“Texas Armament Railed Receiver Cover” – more like Texas Weapon Systems Dog Leg Rail?
“Survival Corps AK-100 Side Folding Collapsing AR Stock Adapter” – SRVV Tactubes AK100 for side folding rifles? Because it does not fold any more after installing this.
“Zenit Extended Rail Cover” – is there any company making gun parts named Zenit or Zenith?.
now I want an AK…
Tierlieb
This is Zenit

The top cover is a TWS – that is a typo
The sidefolding stock mechanism is from Russia and does still fold after installation- it does not lock however
Zenit is a Russian accessory company – they make this rail as well as other parts for the AK
Larry, that is the first AK rifle that I would actually call good looking. If you were to put this AK together in a build class, I’d be there!!
Are the Russian SOF running 5.56 guns? Pretty smart, but they are SOF, so of course.
5.45
Can you get a proper cheek-weld on this set-up? The center-line of the optic appears to be very high in comparison with the top of the butt-stock.
All you have to do is get the cheek riser they make for the Magpul stocks.
How about move the laser to the side and remove the riser form the T-1 ?
have you seen russian set-ups? they don’t believe in cheek weld at all. if anything the riser makes it more authentic 😉
The Russian use tws top covers?
Oooh. I. Like. That!
Great looking rifle.
Tim, Ive seen those few pics passed around of some Russian trigger puller meeting Putin and, yes, hes got a TWS dog leg on his weapon. I emailed TWS about it when they came out and the owner confirmed that he does supply a few units in the east.
Also, dat height over bore. Gotta love it.
Nice neck weld, Larry. Is this an AK for giraffes (or Paige Wyatt)?
Like the paint job what is it…
Could we get some high res pics LAV?
The Russians are running 7.62 and 5.45 – I did mine in 5.56 cause I had a gun ready to go for the conversion – the Micro is a bit high to clear the laser but not a big deal; it is usable
Paint is Brownells Aluma Hide II – just applied it but it seems like great stuff
Email me via my website and I’ll send you pics of this gun ( iPhone pics at least ) and pics of the 2 Russian AK’s that inspired this one
I met the guy shaking Putins hand in the pic – nice guy and make no mistake Russian Alpha are on par with US SOF; they are no joke and see lots of combat – definately pipe hitters
Yugo PAP M92 would look great like this with a Hunter Town Arms Kestral AK.
Larry, I’ve seen those survival corps adapters before. I was told that the Bulgarians and Russians used different-sized pins for the folding stock. Is that true? Was there any custom machining involved?
Is there anywhere stateside to buy that extended rail? It looks freaking awesome
Can anyone help with this? I’ve been wanting to do a similar makeover for my SLR-106CR, but all my research has turned up:
1) All Bulgarian hinge pins are 4.5mm.
2) The SRVV tactubes stock is 5.5mm.
3) They aren’t compatible.
Any ideas how LAV pulled this off?
