Real of Fake?
Updated: January 9th, 2013
A reader emailed in this photo he found on internet of an AK purportedly modified to a pistol configuration. Do you think this is real or fake? My money is on fake.
UPDATE: It appears to be real! See the comments below.
[ Many thanks to Dave for emailing in the photo. ]
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

It could be real.
But this gun have extremely short barrel just enough to cover the bullet tip.
Extremely unsale
idc. if its real or fake! IF it is real then it is useless. IF it isnt then it needs to stay that way, instead of someone ruining a perfectly good gun and making it a noisy paperweight
