very nice.
How much heavier is the milled receiver over a stamped? |
|
lol, converted his EWR to an EBR with a can of kyrlon?
Some people bring home stray cats and dogs because they need a good home. Same sorta thing. |
|
Who built it? Gordon Tech, Blue Ridge, MSC or another (can't remember who the other was).
I had 2 from MSC but sold them off. |
|
Very nice!
Who built up the rifle? Gordon Tech, Blue Ridge, or MSC? Triumph, milled AK-47's are about 1.5 lbs or so heavier than a stamped AKM. *edited to add.....wow..Mak, that's just too damn scary, we were asking the same question at the same time..... * |

You've been assimilated by the Borg |

Hmmm...I am really not understanding this...Could you explain...Kinda sounds like something Cerrano would do to his bat to please Jobu. |
|
|
??? is that like taking Herman to the circus? The "boning" process closes the pores on the wood, and makes it incredibly smooth. I know it sounds wierd... but I have seen it done, and done it and it works. |
|
|
Remember Pedro Cerrano from Major League..He ended up playing President Palmer in 24 |

|
Boneing does make a difference,I used to keep a big rib bone around just for wood refinishing.

I wonder...does a gun stock rubbed in pig fat mean double death to a muslim who is shot by said weapon LOL....we should tell them our bullets are dipped in pig fat If one of our bullets even wounds you you will not go to heaven......LOL damn I like it. great gun by the way.

thanks guys.
I'm gonna try to follow Jeep's method. First things first, need a range test tomorrow. BTW, the builder is MSC., hope that's not a bad builder. oh, and I need to find a Russian sling. |
|
Did some looking around on the "boning process"
I was petrified as to what google might come up with when I searched... There were several baseball forums/faq's all talking about do this to wood bats...One even mentioned using smooth glass...I am guessing that its not the fact that its a bone, just that its hard and must force down the raised grain. |
|
Mike? of MSC made some good ones and then turned into a hack and used some pretty bad Hungarian shot out barrels. How does the barrel look? pitting? smoothbore? |
|
|
smooth, sharp and chromed... that was the first thing I looked at. |

|
Are you sure its chromed?
Its actually supposed to be a Hungarian type III,but the Hungarian did'nt chrome line their bores. |
|
Nice!
If it shoots straight I wouldn't do a darn thing to it. (well , maybe you could find some Russian wood ) |
|
Those Hungarian barrels were chromed weren't they? Yugo's not. |
|
|
Some of those built by the 4 builders used parts from another country, also. But can't remember which country, Poland(?).
|
|
No,they used chromium in the bbl steel itself.It made a really accurate type III.I had one with a dark bore but strong deep rifling,it was the most accurate AK I've ever had.
|
|
John, you're probably right. The bore reminds me of my Swiss K31. They didn't chrome their bores but used a chromium alloy in the barrel that looks the same. the bore is shiny with rifling, no dark spots that I could find. |
|
|
Just my $0.02... I'd substitute Formby's Tung Oil Finish (Low Gloss) for the Boiled Linseed Oil. The wood on these AK's is usually beech and the Tung Oil will really bring out the highlights in it. And the Tung Oil is easy to "touch up" from time to time if needed. Cleaning solvents generally mess up BLO and it won't look right again unless you completely strip the stock and start over again. I wouldn't "bone it", either...but that's just me... |
|
|
|
that's what I hope to acheive. So the slant brakes will fit? Wonder which one I should stick with... ahhh choices. |
|
|
Is your muzzle nut still welded? I'd go with the U.S. slant brake MidWestArmory is supposed to get them in and seems to have the best price with inexpensive shipping.
|
|
Muzzle nut. |
||
|
damn temp....
I want your furniture! yeah, it's welded. looks like I'll choose the muzzle nut. |
|
Mauser,
Don't you dare go with a slant brake on that Type III clone! Congratulations, by the way. Very nice! Bud |
|
...ok...I'm confused.... I thought it was "mozeltof" sorry, I haven't had my coffee |
|
|
BlitzGR10 has a milled Polish stockset on the EE for $60.00 shipped. It needs the buttplate, trapdoor and screws. Could stand to be stripped and refinished. It would take you a couple of hours total. Better jump on it.
|
|
|
|
|
but the lower handguard looks like it's for the AKM... (polish set on EE)
|
|
Most likey, but I sold a set of hanguards like that for about $40.00 which would leave $20.00 for the buttstock which by the looks of it is worth $60.00 on its own. |
|
|
Yeagermeister,yes its normal to not have matching numbers on an SLR 100 H,the adjustable rear sight has been added.Sometimes the top covers can be a little tough.
Mark,you can always pick up a Polish type III handguard set. |
|

|
unless that wood looks completely different in person, i think it looks great. it looks like its really been around and like its got some stories to tell. but i'm a sucker for the battlefield look- and that has it in the picture. great find :) |
|
|
|
mine is a light grey parkerized, I'd like to refinish it in black if possible
not sure how another coat ontop of park will look. |
