My Polish Tantal Build Finished.
« on: May 27, 2016, 02:48:58 PM »
I don't really like a new looking AK-74 Rifle it takes the life and fun of ownership away, too me anyway.  :roll:

I really love the BFPU look, here is my most recent build with a Robert Bowman used Kit, a Childers Receiver, and a Chrome line Green mountain barrel.

They look OK and everything, but building or buying a rifle that is made to look like a BFPU, is like buying those pre-ripped an faded jeans.
Experience is the hardest kind of teacher, it gives the test 1st and the lesson after.

Courage is knowing it may hurt and doing it anyway.
Stupidity is the same.
This is why life is so hard.

:) Well it is what it is, besides you shouldn't worry what anyone else thinks about your rifle anyway right?

I get enough wear on mine anyway, I don't need to start them out looking worn.  That would just bug to refinish it, so I can wear it off again.

Heh, well at the risk of making it about me even more, I was in one sentence, just explaining my rationale of not liking the BFPU idea, attempting to keep from offending you with my earlier comment, which I never intended.  I am not criticizing, it's just not my preference. I don't think it would have been better if I explained why you should not or just said its looks bad would it? 

Looks like a nicely done build of a worn rifle. With that I will leave this thread and let this be all about you from now on if it makes you feel better.
