Yep, a Condor Speedy, backordered from OpsGear.Originally Posted by Jeff82
Also, a muzzle brake is in works.
Most likely Phantom style, but FSC47, J-Tac47 and AK-74 2-pc being considered.

Re: AK build in .223 saga began
From what you listed I'd go with the FSC model. If threads match wouldn't you want 5.56 (FSC5.56) version?
Also, a comp I use on my CAR-15 is the Jet Comp by D.R. Middlebrooks. http://www.tacticalshooting.com/store Scroll to the bottom. 2nd item up. And it works too! Tap Tap Tippy Tap!!! Just like shooting a .22LR. Hold on upper chest and put as many rounds as you want into the target.

Thank you, Brother!
There is a fine line somewhere...there,.. where I should stop building and start enjoying it.
Someday...

Brother, you didn't think this is a "Ken and Barbie" rifle; didn't ya?
This thingy was shootable (and been shot) right out of the cheap-ass carton box (spare the receiver porn on page 1).
Seriously, sweetest rifle!
Reliable like Swiss watch and soft as cloud.
Goes "Bang!" each and every time trigger is pulled.
Took HD video today at the Range; will post once converted.

Re: AK build in .223 saga began
Went to the range and tested compensator/optics combo.
Recoil and muzzle jump are more of the .22-cal grade.
I shot a video (need to compress from Blu-Ray; will post soon) and was watching it in desbelief how well muzzle stays on target.
I haven't noticed additional noise from compensator, and guys on both sides were shooting .357 slabnose and .308 Saiga.
I am one happy camper!
After setting it at 25 yards, I moved to 50 at put it onto "Dirty Bird" (below; elbow rest).
No BS: lowest 6 is a flyer from jerking the trigger (after .357 went off on my left).
