So when you go from a 16&#8243; bbl to a 12.5&#8243; like the one found on the PSA AK-104 you only roughly lose 100 fps (around 2200 fps). Not bad.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>As far as accessories go I am a minimalist. I would not bother with the TDI Dogleg rail if you are running an Ultimak. Mount a solid budget friendly red dot like a Holosun or Primary Arms Mico scout style and a light mount and call it a day. (If you wanted to mount a rear optic, using a quality side rail mount would be more stable IMO than the TDI Dogleg.)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>All the other stuff like the Charging Knob from TDI you can leave off. I *might* try the hand stop by Slate Black Industries and of course a Standard 2 Point Blue Force Gear AK Sling in Coyote Brown.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>The only variable for me on this gun is the stock or brace. I have a few ideals but I am going to have to wait until I have the gun in my hands to make a decision. When I built my <a href=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/02\/the-hcs-co-yugo-m92-ak-47-pistol\/\">M92<\/a> I used a spacer from <a href=\"https:\/\/rapidfiretek.com\/\">RFT<\/a> that worked really nice with the SB-47 brace. That would be a great alternative to installing an AR adjustable brace IMO.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>The <a href=\"https:\/\/definitivearms.com\/product\/definitive-arms-fighter-brake-24mm\/\">Definitive Arms Fighter Brake <\/a>Muzzle device looks decent but I will most likely run either a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cncwarrior.com\/default.asp\">CNC Warrior<\/a> Krink Booster or Night Brake.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Stay Tuned for Torture Test and Other Reviews of the PSA AK-104 by The Tactical Hermit.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5368\" src=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/akman-e1439577533785.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"175\" height=\"131\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-54506\" src=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/06\/ak88.jpg?w=620\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"554\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(FYI: I found this guy&#8217;s YT channel by complete accident and just a disclaimer, I have no relationship to or with him.
