Need Help with Ak build build kit.

[Gambeeno]

So I am adventuring out on my first AK build. I could use some help, not quite sure what all I need for tools. I am a heavy equipment mechanic so I have a good variety to choose from. If someone is willing to help me headspace it and kinda walk me through it. I will make a donation to Northwest Firearms. I can also compensate for the help in cash or some parts. Thanks l!

Those KOLARMS kits are not the best to build an AK with, you should get a Romanian kit
