My first AK platform will be an AMD. Nice
I plan on doing a "modern" AK build. I started a thread on arfcom and will be doing a thread here as well. Anyway, I tried to base the build around an I.O. and was not happy with the rifle. I ended up selling it an buying an SGL-21. Arsenal makes a quality rifle.
I was thinking of putting a houge grip on it, if it fits. Other than that I am just waiting on the Cheek Riser from AMD Tech, going to work on getting the UltimAK rail mounted this week, looks like it will take some modding and tinkering but shouldn't be too hard.
As far as the 74, that is the one thing I have heard is good about IO, their warranty is honored and rifles are replaced. Just wondering if they would have an issue with the fact that I stripped the carrier and bolt of the finish they put on it...
One of the reasons was Neal suggested it, the other reason was the bolt and carrier on the 74 werent as smooth as they should have been in my opinion. After stripping what paint I could off of it I used 0000 steel wool and cleaned it up real well, and then I used never dull polish on all of the areas of contact and the receiver rails. Big difference in how the carrier pulls now, it slides back using just my pinkie finger and there are no hang ups.
And yes the stripped bolts look sweet.
You cleaned the rust off an AK? Didn't you know the Kalashnikovs use rust as a lube?!.. Lol
But anyhow, those amd's are cool. A buddy of mine has an original Hungarian.
