AK 47 Show and Tell

[jb1911]

I bought this from Atlantic, very happy with it except for the fact that it only came with one magazine and it was a Radon all plastic. I have better mags coming in the mail.

Sexy, sexy!

How was your experience with Atlantic? I've been eying some things they have.

 

[tcecil88]

That is a beautiful AK.

Thanks guys, I love this rifle. I've never heard anything bad about Atlantic Firearms. It was a smooth transaction all the way. They said it would ship in 5 to7 days and it arrived at my FFL on the 5th day. The pistol grip looked kind of crappy, bad finish and it had a crack in it. When I took it off it had rust on it where it meets up with the receiver and the receiver had some there I had to clean off with Eezox. Other that that I love it. It even came with a Tapco trigger. Beautiful finish, smooth action, gas block and sights are straight as can be and the wood is great looking.

Thanks for the kind words. I use this setup: Canon 7D, Canon efs 17-55mm f/2.8 is usm lens, Canon Speedlite 550 EX bounced off the white ceiling in my garage.

My god traderator... some SICK AK's!

Never really wanted an AK but this came along and I picked it up off of a friend because her son had left it behind when he passed away. It shoots fine.

Early import Romanian WUM-1. From what I understand it was imported one year into the states in 1997

 

[tradertator]

Nice Hoosier, that's one of the better rifles that was ever imported out of Romania.

Ok, I really liked the looks of those Polish rifles Atlantic is selling. So this weekend I built one of the kits I've had for a while. One of the nicest I've built, and I think a lot of that goes to the fact this kit is one of the nicest quality (and well demilled) kits I've ever had. I'm thinking I need to buy a couple more to set back for a rainy day.

Pics don't do it justice, but this thing turned out sweet! and shoots great as well!

Clay, very nice job. Do you bend your own flats? What finish did you use on it? That rifle has really nice wood.

 

[Clay]

Thanks!!

No, I don't do flats. I've thought about it, but have pretty much only used No-dak, except for one Armory USA receiver on a chinese build a few yes back (No-dak doesn't make a chinese receiver).

Believe it or not the finish is Rustoleum Appliance epoxy, baked at 400 F for a couple hours in the oven. The stuff bakes on pretty darn hard and not to shiny, and is about as tough a finish as I've had from a spray can.II've done a couple of rifles in it and so far its been awesome, and no chemicals do anything to it. I've used a different semi-gloss from them before and its a toss up for which one I like better.

that polish wood was awesome! one of the reasons I want another kit. All I did was wash it up and oil it and there it is!
