Don't let me discourage you, though. With any work put into a building/assembling something yourself, there is a great satisfaction that comes with doing it. You gain a great understanding of your rifle.
I was just funning about that photo that saxon posted since I know a guy who built an AK with out a press using a hammer to demil his barrel and trunnion. I think he used the penny method to reinstall the barrel into the trunnion after riveting the Rivets into the trunnion using a homemade rivet tool made from a bolt cutter.
other popular builds as you gains skills and confidence or depending on your skills and confidence are H&K clone builds, 1911 builds, GLock builds, 10/22 builds, they make 80% receivers for all than I mentioned and there are more.
