I dont usually post customer rifles too often on here anymore, I feel like its theirs to post but I was so happy with the paint on this one, I just wanted to share. I had gotten some input from a very knowledgeable source awhile back regarding the application of this paint and I was finally able to use this info! Thanks again!

Nice, I could have you do my Atlantic firearms 1962 kit but you’d need to repaint the entire thing and I’d need to find wood for it. You see Atlantic lied and said they were very good to excellent which they were not.

Nice! Man. I've got like 4 builds I need to send to you guys. 85 Izzy AK74, AMD65, 1968 Izzy AKM, and a clone of a 1968 Izzy A3 (545). I need to get moving on that. Probably start with the 68 AKM and AMD65...

Paint looks awesome, prolly need that to. 😆👍

Thanks for the info of your website. So your website says build ak $525 no paint no rivets no machine work. So if you add a barrel of $200 kit $1,700 paint River work about $500 so this build right here would be around $2900? In the initial build does that include demill and head spacing the new barrel? Or is that extra. Price is not got to be exact but pretty close to the ballpark would be appreciated thank you.

beautiful workmenship and build.could you give up the breakdown on a build like this one on a russian kit.using the same things you did to this rifle to let members know the real cost of having thier kit built by one of the best pro builders in the country. So your website says build ak $525 no paint no rivets no machine work. So if you add a barrel of $200 kit $1,700 paint River work about $500 so this build right here would be around $2900?
