My somewhat close to completion AKM (56k Beware!)

[ProbeJax]

.....And I felt like I was carrying a lot of ammo with two guns fulled loaded, 2 P-90 mags in pouch, and a spare 92FS mag. You..you could probably triple my BB carrying count.

I counted 16. MAG brand mags aren't expensive like the metal ones of various brands.

Everyday I walk by my sheld and see the P-90 box, I regret buying it over an M-16 or M-4 or MP-5. Why? I can't get mags for like, 10 bucks. I either spring for 007's like, 60 dollar mags, or I go down to the Army Surplus, which has two TM P-90 mags for some reason. For about 10 bucks less then 007, when you include shipping. And it appears that I haven't learned from the mistake, because the next AEG I want is the SIG552. Which is another gun which is a pain in the ass and wallet to get magazines for.

Maybe. I don't really use hicaps though (well theres two in the pic... the short one, and the one with the winding hole on it...).

Alright now, lets stay on topic, new AKM!

I'm still kicking myself for passing up a $100 deal for 11 AK mags
Instead I paid $65 for 2 *tear*

Very nice AK ancorp! Loving the wood kit

Bingo! I drove up North and met up with him, great guy to deal with in person.

For $50 shipped, that woodkit is damn good looking. Although you get what you pay for.

Its actually on the chopping block right now. I am still having fit issues after installing the Prowin hop up. I may end up selling it off and building myself an AIM.

Dibs on top cover!

[ancorp]

Alright well, I picked up some Krylon flat black, and glossy orange.

Repainted the top cover properly, and the cocking handle. I then promptly pulled it back for fun as always... and scraped off half the paint (turns out the paint can says it takes a week for it to become chip free... damn, repaint tomorrow, again!)

Also painted the safety lever flat black to match the receiver.

Painted the mag. Waited the required time. Grabbed it, ended up with orange hands. F**k. Scrape the paint off with some metal, and then sand it as much as I can, and then repaint, take my time to let it dry. Paint turned out alright, I like how the scratches from when I was ripping off the old paint, stayed, but just barely noticable as soft dents (can be seen in the hires photo). Mag ended up too orange for my taste, need to add a bit of dark red in there somehow to balance it out. Need to paint the pistol grip too.

Anyways, here it is... colors are off in the photo, its not that yellow at all.

With flash:



Without (mag color is more accurate in this pic):




Meh... needs a lot more work.

Did you have the flash on, or is the mag really that light reflective?

No flash, but it was dark, so I really had to jack up the settings on the camera to get a reasonable brightness. Either way, its fairly shiny for now. Won't be once I field it.

[Gryphon]

Ahh, bakelite 7.62x39mm mags, stamped receiver, bulged lower handguard, slant brake...

You sir have mighty fine taste!

[Lakonian]

Jesus Alex... That thing makes me want to drink vodka, and attempt a quick in-outtie.

Can't wait for this pro. to be done.

[ancorp]

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Kos, you're welcome to drive up here and fondle it anytime

Although it looks close to completion, there is still a tonne of things need to be done.

Anyone wanna lend me some money?

Cheers!
Alex
