Just picked up this $7 AK buttpad. Much nicer feel when shouldered.

https://www.robertrtg.com/store/pc/AK-RUBBER-BUTTPAD-FOR-AK47-AKM-AKMS-AK74-p1572.htm

Surprised at the quality. One of the comments said it doesnt fit tight but it feels pretty solid on my Polish triangle

Nice guns! What is the second one from the top in wood stock? Looks like its chambered in .308 from the mag.

Finally finished, maybe I'll add a Tromix Knob?

The Zhukov U is kinda under rated for full size rifles. It's an inch and a half shorter and only weighs about 9 oz (The lower handguard that is)

Probably will cool off faster too since the gas block isn't completely shrouded by the handguard.

I chopped my retainer because some dipstick in Romania made the retainer channel a bit too big. A lot of hand guards had noticeable wobble to them. Couldn't use Zenitco B30 sadly

That’s a Mini 14 GB stainless with a straight 20 round magazine. It’s chambered in 5.56.

Not going to post imagines since this is an AK thread, but here’s a link to an album with more pictures of it. Link

The Zhukov-U is an excellent hand-guard.

A thing I did. I cheese-gradered the metal insert heavily (Drilled holes everywhere) and reduced it's weight. I did this due to already modifying it for a Vepr and to lighten the front end due to Vepr's heavy barrel.

I bet that helps for sure, but imo most of the weight probably comes from polymer. Especially near the front, the hand guard gets kinda thick.

I'll be swapping out the upper handguard for a khyber cheese grater. If anything it looks cool, and it might help vent out heat better.

Just finished this AKM up today at Rifle Dynamics in Las Vegas in their 3 day AK Builder class. Absolutely amazing experience and the AK I ended up with is a finely tuned machine that works extremely well. I couldn't possibly be happier with the Fuller's and this AKM

For those interested, it was built off a Childer's receiver, surplus Romanian kit, and new US 4150 barrel.

Just finished up this Romanian AKM on a Polish 80%. Sanded the receiver down to prep for paint but I'm kind of liking the "battleworn" finish as it matches the rest of the rifle... Hmm....

Well fuck bro, can we at least see it with the paint job, might as well! It's an AK bro, yes I'm a little Purist, a little Tacticool, a little more towards tacticool these days, just depends! Don't let the purists completely sway you just yet, let us see it! Either way I love your LMT's, in the MRP thread, looking forward to seeing it, and would love to see you tacticool one up too if you ever decide to try that route too!

I love those Polish receivers. I have some 100% Childers on the way with custom markings and serials to match trunnions. They are a far cry from the old days of bodging together Romy G kits on Tapco flats, or the ArmoryUSA receiver I used for my first build. Now, I have no complaints about the AUSA receiver in terms of function or durability, but it is far from being aesthetically correct in its features(odd dimples, selector marks, no I&Y stamp for 3rd pin etc...)

Didn't have time to strip the paint tonight as I was too busy helping a buddy build his very first AK. He's working on a very similar build to my most recent. Anyway, this is far from a quality photograph but here's how it sits currently.

Definitely a bit of both worlds!

Regarding the finish, I ordered another parts kit this afternoon so maybe I'll go with the unfinished look for that one

It'll be the 4th AK I've built in a month.. I definitely have got the bug! I've helped one buddy build one, mid build on another (just need to populate the barrel on Friday), and I have 4 more friends/ family that are waiting to build theirs next!

And thanks regarding the LMT comment! Love those MRPs!

I do like the battle worn look though bro, that shit looks straight out the apocalypse homie! I've never been a big fan of the Ultimak, not to say it is bad, it was the only option many of us had for a long time, however there are better options nowadays. With that said, it still looks fucking awesome! I'm looking forward to your next one!

Great job, and cool pic.

I like the "theme" to it all.  I've been working on a similar project.

Norinco 56S-1   Bought the rifle by itself, and slowly have been tracking down the NOS accs. to go with it.

Year 2 of carrying my M77 through the woods for a week during hunting season. Actually a very comfortable rifle to carry, and with the resurgence of wolf and cougar in our usual area I'm glad to have it.
