Personally , I would like to slap those idiots over at Century arms SIDEWAYS for allowing such a molestation of a finite number of gorgeous kits to happen . As an " event " in the industry it should be seen for what it is . Unforgivable .

Of the copies that I have seen , ( along w/ the stock of 15 or 16 Century built m76s that I asked to have checked (and were all found to be " substandard " for my uses )w/ accuracy being to most important . The wholesaler that we tried to work with could not find ONE m76 in their stock that had straight sights ( or weren't bent in some other way .) Now . . I'm not saying that there isn't a good Century M76 out there , . . . . . . . but from my personal experience . . . the odds are NOT good . The receivers that they have are very good . Not cosmetically perfect in a M76 sort of way,
but able to be made straight , and functional . Not like the ORF debacle of fame . One of the ones that I saw had the forged receiver bent a few degrees , behind where the barrel presses into it .
You could hold the rifle up and see the barrel make a left hand turn . This was sent out as a "new " rifle . I am still sick .

Atlantic Firearms also just got in a batch on kits that will be available some time next week according to them.

Not yet, they haven't said. They did say they have some yugo 5.56mm krink kits coming in though!

Would love to do a Russian AK-47 kit but as per Rich's requirements, they need to be barreled kits.

If anyone has a line on complete kit for Russian AK or Yugo M76, drop me a dime.

Those Tula AKS-74U kits have been calling me for a few months, I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out on grabbing one.

Et Tu Vic?

All kits are ok to have. Building them knowing they aren't legal in certain configurations is not ok.

ETA: In the instance of the AMD-65, the original barrel length is 12.5" and it has a side folding stock. In NY the remedy is to replace the folding stock with a fixed unit or welding the folder open, and the barrel can be legally lengthened with a number of aftermarket barrel extenders/muzzle brakes.

You can have as many Krink kits as you like. They're not guns, just parts.

The next best thing is the original Bulgarian chrome-lined barrels for sale on Atlantic Firearms, and the 5.45 AK kit of your choice whether a, Izhmash kit from RGuns or one of the plentiful Bulgarian kits. For an additional $50-75 you can have a builder assemble and head space the barrel beforehand. AK-Builder does a great job. If it were me that's the route I'd take for an AK-74.

You guys are going to hate this, but back in the day the $99 barreled Romy G kits were the metric we used to measure the price of other kits back in 2006/2007. When looking at the Bulgarian AK-74 or Polish Wz.88 Tantal for instance, that both sold for around $200, we would exclaim, "$200 for a kit! Bullshit."

What hotels are around ya?

Hotel de Springwater.




Geneseo, Canandaigua, and Henrietta are the three closest towns that will have decent hotels.

Geneseo has a new hotel that was built over the summer. Henrietta has a ton of them. Canandaigua has a few hotels but I don't know how they are.

There isn't much in the way of hotels, etc. within 35 minutes + of my house.

Where are you located? A second set of jigs would be very handy. Even just a second riveting jig would save a ton of time.

I am coming up from south shore nassau
