Looks like it slaughtered a village in Balkan.... [ak]

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

I'll take it! Seriously though, looks good!

Looking great so far just smooth the areas of contrast a bit more with a scotch bright pad and it will help it look even more authentic. So are you still going to let me look at the other 2 hg sets you got in that order from apex?

edit: also it would look great to do a bfpu mag as well ;)

Nicely done!![Beer]
A Fleur de Lis mag would look great in it :)

[bimmer]

Thanks!

I tried making the mag look like a BFPU, but nothing i have is taking the black off. I'm going to have to get some sandpaper or something.

ill bring them to work, so you can take a look. The only one that really had any markings is the one in the pic unfortunately. One of them does have 3 tally/hash marks on it.

Try dabbing some naval jelly on it and let it sit for a bit,then wipe-should work.

This is the other side. It also says "CAKA" on the bottom.. [Dunno] . I read that it means "swagger" in Turkish.

We're you using scotch bright pads? (The real ones from the hardware store not the kitchen kind) either way sand paper works well too the abrasive pads just smooth it put so it doesn't look like it was intentionally sanded

Heres an Mpi-kms72 bfpu I once built that's also how I know a bfpu mag makes it much better lol

The only stock I was able to find was an m76 stock from apex. I had to call them and ask if they had any yugo stocks that weren't listed on their site, and they did happen to have ONE. Apparently it's in "real good condition". How would you guys suggest making it match the hand guards? Used motor oil? (Suggested by jreifsch80, and a few other forums I found). Ill have to see how it looks when I receive it, but I'm guessing its gonna need some work. They also called me back after I ordered and said they found a us made take off from a CAI m70 PAP that was in new condition. I opted for the m76 since it will most likely need less "work" to make it look authentic. I know it won't "match" the m70 stock, but the straight stock looks better IMO. The origional yugo stock looks too big to me.

[zteknik]

I don't remember if a m76 stock would fit?jreifsch80 would know that for sure though.
I'm not seeing any m70 stocks listed in any of the usual vendors.Seems like they all sold out.But for sure they'll be listed on gunbroker for outrageous prices as usual.

You can always do one of jr's favorite finishes and pine tar it :)

[bimmer]

He already assured me that it would fit. Only difference is the Bolt for the stock on the m76 is longer, but the one i found comes with the butt pad and bolt.

In 2012 they had the complete set x3 with the stock for $25.00. It is now $45.00 for just the 3 hand guard sets and 3 pistol grips. I ended up paying $125.00 for just the complete stock assembly. No one in the country has an origional m70 stock that I can find.

The m76 stock will fit. My yugo ak has an m76 stock on it.

[bimmer]

Pics of said AK?

The bolt can be shortened real easy.
Do a pine tar like rachael OR have it done at
