I’ll be honest the inspiration for this build came from the JMAC GF5 burn down video, and if you still haven’t checked it out do it now!

Now that you’ve seen the capability of this platform let’s dive a little deeper on how I set this build up. Let’s start at the tip and work our way down to the tail! Front and center we have a user serviceable, multi caliber (30cal), titanium suppressor weighing in at a whopping 9.1oz from Anechoic! I have that mounted to the tried-and-true JMAC 360HD x37 in a 14-1LH thread pitch. Next to that we have a Cloud Defensive REIN weapon mounted light with 1,250 lumens and 100k candela allowing you to identify targets at close range and out to 300+ yards. Sitting on the other side of the light we have a QD sling mount attached to an Arid A.R.S. Mod 1 sling to keep that kalash slung close or for added stability when shooting further distances. For added grip and eye-popping aesthetics Levtech crafted some 5000+ year old Bog Oak panels found at the bottom of a swamp in Ukraine. On bottom I’m running the Skeletonized Forward Grip x Hand Retention Device combo helping to achieve the best grip and maximize recoil reduction. We have all that secured to the Mlok compatible free float MMS handguard dipped in the luxurious Gucci Green! Working our way back to the mid-section we have a Lead & Steel Promethean LP-1 red dot optic paired with an Eotech G33 magnifier for those long-range shots. You may be asking how in the world do you have that optic setup on an AK and I’m glad you asked! JMAC Customs designed a 1913 dust cover assembly that works in conjunction with the MMS handguard. It’s packed full of features from a proprietary locking system that holds zero every time it’s opened and closed to a two-piece rear mount securely locking into the rear trunnion. Also, a part of the Modular Mounting System I’m running the 7.62 Magwell for lickity split reloads! Behind that we’ve got the Skeletonized Pistol Grip designed to give the shooter ergonomic control of their firearm with a more natural contour. Moving to the back of the kalash I opted to upgrade this build to a folder with the 1913 adapter and 1913 folding mech. Then to tie up the tail end of things of course we must run the Skeletonized Triangle Stock for that extra clean look! I hope this blog inspires and helps you to create your own EPIC kalash build!
