My Polish underfolder from 'Shootshack' is the one on top! He hot blues, sands and repeaats and his Polish guns are the best guns on the market. Ive had mine for 2 yrs now and i couldnt be happier with it (and yes, i changed out the pistol grip) and i havent seen another Polish that comes close. He may be a small time builder in volume but id buy from him over many others.

The Polish kits I had were paint over park I believe but it doesn't really matter, the rifle looks great in my opinion. All rifles don't need to be exact copies of the original. Most of mine aren't. |
Never? Dang. I just noticed it has an American receiver too! AKM's never had those either. Wait-- and it has an American trigger group and a gas piston that's not of the Polish world. Rats!-- and I now see that my stupid magazines have followers and floor plates that were never on the originals either. What I also see, is that a lot of comments made here recognize that this is a Polish rifle. And just maybe, real Polish rifles "never" looked this good. |
These are the nicest Polish guns you'll find, period! As for the polished bolt...i stripped and polished mine just to make the cntrast a lil better. |
| thats not the point the warsaw pact akm did not have a polished bolt carrier, if i were to put that rifle in a dispay case for a represinative cold war akm it wouldnt look right. i want my rifle to be as close to possible to the ones that were issued to the conscrpts in that era. i cant afford class 3 so there is no getting around the semi rec, but you would have to look real close to tell mine from the real deal. same as my G3 clone, and my FAL. oh and my M16A1 clone. I care for attention to historical detail not what looks good. My underfolder was built by gary at overland. he builds museum quality AKs. |
Put a clone in a display case to look at? It's a clone, so what if the guy wants to polish hit carrier. He obviously shoots his rifle instead of putting it in a case and displaying it as something it isn't and never will be. If you want to crap on the guy's thread about his rifle go somewhere else and do it.
|
| its exactly as MAK said, you can put your rifle in the display case all you want, it still doesnt make it anymore historically correct than mine! I also wouldnt be bragging about displaying and not shooting a CLONE b/c when you break it down to basics, thats what they all are...period! One last thing, ive seen a few builds done by YOUR museum quality builder and while nice, the ones 'shootshack' does are nicer. Sorry but thats the fact jack. |
| While Overland does very nice builds for the price, you are fooling yourself if you claim they are museum quality. There are some builders that do museum quality work, but you aren't going to get those builds in the $200.00 to $300.00 range. You are smoking crack if you think you have museum quality rifles being built. |

cool pics I am really considering buying two underfolders (each a diffferent caliber). its just pretty cool looking and one of the best designs on a folding stock. Thanks for the info too. Edit: I emailed the builder. I asked if he was making any more polish under folders..... and I gave him the url link to this message. I let you know what he says. |

You guys are talking about builders being "museum quality" when in reality AKs that left Warsaw factories before the cold war never looked that good. Ever seen a video from Izhevsk or Tula arsenal? It's a bunch of Russian grandmas with their hair tied back putting AKs together as fast as their hands can move. Not sure what museum you are talking about but I've never seen an AK like that at a museum. PS: Beautiful rifle. I don't like the polished bolts but to each his own, still looks great What are your compliance parts? |
Thank you SKS_Lover. My compliance parts are-- NDS receiver/U.S. FCG/U.S. Piston/ plus all, and I do mean ALL, magazines have U.S. floorplates and U.S. followers. |
