Hi,

Funny you should ask. I had this conversation with our own ASC Myles about a month ago and asked exactly these two questions about the silencer and extending the barrel to increase the FPS.

I suggest you contact Myles directly. The gist of our conversation was the extended barrel changes the internal dynamics of the gun. Therefore, if you do, there are internal changes to be seriously considered.

As well, I had contact with someone who had done this type of modification by extending an AK47 from 455 to 650 (Don't quote me on this, been a while). Whatever max barrel length you can buy. See tables.

He advised me he made several changes to acommodate the longer barrel length. If I can find this correspondance I will send it to you. He is based in the eastern USA and a member of this website. If you're lucky you may hear from him. He did a beautiful job on the upgrade. Made a monster AK if I ever saw one.

Long story short. Little bit of information available to me suggests it is doable, but do your homework first. Which you are doing now.

For myself. At this time I elected not to pursue this experiment. I have an AK74, AK47 and M4. Right now there are other irons in the fire. Possibly later. Good luck. Let us know what you do.

Regards,
