You get so far with your 80%...focusing on taps, drill presses, welders, files, rails, presses, measurments, part kits, paint bla bla... but I dont know how to put in da GUTS!
Anyone have a file or a link to some pictures/diagrams of the internal parts of an AK47? (that is'nt in Russian!)

Nick,

I have found this to be a very informative site. Use the tabs on the left. It will review alot of different parts, etc. that you can change out on your AK. This helps with assembly.


edit: sorry forgot the link.

you'll not have all these parts but the hammer , trigger , disconnect will be the same.

i got ta be honest, the excitement I felt last night was almost unbearable- I made copies of all the diagrams from links you guys sent me and put the parts in. I had no idea how an AK actually functioned until last night, for some reason I thought it was going to be more complex then it was. The build still isnt done yet, i got to make the center support today and mig the lower rails in place-along with welding the receiver to the trunnions-then just some minor filing of the upper rails. But I'm real excited about how the whole thing is coming all together. And I got no one to thank but EVERYONE here at gunco.net! You guys are the best...so is Dr. M. Kalashnikov for designing such a fool proof machine. To all the newbies like myself out there, Dont give up-keep asking questions no matter how stupid you may think they are! sorry for the wishy washy rant. I got work to do, good luck building.

Congratulations Nick. This indeed is a WONDERFUL website. I knew the first time I stopped here that this is the place to be. This is where I ask most of my questions too. Check out the Newbie Lounge....I've got a ton of posts in there. We are completely surrounded by AK fanatics(moderators) who are very seasoned in the all aspects of building AK's and many other weapons. :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :cheers: :cheers: :rockin: :rockin: :thankyou: :thankyou: :welcome: :welcome: :slap: :slap: :slap:
