Newly Evil Ak47

[firtree]

New MAK90 in cute and cuddly form:

After new gas tube, followers and stock set. It suddenly becomes evil!:

(p.s. Ignore the canted upper hg. Still working on that one. )

Damn, that is a good job. I have a MAK-90 that looks like the first picture. Way excellent shooter. Wickedly accurate with a beautiful trigger. What exactly did you do to yours, I want one.

Is that the one I PM'ed you on? I almost bought it myself a few months back. It looks great.

 

[C-pher]

That's sweet...

I might have to walk over and see it sometime.....

I jumped through a couple of hoops to keep the great trigger on it. I
replaced the gas piston, added a US follower to all of my mags, and
replaced with all American-made furniture. You just need to replace 5 foreign
parts with American ones on a stamped MAK90 (6 if there is a brake). Also,
if the rear of your receiver has the infamous angled cut, Ironwood Designs
is pretty much your only stock source, but they do look very nice. All in all,
about 4 hours of effort. I could do it again in about 1.5 hours. (and I think I
will. I never knew how much fun an AK was!

how did you get that lower handguard off? i was tryin to get mine off my arsenal ak the other day and couldnt budge it...is there something im missin here?

 

[SKS Ray]

The black looks nice but I'd still go with wood. Not the original thumbhole, but a wood stock and pistol grip. Nothing says AK like vintage Russian-esque wood furniture.
I'm looking for a Mak so I can swap out the thumbhole stock with a 2 piece standard wood stock.

Did you flip the little lever tucked away inside the end cap of the handguard?

Remove the cleaning rod?
