s2thalayer 13 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ordered 3 kits when the panic happened. A Bulgarian AK74, Hungarian AMD65, and an Egyptian Maadi. The kits and three polish blank receivers are supposed to arrive this week at my door. I have already decided they will all three be weld builds, it's just down to finding the right welder. But anyway, I've never been one for traditional, nor repetitive builds. I have a long barrel Saiga .308. Then I've got a 7.62 more traditional with the tapco T6 set. So now my plan is to make one of the kits into a Magal, one of the kits into a DMR, and one kit into a traditional wooden furniture AK. So far I've been thinking of turning the AMD65 into the Magal, the 74 into a DMR, and the Maadi into a traditional AK. Anybody have any other suggestions for interesting builds? Also, the choices I made I based on accuracy. I figured the 5.45 rounds would be a better DMR round than x39s. Also thought the AMD65 having the shorter barrel (even though I extended it to 16") and the folding stock would make it more easily for the Magal. The Egyptian, being so close to a real Russian, I figured would be a good choice for the traditional AK...and is probably the most accurate of the three. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richUK 90 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) I know its been done time and again but i dont think you can beat the look of a Soviet Afghan era AKM, id build one out of the Maadi.Heres mine with a bakelite mag,Afghan era sling and Soviet muzzle brake.

HarvKY 72 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 If its an AK collection, gotta have a Khyber Pass They're a combo of parts from different countries so you dont have to worry about being "correct" Have fun Harv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
