    Welcome to the club!

    I chose to make mine a KISS carbine. I'm really wanting to SBR it.

    Just out of curiousity, are you going to completely replace the FSB and rear sight in order to install these "ft & rear night sights hopefully with ghost rings." ?

    The Draco uses standard Euro AK front sight pins and rear sight assemblies. Don't they make ghost rings for standard AK rear sights? I'm pretty sure you can just replace the front pin with a tritium one. I know mepro makes a tritium AK front sight pin.

    On doing a trigger job, don't is my advise. These AK pistols are real easy to double tap with even with stock triggers and they muzzle climb like virtually nothing else I've fired. Very easy to shoot over a berm on an accidental double tap with one of these. You get a round out of a range, it could have serious negative consequences.

    Peep is one thing, Ghost Ring is another. Ghost Ring+ Hooded Front Sight screams "PITA" to me. Peep might be a bit different, though tbh I find the hooded front sight and a T-1 combo to be very cluttered. Cluttered enough that I've thought about pressing it off and replacing it with something else.

    I always thought ghost rings and peep sights were the same.

    That's why I put a Bulgy FH on mine. Recoil is minimal and barrel rise is almost nothing.

    Yes they are, then again it seems most of these companies are. AAC's black out hider is $99 bucks if you want the model that can take a suppressor. Noveske KX3 Flash Hider hiders are $125 but they are supposed to be very effective to kill flash on SBR type weapons and large handguns.

    TO me "Ghst Ring" has always applied to larger aperture shotgun type sights. Designed for quick acquisition at the cost of precision, ideal for up close. Something you'd see on a shotgun, for instance. "Peep", again to me, applies in general to rifles and in more specific cases uses a smaller aperture for more precise work.

    Not attempting to be banal, but this is what happens when people use the terms interchangeably.

    922r doesn't apply to handguns, even AK handguns. My flash hider is US made but thats just cause I found it for like 7 bucks. Surpisingly, the barrel flip does seem subdued even though my muzzle device is so small.

    Actually if you SBR it it's title II weaponary then. 922r only applies to title I weapons.
