Updated the Russian AKM

[JD7.62]

I finally got around to painting the receiver and then "aging" it to attempt to match the rest of the rifle. I think it turned out ok, could still be better though. I also added a more period correct stock set with the sling swivel on the side as well as a slant brake.

What do yall think? I think shes oh so purdy.

To be clear I just painted th receiver, aka the "body" of the gun.

I am still torn on rather or not I want to send her of to Mario at Piece of History Firearms to let him do his magic on her and return her to her original glory or not.

Here is an example of what she would look like.
