I then held the grip nut in place with one hand and installed the Molot Gen II using one of my heavy duty grip screws (they have a bigger head and are an alloy hardened to 12.9) to secure the grip.

To install it, I then removed the dust cover (you will need to hold the grip nut in place later), took out the recoil spring assembly, unscrewed the original grip and removed it. I may yet go to the ARM-9 but the Molot Gen II feels pretty good. I thought about using a Bulgarian ARM-9 but decided a Russian designed grip made more sense on a Russian gun вЂ“ or at least it made sense to me. Next, I cast, drilled and finished a black Molot Generation II grip for the rifle. I then threaded the RRD-4C on and was done in just a few minutes. To install it, I pushed the spring loaded detent to release the muzzle nut and then turned it clock wise for removal вЂ“ AKs are reverse threaded so you do the opposite to remove or install them. With the top opened up, the gasses will vent up pushing the barrel down. He shipped fast and the quality of the machining and finish are excellent. We talked about my desire for a good brake and he recommended his RRD-4C which comes with the required 14mm x 1mm left hand thread. I wanted a good muzzle brake so I reached out to Justin McMillion at JMac Customs. So, I decided to go ahead and make some changes right up front. I used a Romy for the photos in this post. I bought a bunch of rock solid Romanian steel mags years ago and thatвЂ™s my go-to magazine for reliability and looks. It shipped with a tiny 5 round magazine but at least it is a double stack. I may make a polymer version of the Russian wood originals вЂ“ itвЂ™s something IвЂ™ll need to think about. I get that it would help with insulation on a full-auto RPK but I find the ribs annoying. IвЂ™m also not a huge fan of the ribbed RPK handguard. Things I donвЂ™t like вЂ“ the folder hinge is going to make installing an optic rail interesting, the grip is way too small for my hands (Gee, I know a guy who makes grips that will fit). As usual, Molot did a great job вЂ“ fitment is excellent, heavy 1.5mm RPK receiver, heavy barrel, RPK recoil spring guide rod, pretty good trigger and cool folding stock. So, I rushed and ordered one from Classic Firearms and had it delivered to my FFL, Scott Igert of Modern Antique Firearms. IвЂ™d not bought one earlier because I didnвЂ™t see the need to rush вЂ“ then the Treasury blocked them and that caused me to pull the trigger. IвЂ™ve owned a number of Molot Veprs over the years so I knew I would be getting a quality rifle. Well, the when I heard the Treasury Department blocked further importation of Veprs, I jumped and bought the FM-AK47-21 that FIME imported.
