NM0 586 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Looks good. Is it wood burning? Noticed you commissioned it...custom is always cool. Nice job keeping local talent active. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broox 7 Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Yes, it's wood burning. AKA Pyrography. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 normally I think that sort of stuff is tacky on guns, but this is very understated and classy. nice job. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broox 7 Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Thank you, everyone. It took a lot of patience to build this gun, and it's nice to have it finally pay off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Garys4598 1,065 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 That's mighty purty. Takes a guy exceptionally confident with his masculinity, to proudly show off a rifle that has vines and leaves engraved upon it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Takes a guy exceptionally confident with his masculinity, to proudly show off a rifle that has vines and leaves engraved upon it. I don't know about that, a hell'uva lot of the engraved guns I've seen are sporting stylized leaves, vines, flowers and such in their scrollwork. Especially used as borders for hunting scenes and other artistic works. Yep, it's a purty'un al'rite... Not my style, but pretty and I'll not be a knock'in it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, but have you ever seen such on an Avtomat Kalashnikova? It is a very attractive and unique rifle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
essohbe 47 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Awesome man. I have some wood burning pens, I should do up some furniture. I burned a star into my Romy buttstock and then stained and laquered over it. Gave it a similar look to yours. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IMHO such carving/engraving on Izhmash's"Hunter" series of rifles would look most appropriate, be highly attractive and increase the rifle's value. On an AK. . . not so much.

Sirex 34 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) My father's Ithaca 12G and Winchester 94 both have ornament engravings in them. I woulda never thought to do designs on the stock of an AK battle style rifle, but I must admit, it does look pretty classy. I like it.

HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 It may not be what some want on their rifle but after six weeks since the posting I continue to think about how this could be applied to mine. I put it one the same personal level as a tattoo. Like it or not it sure leaves an impression. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broox 7 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'm sure the guy who did mine would be happy to work on yours as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MP5s are "supposed" to be plastic, but I've seen pictures of a pretty nice looking one in fancy curly grain wood. I'm sure that's heresy to someone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 That's a bit harsher than I would put it. Maybe "inconsistent." This is after all a discussion of taste, and being inconsistent on a matter of taste is not hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is inconsistency on a matter of morals, or claimed actions. I was going for a friendly jab. An MP5 is a a stamped metal and plastic workhorse, so the comparison seems reasonable to me. For what it's worth, I think each of the guns you have posted looks very good. I'd kinda like to see the guy who did your wife's Mp5 furniture do AKM furniture, just to see what he comes up with. While an AK is sort of antithetical to luxury and class, who says it has to be? Maybe an S12 with scrollwork and a Purdey esque damascus barrel and silver inlays?

Bigtwin 219 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thanks for bumping this thread up GunFun....I missed it, now I am glad I have seen it! Broox, That looks very nice! Almost classy....lol. No it really is! I have no wood on my ak(not tacticooled either), but I think if I can get my hands on another saiga soon, I may go the wood route.....perhaps even some embellishing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
