Facelift for my AK

So a couple of days ago i was wandering around the local canadian tire looking for some darts, i walked past the paint section and seen some nice camo spray paint. so i thought i would give painting my gun a shot seen as i can paint cars. I am quite happy with the way it turned out.

Before: Externally stock TM AK 47S


After paint:

Ditto. Buy a woodkit and a metal receiver, and drag it through some gravel and dirt. Theres you're facelift

Cheers,

I think it looks pretty good, the black however looks a little glossy but it can be the lighting in the photo. All you need to do is get it dirty and it'll look really good.

Nice job on the paint, but not exactly true to the weapon. I think it would be a better reception @ http://www.pballcanada.com/

But I'm a purist when it comes to AK's - have you considered switching the receiver back to black, and updating the furniture to the new style railed?

It would look more SF if it had a custom stock and optic. Other than that, it look practical and clean.
