I took it to alex at Dreadnaught, but he had an associate he works with do the duracoat after he blasted all the old paint off. I put the stock on.
Not sure I get you??? The old stock is gone. Has a new stock and pistol grip.
From the markings it looks like a MAADI (mine has the same)? Finish was never their strong point. Mine looks pretty rough, too. I'm assuming yours has they neutered bayonet lug, as well?
One cool thing about them is that Egypt was the only country to stamp its AKs out on original Russian machinery. Many people say it's the closest thing to an original AK as most people will ever get.
Nice work! I thought it would be fun to buy a junker AK and do a gold duracoat job on it. It's the poor man's Hussein AK. It would certainly turn heads at the range (maybe not for good reasons). Most people would probably think it's "Gangsta."

Are you sure that's an AK? The front bits sure do look like it, but then it got confused towards the rear and thought it was an M4. It's like you ran out of time, money, and interest and just said "screw it, I don't need a proper folder or even an ACE block adapter" and slapped on the most horrid stock you could possibly put on an AK.
Yes...thats what happened.
this is a gun I intend to actually shoot. therefore I put a stock on it that is comfy. AKs with folding stock suck donkey parts. They are horid IMO. that stock is a bit longer and fits my taller frame better than the teeny tiny AK furniture that many offer.
I am sad that you dont approve.
Wait...no I'm not. I like the way it looks.
OOOOOHHHhhh!
Some how i did not see that you had removed that old dragunov style stock in the updated pictures, so i thought you just sprayed it a different color, and left the old stock on it. Nice!
That will work too.
I figured if I am going to strip it down and have it sandblasted or soda blasted, I might as well throw the duracoat on. This one had some deep scratches which I wanted gone and not covered up.
The spray paint method can look good too if done right. Its definately cheaper!!

I think maddis are excellant AK's for the money. What where you looking to replace the muzzle nut with and are there any plans for restoring the bayonet lug?
I am gonna just stick a regular AK slant brake on there for now. Havent given much thought to the bayonet lug.

I put a regular slant brake on mine as well and didnt experiance any problems but just a heads up that some people have reported larger groups after putting a slant on. I have a more traditinal looking maadi and plan to keep it that way but i can apriciate a man making a rifle his own. If you get any slap form it you might wana put in a G2 trigger group or if you want a nice RSA adjustable trigger.
