[QUOTE="avtomatkalashnikov47, post: 3375803, member: 41545"] yeah well, i have lots of experience with these, have watched tons of videos for quite a few years on building them and i finally found a cheap parts kit so i jumped on it. i just figured i would throw it out there that after 10 years of owning atleast 30 different ak's im finally starting to build one from scratch. ive converted atleast 10 saiga rifles and shotguns in my time and did a few for a couple friends. today i Just removed a barrel pin on the kit i got for now. going to be a long road ahead of me but im very serious about this. i will need alot of tools, i just figured i would ask if anyone else had the stuff to build them seeing as how it quickly adds up , were talking minimum of probably 1000-2000$ just in specialty tools to for the purpose to build Ak's. people told me to reach out in my local area and see if anyone else had been building them that would be kind enough to help me and let me use some of their tools and spoke of how in the day they would have "build partys" where everyone met up to build these kinds of guns. id much rather build it myself than send it to someone else. no one will give this gun the time and attention to detail and care as much as the owner would because its going to be my gun. now i got to figure out how to press the barrel stub off and remove the rear sight, going to be a long term project i do on my very little free time. so i guess im gonna be buying a bunch of tools to actually start building these things if everything goes alright and nothing comes up.
