And what flat do I need to build it?
I know it's a 5.45x39 but that's about all I know. 
My cousin was a foreman on oil drilling rigs in Utah when one of his workers got into a little trouble and had to forfeit his firearms. The guy's lawyer stripped all of his guns destroyed the receivers and sold off the other parts to help pay his fees. My cousin knew I was into building guns and sent me the AK74. |

1986 Tula AKS-74u parts kit. Barrel looks intact, which if it's an original Tula AKSu barrel then it's worth A LOT. The kit itself is already worth quite a bit even if the barrel is a Bulgarian or a cut down '74. Looks like you still need the stock, and the correct stock would be a rolled strut/ribbed buttplate triangle stock, which are harder to find than the newer straight strut/smooth buttplate triangle stocks. But they are out there.

Thanks for the info. I have the stock but I can't use it here in Commiefornia. I'll have to build this as a pistol.

This was all one original gun before the receiver was destroyed.

Curious - why not? If the stock is fixed closed, then it's no different than duct taping a piece of wood to the side - it doesn't change anything. Yes, it would be more difficult to mount a side-rail scope, but if it can't be fired from the shoulder, it's not a rifle.

I guess I could pin the stock closed but it seems like that would just add weight with no purpose. |

Why destroy the receivers?
If he was truly a prohibited person, just have the attorney sell them as live firearms. Worth WAY more that way I would think?
