The remarkable BAM B3 / AK47

[Josie & John]

Found an old fiddle case for sale around the corner from me for a fiver, so couldn't resist...

Just need to sort out some straps or padding.

I love it!

Thanks John. It floats my boat and is almost a perfect fit.

I bought this sight for a Lion but it also fits the BAM.

Archer Airguns used to do a reworked version that looked a whole lot better and I adopted a similar style on my own. Can't see any pictures on the web - but one of the airgun mags has Stephen Archer writing for them now - so he'd be worth talking to...

People are still mucking around with them and here is a Dragunov styled one...http://topguns.ru/zhdu-mnenij-bam-xs-b3-1/?n=10

Wasn’t there an outfit in the U.K. in the 90s that briefly tried selling Chinese sidelevers dressed up with the furniture and other bits from old Russian rifles like Mosin-Nagants and possibly SVDs? I’m sure I read a review or two in AGW.

Yes, that was Trapper Industries. They're still trading but no longer converting air rifles after the law changed (Crime Reduction Bill). I still have one of their Mosins but stupidly sold the SVD some years ago.
