The Pimped-Up AK In Action After several weeks of utilizing the 'light-mod' set on my AK, I think I can share some remarks. First of all – it really is very simple to install and needs almost no fitting. Some basic tools are needed (hammer!) as well as basic knowledge of the weapon's design – but with these one can re- ally install them all. There was a fair bit of trouble with the stock adapter fitting, but no big deal, re- ally. After we have slapped on all these mods, the gruff AK is gruff no more, and starts to evolve into something much more handy. It won't make it an AR-15 (no amount of tweaking can change the rifle's DNA that much), but it becomes much more user friendly than the original host used to be. The stock is excellent, with a comfortable rubber pad and almost in-line, parallel to the barrel at last. The adjustable cheek-piece helps especially with a red dot sight on – the cheek-weld can be obtained and held. The red dot sight is to be put onto the new up- per handguard – for some it might be too far for comfort, but as long as the sight is non-magnified, one can get used to. Some shooters even prefer to have their sights that far. The plastic handguards are robust and rock-solid, offer better grip and ef- ficient heat management. www.fragoutmag.com
