I know, I fail for lack of toe.

Great examples so far from the rest.

Dude, you make me look at your NDM-86 avatar all day long while I impatiently wait for mine to show up at my dealer, then you keep posting other sweet AK's I want but can't afford at the moment. I'm dying for an SGL31 right now.. need a 74 for the collection.

I seriously hate you

Man, I really don't mean to torture you with that small little avatar, that's pretty messed of up me.

Here's the fullsize:

Congrats on your NDM...remember, no matter how bad it is waiting, soon those photo's will be you

Breathtaking....

Is this wood from the guy in England?

The one on the left is from Rusmilitary yes, the one on the right was refnished by NACHTJAGER from theakforum. Not a perfect match to the typical color, but then again no one has ever seemed to get that right anyway. His set has a little bit more red which is what I after. He did a fantastic job, particularly on the HG's. (PG is original finish from a different source)

As much as I like the camo you did on that rifle, I think this version just looks nicer.

I agree actually but the classic look didn't feel right on a 7.62...I guess it's because the UR ships in all black poly and by defination is a modern AK rather than old school traditional, so proper furniture and bakelite mags actually feels out of place to me.
That being said I am really considering another 5.45 to go pure traditional, maybe even 'authentic' clone

But for pure looks, yeah I agree the laminate smokes the camo paint job...right up til you get a scratch on the wood lol
