  • So as far as I understand, AK pistols are gtg, correct? If that is the case, can i buy any old AK receiver, or does it have to be a "pistol" receiver? and by pistol receiver I mean one that the rear trunnion cant accept a stock, or can I build one on a normal receiver and just not put a stock on it? And no, I dont have my hql, so as of right now I cant purchase a completed one. Thanks!

    I am all tooled up for AK builds, if you can buy it, you can build it. Don't have the bending jig any more.[but I know who does] So yeah I see a AK pistol build in your future. pre folded 80% can be done @ my place. It a little pricey for pistol builds but hey it's your $$$.
    My shop & help is free. Love sticking it to the "man"

    yep the dirty dena, if you buy 1 online it would have to go through FFL. If you go that route get 1 without trunnion holes drilled

    can you list all of the other parts needed for a pistol build that are not included in the kit you linked?

    Thanks in advance

    Can a SBR or standard AK be built in the same matter without registration like an AR?

    Standard AK's are def banned.
    I think there was and still is a lot of back and forth debate regarding SBR AK's.
    There is a thread here somewhere.
