Got my Bulgarian AK74 with U.S. barrel today. The bolt & carrier are brand new, the rest of the parts look carried some, shot little at worst. They are all going to get gunkoted so this AK74 is going to look like new when done. It's non-matching (bolt and carrier match, the rest are mix-master), but I want a shooter, not a safe queen.
I was missing a couple of small parts, a phone call to APEX and a short talk with Jan and the parts will be on their way tomorrow.
I've heard the lower HG on Bulgy '74s can look nice. Mine is more suited to a presentation-grade shotgun than an AK. Wow, tiger striping and a rich, deep walnut color. The buttstock is somewhat interesting in that most of a brittle first finish has chipped off and a second finish has been laid over it. All the wood should clean up nicely to match the new look the metal parts will be given.
A great price ($210), APEX has sold me another winner! Thank you!
