So here's the build sheet:
Romanian 74 kit, Polish laminate wood, Tapco SAW style grip, Galil barrel, chopped to 13.5" with permanently attached 3" one piece muzzle booster made by me, Tapco Galil mags, piston made by me, akbuilder Polish 47 80% sheet metal, Texas trigger. Got a few bugs to work out, specifically smooth up transition from rail to trunnion, but managed a good run of 10-11 shots that auto loaded properly. Muzzle flash looks about double what my Norinco 84s does, but concussive blast at camera/shooter standpoint is much, much worse from the Norinco 84s-1 with the side ported brake I have. Overall it was a super fun day shooting! Anyway, here's the vid:
