Before I left on vacation I was going to order a Suomi parts kit from Copes, but I let my (soon to be now) ex-wife talk me into waiting and now there are none to be found. I did see some on Gunbroker for $118.00, but they were just $59.99 in Copes. What gives????:dunno:
Dogone coketeck,you must be the only person in the US that is without a suomi kit. Hard to belive they have gone up that much.
At one time if you brought a AK kit, you got a SUOMI KIT FREE. Just a sign of the times. All kits have gone sky high.
there are a lot of guys sitting on these wating for a good way to convert them to SA. undoubtedly the recent articals in SGN have stirred a interest in these and now they are gone and the price has shot up on the secondary market. stens used to be $25 as well.
I didn't realize they'd dried up completely but I wasn't looking to getting anymore anyways. Sure miss the days of buying a kit and getting the Suomi kit for free also...I got almost all my kits that way. I agree with redchevyman in that I hope somebody comes out with a 100% receiver & bolt setup for the Suomi as I'd love to have a rifle and pistol setup.

Actually - there is!
My Striker fired Suomi is now BATF approved. Prexis makes the bolt and receiver. I sell a How-to-buildbuild CD and I also do striker and FCG mods.

I think he means a ready to buy set up.
Simply hang the parts on it and go. I'd also be up for this but I suspect it won't happen so I'll go the longer route.
Crap-I was hoping to move to Alabama!!Oh,well,it gets hot and humid there!gclarks Soumi setup is nice,I think it will be a while before we see a 'plug and play' Soumi receiver,if ever. ---bil
SORRY! I screwed up the hyperlink. I think I have it fixed now.
Unfortunately a completely plug and play receiver would be a FFL item.
