I getting this PLO AKM tomorrow, appears to be parkerized & I want to change the finish. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks

Awesome Russian AK sasm7 , were you thinking of going with a paint over park , like the Soviets originaly did ?

If you were , i think there is a moly resin that looks very close to the original finish .

P.S. dont ya love that russian laminated wood !!

 

[sasm7]

Yes, the laminated wood is my favorite. I have a bunch of mak 90 with russian wood. I would like to keep like the original Russian's + I wanted just to go over the park finish.

Is this a gun from Joken Firearms? I?m not trying to start a hate thread; I was thinking about buying a Russian AKM from them and would like to get more details...

I doubt it. That looks like a GT-AUSA receiver to me.

PLO kit? Can you show pics of the trunnion?

I'd get a Russian pistol grip, Russian sling and paint over park on the metal.

It does have a global trade receiver on it. I don't have it in hand yet. I have a ftf tomorrow. I know it doesn't have matching numbers I asked. The sling is wrong, the grip looks wrong also. I'll check out tomorrow. It needs work I know, will see if its worth it. The wood is right. I won't buy a JoeKen AK, only parts from him. He says there are no markings on trunnion. There should be something right?

 

[Greentimber]

Should be. Post some detailed pics when you can.

 

[sasm7]

The sells picture did not do this justice. I will not have to durocoat it.
Here are some better pictures. Change the pistol grip & removed the sling.
It came with a certificate of authentisity. JoeKen kit but not assembled by them. Has a global trade receiver.

sasm7 : What part of AZ are you in ? ,
my parents have a home in Fountain Hills ,
and i am going on vacation there in 3 weeks ,
i cant wait to get some trigger time in
-and do some desert exploring !-
, as i live in Chicago - and there
is no place to shoot within 150 miles -
and im freezing my ass off !!!!

The bore is excellent, it really surprised me how nice this is.

I live in North Phoenix, I do do work in Ftn Hills, There are alot nice spots out here to shoot. We have great guns laws also.
