Received the left over funds for this semester of school..........

Got it at Dunhams, it was on sale for $379.99, just got done cleaning the hell out of it

Should be fun, thinking about staining the wood and finishing it, any suggestions?

Here is a quick slap together shot after I finished cleaning the wood:

Amazing how much crap was in the wood, used a acetone soak, with bake time in the oven at 175 degrees, light sanding with 220, and then 0000 steel wool.

just put on a coat of the finish!

Now (if it were me) I'd get rid of the little kiddie grip.
(I have big hands)


Edit: By the way, beautiful work on the wood.

I think you've been bitten.

So...what are your plans for your NEXT AK?

Nice job on the wood, btw.

Lol, ya I think I have!

I kinda want an AMD-65, and I also saw a nice AK with a nice deep rich yellow stock set.  I wanted a Russian Red stock, but when I saw the yellow I almost wanted to do that too.  I see how this can get addicting, it was a lot of fun to do this, and feels good to have "my touch" and work into it.
