Back on track--pic thread (possibly posted before in this thread, sorry if it has been, but don't really care--it's a pic thread, this is a pic of one of my builds passing inspection by one of the judges):

Thanks,
Haha I know, it's actually a brand new Russian wood set from a Maadi kit... The original wood was all beat up and carved into (very cool) but it was cracked and falling apart. So I threw the Russian set on instead, it's got a nice original golden color to it and I like it. I didn't refinish it at all. Originally Posted By ArmedFerret:

ETA-More pieces of the puzzle arrived. 
For now, I'm using an M70 barrel, milled Bulgarian barrel components, milled Bulgarian underfolder stock, Polish bolt carrier, Romanian bolt, and an unknown virgin trunnion. I may use one the my AKM barrels, although I have my heart set on the hybrid build. Depending on how much work I want to avoid, I may just use a Polish stock/trunnion and a Polish flat. I like the looks of the Bulgarian angle, but like the looks of the stamped Polish stock. |

Slowly coming along.
Centerfire Yugo take-offs...the barrel pin slots were much lower than the trunnion hole, so I filled them with a tig. Also had the welder tig the handguard retainer. 
Bulgarian rear sight block from Apex, Maadi cleaning rod, and Bulgarian milled gb and fsb from the EE. Nothing is pinned yet. Once I headspace it to my trunnion, I'll make whatever adjustments necessary.

Finally done. Thanks to BYork_Infantry for his tools and patience.
So, I have an AK74 Bulgarian parts kit. An AK Builder chrome lined barrel. It's held together with AK builder rivets. I installed a Tapco G2 trigger and Kerbs trigger pin retainer. I need a pistol grip to be 922R complaint. I'm waiting for magpuls pistol grip. I want to keep my rifle classic looking, so the magpul might look out of place.

I just finished it this morning. A Romanian G kit that I had originally built as a screw build back in '07, rebuilt it on an NDS-1P receiver with a Polish underfolder. This build made me realize a few things: A - It's not as easy as it looks, and B - I suck at riveting. I used the AK Builder trunnion hole drilling fixture, definitely worth the money, the last time I did this I screwed up the trunnion holes on the receiver. I tried to make my own bolt cutter rivet tool and failed miserably so I got the Toth Tool bolt cutter rivet crusher jaws, again worth the money. The bolt cutters wouldn't reach the bottom rivet on the rear trunnion, so I tried going in through the grip hole and ended up bending the receiver, luckily I got it straightened out, you can still see where it's pinched a little.       |

Rust blued AK Builder flat, M70 barrel, Bulgarian front sight block, rear sight block, handguard retainer, gas block, and top cover, Polish uf, carrier, and pistol grip, Romanian bolt, front trunnion and selector. US piston, trigger, and muzzle brake.
The under folder was beat up, and I bfpu'ed everything else to match. Biggest boner move I made on this one was on the last gas block pin. I inadvertently grabbed an underfolder pin and drove it in. I called it 100%. then flipped it around to see the other side. There was about a quarter inch of pin sticking out the other side. I just cut it off.

If I go that route, the front sight will be stacked right on the gas block, a look I do not dig. I'd keep it as is, looks good. |

Just finished my first build. Kind of took the easy way, with an AK builder kit that already had the barrel populated and installed and an NDS receiver that already had all the holes drilled.
Have to throw out a pic of my helper. He did a great job keeping the cats from getting into stuff!

I also buggered up the long rivet in the rear trunnion trying to do it by hand and wound up using screws. One day I'll have a press and I'll spring for a rivet jig to fix it. Maybe. Got a few hundred rounds through it now, it runs 100%. Here it is after a couple coats of aluma-hyde.
