After years of building AK products, we kept running into the same problem. Not once. Not twice. Over and over again. It didn’t matter if we were working on stocks, adapters, muzzle devices, handguards, optic mounting solutions, or something completely different. Eventually the conversation always found its way back to suppressors. If you’ve spent enough time around AKs, you’ve probably seen it yourself. Questions about mounting. Questions about alignment. Questions about shoul …

There’s a difference between throwing parts at a rifle and building with intent. Most Krink builds lean hard into nostalgia and aesthetics. This one? It solves real-world problems. We took a PSA .223 Krink and built a purpose-driven, suppressor-optimized platform that blends compact firepower with modern ergonomics. Here is the exact blueprint to bring the Krink into the modern era. 1. Why .223? (The Practicality Play) Let’s face it: traditional 5.45 and 7.62 options aren't what the …

Something big has been brewing at JMac Customs, and it’s finally ready to step out of the shadows. Born from a partnership between Richmond Tactical and JMac Customs, the Banka suppressor is the result of precision engineering, rugged design, and a shared passion for collaborative innovation. Forged in Collaboration What started as a simple component swap turned into a full-scale innovation. Richmond Tactical’s expertise in building met our drive for manufacturing excellence, and the …

For years, suppressing an AK has been like forcing a grizzly bear into a tuxedo. It’s messy, somebody’s getting hurt, and it definitely wasn't made to fit. We decided the Grizzly deserved a custom suit. Meet the Banka. It doesn’t just "fit" an AK—it speaks the language. Forged in a high-octane partnership between JMac Customs and the precision junkies at Richmond Tactical, the Banka is here to rewrite the Kalashnikov rulebook. No more compromise. No more "gas face." Just …

The newest additions to the JMAC Customs’ Combloc Division are here! We’ve now added a ribbed version of our birch laminate AK Pistol Grip and TAB Handstop. These share the same profile and finish with our previously released laminate AK Pistol Grips and TAB Handstops, however we’ve decided to offer a ribbed version for additional texture and aesthetic.  The Ribbed Pistol Grip and Handstop are crafted from birch laminate, which is the same material used on original Russia …

WELCOME TO JMAC’S VAULT! You’ve seen the parts, now see how I run them. We’re launching a brand new Video Blog series where I’m opening up my personal collection to show you the "why" behind every build, every prototype, and every scratch. First up: My Personal AK-105. This isn't a safe queen—it’s a battle-worn machine gun with a warped receiver that has survived years of demo abuse. But even a workhorse needs precision. Finding the perfect optic for your f …

There is a fine line between "modernizing" an AK and ruining its soul. Go too tactical, and you lose that rugged Combloc charm. Stay too purist, and you miss out on the ergonomic advancements of the last 70 years. Today, we are showcasing a brand new AK-105 build that walks that line perfectly. By combining the cutting-edge modularity of JMac Customs engineering with the nostalgic aesthetic of "Rusted Plum" wood, we’ve created a rifle that looks like a Cold War relic but runs like a 21st-c …

The Zastava M77 is a beast of a rifle. Chambered in the hard-hitting .308 Win (7.62x51), it occupies that sweet spot between a standard AK and a full-blown DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle). However, out of the box, the classic Yugo furniture can feel a bit dated for the modern shooter who wants to stretch the rifle's legs. Today, we’re breaking down a dream build that keeps the soul of the Combloc era alive while injecting serious modern performance. By using a suite of JMac Custo …

The Zastava M92 is legendary for a reason. As one of the most robust "krink-style" firearms on the market, it brings the reliability of the Yugo-pattern AK into a compact, hard-hitting package. However, out of the box, the M92 is a diamond in the rough. It lacks modern mounting solutions, optics capability, and ergonomic refinements. That’s where JMac Customs comes in. By stripping the M92 down and rebuilding it with JMac’s ecosystem of modular parts, we can transform this classic f …
