Your local harware store may have some, too. If you live close enough, Palmer Bolt and Supply has very good prices. They will ship, but it will probably be more expensive than the screws.

O.K. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this.....I have a Hesse AK-47 reciever that has the rails installed and all holes drilled with the cross pin. It is blued and looks like it's ready for final assembly.

First, where would be a good place to start with a parts kit. I want to keep it legal so will go with the compliance parts and so on. I have built many AR-15's and I know it's a different animal, but I think I'm up for this task.

How can I turn this receiver into a weapon I'll be proud to own or am I better off selling it? Any and all input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I deleted the hundreds of pages of  tutorials that I'd been offering free for the last decade.   I now offer the information for sale in a convenient 8 hour DVD and 200+ page workbook set. It is the ultimate AK builder resource.

I don't know if this would go against forum rules but I personally make ak receiver bending kits. Looks like you could use more resources in that area if its not against the rules of course...

Firing line is a 404.
Ohio Rapid Fire is just a picture background.
Bent metal is 404.
AA-OK has no server and doesn't exist.
Global Trades just links to a white page.

The link for Bent Metal actually contains malware.  That link should be removed.
