I took it out to the range today for a function test. 1 round, then 2 rounds, then 3, then 5, 10, 30. It worked well. i did have a couple of jams thou. I atribute that to being a fresh build and not cleaned yet. VERY rough. i do expect it to clear up once it is cleaned well and after i get some more rounds through it.
I used the 6 Pos stock since I will be the one shooting it 99.99% of the time. I have long arms and want to be comfortable shooting it. Besides I am also doing an AR with the same stock. It just works for me. I know some AK purists say it is not right, and I say if they want to pay for my parts then I will build it the way they think is right.
I am not sure about the finish on the Rec yet. I am leaning towards sending it to Salbo and letting him refinish it. Have not 100% decided yet thou. There is a place in Wildwood call rebel gun refinishing also. I may take it to Ken and see what he can do for me. Still up in the air.
Thanx for the comments. It feels good to do some thing that most people can not say they have done.
