AK Picture Thread

HAWT.... One of my draco's is the tdi furniture-equipped version of the same.... I should dig her out for a photo shoot [If i didn't move it to storage]
Thank you. It was a fun build. It's a virgin PM Md 90 (AIMR) kit I finally got around to putting together. Built on a Childers receiver and a Romanian manufactured 12" CHF/CL barrel. I changed out the handguards for a Russian refurb set I had laying around. Also added leather wrap to the brace to match the handguards and pistol grip wrap as well.

Please post pictures of yours, would love to see it.

Here's another picture with the brace folded.

I recently got a parts-kit built Izmash AKM, but I have noticed something missing from the receiver that I have seen on just about every other parts built AK. I am unsure what they are called, but on every example I have seen, there are several circular 'dimples' (much less shallow than the magwell dimple). There are indications where they ought to be and faint outlines on mine, but they are certainly not as solid as I have seen on other examples.
What is the proper term for these 'dimples', what are they for or what do they indicate, and is the lack of such going to be an issue? The first three pictures are mine, and the fourth is an example. Much thanks in advance.

Those are the spotwelds for the bolt rail..... Yours simply heat-marred the other side of the receiver wall less while welding yours than others.
