Default Weld Build AK47

Just thought I would let ya'll laugh at my horrible welding skills...

Front trunnion pulled right out AFTER fudging up the receiver trying to weld it together...

Carried it to a buddy with a little more skill and knowledge with weld builds AK's and he fixed it right up. All I need now is paint.

I've put some rounds through it yesterday. First round I turned my head and held it at arms length away. after that didn't fudge up I let her eat.

Also hit it with a shot of flat black rustoleam until I have the time to finish smoothing the receiver, sand blast the whole thing, and duracoat it. Also need to strip the wood and re stain it. Gonna cut the Donkey Dick of the front hand guard and round it out.

Little paint and it almost looks like it's straight from Russia!
