Need to mine some SLACKER knowledge

[Vermiform]

Ok, so I bought this print and had it framed:

And I traded G19MAG for his TULA build. Now I want to find furniture for it that matches the color of the furniture in this print. Then I will hang it on the wall above the print in the livingroom and it will be a piece of wall art that I can grab in a pinch and investigate noises outside. I live in a very rural area.

Also, I want a mag that matches the one in the print. Can someone identify it? A link to buy one?

Also, I want to mount a small picatinny rail on the left side of the rifle to attach a light to. The rail will be hidden while it is hanging. Might even have it duracoated to match the color of the furniture so it won't stand out. What are your thoughts on the best way to go about it? Drill the handguard?


The mag doesn't even need to be functional and will be just for show. A real mag will be hidden close by along with a dedicated weapon light ready to slide on to the rail.

Looks like a Bulgy bakelite mag.
Furniture would probably be birch, with just a natural urethane sealer.
You could probably find non-laminated surplus furniture and refinish on the cheap.

birch furniture, russian slabside magazine. I think.

I have a small rail if you need it

I have never seen factory furniture like that except for the Ironwood stuff. The mag is a Russian slabside, they can run close to $100 now, if you can find one.

I may have one somewhere already. If not, I'll buy that one off of you.

$100 pre-hysteria or post-hysteria?

They beat me to it. Russian slabside mag, and the furniture is not standard Russian. A set of Ironwood blonde furniture with just clear or shellac would do the trick.

As for adding a rail, the RS Products barrel mounted rail pic rail/light mount is probably the best option. Good design and no need to jack up the handguard.

But will the bbl mounted rail show when the rifle is hung?

 

[Vermiform]

Just looked. Very nice design for the rail, but it will show too much for my purposes I think.


BTW, thanks for all the replies so far! good stuff!

In that case yes, you can buy a simple 2" rail section and mount it with wood screws if you're careful. The downside is the AK handguards are small and the rail/light eat up a lot of room.

Yep, just got done looking at the red furniture on it now. I wonder if small bolts and nuts wouldn't hold better. Think there is room inside for a nut?

It's probably possible but it's pretty tight in there. I'd have to pull a rifle out and look.

Don't go through the trouble bro. I'll sit down tomorrow and pull this one apart. I'll also dig through my parts and see if I have some old rommy furniture I could possibly strip down. Hey, didn't someone on here have some ironwood blonde for sale at one time?

 

[Vermiform]

NVM, it was BS875 and it was just a PG.

Free if you need it

May be a little long for what you want

I think so too, but I do appreciate the offer.

They were a little cheaper before the panic but I have not seen one for sale lately.

Some small place had used ones for 50$ ill try to find them.

Hey Verm you ever make any progress on this? I was digging in the parts bin earlier and found a 2" pic rail. Let me know if you want it.
