 Built with the help and expertise of gunwolf. My younger brother built the bottom rifle, though I finished them both. The rivets look like crap, but not bad considering it was our first attempt. |

Here's my latest project.
Vector AK-47, KG gunkote in Kahki Tan and Flat Black, and internals in silver. The white numbers on the rear sight is nail polish. The hand guards were just drilled to give better venting. Pattern was ala M203 and measured to avoid the internal ribs.    |

This is my half breed. Hay left over parts make good guns too !
 As you can see it's a AMD65 and A Romy G kit. I wonted a side folder on mine and I like the 65's best.( Gives me plenty of room with my big head.) So this is what I came up with. Keith |

Very nice rifles.
I thought about doing some builds, but the tool costs seemed prohibitive to me. Did you guys spend much on tools? |
|
|
|

Posted: 6/22/2007 4:44:17 PM EDT
[#40]
Cost is relative....Like they say there are many ways to skin a cat. How many do you plan to build? I'm assuming you have shop tools, small drill press, angle grinder, punches, BFH, Dremel tool. If your going to build more than a few you can go with a good rivet press set like Plinkers Jig tools for $200.00 for a set . If your only going to build 1 or 2 you can make a rivet tool yourself from a bolt cutter for much less. I use 100% receivers on all my builds. You can bend up a flat for less but it needs a tool. Special tools like a flat bending jig, trigger guard jig, barrel press kits, 12 ton shop press are nice to have and make building easier but you can build an AK with simple hand tools. There is lots of info regarding building AK's out there and many ways to build them. Here's a link to lots of information. www.buildyourownak.com |

Thanks for the link. I haven't had enough time to do anything more than skim through the list of links that it offers, but the site looks like it has more than enough to get me through any builds that I might do.
The wish list of AKs that I'd like to build is six items long. From what I've read on a few other forums, I think I'd enjoy building the AKs, and I can probably get access to all of the tools you list, except for the drill press. So I think I'll just go ahead and tool up. Could you recommend any brands or models of drill press that could get the job done? I'd like to start price checking. Thanks. |

If you have a Harbor Freight store near you you can get 1 of these.
Drill Press I have 1 and it's work fine for AK work. They sometimes have 15% off coupons in their mailings. |

OK back to show and tell.
 Here's a M70AB2 I just finished as a match to the one I posted above. NDS receiver, Oxpho-Blue finish, I stripped the HG, stained & shellac. Refinished the PG too. Gold inlay on the engravings.

Ah my friends I have built my second AK, it's a very rewarding feeling... This one isn't painted yet. It's a Romanian kit, all matching numbers on an Armory USA 1.6 receiver (yes I hand reduced the trunnions with files), VLTOR 6 position stock, Choate forward furniture, I'm drawing a blank on this really nice pistol grip (heavy weight rubber/plastic), I put a rail on it and you can see the weaver B-Square mount on it, Bulgy waffle... G2 dbl hook and AMD muzzle break.
I thought it might be overkill on the expensive furniture but what the heck! Field tests to follow! Any suggestions on optics? I want to go with a small magnified scope mebbe a 4x or 3x, ideas?
