Custom made Russian AK47

I don't want to sell this beauty

but I have a type 2 and 2 type 3's to build and I need the $. I have been working on this for a year and a half. It turned out better than I expected. It is a none matching. I got the receiver from Lancaster (Chet at Lancaster is a dumb ars but makes good receivers). I hand preped the metal to give it a gloss finish and antiqued it. A little scotch brite pad would give it a little more character. The bore is clean and shiny. Someone installed a sling swivel on the stock. I think it is worth $1,500.00 to someone who appreciates beauty like this. I suppose you guys will let me know if I'm out of line. I just sold 2 milled Bulgarians for $1,450.00 each. They were made by Vector. They looked good, but not like this. I'm sending the M60 style flash hider with it. It adds alot of style. I took it out and shot a mag thru it and I have to tell you there is nothing like a milled AK when you shoot one.

$1,500.00 + $35.00 Shipping to your FFL

I guess I haven't thought about it. What did you have in mind?

I have parts kit (5), and all sorts of extra parts. Tell me what you are looking for.

Interesting .."finish"...on the receiver. I have never seen anything like it except the "browning" that some guys apply to old percussion, civil war rifles... What did you use to get those results?

I saw a lot of original Russian AK47's in Vietnam...THEY looked like that. The new ones, still in the grease, we pulled out of stashes in Cambodia..looked like they were made by Smith & Wesson...the blueing was perfect. Until then, the only ones i had seen had plenty of miles on them...and well...looked like the one pictured above. Good Job.
