AMD 65 is done

[hoopharted]

finally got around to playing dress up with the old folder , changed the gas tube , added the slotted cheesy to match the lower handguard , added the riser to the wire folder and para wrapped it , WAAAAAAAY more comfortable , havnt shot it yet because its raining , but just shouldering it its like a whole ne rifle

now these shorties had the compensators welded on to get the length legal , i lived with this rifle having weld beads looking like canker sores for decades , so broke the dremel out and went to work , ground the welds down and polished it up real nice to make the compensator and FSB look like one piece , reblued where i did the work  and then knocked the bluing back down to match the rest of the rifle

also knocked the bluing down on the gas tube and cheesy grater for the same reason , coat of amber shellac on the grips , i long since put the original dust cover back on , that was a old "before" pic , wire folder locks up nice still , was worried the para cord may prevent it but G2G

you can see those welds on the before pic clear as day even from that distance

Awsome sauce with chips.  I didnt like mine until I got one of those add on cheek thingies.  I do like the size... they are light for an ak....  More like a krink in their original config w the shorter barrel.

Great job on cleaning up those welds and aging the bluing     Looks like a fun rig
