So /k/, this is in the Ottawa War Museum.

Anyone wanna tell me what kind if AK it is?
>>
AKMS
>>
>>29155038
but don't those have underfolding stocks?
>>
>>29154910
some type of mix master akm
the pistol grip and top handguard are german
the stock is an egyptian crutch
unsure about the lower handguard but its kinda weird cause the majority of ones with that palmswell are laminate and thats not
>>
>>29154910
Did they seriously not label it?

God damn that place is a pile of shit. The tank garage in the basement is cool but everything else in the museum was lit by a blind man. I took photos and sent a complaint letter last time I was there; they even had stuff inside glass cases being lit by spotlights FROM OUTSIDE! Glare city, impossible to see. The museum director needs to be taken out back and shot.

>>29155083
that stock does not look OEM. AKM because ribbed dust cover at least
>>
I'm thinking that's an East German MPi-KM or -KMS that was modified by the Egyptians. Maybe someone knows if East Germany sent AKs to Egypt?
>>
>>29154910
mah ottawa nigga

>>
>>29154910

>>

Which variant?
>>
>>29159134
the one Ian -senpai likes
>>
that mount is overkill.

Are the Canadians really worried about someone breaking into a museum for weapons?
>>
>>29155088
Could be a frankengun.However maadi misr rifles do often come with mismatched handguards.Due to lack of strict QC on the AK production lines, maybe this gun had a different grip installed (due to lack of locally produced grips?) and didnt have the lower handguard laminated.Who knows.

>metal bar placed on front metal thingy
>begins to droop
>they don't place on the wood guard which wouldn't bend
>????
>>
>>29156659
Interesting, when I was there the sign above it encouraged you to pick it up to feel the weight. I never should have though, because after I did I wanted to saw those bars off and take that fucker to the nearest range.
>>
>>29155088
The lower handguard is also East German. They issued blond wood lower handguards before they got the Bakelite ones right
>>
>>29155111

This, lol.

At a museum you expect a plaque with a little info about what's being displayed.
>>
>>29154910
I've been there! Pretty neat. If my phone had more memory I would have taken pictures.
>>
>Ottawa War Museum.
>No description plaque of any sort even near the artifact
>Maybe QR code? Nope, nothing.
Do Canadians not have Public History programs or something? Hell, that shit is exhibit design 101.
