tac AK.

I would like some advicefrom any of you guys who are experienced in building AKs.

What I know....I would like a stock that can be shortened like the M4 stock. I think that stock looks odd on an AK but will live with it unless there is a better version more suited to an AK.
I want the caliber to be 7.62
I want to be able to put on a vertical foregrip, tac light and possibly a laser.
I also will be putting an EOtech or other combat sight on it but would like to retain iron sight usage.

What I am unsure of.....

I want a solid weapon. I am thinking some sort of milled receiver for the base (Poly tech legend etc?) Possibly a stamped receiver but I am unsure which ones are more robust. I hear some are made of thicker steel and are a better choice.
What is the best way to mount a combat sight? Those rails on the dust cover seem to be questionable and a pain to get in to clean the weapon when installed. Maybe some sort of Galil style side of the receiver welded mount.
I will want to refinish the gun when done with Duracoat or such so welding to mount things and to reinforce the receiver if necessary is fine.
What about a chrome lined barrel? What about chrome lining the area where
the gas piston is? I have seen that area corrode seriously on AKs before.

Just want to make the best possibly Tac AK I can, it will be my main weapon for life. Your ideas will be greatly appreciated. I am sure there are a ton of accessories and options for an AK that would make it great.

HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa! Bro thats hilarious.

I actually agree with what I think you are meaning. An AK looks old school and doesn't lend itself well to having that tact tech stuff on it. I was wanting to get an M4 but when the chips are down I will gamble my life on an AK. I already have a couple but not a tac one.

I have a BRAND NEW A4 stock and adapter setup for a Romanian AK (with the rear tang) been shot on once... Its VERY nice. Im putting a wire folder back on it... I like it alot, just dont need a bunch of xtra crap laying around...

I have nothing against tactical AKs. I found this a long time ago a thought since Stomper posted, I would throw this one in too for laughs.

Supergenius, Stock is still available? Are you parting out your rifle or something? I thought you were considering selling the entire thing.

Take it to PM's or classified section.

Sheepdog, I think you hit the nail on the head with that setup. What is that pistol grip on that? That is the type of sight mount system that would be exactly what I am wanting. Seems that this is a short barreled pistol. I will be wantin to do this on a standard length rifle though. Would this same quad rail work on a full length rifle? Where would I get this rail? What is required to remove the sights from an AK?
Would you have any suggestions for a rifle to start the build with? Something with an excellent receiver, something that lends itself to this sort of a build?

Rifles not for sale... just put a holo onm it this weeekend, and the correct wire folder will be in the mail today... Scope isd going on the AR.

Keeping both.

LMK if your interested in the stock.

you can spend hundreds of dollars to make it look taticool but no matter what you put on it or how much you spend it will still look like a weapon made in a 3rd world country

And thats bad why??? For the record I hardly consider Russia a third world country.
