Alright guys!I am about to venture into building my first ak. I want to build a pistol, I have someone who has done a few builds that is gonna help me. The questions I have are, Where to redrill the barrell and about the piston. I have heard people talk about not even using one, Do I have to have one? I would like to keep the barrell to 6 or 8 inches. Any hints?

I think the AK pistol movement only took off when AMD-65 kits were plentiful and cheap. The barrel was already under the legal limit, so no one thought twice about chopping it further. With AMD kits going for $250 now, I guess those days are gone.

Board wars aside, Gunsnet is the best place to talk AK pistols. They've got a whole forum dedicated to it, and I think you'll find anything you want to know about them.
