Just put a MAADI MISR SA in Commiefornia 10 day jail.

Was at my local dealer's when he asked me if I would be interested in a "basket case" AK project. It is an MISR barreled receiver (with threads turned off), along with a big bag of all the parts to go with it, as well as the original wood (with a funky butt plate), which was badly sanded.

This MAADI will be a perfect platform to do a Kali featureless build with. The bag had a Tapco G2 FCG, which was a good thing. It also had the gas block replaced with one with the bayonet lug still intact. I may try threading the barrel 1/2x28 like some have, and using a CNC Warrior 1/2x28 slant brake. If not, I'll use a standard muzzle nut soldered on so the bayonet worked. The paint is awful and I plan on stripping and repainting it. Rustoleum Semi-gloss High Temp black worked great on the Saigas I redid, so I will try that.

Until about a year ago, I have continuously had an AK since the mid 80s when I got a Poly Tech Type 56 Spiker. Lat year I let my Hungarian Under-folder go because it sucked as a featureless build. I still have my mags, so I figured it was time to get another AK, and the price was definitely right! (but I'm not saying how much!)

Finally got some pictures of my Egyptian Girl.... All matching numbers, by the way.

It was filthy and broken down in pieces in a box when I got it. It cleaned up really nicely, though. The top handguard spring (goes around gas tube) was shot, so I replaced that with a NOS one I had kicking around from when I did Saige restorations back in the day. The gas tube was also a corroded mess, so I replaced it with a NOS gas tube (Hungarian, I think) I also had in my AK parts box. It had no cleaning rod, so I got one off ebay, and I got Hungarian muzzle nut from Apex. The muzzle on the MAADI was turned down to around 1/2", so the nut slipped on very nice. I used JB Weld to attach it. It came with the original gas block with the bayonet lug neutered, but the prior owner replaced it with a gas block with bayonet lug. It was pinned perfect, so whoever did it knew what they were doing.

The bayonet was as pictured, so I ordered a rubber insulator and hanger for the sheath to finish it off. The mags I have had since I had a CA RAW in the 80s. The chest pouch is a Chinese Type 81 four cell pouch that I upgraded with Fastex buckles. I also have a Hungarian 5 cell shoulder bag and a Russian three cell pouch and some other magazines kicking around. The Kydex paddle is to make it California "Featureless" so it is not an Assault Weapon.....

Wish I was closer, I'd show up with a case of 1200 steel cased ball and we could warm it up a bit...

I did a magazine full of Tulammo 122 FMJs to check function. Shooting freehand from a standing position, it is absolutely dead nuts on at 25 yards (with rear sight on 200), whacked 3"-4" pinecones with every shot. That should easily do a 12" gong at 100 yards.... Heck With my 67 year old eyes, 100 yards is about all I can do with Iron Sights, even with my 1/7 twist M4gery using MK262 MOD1 77 grainers..

Certainly good enough for Goblin/Zombie/Troll/Raving Insurrectionist whacker at 200 yards or under.

Dovid-19 Zombies are just around the corner gear up!

Did it come rolled up in the Egyptian rug instead of a case?

Actually my wife had picked that rug up at Pier One imports for a rug for or Chocolate lab to sleep on. Makes a perfect backdrop for an AK picture, doesn’t it!!!!!
