These are some photos of a recent MG34 "look a like" project I've just completed. Its based an a AK74 and any other bits I had around as I only had a limited budget and tools, the "doppel trommel" is an M4 one modded to fit an AK. I've tried to make it as accurate as possible within the constraints of the AK body. Feedback appreciated

a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well

Did you buy the bipod? or is it made?
Interested to know if you made the stock as that looks very good.

Hi, basically I fibreglassed a piece of aluminium strip to the top of the existing AK receiver bent at an angle towards the stock, the top red line, (after trimming the old site down marked in yellow)...

I then glued some square aluminium section, around where the feed hole would be, marked again in red. I then fibreglassed and body fillered the area in blue to make it look like a solid section. This gave me a hinged top cover similar to an MG 34.

I hope that helps :)
Cheers

really impressive stuff. Did you have a template to make the stock or was it just guess work. I am interested in making a stock myself but don`t have any real dimensions to go on.
