All-New: Type 81M

Does anyone know if you can convert the US Palm AK magazines to work with type 81? I know you
Can convert other AK mags but I notice the US palms have that extra ridge / material
On the side, wondering if anyone has converted one of these, I have not been able to find a video or anything for the US palm mags specifically.

Do you guys do anything or have any ideas to dull or replace the pitch black paint on these without causing damage or compromising the steel?

I'm looking to turn it into a classic AK look, and I don't think the pitch black paint is good looking

Thanks

I stripped off some of the paint on my bolt carrier in a place where you'd never see it, but it just revealed a phosphate finish unsurprisingly. You will probably need to sand or bead blast it and polish it. No idea why this batch has a black carrier.

These were made to counter all the ak type mods and just put out a more AK looking rifle, hence the blued carriers

If you are going for a Russian AK look, you should paint the rifle black. I have a can that matches the look pretty well and is available from most hardware stores, I think it is Rustoleum low gloss black. I will confirm that when I get a chance though.
 
Here’s a question for ya’ll. Will a mag modified to fit T81 still fit and function in an AK magwell? For example if someone had an M10x and T81 and wanted to share mags between both guns.

A lot of guys refinishing AKs go with black Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy. It’s a very tough finish and should be “baked” in an oven after application to get the best results, apparently you can vary the shine with the amount of cooking time. I bought some for my AR180Bs Upper Receiver but ended up selling the gun before I used it. The amount of opinions online for how to use it for gun finishing is pretty mind numbing, but the basics seem the same.

Yeah that would be a really good one as well and I have heard good things. Would definitely be tougher than the original AK paint that will come off with anything harsher than CLP

That’s weird. I got my rcmp notification on Friday and tracking number today. 288xx

Sounds like there is a problem with your order - that sucks! Does your shipping address match the RCMP address?
