This is a Romanian G-code parts kit paired with a self-bent flat. Here's what the flat(s) I used looked like during...

This was a fun project that I recommend to anybody who doesn't have enough frustration and random expenses in his life. Next one I do will be parkerized; the Duracoat finish is nice, but there's nothing like a direct metal treatment.

Good job, it turned out pretty well. I look forward to the day that I have the time and means to really do something nice with the AK platform.

Nice wood btw!:D

If we work out a halfway point and a form of compensation I'll see what I cant work out in the form of getting your next AK parkerized.

I'd be all over that like sweat on a porn star.
