Replace top handguard rail with cheesegrater style

Recently picked up an akm with the rail style top handguard. Would really prefer swapping it out with the cheesegrater style, but looking at it doesn't seem to be a 1:1 swap. The AK cheesegrater available through PSA is too short and the railed akv doesnt have the the band gas tube/barrel band anyways. After doing a quick disassemble, couldn't even figure out how to get the top handguard off. Suggestions?

Could the tri-lug be the cause?

I have a YHm R9 on my AKV attached via tri-lug. Prior to that I had a direct thread AAC Tirant45 suppressor (granted it was a much longer suppresser) which sounded amazing. 147 grains sounded like 22lr. So I ended up putting a R9 via a tri-lug mount, and honestly…it sounds like shit with 115, 124, and 147. At best I could get off 5 rounds with 147gr before I have to throw some earpro on.

Is it the suppressor or is it just the tri-lug mounting method? Anyone else out there throw some rounds down range with a R9?

There are many like it but this one is my own

Decided I'd be bold and try and just paint one myself. Never have I done a paint project like this before and I feel like it came out alright 😁

My gas tube moves around way too much. Anybody know if this is normal? I’m new to this stuff.

Also my charging handle has gotten gritty af to pull back since installing the new gas tube. I’ve disassembled and cleaned the rifle a few times and it’s harder to pull back now than when I first bought it. I was told not to file down my trigger to prevent the rubbing.

Last minute VA ban purchase

My last “assault firearm” before the ban here in VA, loving the voodoo wood and can’t wait to get some rounds through it!
