Unc,

I just received my very first parts kit this week. I’m hoping to buy a receiver and compliance kit later this month (spreading out the payments), then get together with a buddy who’s already built his own for a “build party”.

What would you say is the hardest part of a DIY AK build? I’m just curious as to how much s**t I’ve gotten myself into… 🙂

Jay, not sure. I haven’t assembled a kit yet. Plan on trying it within the next week or so. Which kit did you get? I have tinkered with one already built and generally find that they’re quite easy to work on, if you have a hammer.

I got one of the TAPCO kits. It was only $100, but I wish I’d sprung for the combo with the trigger group…

I’ve read up on DIY with AK kits, and I’ve seen reactions everywhere from “any halfway competent chimp with a hammer and a Dremel can do it” to “I’m a machinist by trade and I had to throw the kit out”.

Just wondering if I should keep saving up for a WASR… 😉

Well, you could wait until I do mine. I plan on posting pics of the process.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
