DFWMustangs.net AK build party

[01yz2nv]

All I know is they are both Bulgy Ak74 with the the receivers stated above,
One kit has a new barrel, and the other kit has the barrel already installed in the trunion.
If the 80 is gonna be a pain, I may just hold off on that one for now. That or order another Nodak receiver.

I just need to see how many people have 80% receivers. If we only have a handful Nodak receivers may be the ticket. I'll even volunteer to buy the 80%'s off you to put towards a Nodak. If I can get enough 80% receivers it will be financially feasible for me to finish all of them out.

Now the kit with the barrel installed, has it been torch cut, will it need to be demilled? (as in needs the rivets drilled/removed)

Also, I'm okay with anyone that has a Yugo kit, I just finished doing one and I got it down now. The trunions are a motherfucker to demill though.

[01yz2nv]

Why would it need demilled? Can that barrel and trunnion not be used as is, or is that not compliant?

No, those are the best kits to get, already headspaced. But usually they have been torch cut, so the trunion, receiver, trigger guard, etc. has to be cut out and rivets drilled/punched out.

edit see below:

Oh ok I see, no its already demilled then.

So a full day and no one else?

I need to know how many people actually have AK parts kits they want to build, what type of kits they are (virgin, kits that need to be demilled, underfolder, yugo etc.)I also need to know what kind of receivers you have.

The reason I've put the build party on the back burner is we've had many people people say they bought tools, but none of them ever coughed them up when I asked for all of them to see where we were. If people do not buy the build jigs and tools we just can't do this. All of the tools combined we will need are probably close to around $700-1000.

Also, I need to know how many people have kits that need to be demilled (torch cut, receiver stubs). The reason being is we cannot demill kits at the build, it takes far too long and that's on top of an assembly that takes far longer than an AR-15. So anyone with a parts kit that needs to be demilled must do the demilling themselves beforehand. If we have 10 guys wanting to build AK's I *might* be able to build 1 in the entire evening if it needs to be demilled. I will be more than happy to give any instructions on how to do it, it's just too time consuming.

Ah, just saw it.

I have 1 polish underfolder kit with a nodak underfolder receiver. My parts kit is pretty much demilled. I just need to punch out what is left of the rivets.

I will only be building one rifle this go around.

I'm still shopping for a parts kit. Haven't figured out if I'm going to have the extra money to pick one up in time. I've got $2500 to pay for school before the 3rd week in Jan.

Do you think you can demill that kit?

[red89notch]

I only have an AK74 bugly kit and an 80% reciever with everything needed to finish the build. I have been looking for a cheap underfolder AK47 kit but haven't found one. 74 kit is demilled and new barrel is installed in the trunion and headspaced according to centerfire systems.

[CJ]

so far 1 80% receiver.

[Pokulski-Blatz]

Do you think you can demill that kit?

Shouldn't be a problem.

[white88]

I have an 80% lower also but can and am willing to buy another lower. It has been a while since I ordered it but I believe the rifle I have is a virgin demilled Yugo kit.

I just did a yugo so I'm familiar with them. Just make sure all the rivets are clear out of the trunions, and you can see all the way through.

If you have a yugo kit then those 80% receivers we bought earlier this year from robertrtg.com are not going to work. You will need a yugo receiver to fit the RPK trunion. Also, you'll need to verify if it's a 1mm or 1.6mm receiver.

Just poking in to say I'm still interested. I have a receiver flat, was told months ago to wait for kits to drop back down to ~$200. I guess that isn't happening? Where are y'all getting your kits from?
