ok new mags in for the waiting ones, I have an idea for these like a special edition gauge mag not unlike the ol’ mam mags. My way of saying thank you. OK, Ive dm’d a few ppl and will get to some more of yall, Ive been scrambling all week busy af trying to keep my head above water but I’ll do better. Thanks all who still support me ❤️ The current objective is still to try and get established up here, I knew it would be hard af and that’s basically an understatement. 😎👊 #custommags #aklife #kalash @ aoa thx for the great service

ok guys new update. Not much has changed other than Im stable and have a place to stay. Its going ok on all fronts besides the main issues with being behind on orders and dm’s/comms. I am sorry I know some ppl are pissed. And I dont have an excuse just trying to get back to everything and everyone. This move had been a bitch and I had a but of a collapse in July and Im working my way back up. Thanks to all of you who supported me. If you can hold on a little longer I’d appreciate it. If not I understand

Update, 3 weeks of journey and closer to getting a place/set up. Will be able to do refunds and individual updates soon. This has been hellish and balls to the wall and very expensive with things just falling in place amazingly but barely making it. But Im here, and orders/comms/ things are very delayed. I’ll have some work stuff heading up here soon but in the meantime I’m going to do a special batch of mags like the mam for anyone waiting on orders who isnt doing refunds/can wait. I’ll focus on existing orders left and do not know when I can do new orders. Im still finding a place and living like a hobo, with my fam, but its all good I think it will all work out and be better than ever. Thank you guys. Im sorry for lack of comms I’ll get back to each of you. Please bare with me, it means alot to me. 🙏 #alaska

My first “custom” project M92 carbine with folding rpk stock. “Bubba Pass” is what I named her. I used an @stormwerkz hinge and modified a stock adapter as a combo and drilled the back to bolt on. Also used a stormwerkz rail on the dust cover. A cnc warrior muzzle extension pinned and welded. I also had to make my own yugo dong, I didnt know anywhere to buy one so I obtained a cut off dong from someone lol and fit it/shellac’s it. The grip was ordered from someone on the ak files its a thin yugo m76 style. This was before cheese graters were a big thing besides the old chinese ones so I had to make my own from a spray paint can lol. I let this one go to finance my ak74 and the buyer actually undid my work and sold off the parts lmao. But it was my first trye venture into one off theme builds and was fun af. Something about just messing around in the garage and shed man, and sharing your work with a community thats what its all about. Dont keep your ideas locked in your head make it happen

Big news Gents. I never thought I’d get a just VA rating… but I found out Im to be awarded 100% Dis w/ T&P eligibility 😭 😵 Ive been struggling w/ several serious health issues -I wanted to give up. I broke down after hearing this. Thank you all for your support! I had so many L’s this was make or break. For the last year I started a journey forward to exit the fire service as my health sank. Got pretty bad year after year, I could no longer go on like this. Rather than go to a dark place, I got treatment with the VA and put in several claims related to my service and the pact act. At the same time I took a leap of faith and applied to UAF Fairbanks, AK where I was previously stationed in the USAF -Eielson AFB. Well, I lucked out and got accepted into grad school, full ride with a teaching scholarship in fine art, ceramics. With the VA rating I’ll be able to attend for certain. Bad Element Co was born while I was in art school doing my bachelors after I left the AF. Ive been only able to work part time most days and have fallen behind. Old BE is pretty sick but I have a will to live. What does this mean going forward? I will be focusing on my health mainly and reconnecting with my fam. I cantvtake on new projects, while I get caught up on orders- then focus on school and part time teaching and my health. This is a new chapter not the end tho. BE will still be moving forward on what I always talked about, my ffl and a shop. I want to leave behind a positive legacy and do my creations and your collabs too. I aim now higher and advance towards bullpups and my mad max creations like the pakler n coke build. I have never stayed in one place or had a single focus. There are some things I need to do before I die, not that Im saying Im dying rn but it sure has felt like it for a while bois. I wont go away for good and I’ll never give up. I appreciate all your support and friendship its been a crazy ride. This one goes out to those who didnt make it and to those still fighting for compensation, treatment and recognition. Stay the course brothers and sisters. Happy 4h of July🙏🙏🙏

AK’s on acid 😎👌korobov was a huge inspiration to me and in another ‘verse he beat Kalashnikov in the competition that led to the ak47. Korbov’s creations werent ak’s but his own wild ideas, too bad he never had similar success as Mr Kalash. I made a similar post on r/retrofuturism and was instantly deleted lmao. more: “Korobov was born in 1913 in Samara, Russia. After schooling in 1939, he worked at the TsKB-14 factory in Tula. He died in 2006. Designs Korobov is well known for having designed many prototype firearms with highly unusual and unorthodox designs. His numerous prototypes include the TKB-059, a three-barreled experimental assault rifle, and the TKB-408, a bullpup assault rifle meant to compete with the AK-47. While these weapons looked and felt rather promising, none of his weapons ever entered any form of service with the Russian Army; most, if not all, of these weapons can be now seen at the Weapons Museum at the Tula Kremlin.”- gunwiki (guns.fandom)
