In Russia, there were always craftsmen who surprised the world with their skills and inventions. Especially good we manage to make a weapon. So Izhevsky Master Mikhail Kalashnikov created the legendary AK-47 automatic machine, which inspired another masters of brave it a copy of a simple garden shovel and iron tubes.
And this is by the way, not a Russian craftsman.
On the left in the photo by the way the vehicle from the shovel, and on the right of the sniper rifle of Dragunov (SVD).
But we run forward.
Master made it from the USA. He drove somehow by the store with a garden inventory, saw a shovel there and decided to buy. These were the best deal that could be done for 2 dollars, he thought.
Next, a small story about creating a machine to him.
The knob from the shovel, by the way turned later in the butt and surprisingly quite comfortable.
I decided to try on the old Kalash. The cat looks in bewilderment, the owner is again a bud?
Cut off the tray from the shovel, the body of the machine will be made of it.
Now you need to align this sheet of iron.
Rent a sheet, drill holes.
Left item from the real "Kalash", to the right of the future.
More details.
Drilling
Weld
It was the stem queue, one could buy the original for 200 bucks, but chose an option for 30 bucks.
On the bottom in the photo - the upper trunk from the real "Kalash", in the middle of the ready-made factory version of the trunk and the third, the collective farm option is our choice.
Processing the trunk.
We try.
Immediate parts.
We weld the parts from the present machine.
It remains very little.
Drilling holes for gases.
We try on the store, and butt from the shovel, everything seems to fit!
What is the most amazing - it shoots, and at the same time, a bullet lay pretty.
After 60 shots, the trunk was slightly heated, but my self-made AK-47 showed itself pretty good.
Total with minimal cost we get pretty good, combat-ready weapons. Thanks to Mikhail Kalashnikov for his great invention!
