Looks like that hog had taken up residence.

He’s not there anymore!

good old bakelite

Ah, I was wondering if it was. Is the furniture bakelite too, or does the wood just match the color that well?

yep, handguards, pistol grip, mag are all bakelite. I love the patterns the molding process produces only thing is its made of formaldehyde and asbestos.

Here's a few Romys I put together...

My first rifle was a 300BLK build and I feel so stupid for doing that. AK>Anything

A couple of Czech beauties - VZ 2008 and CZ 82.

I'm balls deep in 7.62 cartridges I want a firearm chambered in that caliber.
But I'm open to opinions on if I should consider a budget option AK or AR platform (which I'm comfortable with)
I'm unfamiliar with AKs completely like I'm intimidated.
Is it that big of a difference? Should I purchase an AK from pioneer arms? Or would the ARs in 762 be a better starter?

Start a new thread about it, or better yet - start here: https://www.indianagunowners.com/threads/new-to-aks-looking-for-guidance.522850/

I can't speak to ARs in 7.62x39, but if you're interested in learning more about the AK, you should also join the AK Files and read, and watch the YouTube channels of Rob Ski/AKOU and Mishaco.

There's a ton, tons of stuff to consider when diving into AKs - far more than could be covered in a single post or a thread. However, I would RUN AWAY from a Pioneer AK, because it is not a true Polish milspec gun, but rather sloppy commercial junk. The link above has some decent info.

And welcome to INGO.

I'm no purist, but I've seen a lot of 762 ARs with a variety of issues. It just doesn't seem to mesh well. That said, I'm not sure I'd enjoy a 556 AK either.

I just got an AK-47.
I am looking at my options for Finishing and Furniture.
So I did a search and couldn't find a
Kalashnikova Porn Thread, so here it is.
Let's see what you've got INGO.

Surprisingly it's fairly inexpensive to get our AKs coated

I've heard the same thing. So I just hoard my AKs lol. I really need a Micro Draco for the collection

 

[Brownbyhonor]

Did you redo the wood on that? Those handguards are amazing!

I was thinking the same thing lol

I decided I better get a Jack, now. You just never know what tomorrow might bring.

Nice! From AoA? What's your initial out of the box impression? I keep looking at these, but have been tucking away some funds in hopes I can snag an FB if they ever come back in stock.

Way better than average trigger for an AK. The mag release is like a big paddle on it which I guess is okay unless I find it hanging onto stuff.. Wood is pretty nice. Safety is of course pretty stiff right now. I am not sure on the magwell. My Bulgarian metal mags, went right in and out nicely. That Palm had to be encouraged to go in with a bitch slap, same goes for a Circle 10.
