My son's AKM build FINISHED

[Bill Hollinger]

Hey all, I've been working getting this Polish AKM prepped for my son Jeff's first build. He's coming out to stay with me for a week while on leave from the Corps. I wanted to optimize every moment with him while he's here so I've been chipping away at the prep for a while now. I'm using a Childers receiver and an AKBuilder matching kit I've had for some time. The barrel is populated, head spaced and all the holes are drilled in the receiver for front and rear trunnions. I've already done a mock up with the FCG installed and everything aligns perfect. I did rivet the trigger guard on.

Jeff requested I do the wood dark red like some Russian AKs have and he wanted an extra twist and wanted the finish a high gloss. He explained he would always cherish this as his first father son build so I agreed. I hate working with wood but I'm very impressed with how this turned out.

We'll be putting it all together in a few weeks I welcome your comments.
