Greetings all...
This is my first post on NES -- just joined after receiving my LTC-A with T&H restriction in October. Used that to purchase a sweet Ruger 1911 which I'm very happy with, but that's not why I'm posting.
I also have a Norinco MAK-90, stamped receiver with rear slant-cut. It has literally sat in the closet for just about twenty years, at which point I pulled it out, brought it to the range and fell in love all over again. So now that the warm feelings for my rifle are again strong, I'm looking into making some modifications to it. More specifically, I'm thinking to do the following:
1) TWS Dog Leg Scope Rail, Gen II
http://texasweaponsystems.com/id1.html
2) Slide Fire stock

(reading some posts re: slant-cut Norincos, I thought I might need the following to make it work, though it looks to need some dremel love to fit properly)
3) VEPR Receiver Block
http://riflestocks.com/store/product33.html
So that's the idea. Now the questions:
1) Is this dumb stuff to want to do to an AK?
2) Anyone have experience with making the Dogleg and SlideFire play together? Bonus points if it's on a MAK-90...
3) I know that I run into 922r compliance issues once I remove that awful thumbhole stock. I'm hoping someone can look at my dream list and just say "Well, your list is 3 US-made parts already, so once you replace uppers/lowers and add the TWS rear peep-sight, there's your 6 compliance parts right there." I know just enough about this topic to get in trouble, but not enough to avoid it.
I figured I would ask folks who know more than I do, before I start ordering things off the web. In the end, I just want a solid, dependable rifle. Can the NES community give me some pointers so I don't end up regretting not just leaving it in original config? Thanks in advance -- looking forward to your responses.
