I will post probably the week before if I will be able to attend on the 25th.
So tempting.... I don't know if I can afford to get all the parts in time. Any experience with Childer's receivers? And for barrels is Green Mountain GTG or should I just bite the bullet and get a K-VAR Bulgarian. I will need to send it off to ADCO for cut and thread.
Krebs has pistol trunnions http://www.krebscustom.com/products/34/Krebs-Custom-Rear-Trunnion-for-AK-Pistol
Anyone find and sub $300 74 kits?
ok ladies, My current build is gonna be 14.5 barrel pinned & welded muzzle device. Having a hard time deciding on witch M/D. I want it to be steel, long enough,help with muzzle rise/recoil,and not be to heavy. Any ideas?
This and the part that foodpoison suggested and you should be GTG. I see you are opting for the thicker 1.5mm receiver... Nice.
I have a 1.5mm on my MB70B1 and it is beefy.
Thanks foodpoison and tc, thats what I needed to know. Now to start gathering my parts!
They have annoyed me in the past, so I'm torn, but royal tiger has Bulgarian kits with IO barrel for $300 base price and up from there. I also am not sure whether I trust the barrel, but it's not a terrible price.

Price on the Royal Tiger 74 kit is pretty good. Was just about to add it to the cart until I read that RTI doesn't ship to Maryland. Oh well no business from me.
I believe (someone correct me if in wrong) if you opt for the 1.5mm thick receiver, you will need to remove .25mm of material from both sides of the front and rear trunnions to get them to fit into the receiver.
Speaking of pistol kits, Just received my 12.5" AMD kit from AK-Builders (last one in stock). Really nice numbers matching kit. Looking forward to finishing this one.
