SKS/ AK47 hybrid project, part 2

Excellent idea with the "linkage" thing. The AK bolt carrier has a "tail" in the rear , just above where the hammer strikes the firing pin , this tail is preventing the hammer to engage the back of the firing pin until the bolt carrier is all the way forward. The disaster may occur when the chamber is "grilled" with painted shell residue or a cartridge is out of shape and will not allow for complete chambering and you pull the triggerArmedsask said:Any ideas to keep it from fireing out of battery? How does the AK work in that respect?
I was thinking a linkage like the stock SKS trigger group, make it so the hammer can't drop unless it is pushed down, or something.
My other plan is to only pull the trigger once every second.
Obviously in selective fire AKs the auto sear will prevent out of battery firing but.........never mind , don't get any ideas

I have a SKS-D-AK folder project going on here... The tricky issues are: moving the trigger forward (probably with a linkage), the safety (Probably no safety!) and moving the gas port rearward or lengtening the AK gas tube to fit... I wish I had an RPK barrel I could use... The AK barrel is too short to use in a non-restricted rifle. The top cover will also need some attention and the SKS receiver will need some machining so the folder mechanism can fit...
Did some work on the "stock" this weekend.
All cut outs are done and "lower reciever" can be mounted to the SKS reciever. Got it trimmed up lengthwise and modified the foregrip to fit. I still need to trim some more off the foregrip as it sits to high at the front and the gas tubed can't be mounted. Just need to trim the top of the "lower reciever" and it's pretty much done.
The AK top cover is not mounted, it's just there to give an idea how it will look. Same with the AK stock. I have to make a rear trunion to hold it. won't be using the ACE skeletal folder any more as that is going on my aluminum AR180B lower.
Again, before any one gets on my case, I know it would have been cheaper to just buy a CZ-858. how ever, this wasn't all done at once, it kind of snowballed. Started as a pistol grip. Later add an AK foregrip. Next then you know, she getting AK trigger group. I'm happy with how looks.

A simple stock change would get it to look close enough to something like an SVDshortandlong said:

The problem with others doing this is there is no turning back. It requires cutting up your stock trigger group, welding mounting points, drilling and tapping holes in the side of your receiver*, designing a system to prevent firing out of battery, and who knows what else before it's finished. If others wish to go this route, I would advise against it. I just don't know when to quite and stop tinkering.Gunslinger said:
* I haven't drilled and tapped anything in my receiver but the plan is to put four machine screws spaced evenly along the top of the "lower receiver" to add strength. Currently the only thing holding it on is the two 1/2" screws on the bottom front and back.

ya have a point but the svd sythetic doesent seem to have it.
The best way to keep it together (beside the 2 screws) is to reuse the original crosspin that locks the front of the receiver to the wood stock.Armedsask said:The problem with others doing this is there is no turning back.

Just remove it from your wood stock and install at precisely the same spot on your metal "lower receiver". My newest ones are built like this. The locking is rock solid.
You can see it on the pic just below the rear sight on the left side of the "lower receiver".
