If I may ask...what are your thoughts on the ACE Front sight block?
Well, it looks good, not to heavy, and mounts rock solid. On the other hand the finish is not great, the allen bolts are to long and stick out the other side when fully tightened, (I had to cut more then an 1/8 inch off each), and the 2 half circle things (whatever you call them) on either side of the front sight post bend easily. I bent one in about 1/4 inch when installing it. The good thing is that the metal was so soft I just bent it right backout with some needle nose pilars. Basically it works great, but I wouldn't depend on it when zombies attack.
Spend the extra $$ and buy a bolton gas block/ sight combo or weld on an HK front sight.

Did I miss the pics?
I was replying to JD09 about the ACE front sight base for the AK. You can see one in my pic above
Thanks for the input.
Not so hot on the Bolton yet. I know they have been around but cant get myself to swap a factory pinned gas block for an after market held on by set screws. For a gas block the chrome lining makes a little difference to me too, Bolton isnt.
Guess I can always look for the unicorn and see if KVAR ever gets more Bulgy 105 combo blocks in too

Oh man, nice AK's dude!
I still gotta get the tool to take my bolt apart and see why those new mags aren't fitting right.

This is one of the AK style firearms my family has... the WASR-10

Nice rifle! That looks like the one I saw someone buy at Zero Hour a few weeks ago for an incredible price.
Two things though... the sling is backwards and inside out.

Thanks Ray! I wondered if someone would comment on the sling. I realized it was inside out as I was shooting the photo but I didn't have time to change it. I actually got the rifle off Gunbroker for what I thought was a good price.
Not trying to sidetrack the thread here, but who makes the best case for an AK with the underfolder?

I just ordered this one: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/CASE101-1.html I'll let you know how it looks/fits when I get it. The reviews are very good.

Just finished this one.[STRIKE] Still need to "rust" it in a garbage bag, then cover it in motor oil and light it on fire. But it's together.[/STRIKE] I decided to leave it be after I covered it in old motor oil and lit it on fire- it's got a very nice "used" hue to it now. And the athletic wrap gives your nose a blast of old motor oil when you get a nice cheek weld. Big thanks to 45collector for the front end of this puppy. It'll be a good shooter, I think. It's a mixture of imported Russian AKM (rear trunnion, trigger guard), bulgarian AK47 (bolt, carrier, selector), Egyptian AKM (grip), Bulgarian AK74 (top cover, recoil spring), and Romanian AKM parts (barrel, front trunnion, sight leaf, selector stop).
Added some flair along with a few laniards I found kicking around in the trash at work...
If I were to take up arms tomorrow to defend my freedom, this is what I'd carry over my shoulder.
Suck it, Trebek!

Nice Adam. The Hello Kitty sling is a nice touch.
I agree. While I was fully expecting a shark's head with a laser mounted under the barrel, it definitely makes a statement.

I'm speachless. That's a pretty sick looking rifle. The Hello Kitty sling is way over the top! What do the people around you say when you shoot it? Are they as speachless as I am?

I haven't had the balls to shoot it at Braintree Rifle and Pistol club yet... given my track record of getting a lot of unnecessary "parenting" there, I'm guessing it's going to get a lot of attention. I gotta take it for a spin before the Comm2A shoot this weekend sometime this week, so it'll be interesting to say the least.
Going triggerless?
Its an AK, From what I've read on here It'll still shoot...
my East German. full rivet build on a Nodak reciever. glass beaded black oxide to finish it off.
i'm quite happy with it
