No throught about reprofiling the barrel and getting/machining the forward strap loop?

Looks like you have parts enough in that kit to make both the original and somewhat updated basic AK5 model with the 2 different stocks and more universal tools than what you could shake a stick at.
From memory that AK5B cheek riser only fits the old style stock, lower one.
Heavy, but damn reliable. Plus, the weight is not really a problem for me (Do you even lift, bro? )

The relief cuts in the barrel actually help to reduce the weight, but if I wanted to do an original-profile barrel, I would have to have a custom one made, and that would cost beaucoup bucks.

I'm by no means going to be keeping everything there haha. I am waiting to get an Ak-5CF handguard. I can't wait for that one...
I believe you are correct - the cheek riser fits the older A/B stock and the FNC stock.
