Polish grenade launching Kbkg60 - a potential project of mine...

[Quarterbore]

Here is a PDF Page from a website that had a very good overview of the Polish Kbkg wz. 1960 Grenade launching rifles. I saved it as a PDF as too many of the references I had posted have been removed and now some of that info has been lost

See: http://www.quarterbore.com/images/po...kg_wz_1960.pdf

Note that the details below are out of date (as of 2010) but I lack full details to update all of this at this moment too!

WANT TO BUY.... Need for this Project Still

Becuase this post is getting out of control I thought I would relist the last items I need for this project....

1. Straps that hold the rubber boot to the Stock
2. Left side assembly for the gas block (plus hint on the proper detents and springs would be nice)
3. I will need parts to get 922(r) compliance


On to the Project and Review


I am still trying to learn how to build stamped AKs and my time is so limited but I have been adding a few misc parts to my parts bin and now I have two of the biggest parts that I need to make a grenade-launching Polish PMK (Kbkg60) clone...

Here is an image of the Kbkg60 rifle:

Here are some links with more info:

Here we can study the interesting design of the standard Polish spigot type rifle grenade launcher, as issued with the PKM rifle. This rifle was issued with a gas cutoff switch, seen on the gas block. Launcher will thread to standard 14x1 LH threaded muzzles.





Here is an excellent example of the two primary grenade launching sights used on the Polish PMK-DGN-60 and PMKM equipped for rifle grenade applications. The sight at top, which mounts to the host rifle's rear sight base, is part of the Kbk-g Wz 1960 package, while the lower item is the barrel mounted sight for the Kbk-g Wz 1960/72 system.

Attached is a drawing of the left side of this rifle (shows the gas block)
(Image attached in case original site deletes or removes it...)

I originally purchased the gas block thinking that I might try a subsonic load or 300 Whisper AK where I need adjustable gas flow... see http://www.quarterbore.net/forums/showthread.php?t=517

Update.. I was looking into these guns and parts and Buddy from http://www.sturmgewehr.com e-mailed me and indicated he had one of the Recoil Boots for sale... My lucky day so I grabbed it as soon as I got the e-mail:

I still need to find the following:
1. Grenade launcher muzzle device
2. Some type of milled kit for the build
3. Need to find or make the back side for the gas block (missing the retaining plate) and I really need a pic to help me make a replacement assuming I can't buy one.

I just found a pretty good image that shows the boot as well as the grenade launcher attachment (POSTED AS A LINK AS IMAGE IS HUGE!)
