[mammynun]

Yeah, I know it's not a long gun but most ppl seem to want to SBR them... I'm not sure where this should go. Mods move as necessary!

Romanian AK Draco Mini 7.62x39 caliber handgun.

Looks like that would make a sweet SBR.

Thanks for the link! I think I need to add one of these to my toy box.

Thanks for the link. Looks like they are $60-$70 more than a standard draco. I noticed these are assembled by Century. I think I'll wait till the 1500 so I can look them over first.

Anybody make a better handguard that looks more AK like?

$50 shipping

$50 shipping

Yeah, but it's a pistol so it has to go air. Even so, that's a lot for shipping....

$50 shipping

I saw the price thinking ok not bad...then this

 

[Psode27]

I wish I never saw this! May have to make more room in the safe! The shipping does kinda put a damper on things, although you would be hard pressed to find a heavier handgun than a Draco!

The only thing that I don't like is that it appears not to use standard handguards and I don't care for the handguard that it comes with.

 

[2ADMNLOVER]

Any law against turning a Draco into one of these ?

Ow, WOW, thats a lot for shipping!!

That's a major screwing on shipping. I have had an engine block shipped from Florida for the same price. I believe the large oversized box from USPS only costs 15 bucks for up to 75lbs. Why give these idiots your business?

I've dubbed the Mini Draco's front handguard "the hot dog bun". Please help make the name stick.

Guys, keep in mind that handguns are required to be shipped overnight, via UPS. The Draco and Mini Draco are not lightweight, and the shipping includes insurance.
Comparing J&G's shipping charge to a USPS Priority flat rate box is apples/oranges. $50 seems like a lot, but shipping overnight isn't nearly as cheap as ground shipping.

Guys, keep in mind that handguns are required to be shipped overnight, via UPS.

I don't believe that's correct. FFL's can ship through the U.S. mail. Ive had my FFL ship pistols for less than $25.00 including the transfer fee. UPS, and Fedex, came up with that overnight shipping deal on their own. The thinking was if it goes overnight the package wouldn't go astray in their hubs.

 

[TREETOP]

My mistake. My research was done based on an individual sending a handgun to a dealer/distributor/manufacturer, not from one FFL to another.
Looks like you're correct.
Additionally, it turns out J&G ships rifles via UPS and handguns via FedEx. They use UPS or FedEx 2-day air for handguns which is still more costly than USPS Priority.
