@USMC6094 is that an "F" or an "FR" model? Does it have a side rail?
Unless you prefer the scout setup (which I like too, albeit with a smaller red dot), moving that optic up and behind the rear sight leaf via a side mount (like an RS Regulate or Midwest Industries mount) would likely cure the front-end heft. If you want to try that but your Arsenal is a non-railed F model, check out the Master Mount if you're not familiar with it. Wonderful product that lets you affix a rail in just a few moments. Super simple to install/uninstall, not permanent - no welding, riveting, drilling, or screwing - and it holds zero.
Just a thought!
Seen out in the wild today traveling around Astan. Two Russian M44 Nagant carbines both with side folding bayonets still (one 1945), one DP28 with pan magazine, RPK, PKM and many AKs. One Russian AK had a Romanian foregrip. Wasn't able to get any photos for you guys. After a total of 5 full years in this place from 09-20', I finally came across my first 5.45x39 round here.

Picked up this piece today. PSA GF3 in Plum. Total was $667 with transfer fee shipped. Looks and feels decent. Time will tell of course but I’m willing to gamble for the price.

Century M70B1 - basically a spare parts kit "OPAP" build on a DCI receiver with an American barrel. Still a nice, stout rifle with a Yugoslavian heart (and a "Zastava-Kragujevac" front trunnion).
Nice job balancing it!
I’ve got the skills... that pays the bills. [emoji1787][emoji1787]
No, really. It just a matter of how fast can I take the picture BEFORE it falls.

That's easy - I identify one hell of a range day
Bear with me, as I'm using the stylus on my phone and I can't make out many details in your photo, but here are a few guesses:
I'm not much of a pistol guy at all, so I could go on and on. Turkish? Rugers also have their logo down mid-grip on a few of their guns IIRC.
Dragunov, if I could only choose one. Followed closely by those two milled AKs.
Might be Khyber pass copies as the rear sights don't have correct markings.You never disappoint, @Combat Diver. Mixmasters or what else are you thinking? That lower fire selector marking on the Russian Type 2 looks interesting.
Love that attempt at OD green on the Chinese. Or maybe it's Rhodesian baby poop? Is the grip painted as well or is it dyed?
Speaking of olive drab, here's my SLR-104FR rocking some mean green with a somewhat-rare OD ((10)) mag. Newer "VS" version of the ol' reliable PK-01 optic sits on top; Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 2 on the side.
Show us how you mounted the light. I’ve thought about getting a Russian handguard with the rail on it or an RS barrel clamp rail.
QFT.
So what's the story on this one? Looks great no matter what, but is it a kit build? And who makes that grip?
Gotcha, @WadeWatts. Yeah with the checkering seemingly on the back side of the grip, it almost looked like some sort of Zenitco hybrid or something new from Russia. Actually kinda cool, to have that extra texture back in the web of your thumb and index finger. Weird the photo effect would "shift" the checkering like that!
Nice rifle. How do you like the PK-01?
From Russia with love ... via Canada, where the package was confiscated by customs, opened and searched, and resealed again.
Just mounted a readily available, but rather uncommon PO 3.5x21 scope calibrated for 5.45x39 rifles. It's a honker! Kinda like having a bottle of Baltika lager up there. But the field of view is enormous, crystal clear, and the reticle is quite advanced. Like all my combloc optics, it's a beast and over-engineered to take a beating. Excited to get the VEPR out and stretch its legs a bit with this thing.
Looks great! How about a pic of the view!!
