I recently acquired an ACC/INTRAC RPM Maadi and wanted to get advice/opinions from the pros.
It is partially spray painted green and the paint is not in great condition. There is also a lot of overspray inside the receiver. Question #1 - Can I strip the green without stripping what is under it? Is it worth it to go to the work to strip the overspray off of the internals? http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i344/bugboy449/maadi001_zpsdf733cbb.jpg http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i344/bugboy449/maadi014_zps5ffcb0f8.jpg It has a cheesey pistol grip on it. What is a good affordable replacement? It seems like Egyptian furniture is expensive or unavailable. http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i344/bugboy449/maadi013_zps22e32d04.jpg The handguards appear to be incorrect as well. These are solid wood, not laminated. http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i344/bugboy449/maadi011_zps4636d9ef.jpg The barrel is threaded and has a thread protector. I was thinking of putting on a slant brake or other device,,, suggestions? http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i344/bugboy449/maadi008_zps16a72721.jpg It does not have a cleaning rod with it. Are these available somewhere? Seems like everything I find is for 16". Any input/info is appreciated. I've been through all the posts in the "Egyptian" section and quite a few in the AK section. This is my first AK but I did have an SKS and have an AR with an extra 6.5 upper. Having an AR and an AK,,,,,, does that mean I'm "bi-gun-ual"? |
