Cerakote on an AK? Way to fancy for me. I used Brownells Aluma-hyde this time. I've also used high-temp spray paint.
It's an AK. It's supposed to get scratched.
Just an update. I took both rifles out today to get some rounds through them. Neither had any feeding or ejecting issues. The AMD65 shoots a little to the left but that's fixed. I ordered some of the Korean 20 round mags. Standard 30 round magazines are not always easy to insert with the 65's...
I finished up my Hungarians, AMD-65 and AMD-63 UF, last weekend with a trip under the torch. This weekend I painted the receivers. And yes, the Lair is a mess right now as I'm still in the building it out.

Looks like you have 2 kits there with the various parts. The one with the G and the black stripe go together. Not sure on country/model of the other one but guessing Romanian.
