Nice collection I'd keep the saiga 12 I own one and love it
Recently acquired a Saiga 12. On the fence about keeping it. But it may grow on me.
From top to bottom:
Molot VEPR RPK-74M clone
Saiga 5.45 awaiting AK-105 conversion
Saiga 5.45 AK-74M clone
Arsenal SLR-104UR
Saiga 7.62, semi-conversion done, full conversion down the pipeline

There's no where to shoot it where I live. I'm stuck to only using slugs on a rifle range or birdshot on a patterning range. My aim is to make sure it's dialed in for the occasional buckshot as well.
A friend of mine bought a storage unit full of demilled kits at an auction. Here are a few neat ones. About a dozen AKs inside with some other gems. All of the Yugo’s have really cool trench art. Some milled, some stamped, etc. Pretty cool, even if he is the type to just sit on the stuff and not part with any.

That Bulgarian AK-74 kit is upwards of $800 right now.
If he needs helping pricing out stuff, let me know I know a bit about AK kits.
In any case I'll probably end up selling the Saiga 12 and buying another one. I would like one with the older style sight and rail.
I really appreciate the offer. I’m sure I’ll have some questions sooner or later.

Yeah i got a contact who’s whole life is AKs who would be glad to help if you got any questions i can get you his number. He has some pretty rare chit and a great builder (although turn around time is long).
Here is mine. Question? I want to put wood furniture on this. Do I need new metal hardware to install wood over gas tube and barrel? I dont believe it will be a simple swap?
There are bolt-on handguard retainers:

Ideally you'd want to press off the gas block and front sight and install the AK 100 series components if you want to clone the AK-101.

It appears this would work for the lower hand guard but I'm not sure about the top? Not sure how this connects to the gas block?
*edit* looks like I need to replace the gas block with a standard AK gas block. This could add up quickly!

That RPK 74 is sweet as hell. Is it a Arsenal import or parts kit build?
