throw up some pics later on...

cool ................... but .................... wrong ................. section ............... buddy ............. ughhh ................ .

i tried to get a pic on it but it didnt work ...i dont know what i did wrong

Taping the picture on your screen won't make us able to see it. :roll:

there........was using the wrong photo.........and by the way aper...i dont find u funny

That kit looks great, well done man. Love to see a pic of that installed.

Very nice work man. Excellent job. Definately throw up pics when it's installed.

rgr that ...im going to stain and varnish this week end....and then r-install....btw they fit perfectly

Y'know what might look really good on that? Tongue (sp) Oil... it wouldn't add anything to the thickness, it'll finish it gorgeously, and it'll keep it protected well... You wouldn't get much colour, it'd just make it look like wet maple, but it would look really good, I've done a few pieces with it. My mom did her big chest of drawers she has in the living roomwith it, came out great

Just something I thought of.

wow looks great so far. Can't wait to see the finished product.

thx gandar....thats a good idea it would be nice to do some in a light natural maple for sure....ill post some pic's when they r done

Wow man, looks pretty good!

Looks good. However, there's one problem...it's too pretty. Beat it with a chain. Whittle your girlfriend's (or boyfriend's - I'm equal opportunity) name in it. Drag it through the dirt, then dump some motor oil on it.

THEN it will look like AK wood.

ur right skruface....it wont look good until its well used.....

If this is the same kit that i am thinking about, then im giving it "thumbsup"
I've seen this kit in person and it's awesome. Awesome work Jackman!!!!!

Pretty nice ***** job :tup: Can't wait to see those painted and fixed on your AK !

i got some of the finished pic's in the uploads section....the were too large to post here.....im a workin on some new pic's ...and will post here soon...........

that's cool I wood like to see more pic's when it's done

What do you do for a living exactly? I'd assume fabrication. That kit is simply amazing! What about making up an RPK kit? I hate to say it, but I like that kit you made more than the real steel Polish furnature I have on my AKM right now. Can you also make some nice foregrips without that vert grip? I love the vert grip but a few of us have the GP30 nade launchers so it wouldn't fit on that style of lower foregrip.

Cheers :tup:

I was gonna say.. those are absolutely beautiful...

Just for those people who don't want a vert grip, , if you make sets without, I'd bet there's plenty of interest.

It makes me want to buy another AK, just for that.

I forgot, well I did initially ... There is a way to make that little tab on the lower handguard stronger. You can guess the answer ... make it thicker. When I get real steel handguards I chop the tabs into a size twice the size of the Marui standard then modify the receiver to accept the new size. When Marui designed their lower handguard they only had plastic in mind, not wood. If I can ever get a snap shot of my hand guards I would be happy to show you.

rgr that...i would like to see pic's of that

Simply gorgeous. Looks even better on the gun!

guys...that kit is sick...solid as rock! when you hold it you kinda wanna go get pinstripe tails and wing tips! JACK...YA DOITY RAT!

Wow 8-O

Cool :tup:

.......W......o......W....... and i don't mean World of warcraft

freedom fighter......i used a wood called white oak for the tang going into the receiver....white oak is 'pound for pound' as strong as steel......and it seems to hold quite well......i fabricated a slot into the lower handguard and glued in the tang.....it was easier to align it that way.......also.....to make the lower foregrip handle stronger i put in a tensioned rod (nut and bolt) inside the whole length of the handle...

Amazing, even though I personally dont like front pistol grips on AK's, this one changed my mind! Simply amazing work! How long did it take you to make it?

Cheers,
Alex

ak 47 woodie
 

it took me aprox 24 working hours to make the prototype...including jigs to help speed up further fabrication.....if i make more at the same time it will also help to reduce the time for each individual piece....

Yeah i wouldnt doubt the time. Looks great!. My stock alone took 12 hours since i did it ALL by hand, lol. You could make yourself a pretty penny if you sold those.

I am definately interested in buying one. maybe without the pistol grip. who knows. it's the kind of thing I would have to hold before deciding.

anyway... very nice wood kit, let us know a price and ETA.

Just a min here I'm picking up my eyes as they rolled out when I saw that that, very very nice piece of work woodwork. Hop to see more of that in the future.

wow.......wow...............wow
i gotta get one of those!
but i wonder if it will fit my ICS AK74

nice work!

Vyper :salute:

VERY nice !! and yes any idea if you're gunna make more and what you would sell em for ?

Jackman let me used this beauty of an AK today at a game...you have to 'feel' the wood to appreciate the workmanship ;-)

Jack, you did a terrific job fabricating that set. Any chance I could check it out sometime? I do have a suggestion with regards to making that stub that protrudes from the rear of the lower handguard stronger. I've modded real steel wood grips and have also modded the receivers to match. Results in a stronger tab. Yes, I would also be extremely interested in one of these kits to say the very least. Hell, I'd probably strip the Polish furniture off my AK and put on one of these babies ...

Very nice jack!

i would like a set in the same finish w/o the front pistol grip, just a standerd AK grip up front, IF possible!!
PM'd if you are selling im interested!! :D

AK grips
 

Excellent job

I'll take one right now, pm'ed you.

thats pretty cool stuff right there!

Nice beter without the front grip

Very Nice. I have a question. How did you hollow out the stock?

If these are being sold I am most definatly intrested, PM me a price if you could be so kind (or inclined)

Better chance of success if you PM him, as this is a dead thread.

Even so, looking at it again, that is one sexy set of wood (and no, that does not by any means sound right.). Seriously, very, very impressed still.

she's a beaut. my friend
