Already shared this on a few other threads. I have a real AK-47 (machined receiver) and I wanted an AK-74 to round out the collection. This is as close as I could get.
This was a WE PMC turned into a AK-74N. Weathered for realism. Pretty easy to put together. Got a Russian furniture set from the Ukraine. Turned out to be NOS so it all required fitting. Plus the WE doesn't use the same receiver plates on the buttstock end. Gas tube required machining. Fitting RS selector is a PITA, recommend AEG replacement. Rear sight from a real AK-74 was a drop-in affair.
