I have seen one photo of what was described as a "K" or kurtz model of the MPi 72 and I think it is the coolest looking short AK out there. I hope to build an SBR version, and have a correct EG sidefolder, PG and handguards, and an EG 3/4 inch between pins front sight (the photo show the wider front sight). I plan to build on an unissued Romy kit. Has anyone else faced this obsession and do you have any info that would help make my build more accurate?

The E.Germans called all their standard length AKs Kurz models.

They do have some short versions, but parts cannot be found anywhere...I had thought about using an AMD65 barrel or something similar.

Thats a ChiCom gun made into a DDR clone. Notice the rivit pattern.

There is one like that, but there are no parts to be found..

I remember the company that had that gun as their "banner".

Seems they were big into Mac-10/11 accessories and custom drum magazines too.

It was full auto and they had a vid on their site firring it into a small pond I believe.

The rivet pattern? I thought I had an AK addiction problem :grin: From what I can see that I can copy, I am getting the stock (from you!), I have the handguard and grips, I have ordered a DDR wide front sight and night sights from A-Ok, and I think I can pick up a DDR muzzle nut. I have seen a few DDR front trunions, but it is not worth it to me to replace the Romy one just to get DDR steel. I have also seen DDR rear sight leafs, I may pick up a pair (I have two DDR projects...).

I'm not sure it's worth the headache and $$$ to end up with an NFA weapon that is a poor clone.

I am not a huge 7.62 fan and only want to do one 7.62 SBR. I thought about an M92, but those are pretty common and I think this is more interesting. That said, if it isn't a model used in the DDR then I wouldn't want to do a frankengun. As long as I do the best I can in copying it then it won't be a poor clone, it will be the best available clone, right? :smile:
