PM AKM Assault Rifle Build

I had been looking for a detailed AK model for a while and found this one in amongst the 4chan boards. So I cracked on. The instructional pictures were fine, if a little sketchy when it concerned the rear locking lug for the magazine, but I soldiered on and this is where I am at so far. I went with the white plans to see how it all slotted together,(Plus my color print is on the blink). So far I am happy with the build and once completed will more than likely mask and paint.

I am thinking of moddding it slightly and adding an internal return spring for the bolt. A spiral note book spring should be enough. And possibly marrying it up with a PSO sight from the Dragonov model.

Your AK looks to be coming along nicely.

Interesting idea on the spring.

good choice, great build! i'm just curious, will you be painting it, if so, how would you get around the wood grain effect on the stock/fore end. its stopped me making a few like this because of this reason.

DarkAntz, how about a modded Saiga 12 like the 8 inch ones that Tromix does. Nothing like a 12 guage with an 8 inch barrel and a 20 round drum magazine.

Hey Mixx,

Mousemuffins just did a build thread of Uhu02's Samaritin pistol. He did his version more life-size and in white so he could paint it more accurately. Did a very good job with the wood grain on the handle. Might work here also.

oh my stars ...... thats given me some ideas

I just looked at that, its seriously got me thinking about my direction on this build now. I will most likely continue completely finishing this one as I started it just to see where all the issues are then start over borrowing a few ideas. The first will be my alpha. Im already coming across a few odd things in this build.

Good job! But the model turned out square.

I dont understand what you meant by that one.

Anyhoo.....Whilst between builds of DA's Desert eagle which I managed to screw up twice because I was clumsy on the first build and got the wrong thickness of cardstock for the second attempt, I finished assembly on this one.

I am now onto my third attempt at doing DarkAntz's Desert Eagle and I really want to complete it and get it right, because its such a good design
