Thumbs up to Madrox and his giveaway goodies.

Okay a couple of Sundays back I won the giveaway where Madrox was giving away an AK74 style muzzle break and a Magpul pistol grip. Well the package showed up today. I just got the parts installed. I have to say this goes a long way towards making my lowly WASR look better. I'm posting before and after pics below. I think it came out damn good.
This is the first and only Magpul accessory I've ever had. Didn't think much of their AR stuff. But this grip looks good on this rifle and it feels way better. The factory grip was skinny and kinda short. And the 74 style muzzle break is my personal favorite. It went on with no problem. But what's the reason for the left hand threads?

Anyway, here's to Madrox for a good giveaway on good useable stuff. Now I gotta get some furniture that don't look like used packing crate lumber.

Good stuff.

It IS good stuff. I just need a stock that wasn't intended for a midget and maybe a few Bakelite mags. But seriously the factory stock on my WASR is only 9" long. Is everyone in Romania a dwarf?

Looks good! So Romanians are short on wood, hunh? I think magpul has a solution for that too- although probably not for the Bakelite purist.

Well I like Bakelite mags but that's about it. I've looked at Tapco Timbersmith wood sets that are nice but pricey. Their side folders kinda suck but they're cheap enough. Then there's the triangle folder that looks the best but costs about $90.00 and requires a spring loaded hinge from another company that's about $60.00 more.
So what is the best stock route fora $550.00 WASR?

I'm going to have to go with a few blocks of wood for spacers and some glue. As they say in the aircraft business... Beat to fit and paint to match.

Yeah I don't mind so much the hand guards up front. I'm sure I could sand them down and refinish them to a satisfactory look. But even if I refinish the stock it will still look like it should be carried by some Pakistani school kid. Maybe I should just do the spacer between the stock and butt plate. That would be the cheapest rout but the least appealing.

I love Magpul stuff. Especially the AK mags. I even have a Magpul sticker on the back windshield.
