БИЗОН / Project 9×19
An S&T Bizon parts-kit build on the AK-V platform.
// KTT Armory // Build Series Vol. 1 live //
The iron behind the brand.
Twenty-plus years across Army and civilian AR use, five custom AR builds, and two decades of clay sports. Four personal projects now anchor the KTT Armory Build Series: the S&T Bizon, S&T Gepard, VZ 61 Skorpion, and the current AK-102.
Quick brief.
The Armory is a personal project archive behind KTT's decorative Build Series. It is not a firearm, parts, ammunition, transfer, specification, or gunsmithing-services catalog.

The gunsmith journey.
Two decades of running and building rifles, then a hard left into the AK — and lately, into the receiver itself.

Two decades on the AR
Army and civilian. Twenty-plus years running the AR-15 / M4 — and building five of my own, from 16-inch carbines to 7.5-inch pistols. Modular assembly down cold.

First AK in the safe
Branched off the AR world into the Kalashnikov — a different design language and a different philosophy. Started putting real rounds and real time behind the platform.

Growing the AK collection
A 1984 Polish milsurp AKM, Stuff & Things builds, and PSA's AK-V and AK-102 — learning each one's quirks, what runs, and how they differ from the rifle I grew up on.

Hands in the receiver
AR building is modular — parts go together. AK building is a different craft: detail strips, fire-control groups, and the riveting and headspacing that make a receiver a rifle. This is the year I started learning it for real.

// The Why //
Known platforms, new craft.
The AR, the shotgun, the pistols — those are dialed in. Twenty-plus years apiece on the rifle and the clays, a carry-and-range rotation I trust, and five ARs I built myself.
But AR building is modular — parts go together. Receiver and parts-kit work are a different craft: riveting, pressing, fitting, and headspacing correctly. The completed VZ 61 and Bizon / AK-V files show that learning path with real bench and field evidence. The rest of the safe is the foundation it stands on.
