i assume heater core is fine, went for a ride along - no coolant smell at all, no wet floor, good heat.

im kinda doing the same on my romy... not much now, but i put rails up front, accidently got a tapco folder (brings the suck... getting an ACE side folding stock next week, mod it to fold to the left). im also thinking about fabricating the bolt carrier with a galil style handle, that way, when its time to pull back after a fresh mag, my right hand doesnt need to leave the trigger.
some pics...
some pics...
No sorry they're from my 4 door sport

yeah, i always wanted an ak variant. buddy at work was like, hey i got one for 300. i checked it out (alot of the Century Arms WASR 10/63's have mag wobble issues, canted front sight, etc) and everything is perfect on it. all i have done to it mechanically is shave a little off the back of the bolt carrier and the hammer so it cycles a lot smoother. i just couldnt see myself with a 5.56 rifle after what i had seen in afghaniland. 7.62 brings the pain. sure it cant fire as far (accurately), but for anything within 200m, it is a beast.

Can't make up my mind. I do love having such a modular weapon though, I can change calibers in seconds.
