When life hands you crappy AK's

You can make crappy AK lemonade. Or a "trash can gun" as someone once described it to me.

Before.

And after.

Depending on what the AK market looks like around election time, this one will probably be going to a new home.

Looks good Ray!
I always hated those ugly looking stocksets they came with.
But rest assured if you put them away somebody down the road will be paying good money for them because their rare...

I like my ak's commie style, but that one came out looking good. What length did you chop the barrel down to???

Honestly, I didn't measure the actual barrel length after cutting it down. It started out at just under 16.5" and I just marked it up so that it would be the same length after pinning the flash hider. I would guess it's around 14.5" give or take.

That ak really came out nice looking. I think with the short barrel and long handguard is what does it.
