I fucked it up anyway and had to paint it. I am going to make another one out of a block of walnut and stain it. Once I fucked it up, painting was my only option.

I know that's right.

Yeah, there was something else I wanted to do to it before I painted it but couldn't remember what this morning so I sprayed it. After putting it back together I remembered. I wanted to take another 1/4" off the dong so 30rd mags would be easier to insert. Oh well, live and learn. Actually...

I'm calling it my AKM-5K

Truth. I won't carry anything with a manual safety.

I will own one. Not sure for what, but I will.

Bummer, I was looking forward to a sweet Garand. Oh well. What I need to do is just drive down to Anniston and pick one up with my handy dandy C&R FFL which I have never used for anything besides discounts.
