what do I need to build an AK

[dubs chops]

I am getting A M64 underfolder parts kit, I am planning on buying a nice milled receiver but haven't found a good tutorial or instructions telling me what All i will need for this, If there is a bunch of specialty tools required I don't plan I buying them, who could build this for me at a reasonable cost?

I have heard that these guys are pretty good at building the AK style.

There are a bunch of internet resources on building AKs. I have several links on my home computer and can post them later.

Doing an AK is not like an AKM. There are different type of milled receivers that require screwing in and headspacing, some are screw in and then cross pin, etc. I know one of the big problems with the Russian screw in style is that to properly headspace the sights and gas block may not be centered. I don't think that the milled is that hard per say, just challenging.

FWIW, I have 2 AK kits with 80% receivers that I've toyed with selling. I'd like to build them but not sure I'll do it anytime soon.

Buy plates and weld them in. AK's are easy I have built my share of them. If I was going to build a milled AK I would definitely measure everything out and get it fitted then bevel the edges, weld the **** out of it, and shoot it. If you are worrying about reselling it then you should buy a complete gun, if you want a gun that you can take pride in building with basic hand tools then knock yourself out.

I believe it is 300 bucks for them to build it. Mike Friend is probably in the top 5 ak smiths in the country. He developed the first made in usa milled ak receiver. Ge also did the first few hundred of the new arsenal saiga conversions. BTW he is in wyandotte, Ok so no shipping required if your up for a little drive.

Tony at Tromix(broken Arrow) also a great smith but he mainly deals in saiga shotgun conversions. He is backlogged for eternity.

theakforum.net Is a great resource. Also look up moondoggys videos on youtube.



Turbothis from theakforum.net can reweld your milled kit if that is to much for you.
