The Eighty Dollar AK (It's not made of a shovel)

[12a10]

I have a similar WASR single stack and am planning to convert to double stack.
My unerstanding is that you have to then comply with USC 922 (R) with regard to US content ("compliance"). This can be done by substituting a 3-piece Tapco trigger package and a US made magazine (Tapco plastic) which counts as three parts. Another cheap and easy option is use of a Tapco 3 piece polymer stock set. Let us know how it turns out.

Sweet deal !!!!!

 

[awptickes]

You have single-handedly increased demand for the SAR-1. :/

 

[CZ Fanboy]

Even though it's still a WASR, definitely better than paying $1000 for it!

That and they went to an ffl so its 110% legit

What does this has to do with anything?

All this does is prove the buyer is not a prohibited person.

Has nothing to do with the how the weapon was used previously which my post jokingly decided was to kill someone.

how?

Dont they give the serial number when doing the check?

S/N not given in a NICS check. Only buyer info and what type of firearm whether handgun or long gun.

Congrats on the deal. My dad has one of those also.

My mistake then. Thanks for clearing that up

Buyer's personal info isnt usually recorded in the bound book (varies of course, I'm speaking in general tendency)...sn on the 4473 is a way to cross reference from name and sn in bound book to address if something comes up regarding the gun. But no check is done by the ffl as none is required. OP you may want to have the cops check (be anonymous and don't volunteer anything you dont have to) and make sure the sn wasnt reported stolen just for sanity.

Very nice must be all that clean living you doing.

That doesn't happen but if it did it would only prove the firearm isn't stolen....that would have no bearing if it was used illegally to harm someone...which again was my joke to begin with.

Now see, if VA had that spent casing law, there'd be no worries about the gun having bodies on it...

For $80 though, that's a helluva deal.

Did you open the Magwell yet?

That AK doesn't look half bad for under $100!

Yep, it might very well have been stolen. It would suck to get stopped with it and have law enforcement run the s/n and it comes back stolen. Better to get it figured out now than later.

Wow so md sucks as far as that goes... Nothing that says the weapon may have an issue. In msp's many top secret different databases.


Check this out:

I know it doesnt help you all out but it would be nice to have something similar up there i think. A retired LEO showed me that site. He said any issue a firearm may have would pop up there. It only gives info if a firearm has an issue(used in crime/stolen) Kinda nice to know, i felt better when buying my m9.

Just goes to show how MD isnt truely in it for the safety of its citizens. Something like that is simple and a useful tool, but its more important to limit your citizens rights instead.

 

[BossmanPJ]

ill double your money on it. haha.

update

I finally got around to roughing out the magwell. No mag wobble, just need to smooth out the opening and clean it up some. Also fixed the rear sight block, it was canted just a little bit, but enough to bother me

Next step will be add the bayonet lug (may weld one up or just use a spare akm gas block I have), thread the muzzle, add a new fcg and then address the furniture.
