My Saiga IZ132 Retro AKM build
Since I got a set of used early Russian plum colored wood AKM furniture (walnut, at that) back from my best friend, I decided to restore my factory configuration Saiga IZ132 featureless build, to a retro AKM build. It has the requisite kydex Solar Tactical paddle on the beautiful bakelite grip to make it "featureless so I can use my "Legally possessed by me in California prior to 1-1-2000" high capacity magazines.
Here's what I started with:
