>Talk me out of building a Midwest alpha AK
No wood furniture = ugly as sin. Don't blow money away trying to turn an AK into an AR, you'll just end up hating yourself for it, just get a Zastava instead (a Mid West industries side mount optics rail is fine however).
Either that or appease your autism in some other way like getting into shotgun skeet or competitive precision shooting with a bolty boi in tree-ol-hate 6.5 sneedmoor or 300winmag if your fine with massacring your shoulder.

If all else fails just go fishing.
