Finished up an AK-63D build. Just need to refinish it and it's done. Also bent two AMD-65 flats, one for a mint original barrel kit I picked up last month, and one for an AK-63D kit I'm going to build into a side folder.

You have to show us those when you finish. Are you going to SBR the AMD65?
As for me, I sold my SA85M with the front end kit for making it an AK63 and I bought a SIG 556R. I'm very happy with that deal. I grew weary of the whole AK thing but strangely still love the AMD65. The SIG came with a micro red-dot, but I put a SIG CP-4 4X scope on it. I put a Strike 2 rear sight rail on the AMD65 so I could use the micro dot on it. Sighted it in for 50 yd zero and the rail remained securely attached (Loctite). The SIG sighted in at 100 with Golden Tiger pretty good but I left my damn sandbags at home and had to improvise a rest out of my range bag. It sucked, so I have to go back and do it right, but at least I'm close enough that I put the rifle 'in-service' if a need arose that required it.

I gave up on trying to find a trench-art Yugo stock to match my hand guards, so instead I went looking for an M70AB2 to get around my little problem.

I ended paying too much for one because it already had a nice set of trench-art hand guards, which does nothing to solve my problem. That of course required me to pick up a matching-numbers bayonet , a sling, and some paracord. Next on the list is a new set of tritium vials for the night sights.

I won't even get into how many Yugo mags or cases of x39 I've bought in the last month!

I finished them up. I ended up using a Romy G kit as the donor kit for the side folder build. Not SBRing the AMD, I used an AK Buolder extended brake to get over 16". Test fired and they all work, the AMD is a blast to shoot. Now just gotta media blast them, and moly resin them. I'll post some pics when I get them all finished.

I received my approved Form 1 back for my M92 SBR build on July 29th. Refinished the stock furniture with some red mahogany stain and clear polyurethane; just waiting for the gun to come back from the engraver so I can install the folding stock.

Today, I zeroed in my Yugo M70AB2 at 100 yards. Does this count as AK related?

OOOO, post pics and a how-to, if possible.

I swapped out the OEM stock on my WASR for a black "NATO" length stock from Arsenal. I prefer the longer LOP.

Apart from that? I've shot it, bought some mags/ammo, inventoried mags/ ammo (which didn't take nearly as long as I'd hoped).

I aslo spent some time staring at my budget/bank statement trying to make an RS Regulate optic mount and an Aimpoint PRO happen but so far no luck. Weddings and honeymoons be 'spensive, yo.

Got my Form 1 back in June for a SLR-106UR conversion and got that finished in July.

Filed a Form 1 last week for a SLR-104UR conversion. Shipped my old SAR-1 out to have a 24mm FSB put on.

I have a virgin Russian RPK stock set sitting on my work table that needs fit to my AES-10B so that's probably next. I hate fitting wood stocks.

Bought a used Maadi found dirty in a lgs for $300. They didn't know what it was someone painted it black with spray paint. Not pretty but thanks to the power of the internet on the phone I determined it is a 94 model and now 922R compliant. Just have to get the barrel threaded and zeroed. Pictures later.

Could be original, Maadi's had pretty bad paint finish when new.

Magpul AK Grip. I prefer them over the US Palm.

Trading mags, bought a set of Lee 5.45 reloading dies and a 5.45 bullet resizing die - since cheap ammo is gone

Mounted a MagPul MOE rail to my AMD-65 handguard and installed the Magpul RVG and a MagPul pistol grip. Feels much better now.

Added an UltiMAK rail to my old reliable Maadi MISR-SA, along with a PA MD-06 microdot and a US PALM pistol grip.

Got an East German adjustable rear sight leaf that I'm thinking about installing, but this rifle is dead on for windage and elevation, so I reckon I'll just leave it alone for now.

I'm sorting through my mountain of AK stuff and finding shit I didn't know I still had. It's kinda like Communist Christmas!

Found twenty Chinese bakelites stashed in green canvas five mag Chicom pouches the other day, and found my Bosnian Fleur de Lis mag.

Life is good.

Got a Maadi at LGS for a song, but had to clean up quite a bit and still have work to do but will be a good gun I know in my heart it will shoot .5 MOA. I get to determine what minute of ashtray that will be and how big the ash tray is.

Early model but not threaded yet!!!

Ordered some New Bulgarian poly mags…and shopping for a new VEPR. Searching for information on doing the high capacity conversion. The guide isn't an issue, but mag modification is my area of confusion.

Due to a mixup on Gunbroker, I started layaway on not one, but TWO Century M70 Underfolders.

Can't have too many AKs.

Gonna need a bigger garbage can, though...
