Hello all I am new and glad to be here. I have just made a new addition to my rifle family and I was wondering if anybody could help me better identify my Maadi AKM. Here are some screen shots

It is a James River conversion so it seems but I was wondering if anybody had anymore info they can give me that I may have missed out on by reading a great article above. Exactely how many US parts are in this rifle? It shoots really great and it is in great condition and I am happy to have it nonetheless but I would like to make it more authentic so I will gladly take suggestions and pointers.

Thank you all. I will be here for a while :)

Well the fine etched characters is James River Armory in Russian. Why they did that is beyond me, considering I am Ukrainian and I find that none authentic at all but I am trying to see if anybody could assist me figuring out what those arabic characters stand for.

The rifle it self seemed to shoot upwards right today when I was aiming at dead center standing up. Kneeling down aiming slightly lower left hit the target dead on. Interesting.
