AK 47 Show and Tell

That looks familiar

I fell for the Yugo meme. Certainly a lot rougher around the edges than any of my other AK’s except maybe my 1992 romy. But I guess for the going prices of most AK’s these days it’s not too bad.

The magwell seems pretty great though. The Croatian mags that give me all sorts of trouble in my other rifles go in without issue in the Yugo.

Was quite disappointed when I saw there wasn’t a bayonet lug either. I need the cold steel out there.

Enough with the complaining! it’s a cool rifle for sure, will be even better once I’m done De-Americanizing it. My new question is how am I going to get a sling on the gun, the original Yugo stocks don’t have sling swivels. And Zpaps don’t have the receiver mounted sling swivel…I don’t know if I’m going to have to go without, try inletting the stock for a sling swivel or what

Pic related.

Next AK will probably be getting my Polish kit built. Still waiting for the reciever to come in from Childers. It’s been over a month and a half. ;-;

All the military style com block AKs I have all have the sling attachment on the lower handguard retainer. My ZPAP has a QD attachment on the triangle stock. At least it looks to be a QD location

Ya, I’m almost certain the military Yugo M70 stocks don’t have sling attachment points because the actual military guns had the sling attachment point on the receiver but that spot is covered by the optic rail on the zpap.

The front sling s attachment point is by the gas block. Not on the handguard retainer like most other countries guns

I was inquiring what Scott, the post above mine, was in response to. He didn’t quote respond to who he was at.

All corrections have been made to the old girl now besides the bayonet lug and sling swivel. Not sure how I want to go about that. But it’s definitely looking a lot better without that awful US furniture.

Much happier with it now that it looks 95% right.

Bulgarian SLR-95 is now AK-103 clone. Sooo . . . Best way to colorize this in the white front sight assembly?

High temp black enamel spray paint like what you would put on a grill or something has always worked for me. Usually a very close match to the paints they use on these. Just tape off everything and paint a small area of it, let it dry, and compare the colors to see if you are happy with them.

Edit:

This is the exact stuff I have used. (It looks weird but it’s an Amazon link)

Interesting paint job. Did you do it yourself or is it a professional job? Looks nicely done.

 

[TrueSeanamus]

Did it myself using scrim netting

Cool, did a nice job. I’m too much of a coward to paint mine. Lol

If I plan on using a gun in the field ever, wether it be SHTF or whatever, I want it to blend in. The first time you do it is definitely stressful. But once it’s done it’s super satisfying

There is always Brownell's spray and bake or spray and pray.

I prefer good old fashion spray paint.

Since you’re in Kokomo, you could always go through Defiance Firearms. He does really nice Cerakote

The guys east of signal 5?

No signal 5 is 1800 w markland. Defiance was like 400e/26 last time I had him do something for me. But that was a couple years ago so he could have moved into the city. I was unaware of anything by the jail though.
