Here’s another Real Sword conversion… An LCT AK-104 frontset kit was modified to fit, utilizing the stock RS handguards. While this mash-up won’t please the anyone who’s into purely authentic AK builds (there’s no such thing as a Chinese AK-104 to my knowledge), it is built this way more for function than form. To give it a little touch of the modern, I threw on an AAC Blackout flash suppressor. I like this particular look on the AK-104 more than the traditional cone style booster or a simple A2 birdcage.
The base gun was already weathered by the previous owner when I picked it up second-hand, so I gave the frontset a little weathering to hopefully match up the external appearance a bit better. Overall it’s a solid and compact carbine for field use that incidentally weighs out a little less than my similar Real Sword Krinkov build.
