Cardboard AK-74

[APOLOGIES FOR BLURRY PICTURE] A cardboard AK-74 replica I made back in February. I'm not sure of the exact dimensions of a real-steel AK-74, but I was told it's 1:1, however it has a few imperfections. For one, I know the stock is way too small and the magazine looks more like a Saiga-12's than an AK-74's. It has a working trigger, charging handle, magazine release, adjustable rear sight, removable cleaning rod, and it's able to field strip. The extent of its ability to field strip is very limited - the most you can do is remove the machinery cover, the recoil spring guide rod, and the bolt carrier. The rail on top of the handguard is actually able to fit a reflex sight (which I use for airsoft). The magazine is inserted just like a real AK, but the magazine release still has a few bugs that have yet to be addressed. I don't have any plans to paint this.
