The one he is holding sure is nicely finished.

A milled receiver Second Model, and with what appears to be solid birch [maybe walnut] furniture rather than the usual laminated wood/plywood butt,gripand foreend. Not, however, the very early *slabside* magazine without the stiffening grooves. Pretty, but about a kilo heavier than the later circa-1959 AKMs.
