1962 AKMS pics

Thanks for the replies guys! Pics should be up later on.

The people we replaced aquired this AKMS along with a Chinese SKS and a .303 Enfield from some burly dudes who have a knack for shooting bad people in the face. The rifles were a gift, repayment for some work they'd done for the burly dudes. Talking to the burly dudes, the previous owners are no longer among the living.

The bolt and rear sight leaf are missing. The bolt carrier and the top cover numbers match. If there are any details I should have shot, let me know.

Many thanks to nalioth for hosting the pics, and to jithaca and phreakmode for the offers to host.

Great work on your battlefield pick-up project, Dave! :lol:

Think I overdid the scotchbrite?

Was all that damage done when the burly dudes helped the previous owners leave the living behind?

I believe so. Some of it looks like bullet holes, while the damage in front of the mag well's hard to tell.

Fantastic pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hail: :hail: :hail:


Does the rear trunnion only have 2 rivet heads per side?

If it were only possible without losing a rank, money, and career over. Regulations suck.

If the charging handle and bolt was still there, I bet it would keep on goin...

ak_nut....your forgetting the gas chamber, your slipping bro....LOL....

damn!

Looks more to me like a "Our-E.D." (instead of I.E.D.) got a hold of it!! :lol:

Nice pics though.........I'm with Warbaby, I bet it would still run.

WoW!.........Just Wow.
Did you find any bullet/shrapnel fragments within the receiver?
I'll bet if it had a bolt it'd keep going. :neutral:

I didn't find any fragments

More than a few bullet strikes there. Good job Burly Guys!! :smile:
