[QUOTE="SHOTGUN12, post: 3355115, member: 966"] I hate to rain on your parade, but I know just enough about building these things to also know that there’s no similarity to building an AK and assembling an AR15. If you’re the least bit limited in the skills and equipment required for this, you’re in for more than just a new “hobby”. There’s several guys around that can do this for you, but it wouldn’t be just a weekend project for you. Unless you have a good 20 ton hyd. press and the other tooling and fixtures you’ll need, you’re up a creek without at least having someone around to help you. This is not to say you’re totally screwed, but research the procedures and what will be required, as much as possible before committing to a project like this. You might be money ahead by just hiring an experienced builder to do the work, especially if they have all the goodies needed to do the job. There are allot of AK builders around, and probably the best place to start, is over on one of the AK47 websites, where there are plenty of tutorials by experienced builders, and go from there. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
