Southern Maryland AK Build Party - Part 3

[BLACKTALON]

Well one of the best AK info people just got permabanned. thanks Brad just alittle heated over it

 

[BradMacc82]

Tread lightly.

I understand completely. All 4 of the kits came with 16.5" US made barrels. So not technically 65's.

do you have pre October receivers ?

 

[StillServing]

Yes, and thank you for your concern(s).

I've PM'd Tc and everything is above board and looking good.

Where will this be held? Looks like my Dad and I will be in attendance. I've got my Polish underfolder to build out and we ordered him one of the Hungarian parts kits.

I'm a novice at AK construction as this is my first one but we're working to make sure we meet the 922(r) nonsense. His rifle will have a US made barrel, magazine body/follower/floorplate, muzzle attachment and receiver so we should be good to go if my research is correct. Not sure what I am going to do for my rifle since it's an older parts kit with a foreign made barrel. Guess I could get a Tapco trigger or something and use the same other US parts that he is using. Unless someone here has a better idea...

 

[Bertfish]

Also it was suggested a while back that the best way to preserve the original look of the rifle while finishing the receiver was to rivet in the trunnions, bead blast the assembled receiver, parkerize it, and then coat it in Norell's Molyresin before completing the build.

Does anyone have the molyresin and will there be a park tank at this party? I would gladly compensate someone for use of the coating. Since I will only need it once I figured it'd be better to ask here first

 

[Bertfish]

Just saw that there would be a park tank but the other part of my question still stands

Are they still planning a big announcement? I have been debating jumping on one of these kits or one with a barrel already head spaced but their comment about something big has given me a moment of pause. Limited receivers and cash are making the decision tougher!

these are the best kit and price we have seen in years if you are just a shooter get the $200 kit collector the 250

 

[stu929]

is it worth getting one with a headspace barrel for 349? Other than attending a build party I have no way of assembling these.

I was debating the matching vs non. Non wouldnt hurt my feeling yes it will be for the collection but I'm not an ak collector and its on a homebuilt lower so it wont be sold.

 

[awptickes]

Hrm. Maybe I'll have parts to put together.

 

[stu929]

Are you arranging another party? Maybe a little closer? I attended one you held before to bend and drill my receivers.

 

[stu929]

I was dying too see the .22lr build shame you sold the parts kit.

 

[BLACKTALON]

Cant decided on a Hungarian kit or a ak-74 kit

 

[foodpoison]

Cant decided on a Hungarian kit or a ak-74 kit

do both

 

[stu929]

I have a 74 guess that means I need to do a hungarian :-)

BTW mags for the 74 are an investment if you have more than a few.

 

[BLACKTALON]

do both

cant afford to do both trying to trade up on a few sites right now for a parts kit actually. I have some yugo ammo but have never shipped ammo and I heard its a pain
