AK build class at Rifle Dynamics

[Bill Coye]

Had a great time last weekend at Rifle Dynamics in Las Vegas at their AK build class. We started with a box of parts and finished with a fully functional rifle. The FSB, GB, hand guard retainer and rear sight tower had been pressed onto the barrel prior to the class. This was a time saving decision to keep the class moving but thankfully all information was covered in detail step-by-step. 922r compliance parts were: US chrome lined bbl, muzzle device, receiver and trigger group. I have re-sized these photos but they're still freakin' huge....

Initial test fire: All rifles were left without lubrication. The instructions were to fire the rifle in any manner other than from the shoulder. If it was going to screw up, this would be the time. There was one out of thirteen rifles that had a problem. Easy fix.



Good times!

Thanks man. It was a lot of fun!

We were provided a plain jane Romanian parts kit which was perfect for the first (of many) build.

Mind sharing the cost?

Looks like a good time!

Mind sharing the cost?

Pretty fast paced with 13 folks at the presses. However, to be able to tap the brain trust in that shop was worth the price of admission.

Three days hands-on instruction and the rifle: $1800.00. This was scheduled in November so there's no telling what cost will be for the basic class going forward. Parts kits have gone up along with everything else.

To bad no one locally offers this.

Can't really offer a class... But if there were a person or two with a parts kit, I have the tooling...
