Boris, posting over at Northeast Shooters, details his method for purchasing a $2 shovel at a flea market and making it into an AK-47.

I cut the handle from the shovel and fashioned it into a buttstock for my Bulgy AK with ever changing furniture. This new butt stock had proven to be surprisingly comfortable. Well, this is not the end, it’s a beginning, because one night I was drinking with the shovel and contemplating what to do with it. It’s funny, when you are sober, you can’ understand how a shovel can share with you a delicious drink of vodka. So I said to shovel, I will re-unite you with your handle and we had another round of drinks to celebrate! … and then I cut it up.

Lotsa pictures and amusing how-to information at the link.

(Thanks to the well, but not nearly as elegantly, armed Gerard at American Digest for sending that one along)
