Maadi refurb

[1in9twist]

Picked up an old Maadi AK that needed some love.





Had some odd parts, goobered up front sight, bayo lugs cut off, etc. Sniffed out some parts from various sources.








Little beatin & bangin and its ready for refinishing.

nice...

 

[War Squirrel]

What'd ya pay for it? Seems like it'd be a fun project!

 

[1in9twist]

I think I gave $400 for it.

 

[BrocLuno]

Worthy project

 

[1in9twist]

She is in the shop getting parked,coated and the wood redone. I am anxious to see it finished.

 

[RobGR]

Nice work! Look forward to seeing the finished picks.

 

[1in9twist]

All done!

I would say that the project was a success! That's a very nice looking Maadi. I think anyone would be happy to own that. It probably will mean a little more to you because of the work you put into it. Good Job!

I didn't realize there was a 'crown of upper and lower Egypt' mark on those. (That's what's around the 93 )

 

[HoosierQ]

Dr. Rob

You beat me to it on the crown comment. I am an ancient "Egyptophile" and had never seen that mark before. Way cool.

 

[zhyla]

Very, very nice job. The stock looks much better than before.

 

[1in9twist]

Thanks! I am pretty happy with it. Now I gotta find an Arabic marked rear sight leaf. That will be the finishing touch.

 

[Cal-gun Fan]

Wow...great project! You really turned that thing into one beautiful looking rifle.

Is that an INTrac KNOX TN marked MAADI? They were pumping a lot of them out back then. The price was $200 total back then.
