THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
My AKS-74U and Yugo M92 should be done soon, but for now, the AKM and AK74 are totally done now. I couldn't be happier really. They look great, and they shoot amazing. I'll have newer pictures once I grab a new camera.

I have normal bakelites and plum magazines as wel, but these pictures were taken with my 40 and 45 rounders. Like I said, I'll post newer different pictures. I just need to go to Best Buy and buy a new camera though, so these will do for now.

Russian 1969 AKM






Russian 1983 AK-74






Hope you enjoyed

Did the builder get the AKM running right? If so, what did they do to it? Just curious.. I remember you posting about it wouldn't feed right or something. Great looking rifles for sure. Wish I had the cash to buy those kits....

Yes they did actually. I'm very happy with it now. They replaced it with a new magazine catch.

Stunning!! I bet your so proud of your new babies! They are so gorgious... Its so cool to see such rare, off the beaten path kind of rifles not many people can say they have, but yet so functional and still relavent even in todays modern polymer railed world. I bet they weren't cheap either, what kind of barrels did you go with? Also, where does 74ullc put his information on the rifles? Are they both single hook triggers? Did you replace any american parts like the piston or anything or just less obtrusive stuff like follewers and stuff? Really looks cool, good job and way to preserve history of such important firearms in history. Cant wait to see all four together.

Thanks.

Barrels are Romanian for AKM and East german for AK74.

American parts are 3 for trigger group. 1 for receiver. 2 for magazine follower and floor plate.

Duracoat. It's my favorite for AKs bc it looks so much like factory.

The one that is being into a AKMSU exact clone should be started shortly. It's going to be around a year build, but no rush. Still gathering the last couple parts for it now.

I don't recall if you mentioned it in your previous thread, but who was the builder? I really dig your rifles.



p.s.

One can never have enough laminate!

Awesome builds collegeboy! I especially like the 1983 AK-74, and I'm looking forward to seeing your AKS-74U once it's completed.

haha. Nice editing job there

I thought about colorfilling, but for now I'm not going to. All black looks nice, and I honestly don't want to mess it up either. I'm really happy with how they look.

Firingline in OK. Good builder, and pretty cheap to be honest. Just had to make sure they knew exactly what I wanted done.
