AK101 build

peteNW503 · Jul 29, 2023

Well I wanted an AK101 but the one I wanted with the 90 degree gas block were like a thousand so I tried to build one for the first time. Here is what I ordered and this is how it turned out! Ordered the barrel assembly from PSA along with the fire control group and the furniture set. I had to modify the lower handguard to fit. The hardest part was the trigger install got cut up a bit with AKs I call them love scars

. How did I do? Took about 4 hours to put it together should have been shorter but I'm slow I enjoyed the learning process!

Yes they threaded it pretty well and the retainer pin or whatever they used seems to keep it pretty snug. I got slapped a few times with the damn hammer springs but finally figured out pull them back lol

PSA has definitely upped their AK game.

I'm not understanding the hand photos… are you showing us how soft they are, or are you just waving at us?

It's that Puerto Rican skin I'm just naturally smooth. I've learned to live with it lol

Looks pretty sweet to me.

Have you taken it to the gun range yet?

I need to soon! I function tested the trigger to make sure the safety worked properly and to make sure the trigger reset properly. Hoping next week I can put some lead down range!

@peteNW503 you did great, congrats.

Working on guns is half the fun for me. The more projects you take on the more tools you acquire and the easier it gets. Then you r imagination really starts going.
