I ordered it from Aimsurplus on the 5th and picked it up late last and been giving it a thurogh cleaning and such.

But here the detail's

The parts as far as I can tell are from a 1975 issue FPK and and surprisingly well kept for being 34yrs old and in case to many questions by family as to where it came from I just answer look it was made the year I was born whistling.gif to throw them off topic.

Ok back to my com-bloc rifle.

Bolt,carrie,top cover all matching #'s but the selector seems to be from another rifle and it had a good goob of rust that required me to break out the gun's for a cleaning.

The finish is typical for a eastern bloc rifle but isnt at all bad. Just a few scratches here and there but no big issue's. If I ever get the chance to refinish it at a later time I will but its the last thing on my mind.

Wood is clean and purdy with no cracks just a small indentation here or there. Scope rail has a lil bend in frt and behind the locking notch but the scope slides on with a lil luv tap and comes off easy.

Scope is clear for something made in 1978 and you'll see in the pic's below.

Mags dont match and I hope they work or Im off to play the do I have your mag game at the akforum.net .

I like how the ammo is still fairly cheap (one reason I got it) but I got to experiment and see what she like's the best and at the same time a outdoor range that wont freak at me shooting mild steel core ammo (sigh)









Hoping that I can find a range that is friendly and I can give you all a range report in the coming week's.

I will be eagerly awaiting your review, I am curious about how AIM products perform being that their prices are so low.

i have 2 AIM ak's. one i havent fired yet, but the other is 10 years older, and runs like a MILLION bucks. im going to be picking up an AMD65 and dragunov rip (like this thread shows) in the near future. i also picked up a number of AK mags from them and copes, both seem identical. copes are just usually cheaper!

Funny that you mention that because I am interested in their AMD model also. My biggest worry is that, being they are apparently Century builds, I don't want any keyholing issues like their Tantal model had.

Sorry for the late range report ( been a lil busy )


But the 1st pic is what I did at 50yd's and all ammo shot was bulgarian LW surplus.



And what I did at 100yd's



All & all I we (took some new shooters) about 25rd's over an hour and a half all the time trying not to let the barrel get to hot.


A bargain for a rifle of this class and my new favorite. I used a folded up hoodie and sand bag as a support under the front of the reciever and figured I fired a round every 3-5 minute's and the new shooter's probably shot 1 round a piece but they were more intertained by my 10/22.

A stronger scope would be something Id go for in the near future and learning how to clean the current finish and parkerize it would be something else Id like to do.
