How did yours turn out?Oh I've seen all your videos when I was building my alpha 5.56 Jack! Didn't know you were also a member of this group, keep up the good work
Pretty much the same, except mine is all black and I'm running Fakelite mags I'm planning to get my barrel and receiver cerakoted soon though, possibly dark grayish.How did yours turn out?

AKV is coming along nicely. Added some polish wood to it and a cone muzzle and a surplus grip from Romania

SLR-105 5.45x39 w/ side-folder
This is a double rivet bullet guide rifle, and was built using Tula parts but assembled at Circle 10
There is maybe 1k of these ?
Cool gun. Stock was installed by Matt Yeamans way back.
There are a number of Bulgarian Aks74 made with Tula parts. When the Bulgarians began domestic production of the Aks they were supplied with recievers with trunnions and stocks. Most of them are 1991 production guns. Take a look at the attached screenshots.I thought Tula never manufactured the 74 in but an extremely small quantity at the start. They switched over to the 74su. From what I gather, most Russian non-civilian rear trunnions in the states are all Tula krink take offs, and any rolled strut/ribbed butt stocks are also from Tula’s. Flat struts/butts are Izzy’s and Izzy Folding trunnions are near impossible to find in the states. I have an Izzy 87’ and have been searching for some time.
Cherry!!!I have two handguards for the vepr. One is Walnut, like the stock. The other is Cherry. I finished both with the same stain and shellac, but obviously the cherry took less of the oil based stain than the walnut and it led to a really pretty contrast with the stock. I can't choose between the color matched walnut or the bright handguard.
Opinions?
First Walnut
