I like the melt job on your 27. Did you do that yourself?
I ended up with a PF9 due to how thin and light it is, and the true DAO trigger. 7+1 is nice too.

I'm in CA so carrying IWB isn't even a possibility. Definitely something to consider though for when I move out of the state.
I did all the work on it myself. Mainly flushed the barrel with the slide and really crowned at eleven degrees then polished. I also flushed the recoil assembly with the slide. Not really an ideal setups as it isn't contained when I take it apart but it isn't a problem. I keep the stock one in my bag just in case. I also have a Brooks Tactical A Grip around the grip. The stock backstrap is way too aggressive, especially with the snappy. 40

What are the CC laws in CA? I know you can only carry 10 rounds in any given mag which is ridiculous.

In preparation for a possible optics setup I want to go ahead and get rid of my carry handle (BOUNCEHOUSE420, still interested?) and get a folding rear sight. I have a standard front fixed sight. See here.
After a bit of reading I am leaning toward this Troy piece.

Any opinions or other recommendations?

Troy is tops when it comes to folding sights.
These are the ones I am going to go with when I get my AR: http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetactical/Detail.bok?no=104

AK: Milled vs Stamped
I have both and I like both. Milled looks amazing, but to me isn't very AK-ish. Original AK: "AK-47 1948–51, 7.62x39mm – The very earliest models, with the Type 1 stamped sheet metal receiver, are now very rare." So to me stamped is where its at, thats how they were meant to be/designed for.
Milled AKs are very heavy. They don't shoot any better or run any better. The BCG is smoother, but that doesn't effect the functionality.
If it were my build, I would not waste the money on a milled receiver, unless you wanted a Russian type 2 clone. I would get a flat receiver with the holes in it and bend it yourself, or just get a bent one and buy a parts kit.
But if you want the best deal, buy a Saiga in your caliber of choice. I like 5.45x39! Then convert it! Saigas are made in the same factory that the original Aks were made in, you just have to take out some pins, move the trigger group forward, and put in a new bullet guide.
Let me know if you have questions
Got a new box.

Whaaaat?
I gotta see this... what did you use as a base, and what was the end result?
I've been thinking about picking up a Springfield Armory Mil-Spec 1911 as a base for a custom build, though nothing too crazy (extended thumb safety/slide catch, beavertail grip safety, Novak sights, etc.) It's just that they're hard to find... and at their price/rarity, I could get a PX series for a little more, with all the bells and whistles. It's small things that make me want to do a custom (I'm not into forward cocking serrations.) If I do go custom, I'm probably going stainless... it's less hassle than having to re-parkerize if any milling takes place.
I've also been wanting to do an AR build, but that shit gets real pricey really quick. What lower did you find? I'm hoping to save enough for a LaRue Tactical billet lower, though that's a long way off.
