THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT 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....

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.

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

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! |

Would look badass |

I'm really happy with how they look. |
