Ak 47 parts kit?????

[sheetmetaldoneright]

Has anyone built one of these Ak-47 parts kit from start to finish. Any information on what parts you ordered and how hard it was to do would be aprreciated.

A lot of have. But, we have not written any manuals or done a step by step of it here yet.

Well yeah obviously.... just looking for some info on where to get a good kit. What to look for, key steps, whats considered expensive/cheap, etc. I'm new to building on my own and would like to get into this hobby. I'm also a supervisor at an engineering/cnc factory so tools and mechanical knowledge is there... so I wont be completely blind on this.

There are many members here that started or help start the building crazy for AK's, AR's, subgun etc. Tons of information to read and search through including a wealth of member knowledge.

Enjoy and welcome aboard

your getting tot he part late kits have gone out of site an possible new laws may make what you build illeagle . if you find a kit better get to work fast or you might have parts you cant build.

getting a 100% reciver is almost impossible an there going for $300 on Gun broker. you can bend a flat or use a bent polish shell You will need to be able to spot weld or plug weld rails an the flats are sold out most places.

this is not a good time to get into building AKs as investments in tools an parts might be worthless if there is a assulat weapon ban.

good luck on getting a kit. a basic Rommy that used to be $100 is now over $500 .

tons of info here if you decide to build. go tot he build it your self an start reading from 7 years ago forward. check out he stickies at the top of the page.

I have seen on a couple of forums where people bought the receiver shell and downloaded a template with all the hole dimensions in place. Then of course glued the template to the shell and drilled their own holes. Now one question I haven't been able to find the answer to is are all the receiver holes the same for the ak-47? So If I bought a kit could I use that template or would I have to lay everything out myself?

I have also seen a lot of the kits have milled receivers and barrels. The receiver Isn't a problem for me to fabricate. I was wondering if anyone had any info on the barrels. I have seen the kits wit barrels that have been drilled in places. Is it easy to find the right barrel?
