AK Build party!!!

[fingolfen]

Lots of ways to get to your 7 parts...

Some I'm keeping the Romy stock, so I have to go trigger group (3), receiver, gas piston, muzzle break, and pistol grip...

I tend to build all of mine to where I can use any mags...

Others I'm replacing the stock so the stock group, trigger group, receiver, slant break, etc. get me there.

The FTF setup says "AK-47 Romanian Parts Kit Set. Full Auto Parts Set Complete Less Rec." In the picture is a trigger group (I think, its small and my eyes are shot), pistol grip, gas piton, muzzle break (again, I'm squinting), etc.

Im sure down the line I could replace bits and pieces, but I'd like to finish the party with a decent firing AK.

Thanks for the help, btw.

Sounds like a place I need to visit - where's it located? What's it called?

Can't recall off the top of my head. It's on the north side of TV in a combination Security/Gun shop. It is a two story building with a neon "guns" sign on the second story window. If you are heading west on TV, it's .4 miles past the theater and flooring shop.

When you walk in, you will swear that they bought out Century. It is filled with row after row of WASRs, Tantals, RPKs, Galils, etc. Way overpriced, but seeing that Century pulled everything from their site, it's a "name your own price" market now.

you better research the laws be for building other wise go to jail

Well, to be honest, I would (and others might) appreciate a quick tutorial on what parts need to be replaced to make the functioning weapon legal. I realize we can't build an FA gun, but apparently there may be other requirements that it sounds like you understand.

ok... here's good data:

The 16 countable parts in a stamped receiver AK with a muzzle device.

(1) Receiver
(2) Barrel
(3) Trunnion
(4) Muzzle attachments
(5) Bolt
(6) Bolt carrier
(7) Gas piston

(12) Pistol grip
(13) Forearm handguards
(14) Magazine body
(15) Follower
(16) Floorplate


No more than 10 of the parts on this list may be Imported, the rest must be of US mfg.

and the building set back from the highway? I think it's called "Security Store."

Yea, that's it. They're real creative, obviously.

I know that place, it's Just north of Hwy 26 at the Murray on/offramps. It's past Sunset High School if you're driving from the Hwy26 and Murray, which means once you hit Cornell, you take a right. You would be traveling eastbound on Cornell road, and it's the first left turn after the intersection, and it's not a big turn at that.

If I'm not mistaken, you may need to go through the Cornell intersection and take the first right into the neighborhood opposite the McDonalds, because they put these ridiculous barriers in the road, and I cannot remember if they blocked that particular entrance on the left side of Cornell.

Link to exact location...

I should have some extra receiver flats next week...

Still waiting on my Jigs to be returned May never lend them out again...

Then I may have a flight to Peru the day after X-mas will be gone for a week.

 

[yotehunter]

i am interested in a couple of flats how much

 

[sweetbeard]

I would be interested in building the flat only... since i do not have a kit yet...

Is someone here selling the raw flats?

Then I could end it at the party??

 

[mobil1]

Oh man, I would love that AKS-74U, but I wouldnt know where to begin on building these.

What kind of tools do you need to do this? Whats the final cost of one of these? Seems pretty spendy for just the parts kit, and its not even complete!

 

[GeoMann]

I'm interested in a build party....I should have my Romanian G parts kit sometime next week, just need to know when and where. I'll order my flat and rails today. Should I stick with the traditional rivet build? or try the screw build style? I guess I can order screws and rivets, and decide later...

 

[Contract_Pilot]

Got my jig back waiting on repair parts now!

 

[stitchclimber]

So besides for a flat and a matching parts kit, what other parts are needed? looking at ordering tomorrow.

 

[stitchclimber]
