Bullpup Kit ona Romnian 'G' AK47
Quick Review with pictures

We had a chance to review and take pictures of a K-Var bullpup kit installed on a Romanian 'G'kit, using a NDS receiver

Here's the donor AK, a typical AKM (7.62x39) built from a Romanian 'G' parts kit. The AK47 bullpup kit fit right on to this AK47 with only two minor modifications to the final part, the front handguard. One to allow the bayo lug to stay on the rifle (under the handguard) and one to let the handguard fit tightly around the front sling loop (the kit is made for a Chinese AK47 without this type of loop)

These pictures won't win any prizes but they should help give you an idea what is involved in this quick (almost no tools) conversion . I took the pictures quickly as I was installing this bullpup kit so they are not all in focus

We didn't install the open sight extensions because the owner is planning to use an optic (red dot) mounted to the rail on the upper handguard (not included in the bullpup kit). That should work well, and look much nicer than the extended sight posts which would have been needed otherwise

It includes one page of instructions, both sides three column layout. A few parts diagrams only three pics total. So this is not exactly a snap together if you are not so mechanically inclined. I am so-so, never put one of these kits together, and had it together in about an hour, and I was interrupted a few times

The trigger group is US made, seems to be well made, a quality set of parts for sure. Only big difference is the trigger part is cut in two

The trigger operating wire threads through the handguard / trigger guard / pistol grip. This part took about two head scratches to get straight, and a bit of wiggling to manage to fit the tight plastic grip into the area under the trunnion and the receiver. The trigger hangs there and you slide a plastic pin through to keep it in place.

The lower handguard was a bit large, but with the universal AK47 tool (rubber mallet) it was easily installed with no modifications other than a tap or two

The kit was made for an AK without a bayonet lug ?? Ok maybe for a chinese type.. anyway, this was the first of only two minor mods I needed to make to the Ak47 bullpup kit

No way I was going to remove a bayonet lug.. ;) So I used a dremel to remove the plastic spur from each side of the handguard
