PlasticMag Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Thank you, I'm rather fond of it. Carbine -yep. I've got 3 more where that one came from, and a bunch of E. German bakelites to convert (I'm rather fond of their reddish coloration over the Russian coloration). The plum mags are all Izmash and have full proof and stamping. They make me very happy.

Ye old Canadian Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) Put some more weathering on my AK. Still completely stock except for the paint job There's a cheap green bb in the crack in the cement floor lol Edited October 27, 2006 by Ye old Canadian Link to post Share on other sites
docs90 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Does this count Link to post Share on other sites
ad400317 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Yes that SVD counts. How did you get the weathering on that otherwise stock AK? It looks amazing! Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 What the? Someone trying to pass off an SVD as an AK47? It's usually the other way around. It isn't an AK, unless you get one of those hybrid svd47's. Although you could start a new thread demanding pics of true SVDs which is what you have, oh and AKs not allowed.

slvrgtstang Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Just put this stock on last night. I'm very pleased with the way it looks and feels, and it fit with no work except drilling the holes out a tiny bit. without battery With battery. Link to post Share on other sites
Ye old Canadian Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) Here's the guide. http://www.red-alliance.net/articles/custo.../furniture.html I didn't follow it 100 percent, I just used the paint colors he suggested and kinda went on my own from there. Here's some shots of the receiver. I also chopped the bolt down to be closer to what the real one is like Edited October 28, 2006 by Ye old Canadian Link to post Share on other sites
thegunrunner Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) I love what you did with the sight block, it looks like it's machined steel. I changed my AKM to black, as I'd rather have my wood AKM built with a receiver with scope rail. I'll get another to put it on soon. With black, I decided to attempt the look of the Bulgarian AK color, which from what I've seen usually aren't blued, unlike Guarder kit. I used this paint called Alumahyde 2, and after some experimentation I think I got pretty close. Sight block with proper Bulgarian sight Gas tube and barrel detail, I remember one of my real Bulgarian gas tubes looked like it lost paint, so I tried to do the same effect. Top cover: If this is nothing like a Bulgarian AK, please let me know. I haven't seen a real Bulgarian AK up close just read and look at pictures.

Grey_Fox Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Does anyone knows if the VFC AKS-74U is compatible with Tokyo Marui AK parts? Magazines and barrels specially. Link to post Share on other sites

Shroomalistic Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Almost done with my RPK, used an slr105 for the base with RS wood kit. Just need to get one of those AK/SVD Hybrid for the barrel, bipod, gasblock, and front sight. Link to post Share on other sites
thegunrunner Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 awesome so far, I might have to try the same with the Inokatsu receiver as the base. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 An RPK 74, sweet! Beats any old RPK any day, well except for the one with the gigantic NV stuck on it. Link to post Share on other sites
