I've wanted an AK platform 308 for a while, but the prices went kinda nuts after they stopped importing them...

Then I came across this: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/769661965
The lack of furniture is no big deal, that way I can pick what I want while still meeting 922(r) requirements.

Fixing the pistol grip hole won't be difficult, no different than body work in that part of the receiver- worst case a reinforcing plate can hold the pistol grip nut in place.

I'll see how accurate it is as a 21", it could always be cut down and barrel threaded if it's not.

If there's interest, I can post pics in here as I build it and test it.
