I like the modified Maxim. It reminds me of the magnificint U.S. M1919A6.
Or we could just ask why? The modified Maxim looks very bulky. Maybe best to leave it as it was and just add optics?

Donbas salt mines had stored small arms for at least 2 mio men , In a separate video there is mountain loads of PPSh. But much of the arms are like you see WW2 vintage , But realisticaly this is crap that will be of much use only to collectors .
In 2012 Russian military had over 16mio guns of all types in storage , in 2015 6.5mio were designated for disposal , there was a scheme where manufacturers would exchange 3 stored AK for 1 new , but i don't know it that actually happened as unless you sold them off to US its kinda hard to sell 4mio guns to civilian market at profit

Clinton era Assault arms ban also banned the import of 58 types of modified military arms ,kept most of the worlds AK surplus out of US market. First ban on AK imports was already enacted in 89 after a mass shooting with an AK47
Having it modified for semi auto would not be much of an issue tough. And right up to latest bans under Trump Aks were imported under various guises with US made parts added ....
