Ya it's true he's going all out. He already fitted real steel hadnguards on it and we're working on the stock today. He's also picking up some sweet metal parts including a reciever and what-not. Wouldnt it be easier just to buy a REAL AK and put airsoft internals??? I can get one for 300$....Ill make my mods the fast/easy way -cp Oh..the mod does look cool tho...gotta love a 1-of-a-kind!!

Dude, I'm not saying you did a shitty job...I'm saying you could have put forth another hour's effort to make it that much better.
You're right, I haven't done any custom work. You know why? I don't care to. I enjoy tinkering, but not full-on fabrication...and I'm too impatient to build something custom to my standards (i.e. perfect). Y'see, I know my limitations, and thus, don't bother.
Anyhow...you made a custom grip. Good job. I would, however, recommend that you go back and fill that join in, then sand it smooth. It'd look much, much better if you did.

we did try, but the paint dried lumpy apparently man, I swear, it was as smooth as a babies ass before we painted it, and what sucks about the paint is that I cant really figure out a way to make it less lumpy unless I repaint it... and even then it could cause more lumps It still feels great im my hands, and all I have to do is avoid the lumps when I take pics ;D Here is a pic with grips mounted, and stock ontop of a box so it LOOKS like its already been mounted, but its just an optical illusion! www.pbase.com/image/31925199The flash went through the handguards and onto the opposite inside, so where there is supposed to be a black hole, you instead see the inside of the grip, but its the only way i could get the illusion to work (from that angle) Im going for the crappy BHD type akm as of now (my bro went off course clearing the stock and there is a little hole in the side, so we did the natural man thing and covered it with electrical tape). We'll see what she evolves into after I work on the ejection port and install the metal tell me what ya think!
